Aurora The knocking on the door became more insistent, causing me to quicken my pace. I looked around for Stella but couldn't find her. Getting to the door, I paused for a moment to moment, wondering who it could be at that late hour. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door, my claws stretched out and ready for attack. "Francis!!" I exclaimed, trying to hide my surprise. His eyes travelled straight to my claws, a smile forming on his face immediately. "Sorry I alarmed you my dear," he apologized curtly with a bow. "You'll need to say more than that," I replied as I tried to steady my breath. "So what brought you here?" He stood still as I gave way for him to come inside. "Oh that won't be necessary Aurora. There's a party going on downtown and I thought you'd like to attend it."
