"Wait, you're what?!"

She giggled at me and said, "I'm staying here!  Aren't you excited?"

"Excited?, No. Concerned? Yes."

"Listen Rose, I know we haven't always gotten along but-" I cut her off by motioning for her to come to with me to my room.

By walking up the stairs to my room, I noticed in the corner of my eye that Leo was watching us and decided that we needed this conversation needed to be private by closing the door.

I cleared my throat and asked, "So, what brings you here, Aura?"

She sat on my bed and said. "I just thought that it would be better to see my old friends, especially you."

"Uh, why?"

Does she not remember what happened?

"Well I just thought that..." she got up and walked closer to me. "I should be able to have the chance to reconnect with someone that I truly cared for." And by her coming closer to me, she moved in towards me and kissed my lips lightly.

I pushed her off of me and said, "Aura, what is wrong with you?! Have you.." I stopped in my tracks and looked at her with a confused look. And by scanning her appearance, I noticed something different about her. Which made me slap her face and as she felt her face, I grabbed her hands and ask her, "You're not Aura, are you?!" She didn't answer me so I grabbed her shoulders and shook her up.

"Who the hell are you?!"

She suddenly started to laugh and her eyes started to turn yellow, almost like a gold color. "I should've known you weren't that stupid, Rosalind." There was only one person that knew that I hated to be called by that name.

"Wait a minute, Aurora?!"

"In the flesh, I mean..spirit. How you been, girl?"

"I'm fine, but...what are you doing here?"

"You know me, I've always been a 'free spirit' . Thought I could come by and say hi to a familiar face."

"Okay but, how did you know I was here?"

"We heard through the grapevine that you were living the life down here and I figured I'd roll over to see what was so good about this place."

"'We'?"

"Me and my friends."

"There's more of you? How? Why ? When?"

Then I asked the one thing that I regretted to ask, "Where's Aura? I mean, your sister?"

She shrugged her shoulders and said in a nonchalant tone, "I don't know. Last time I saw her was at the Green House. Then I heard she's been traveling all over and so, I started looking for her. But then eventually, I got tired and gave up trying to find her again. It's hard to find someone that you can't read. But that's my sister for you. Then eventually, one of my friends told me about this place and you know the rest, I'm sure."

"The Green House, huh?"

"Yeah. But I'm probably going to have a bit of trouble finding her now."
