SPAIN

SPAIN.AURORA’S POINT OF VIEW.“Lord, we searched the entire city.” Mom chuckled, the sound sad, humorless, and pained. She turned away, her shoulders tense as she looked out the window. The only way I could see her face was through the reflection. “Silas was distraught. He feared they’d been kidnapped. We pulled our resources….all of us, me, Lucien's mother….our entire friend group who also attended Ravenscroft High. We looked throughout the country.The police, the FBI….everyone had all hands on deck. We waited, prayed, fasted….hoped. but nothing; not even a word. I remember holding onto Silas, trying my hardest not to break because I knew he needed the strength I could give him. We waited; days bled into weeks, and into months. I felt everyone’s resolve breaking. At some point, a few friends already mourned them, believing they were dead….But I couldn’t let that be me.I held on; for myself…for Silas. And just when I thought nothing would happen, we got a call. It happened six mont

A FATHER'S GUILT

A FATHER’S GUILT.AURORA’S POINT OF VIEW.“The betrayal didn't just break Silas; it shattered the foundation of everything he thought he knew. I’d never seen him so….broken. nothing could get him to eat or live like a human being again. Especially when saw the hell Kai endured for six months, and the effects of it.I had to get him seated so he could sleep and force-feed him. For months, Marloise never reached out, not a word, a text, a letter….or even a pidgeon. A part of me hoped she was suffering too for what she did; at least from guilt. Kai was distraught….utterly wounded.And he kept calling for you. No matter what, he wanted Aurroa. But Silas and I didn’t know what would happen if you two saw each other again. We knew it could go awry.So we made a plan. I’d get you hypnotized and taken far away, while he would lie to Kai that you never survived. That Marloise had gotten to you.We did all we could to get evidence against Armando, too. I had a feeling he worked with Marloise an

JUST LIKE CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS.

AURORA’S POINT OF VIEW.My ears began to ring; my heart beat resounding like a wildly beating drum connected to megawatt speakers. I stared at mom, my eyes like saucers; the words of the journalist echoed in my mind. “No,” I whispered. I can't believe dad would……“Armando.” Mom did not appear fazed or scared. Rather, she chuckled like someone ten steps ahead. “You son of a bitch.”“Mom….why are you so calm right now? If Dad manages to get the court or public opinion on his side, he won't get punished. We won't get justice.” I said, my voice frantic. Mom turned to me, her hands warm on mine.“Do you trust me, Aurora?” Her voice was soft, gentle, tender. She stared at me, those eyes that calmed me for years with only a stare. Eyes I longed to see again, even if it meant I had to give myself. “What does that have to do with anything, Mom?”“Do you. Trust. Me, Aurora?” She repeated, this time, each word had emphasis behind it. I stared at my mom, replying without ehsistation/.“Of course,

THE GREATEST LOVE.

AURORA’S POINT OF VIEW.THREE DAYS LATER.I did it.I let Kai and my mum take me to the shrink, Misha. I’d felt nervous, anxious, and a tad bit scared. But I wanted to do it…..I needed to. “Miss Evermore, your mother says to call you that; is that alright by you?” she’d asked. I nodded, rubbing my palms together.I didn’t want to be associated with a man like Armando any longer… so I was not De la Vista. My mother is my family; always and forever. Misha gives me a warm smile, a pristine white coat and gloved hands gave me the feeling that this was a hospital, and not a shrink’s hut. I felt Kai’s strong, warm grip on my back from before, and the soft hug my mom had given me before I walked in here.The spot my mother had to carry me into years ago.Misha had said they could not come with me; that I had to do this all alone. “Lay on the reclining chair, Aurora,” Misha commanded softly, her smile ever so warm as she pulled out a syringe.“W-what’s that for?” I gasped, my heart rate spiki

BLOOD BANK

BLOOD BANK.AURORA’S POINT OF VIEW.I gulped, the action tough, and straining on my throat muscles as she pranced about. She took off the white coat, revealing bony, thin arms with long, red gashes around them. Gashes, she keeps scratching angrily. “I was so close….so close. I would have had it all. I would have saved Tony….my little Tony. If not for you!” She glared at me again.“W-what did you really give me, Marloise?” I asked, fear, mixed with dread, crawling up my spine in low trickles. A sheen of sweat covered my skin, and the once cool room suddenly became raging hot.Marloise stopped her frantic pacing, her head cocked at an unnatural angle. The Misha mask was entirely gone, replaced by the twitching, skeletal remains of a woman driven mad by her own pseudo-science.“What did I give you?” she whispered, a crazed, haunted giggle escaping her throat. She clapped like a child, jumping up and down and about, the shreds of hair still and stiff like they had no life. She leaned down

INTUITION.

