Ive been getting nightmares all week.

All of my mother. It starts all sweet and innocent memories of us, then reminds me that i killed her.

How could i do that? Im such an awful person i killed my own mother.

Im scared to fall asleep. I havent told anyone what happens in the nightmares but most the time aaron just wakes up to me freaking out.

I dont want him to worry himself and stress over whats happening because its not a big deal its just nightmares.

We are both getting ready for bed right now, ive showered and brushed my teeth.

My hair is dry since i used my powers, i was debating doing heatless curls but i remembered i cant fall asleep and i would just be uncomfortable.

I tried to take extra time getting into bed but aaron called me and i didnt want him to get suspicious.

Hes got enough going on and has been worrying for the past few months because of me.

He deserves to relax now.

I climb into bed next to him. He usually waits for me too fall asleep so i pretend to be sleeping for a while.

Eventually a lot of time has passed, i decided to count the seconds. Its been around an hour he's definitely asleep now.

I slowly get up trying not to wake him.

I walk to the bathroom and sit on the floor.

FLASHBACK

"What colours do you want honey?" Mum asks.

"Pink and purple!!" I giggle.

We are making bracelets at the table, she told me she likes all the colours so i am making hers rainbow.

I slide the beads down the white string and then look for the letters m,u and another m.

Once i find them i add them too the bracelet. I dont know how to tie it yet.

"Should we make one for lena?" I ask, lenas favourite colour is green.

Mum shakes her head, "lena might not like it." She says.

"B-but we can make her a green one—"

"Baby, your sister doesnt show that she appreciates things very well. She might really like it but she wont want to show that and i dont want her to be mean and hurt your feelings. I love the bracelets." She says offering me a small smile.

I nod and smile back.

"Please can you tie it for me?" I ask and mum nods.

I hand her the bracelet.

"Oh aurora this is so beautiful thank you honey." Mum says.

She ties the bracelet and puts it on before tying mine giving it to me.

"It is so pretty!!" I squeal pulling it onto my wrist.

It has pink and purple heart shaped beads and it says aurora on it.

My mum smiles and takes my picture wearing the bracelet.

END OF FLASHBACK

The memory of her death flickers in my mind again.

Once all of the memories are done i feel tears line in my eyes.

I look down and see the pink and purple bracelet on my wrist.

AARON WARNERS POV

I hear a loud scream and immediately get up.

Aurora is not in bed, i look to the bathroom and see its light on and the door wide open.

I rush in and see her looking like shes seen a ghost.

"Love? What happened? Are you okay?" I ask kneeling down in front of her.

She starts scrapping at her wrist and shaking it.

"Aurora—?" I say grabbing her wrist.

Its bleeding.

"Get it off— please please get it off please i dont want it." She screamed.

"Sweetheart theres nothing there." I say, she squeezes her eyes shut and then opens them again.

"What happened love?" I ask look at her worried.

"I— b-bracelet—" She chokes out bursting into tears.

I put a plaster over the scratch on her arm and pull her into a tight hug.

"Shhh, ive got you its okay." I whisper while stroking her hair.

Once aurora fully calmed down i picked her up and carried her back to bed.

"Whats wrong, love?" I ask pulling her into my lap.

"I keep getting memories of my mother, before everything was bad— when i was little th-things like us making bracelets and getting ice cream.. a-and then after it— it shows when i-i- i killed
her—" She chokes out through more tears.

"Im s-so awful— i k-killed my own mother.." She sobs.

"Shh, sweetheart your mother did awful things to you. She wanted to transfer you and emmaline. She literally tried to turn you into a fish that controls fire, air, water and earth. You had every right to do what you did. Its okay." I whisper into her ear, rubbing her back gently.

Eventually she falls asleep in my lap and i let her stay there eventually sleeping as well.

AURORA MISHKIN POV

I slowly drift off to sleep while aaron rubs circles onto my back, it always helps me sleep.

I feel a weird memory coming back and get a bit scared but i cant fight it.

FLASHBACK

Im expecting to be younger me again, but this time im completely conscious. Im looking down on my mothers memories.

"We need a new body for the transfer, ella has gotten herself killed." Evie says.

"What about aurora? Shes got those element powers and she ran away from the wedding. It would show her that she doesn't just get to do what she wants." My mother says.

"You know what that means right? She would go in that tank and you wont ever get her back. She would be completely gone." Evie says raising a brow.

My mother shrugs and laughs, "her and emmaline are cousins anyway, might as well be her."

Evie laughs too.

END OF FLASHBACK

I slowly sit up, being blinded by beams of golden daylight.

Me and emmaline are cousins!?

I squash that thought down and remember my mother, what she was saying about me.

The memory of ne killing her flickers back into my mind.

I feel no remorse, i killed that bitch with no mercy.

And im more proud of myself then ever.
