Midst of Darkness!

Aurora's POV I flicked the switches open to brighten my house. The silence stared back at me with the same horror which my heart holds. The house is beautiful, built by my grandmother with the love she had for her husband and future. It's elegant with the maximum view of the outside garden which I can barely take care of. No matter how much beauty this house holds, it always haunts me. I removed my shoes and stepped on the soft carpet. My heart picked up the race with every step towards my room. It's not a two story house. It's medium sized with a kitchen, hall and two rooms with a rooftop. I use only one room leaving another one as untouched as it was when my parents died. Everyone dies in this house mysteriously. My grandparents died in the same room, people say they were hanged to the ceiling which shows that they committed suicide but no one knows the reason. After their death my parents took their room and after some years they were also found dead in the same condition. I

Aurora's POV Night wasn't showing any mercy. It was like the sky was crying its heart out with the mourn for someone beloved. The wind was angry, slapping and breaking everything which comes in its way. Many predicted that the town was going to flood that day because streets were looking like small rivers. I had left the library early that night because I knew I won't get a cab if I leave at the usual time. The senior allowed and I booked a cab. "Looks like something bad is going to happen..." The driver said while driving through the busy street. Roads were jammed due to heavy rain and everyone was eager to go home safely. I had never seen such traffic for a long time. I love dark rainy nights, they are fascinating and I feel that they hold something mysterious in them. They are saga! But that night was a nightmare for everyone. It didn't start the saga but the misery for me. My cab finally made its way out of the busy streets and got on the way to my home which is is

Aurora's POV I literally ran towards the car and got in while slamming the door shut. I won't be surprised if I get a heart attack in the coming days. "Woah! Slow down, beauty..." Catherina chuckled. "I wasn't going to leave you behind..." "Sorry" I replied, maybe I slammed her car door too rough. "Why are you saying sorry" She chuckled and started the car. "Now that I realised, you never really talk to me... You just say sorry and thank you..." I looked out of the window as she started rumbling, Catherina loves to talk and I love to hear her talk. She gives me hopes that I am still in the normal world. "By the way you are blushing today, I mean your cheeks and nose are tinted pink... It suits you, are you using a new blush or something?" How do I tell her that it's because I cried. Yeah! And the blush name is Rafael Delgado. "I don't use makeup" I chose to say instead. She always asks me what my skincare is and what made up products I use, she often checks my purse f

Aurora's POV I struggled, did whatever I could do to get hold of something or someone. Hands couldn't help but struggled to hold on to the water which wasn't possible. Legs couldn't find the ground to stand. Eyes were closed and saw nothing but darkness, lungs burnt without oxygen and head filled with the water through nose. It felt like my heart would come out of my chest and float in the water. My heart felt more pain than my body. I was about to pass out but then a strong hand pulled me up. I clutched on the hand tightly and sucked in the breath, took in as much as I could do like I am not going to get air again. My eyes opened as I kept gasping for the air. Eyes were burning due to water. Those mischievous grey orbs mocked me. Rafael was holding me up. "I have a phobia of water, please... Leave me!... I'll die!" I pleaded and tried to get out of the water but he held me back firmly. He was standing in the water like a king, and water wasn't even reaching his chest while

Aurora's POV That night I slept like my soul had left my body, it was almost like I was unconscious due to drowning. But that nightmare didn't leave me alone, I was a seven year old child when I was playing around the pool with my puppy. He ran towards the pool, I quickly grabbed him so he wouldn't drown himself, his one leg was injured and dad had rescued him from the streets. I bonded with him quickly. I was about to get up when someone kicked me from behind and I fell into the pool along with the puppy. Same darkness, burning of lungs, feeling of body getting numb and not getting anything to hold on, fear of death, everything was the same. Someone pulled me out, it was Dad. He rescued me. "How the hell did you end up in the pool" He yelled at me, but it didn't matter because I was numb. I was shocked. When I recovered, Dad told me that the puppy died after drowning. I still regret that day and my fear of water got stronger. I don't remember who kicked me but all I heard
