AURORA

Marcus's Curse

The aftermath of the confrontation with Marcus left Aurora on edge. The damaged kitchen and the threat from the rogue student weighed heavily on her mind. As the day wore on, Aurora began to feel a strange, unshakable fatigue. By evening, she was pale and struggling to stay upright.

Kate noticed the change first. "Aurora, are you okay? You look like you're about to pass out."

Aurora tried to brush it off, but as she stood up, a wave of dizziness overwhelmed her, and she collapsed. Kate rushed to her side, panic seizing her. "Aurora! Aurora, wake up!"

She gently shook her, but Aurora remained unresponsive, her breathing shallow and labored. Kate quickly carried her to the bedroom, laying her down carefully.

Grabbing her phone, Kate called Yelena, her voice frantic. "Yelena, something's wrong with Aurora. She passed out, and she's not waking up. I don't know what to do."

Yelena's voice was steady, but the concern was clear. "I'm on my way back, my mission got cancelled anyways. In the meantime, call Wanda. She might know what to do."

Kate hesitated, knowing the tension between Wanda and Aurora, but she didn't have a choice. She dialed Wanda's number, hoping for an answer.

After several rings, Wanda's voice came through, sounding wary. "Kate? Why are you calling me?"

"It's Aurora," Kate said urgently. "She passed out, and she's really sick. I don't know what's wrong with her. Please, we need your help."

There was a brief pause before Wanda responded, her voice firm. "I'm on my way. Keep her stable until I get there."

Kate hung up, feeling a flicker of hope. She returned to Aurora's side, holding her hand and brushing hair from her face. "Hang in there, Aurora. Help is on the way."

As the minutes dragged on, Aurora's condition seemed to worsen. She was pale, and her skin felt clammy. Kate noticed a faint, dark energy flickering around Aurora's form, a sign that something supernatural was at play.

When Wanda arrived, her expression was a mix of worry when she saw the house but there was no time for this. She quickly assessed Aurora, her hands glowing with red magic as she scanned for any traces of dark magic.

"Marcus," Wanda muttered, her face hardening. "He's influencing her with his magic. That's why she's sick."

Kate's eyes widened. "Can you help her?"

Wanda nodded, her focus intense. "I'll do everything I can. But I need you to stay calm and be ready to help."

Wanda placed her hands over Aurora, her magic flowing into her in a steady stream. Aurora's body convulsed slightly, and Wanda's brow furrowed with concentration.

Meanwhile, Yelena arrived, her face a mask of concern. "What the hell..." She quickly moved to Aurora's side, looking to Wanda for guidance.

"What's happening?" Yelena asked, her voice tight.

"Marcus has cursed her," Wanda explained, not taking her eyes off Aurora. "I'm trying to break the spell."

In Aurora's mind
Memories of Natasha and her getting hurt all over the place, black energy surrounding them.

For what felt like hours, Wanda worked tirelessly, her magic battling the dark energy that clung to Aurora. Kate and Yelena watched anxiously, ready to assist if needed.

Aurora started having a seizure. Kate quickly tried to steady her.

Finally, Wanda let out a breath, the red glow fading. Aurora's body relaxed, her breathing becoming steadier.

"I think I neutralized the curse," Wanda said, her voice weary. "But she needs rest. The dark magic took a toll on her."

Kate nodded, relief flooding through her. "Thank you, Wanda."

Wanda met Kate's eyes, her expression softening " We need to work together to keep Aurora safe."

Kate squeezed Wanda's hand. "Agreed. Let's make sure this doesn't happen again."

Yelena joined them, her face resolute. "So...what the hell happened to the house..."Yelena said looking at the big hole in Aurora's kitchen. They just looked at each other.
