Aurora and the Heart of Magic

AURORA’S POVI drew in a long, deep breath before pushing open the glass door.“Miss Aurora, Please be seated. Dr. Dixon will join you in a moment.” The tall, lanky assistant muttered and walked out of the door leaving me all alone.My heart pounded against my ribs. I gripped the hand of the chair tightly as I studied my surroundings to keep myself distracted.The cabin was just like a gynecologist's cabin should be; jet white walls with charts of babies and fetuses at various stages. A particular image of a beautiful baby girl caught my eyes.I had always loved babies but after Leonard's betrayal, I had stayed away from any serious relationships.“Ah! Ms. Aurora… right on time I see. Your reports are here.” A sweet yet firm voice sounded in the room drawing my attention.I turned my head in the direction of the voice to find my charming and energetic doctor standing with a smile.

 AURORA’S POV Laying on the bed, I kept staring into the blank space. How did I get entangled in this mess?Tyson was an egoistic, cold-blooded killer. He didn’t even flinch when that cop was killed. I had a feeling that Tyson ordered people to be killed just like we order food in a restaurant.I massaged my head trying to wrap my head over the things that had happened. Michael just walked away as if in a trance.I had a feeling that he would text all my friends that I was in Texas. No one would come looking for me and I couldn’t call anyone. In short, I was completely screwed.The door creaked open drawing me out of my thoughts.“I have brought food for you,” Aslan said walking in.“I don’t want to eat anything…” I said lowering my eyes. He was crazy to think that I would feel like eating after today’s incident.He ignored my statement

AURORA’S POVI woke up to a strange buzzing sound. It took me a while to realize that it was the incessant chatter. They were discussing something.I felt so warm and cozy that I didn’t feel like opening my eyes. The panic and uneasiness I had felt over the past week dissipated. I drifted in and out of sleep catching only parts of the conversation going on.Warm and heavy breathing on my face startled me and I snapped open my eyes. I gasped as I met the most beautiful pair of eyes I had ever seen; grey with golden streaks.He lowered his head and bit my lower lip. The sharp sting brought me back to my senses. I pushed him away and raised myself only to realize that I was sitting on his lap.I felt a surge of blood flush my face and my ears burned. Flustered I tried to get up but he pulled me back, making me sit on his lap.I should have felt panic about finding myself alone with a stranger in a large desolate roo

AURORA’S POVI sat on the edge of the bed gripping it tightly. I tried hard to stem the flow of tears down my cheeks but in vain.Tyson’s words kept resounding in my ears. His was filled with so much hatred. If I was given a chance, I would choose Caleb over Tyson anytime.So what if he was the leader of the Mafia, he had been very kind to me.“Thinking about my brother, are you?” A sweet voice sounded near me causing me to jump.I raised my head to see an enchantress. Everything about her was perfection; deep, blue eyes juxtaposing her long golden locks, cherry red lips, and a perfect figure.Her face flushed slightly and she said, “Thank you for your high appraisal. Some people think that my beauty makes me a weak person.”“How did you know… can you read my mind?” I asked in an appalled voice.“I can’t read minds but I can sense moods. With ye

ASLAN’S POV I was walking close behind Tyson and Aurora when I was obstructed by an invisible barrier. Tyson turned around and smirked at me. The next moment the barrier was gone.“What was that?” I asked, catching up with him.“I had a very powerful witch cast a boundary spell around this palace. The boundary is linked to me. So, no one can enter or leave without my wish.”“Does that mean we all are your prisoners now?” I asked him incredulously.“Don’t waste your time on unnecessary details. We have a trial to conduct.” He said as he trotted ahead of us.I stole a sideward glance at Aurora. Her face was pale and her steps faltered slightly as she walked.I fell into step with Aurora and said, “Are you alright?”She let out a long, deep sigh and replied, “I don’t know, Aslan… but thanks for asking.”She had
