The Sun And The Moon T•M•R

Chapter 72

It was 6.32 PM.

Aurora was sitting at the open bay window staring up at the navy night sky splashed with glittering Crystal's like sequins on a dark velvet dress.

She balanced a sketching pad on her left thigh and stomach trying to accurately map out the constellations above her, connecting the dots into little pictures.

As she gazed up into the dark void she almost felt a sense of comfort in the fact it was so blank, no dips or divots, no sharp edges. Just pure simple black that enloped her like a blanket.

But her brief peace was interrupted and she came crashing back into stark reality when she heard a soft knock at the door.

"Aurora?"

The soft delicate voice of Narcissa sounded. Aurora didnt reply as the door slowly pushed down and Narcissa peeked in her blonde head in the wide ice blue eyes of the young Malfoy heir stared at her as he was balanced in his mothers hip, his small hand clutched around the expensive looking string of sapphires around Narcissas neck.

Narcissa sent her a small nervous smile.

"Uh Tom's asked me to ask you to be ready for 7.30" she said.

Aurora didnt reply she simply stared at her watching her shift nervously under her gaze.

It baffled Aurora how someone so sweet, so kind hearted like Narcissa could hang off the arm of a man she knew was murdering innocent people in cold blood. Support such a heinous appalling act and not even bat a shimmery eyelid at it.

She used to be her friend she was so caring, so... pure of heart.

But Aurora guessed she never was, she was just blinded. 

Narcissa coughed uncomfortably snapping Aurora back to her gaze "fine" Aurora snapped throwing her sketch pad on the bed and standing up brushing down her pajamas, most days recently she couldnt even muster the energy to change.

Being pregnant and married to Tom Riddle was shit.

"Ora!"

Auroras head snapped up her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights as she her the squeaky voice of Draco yelp.

Narcissa looked at him in suprise "Ora!" He bubbled again pointing at Aurora.

She just looked at him in shock.

"uh yeah... he's getting good with words. Very bright for just being 8 months" Narcissa said sheepishly.

Aurora stared at her then at the small blonde boy chewing in his fingers. Narcissa smiled again bidding her good bye and shuffled out awkwardly.

Aurora stared at the door for a moment a feeling if absolutely bone crushing dread fuelling through her body like a virus. Regulus words echoed in her head,

" Eric will go along with Tom's plans, he'll already be in the room Leech is assassinated in so people dont think It was him. But...but instead of hitting Leech... we hit him"

"All you would have to do is distract him when Eric is aiming and get out of the way when he's ready to hit"

She didnt know if she had the strength to go through with the acts asked of her, to be able to commit to such a final outcome.

To kill Tom.

She shook the thoughts from her mind but was unable to rid herself of the gut twisting pang in her stomach.

she forced herself to move towards the wardrobe.
