Chapter 47 : The Vision's Revealtion

Auria stood infront of her bathroom mirror combing through her hair . It felt right looking at her reflection and seeing her usual long red curly hair rather than the short brown straight bob , even though the bob was easier to take care of . She winced as the comb got stuck in a knot pulling her head back leaving a prickle of pain .
It was currently nearing sunset , the three of them in the residency had a simple supper before she went up for a shower , she wore beige pink pajama shorts and a cream white loose tank top and white ankle socks .
Her eyes left her face and landed on her necklace it glowed as if it felt her eyes , she dropped her arms and looked down at it , gently caraising the jewel and basking in the warmth and comfort that flooded through her . The thin chain was made of gold with a few small clear crystals etched into it , the jewel itself was an orange and red ombre flame and in it's centre was a dark blue and purple ombre rain drop . She remembered admiring it's beauty the first time she saw it , when her guardian mom handed it to her . It felt like an eternity ago. The day she had one of those visions and saw her birth mother , looking as beautiful as ever with love in her eyes .
She inspected the necklace with a deeper curiosity , it became her most valuable possession since she got it , she always knew that it held power , so much power but she has never witnessed that power yet . It amplified her strength when she used her powers and brought her warmth and comfort but she knew that there was more it could do .

Something bright caught her eye , she looked to see the other necklace on the bathroom counter , she stared at it as she let her thoughts wonder. The two necklaces looked exactly the same if it wasn't for the colour . They were polar opposites yet related and connected to each other in a way she didn't understand. She reached her hands to it and her necklace emitted a dull glow , she paused her hand . The night her , Alyster and Kython formed the assassination plan she called her mother and told her about the necklace she found , she remembered asking her who it belonged to , why it looked so similar to hers and why Tyrens had it but her mother had dodged every single question and just told her to keep it safe and give it to know one , her tone was so grave that Auria didn't question further . She remembered shock in her mother's voice and the heaviness of the silence .
She unhinged her necklace and carefully placed it on the counter then felt her bare neck , it had gotten so used to the necklace . Her palms grew cold as she lifted the other necklace , she unhinged it and hinged it around her neck . Her blood seemed to run cold , a shiver ran down her spine and goosebumps sprouted on her skin , it glowed and waves of cold shot through her veins . She hugged herself to warm herself at the sudden drop of temperature , she lifted her eyes to her reflection and a gasp hitched in her throat seeing the veins in her head glowing light blue. It got more and more cold , she lifted her shaking hands to get the necklace of when everything started to fiercely shake and she struggled to keep her balance as she held her head in agony recognising these symptoms. A vision . Images flooded her head , giving unclear pixel dots . The images twirled around till they landed and she saw an above middle aged lady , she had ginger red hair with a few streaks of gray and hazel eyes , she wore a white boho dress and no shoes , around her neck was the necklace . Infront of her was a man who was inches taller than her and looked to be around her age , he had jet black with patches of grey from aging , styled in a leaf perm and dark brown eyes that almost looked black , he wore a white cream shirt , a black tail coat , black suit pants and white loafers . They were both in a white empty room and appeared to be screaming at each other though Auria heard nothing . The man seemed to be winning the fight as the woman's confidence started to fade and she backed away as he came closer with more aggression, he raised his hand as if he were about to hit her , fear crossed her face as she shielded herself with her hands . The man smiled psychotically and instead yanked her necklace of her neck and pushed her back , she fell to the clean white floor and touched her neck , tears glassed her eyes as she looked up at him with pain and hurt . The sound slowly came , Auria could just hear the subtle swooshing of waves and the man laughing maniacally as he lifted the necklace above his head and adored it.
