"You alright, Aury?" Uma said, looking into Aurelia's eyes with care. She'd always treated Aurelia like a little sister back on the Isle, and protected her.
Aurelia nodded, but couldn't deny the warm, salty tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Uma! Uma please stop!" Mal cried behind them. Harry approached Aurelia with a caring look on his face.
"Don't cry, little bunny" he said, tilting his head slightly to match the angle of hers, and putting a hand on her cheek, using his thumb to wipe away her tears. Her face tingled where his hand brushed against her skin. "It's alright-" his to e was soothing, unlike when she'd heard him talk before.

"Aurelia! Please, tell her to help me" Mal begged. Aurelia narrowed her eyes for a moment, then shook her head. Mal had never, ever been there for her. And it wasn't going to change, no matter how much she said it would.

"Help me Mal!" The argument was interrupted with a cry from the top of the tower.
"Yeah come help your little friend Mal!" Audrey cackled.
Mal's eyes turned a piercing green, a thick purple smoke surrounding her. As the smoke cleared, a magnificent purple dragon took to the air.

Mal.

"She doesn't stand a chance without the ember.." Uma panted, holding her shell necklace.
"Regain your might and ignite.. I'm right here girl I'm right here!"

Hesitantly, Aurelia took Uma's hand, her eyes turning fully white.
"Me too!" She said, loud and proud. When her powers took over, she didn't have to worry about her voice.
Uma glanced at her, shocked for a moment. Aurelia's feet were inches above the ground, floating. Her hair was flying in the wind behind her. She strained herself, knowingly using up all her power.
"We're stronger together ,Mal!" She shouted. The ember reignited in Mal's claw, and right at that moment, Aurelia fell limply to the floor.

Her eyes slowly batted open, to see people crowding round her bed. Jay, Harry, Uma, and Gil.
"Hey, you're awake! Are you okay ?" Jay exclaimed.
She simply nodded, her body weak and shaky. She motioned for water. Uma immediately filled a glass for her. She took small, slow sips.

"I didn't... I didn't know you had powers. You never had them when we were kids" Jay almost laughed, a wide smile on his face. She shrugged.

"You were really brave, little bunny" Harry smiled down at her. She smiled, then leaned over to Uma, and whispered something in her ear. Uma frowned for a moment, then nodded.
"She wants you three to leave"
Despite Jay's protests, they all left to see Audrey.

"I think my Harry has a bit of a thing for you, Aury" Uma giggled. Aurelia tilted her head and smiled a little, as if to say 'Really?'
"Yeah" she laughed. "I mean, have you seen the way he looks at you? He looks at you like you're his whole world." She smiled at the thought. Whilst growing up with him, she hadn't seen him as happy or enticed as he was with her.

Aurelia smiled, her cheeks blushing a light pink.
