Our Love, Aurora

Sick

AURORA

Its been two days since the break in, and the boys haven't left me alone since, they explained to me the plan for next week.

They've got everything they need and now we just wait.

I never liked waiting much, it reminds me of the long shifts and the constant thinking of the beating that was awaiting for me at the house, this isnt much different than that is it?

"Princess are you okay?" Alex shakes me out of my little zone out session, I slap a smile on to my face nodding my head

"Yep!" I beam, anything so I don't mess up the headspace they've put themselves in so they're ready for the Dawning ball

Everything has to go perfectly, I can't mess anything up it could cost us our lives.

"You hungry?" He asks as Zane and Dimitri walk through the door, I look up at the time 11:00pm

"Nope, but I should probably start getting ready for bed" I say standing up and kissing Alex on his cheek before walking out the door

Im halfway up the stairs before a hand on my waist spooks me making me scream. I whip around only to find myself face to face with Zane, my hands drop from their position in front of my face and I let out a breath I didn't notice I was holding

Its just Zane.

I blink away the fear that consumed my body for that moment and look at Zane

"Baby its just me" he says moving closer up the stairs, I nod my head "I know, you just surprised me thats all" I say grabbing his hand and continuing my journey to Dimitri's room where all my stuff is

"Are you sure you're okay?" Zane says as I move towards the closet leaving him sitting on the bed, I grab a pair of white floral shorts and a light pink tank top

I walk across the room towards the bathroom but Zane stops me, "you've been off lately, baby tell me whats wrong" He tells me, a worried look covering his handsome face

Dawning ball Aurora.

"Im fine, no need to worry" I tell him, I place my hand on his cheek and kiss his lips, I pull back looking at him longingly

"Now now I need to shower, wait for me out here I don't want to be alone"  I say turning back towards the bathroom

. . .

My eyes are closed but I'm not sleeping, I cant. Im too busy thinking about the possibilities of the Dawning ball. I have a feeling something is going to go wrong I just can't pinpoint what it is

Zanes chest moves up and down, his hand stroking my hair. I know he knows Im awake

"Im scared Zane" I whisper, the room is dark pitch black as the lights are all off, his chest stops for a second before returning to usual

"I know baby, I know"  he says his voice breaking towards the end

My tears fall from the corner of my eyes involuntarily, and Zanes shirt soaks them up, God I feel like as time passes closer to the ball its feels more like a countdown to our deaths

And I feel like I'm responsible for the whole thing, why did I have to meet Zane at that stupid Diner

Why, did my dad have to hate me so much. I wish I never met them so none if us had to suffer like this, And it feels like I'm the only one thats worried, I feel like I'm the only one thats thinking all these horrible things that are possibilities

I'm tired, exhausted. I'm just a human girl worried.

. . .

1 week later

I open my eyes the sun shining directly on my face, 2 more weeks until the ball today, I try sitting up but it feels like my limbs are glued to the bed

"Rise and shine princ- Are you okay?" Alex says rushing over to me, they keep asking me that and ignoring the signs that I'm obviously not okay

I go to talk but my throat is super dry and my head is throbbing, Jesus christ, I can be sick now out of all times

"Stay right here princess I'm going to go get Zane"

. . .

ZANE

Alex rushes in through the kitchen doors and my brows furrow at the lack of Aurora

"Shes sick" he says and I stand up moving to her, sick? Thats weird considering she lives with 3 people who are immune to all sicknesses

I turn into Dimitris room and see Aurora, her cheeks are tinted red and her eyes are droopy

"Baby you okay?" I ask, for the millionth time, "I'm not feeling too good" she mumbles out closing her eyes and laying on her side

We don't have any medicine here. Shit

"Go order some medicine, whatever you can find with these symptoms" I snap at Alex, Dimitri is talking to some guards making sure they're all taken care of

I just don't understand how she could've gotten sick

And 2 weeks away from the ball at that, I don't know its weird, I just need to focus on Aurora and her needs right now.

We've all been so busy with the ball that we have barely spent any time with her lately

And it's affecting everyone

Now I need to find out whats making her sick
