Chapter 1

"Aurora! Aurora!" I heard Ma Coco call out my name and i giggled slightly "Phew Aurora, come out, I give up" I heard her say and I came out from my hiding "I am here Ma Coco, You couldn't find me which means I won our game" I say excitedly and she nods tiredly "Come on Sweetie, its time for dinner" She says and i nod excitedly "Ma Coco, It's two days to Levare's candle light, do you think Ma and Pa will come?" I asked and she smiled faintly at me

"I don't know Rory, but we would lit candles all over the cactus, wouldn't you love that?" She asked me and i giggled softly 

Levare's candlelight has always and will always be my best time of the year, seeing I get to lit candles all over the Cactus and sing, I'm Aurora Martin, Rory for short

I have a secret to tell you, I haven't been outside before, You see i have always wondered how it is in the actual world, I know there are people like me and Ma Coco everywhere but it wouldn't hurt to see another face apart from Ma Coco, I grew up in the Cactus 'Haha, I'm sure you don't know what a Cactus is' The Cactus is my home, According to Ma Coco the cactus is supposed to protect me from dangers but what kind of danger would come from me!

I have a Ma and Pa that I have never seen, although Ma Coco says they see me but how can they see me? 

I have tried to leave the Cactus but it wouldn't let me, The Cactus has a mind of it's own you see! I have a puppy that Ma. Coco got for me, she's a cute little bundle of joy, her name is cripsy, I only have Ma. Coco and Cripsy here, Ma.Coco said my Ma gave birth to me here and I am not allowed to go out till she says so but how would I know when I haven't even seen my Ma

"Aurora!!" I heard her yell again and i got off my bed, running towards the kitchen "Ma.Coco, I am here" I say and she shakes her head "I told you not to run to the kitchen Rory, what if you had fell?" She says and i grinned at her "But I didn't fall now, did i?" I say and she shook her head in disapproval, she set the plate of food on the table and turned to look at me with her hands akimbo, ready to give me a lecture "What if there was a spilled oil on the floor,  you are a lady Aurora and you should behave like one" She says in her very stern voice.

I bowed my head "I'm sorry Ma.Coco, I wouldn't do that again" I say and she sighs "Lets have dinner alright" I nod and sat down, waiting for her to dish our foods "I will be going out tomorrow Rory, I want to get us Candles, do not go out" She says and i nod solemnly 

"It is always like this every year, She goes out for more Candles while i stay in the Cactus, I am only allowed to move within it surroudings but never out of the Cactus. Haha, it has always been like this ever since I could understand things 

I finished with my dinner and washed my plates "I would be retiring to bed Ma.Coco, Goodnight" I say and kissed her cheeks while she rubbed my hair, "Good night Rory" She says back and I walked out of the kitchen to my room 

Cripsy barked as soon as she saw me and I chuckled "I only went to eat Crips, missed me that much" I say and touched her furr, She purred and i laughed 

"We should sleep too Crips but before then i should have my bath, I stripped off my clothes and had my bath, After i was done i laid on my bed

Maybe one day I would have my prince harming, Just like in snow white and cinderella that Ma.Coco got me, Just maybe one day My Prince charming would come get me from the Cactus

i smiled faintly as i slowly drifted off to sleep "Goodnight Ma and Pa"
