Six - Truth

We both walk into the throne room. King Leonids sitting in his throne grining from ear to ear. Queen Lindy with the biggest grin plastered on her face I have ever seen.  Faulk stops and I follow his lead but he turns his eyes toward the King and Queen. Encouraging me to go forward I get to the end of the beautiful rug  just before them. As stupid as it seems to me at the time, I bow as deeply as I can to them both. I have only been here for mere hours and yet they have been the nicest people aside from Mary and Faulk I have ever met. 

“ My darling girl you do not ever need to bow before us” King Leonids booms. I jump up at the sound of his voice, startled. Which makes him giggle. 

“Aurora, you have been brought to us by our son Faulk. He states he believes your his sister by blood and wants you to become a part of our family. I know you have many questions and they will all be answerd in due time my love. But for now we must fill you in on what you will need to know.  Faulk has told us you now know he is a wolf as well as he has told us of the life you have previously lived. What you believe is not what the world truly is.”  He pauses, brushing his hair out of his face before he continues…..

“ Human are not the only things to exist in the world love, there are wolves, witches, fairy’s, angels, demons, mermaids and dragons. They all live together here on earth and co exists in peace with each other for the most part. I am King Leonids, King of all creatures in this world.” He booms out the last lines loudly and Soo proud his chest puffs up. 

“I am Queen Lindy, Queen of all creatures in this realm” Lindy says with her held held high and a deep smile on her face. 

All I can do is blink as I am awe struck of the power I can feel radiating throughout the room. 

King Leonids continues, 

“No one outside of our world is to know of our world, but you are an exception to that rule. As your brother has been keeping us up to date with your life.  You see we found your brother one evening years ago. He was almost dead naked in the middle of the forest while we were out taking a walk. We brought him back here and nursed him back to health. I could feel his wolf had almost given up.  When Faulk woke, he tried to run afraid of who we were and what we are. I slowly gained his trust. It took me weeks before he started to talk to me and even longer to get him to open up. Eventually he tells me of his “dad” or Sam as we know him by. Sam no longer required him to be around anymore, afraid of Faulks strength and that he would want Sam’s small pack to himself.  He was brought into a clearing and beaten to death, or so they thought. Your brother is a very very strong man and a much stronger wolf, and survived.” 

“The day after this was brought to my attention, I had a crew go out and hunt down Sam and his small pack….and they were dragged here, by silver chains around their ankles kicking and screaming. I had them all chained up, upside down, my men took care of the pack….” 

“And I took care of Sam myself” Faulk stated from behind me

“Yes, I allowed Faulk to do what he pleased with Sam” the king grinned and evil grin, I wish I didn’t notice. Note to self don’t make the king or queen upset. 

“So without all the gory details, Sam was killed” the king spoke and I flinched at his words, turning my head to look at my new brother who I could tell was reminiscing of the experinece.

“Now I know this is so much on your first day here, but we must get down to our first business. You now know that humans are not the only creatures on this planet and ur brother has brought you here to save you from out there. Which means you now have to make a choice Aurora, you can choose to stay and be part of our family, but with that you must choose a creature to become as no humans are allowed to know our secrets. Or you can choose to go back out there on your own, we will erase everything you have seen and herd you will then be on your own.”  The king turns and heads back to sit in his throne the queen is staring at me. I can feel the instanisty of my brother eyes on my back boring a hole through it. Everyone waiting for my response. 

I start having a panic attack in my head. Going over everything I have herd again and again. My mind not shutting off, on over drive. Going through all this new information and replaying my life before my eyes. Then darkness consumes me. I see nothing, blackness….. 

I can hear shuffling and nosies around me but yet can’t hear anything at al. No matter how hard I strain to open my eyes, they will not!