KAI’S POINT OF VIEW.“Kai, sit down. You keep pacing.”I turned to Everleigh. She was sitting on the edge of the royal blue armchair in the waiting room, her hands folded neatly in her lap with composure, but I could see the slight tremor in her fingers, the unease in her eyes, and the tremble of her lips. She was trying to be the hardened, elegant black widow everyone had dubbed her to be for me, trying to be the anchor for me while her daughter, my Aurora, was behind those soundproof doors."It’s been forty-five minutes, Everleigh," I growled, my voice sounding like gravel under a boot. I checked my watch again. The seconds felt like drops of lead moving much slower every time I looked. Not even waiting longer before I looked helped. "The block or release of her memories shouldn't take this long to break. I don't like the silence or the way this is being handled. I studied hypnosis and how to break it last night, Everleigh….it’s supposed to take at least ten minutes.""You truly do

EMERGENCY! THERE’S BEEN A BREACH!

KAI’S POINT OF VIEW.Everleigh stared at me, her eyes wide and full of horror. She slapped a palm to her mouth, visibly trembling as she stared at the door for a second before turning to me again, her voice shaken and terrified. She’d heard the tremor in my voice when I said the word ‘her’….she knew there was one person who brought that reaction out of me."Kai, what are you saying? Marloise is dead!" Everleigh’s voice went thin, a frantic edge cutting through her forced composure. She rushed toward me, her heels clicking like frantic heartbeats on the hardwood before she kicked them off without regard, her skin cold against my suddenly heated one.I could smell it…the stench of myself from years ago. The blood, the piss, the shit…Everything I had to suffer because Marloise wanted to save Tony, a stuffed teddy bear, from the very fire she threw him into right in front of me.She’s forced me to step into the flames to save the bear. I did, my seven-year-old self terrified, but not left

IS IT TOO LATE?

KAI’S POINT OF VIEW.I didn't wait for the receptionist to find her phone or call for help. Everyone panicked around me, as I did, but mine was internal. The memory of what I endured in that shed, of her laughter, of her shoes dipped in blood every time she stepped out….it haunted me all over again.My back muscles groaned with pain, but I knew there was no time to waste. I didn’t wait for the police to be informed, even though I heard the nurse and a bunch of janitors calling 911. The air in the hallway was already thickening with the invisible presence of the woman who had haunted my every waking breath since I’d been born."Everleigh, get back!" I yelled, but she was already a heap on the floor, gasping for air as the realization of her mistake, of our mistake, crushed her. It was our fault. We let her go in there….I should have trusted my intuition not to let her go, not to let her search for these memories. We had enough evidence to get Armando convicted with a life sentence with

ROME HAS FALLEN.

KAI’S POINT OF VIEW.Her body barely makes it to the floor before I’m on the one girl that has my soul in her grip. I fall to my knees, a pained, jagged sob tearing through my throat as I reach for her. “Aurora!” I cried out, shaking her vigorously. My heart remains in my throat, tears I haven’t shed since I thought she’d died years ago now flowing freely.“Please….my love, please wake up.” I was ready to do anything. As long as she would wake up, but no matter how hard or how long I shook her, she didn’t even stir. Her body remains lifeless in my arms, the peeks of the bite of the needle in different spots around both of her arms. I looked at the lifeless body of the caricature that was my mother, my first monster in life.And I felt a surge of rage, helplessness, and terror. Did she steal yet another thing from me? Life without Aurora…. I’ve gone down that lonely, bleak road; I never want to do it again. The silence in the room felt like a physical weight as I lifted Aurora’s limp b

A DYING MINUTE.

KAI'S POINT OF VIEWA few minutes later, she returns with a bright, hopeful smile. “He’s on his way with some help. Everything will be okay.”“Let’s get her to the hospital.” I took a step, holding the still unconscious Aurora in my arms, but before I could move, two things happened. A nurse stepped forward, his voice shaky and timid.“Y-you cannot leave...”“And who the hell is going to stop us?” Everleigh speaks before I could, probably because I was just about to tear through the bastard.“There was the sound of a gunshot, ma’am. Someone is clearly dead in there, and another person walks out, apparently fine, with another unconscious person in his arms. That can only mean one thing: he shot and killed the other person. The police are on their way….we will have to start an investigation so the murderer gets his punishment.”The second thing that happened was Everleigh screeched, her eyes wide with fear and panic. “Kai! Look at her arm.” I looked down immediately, my heart stopping a
