-One Year Later-

"Don't worry mom and dad I'll be back before you know it" Aura said giving her parents a hug before she went through security. They went through hell trying to get her gear and stick bag checked in but they got it in the end.

As she walked to security check, Aura looked back waving before she headed to her Hockey camp. She took out her electronics and placed them in the tray and put her bag in a separate tray and watched it roll down into the X-ray machine.

She didn't have enough time to look around the shops because she had to take a bus to her plane. So she got to the gate and she had just enough time to listen to a few songs on her playlist. She put it on shuffle play and Demi Lovato Stone Cold played.

She closed her eyes trying to shut out her emotions and what happened a year ago. Her jaw clenched in anger but she took deep breaths and she calmed down. She looked to see if her gate was being called. 10 minutes. She zoned out listening to the lyrics and a few songs went by and then people started to cue for the plane.

Aura sighed as she pushed out her awful memories. She joined the cue and waited patiently for her turn. Her senses went haywire from everyone crowding around to get to the plane. Nearly every emotion she could see from everyone. Her fists clenched until her knuckles were white. She hated this ability. She had tried her best to shut it out half way throughout her life. The colors began to fade away from their bodies and she calmed down.

"Boarding pass and passport please." Said the lady behind the desk. Aura nodded with a smile.
"Have a nice flight dear" she smiled back. Even a simple action can make someone's day a lot easier. Aura walked down the long corridor to the plane then showed her boarding to the air hostess. "It's to the very back dear and to the right" she spoke politely.

"Thank you" Aura smiled back and stuck her earphones back in letting herself drown out of reality. She found her seat and got the window seat. She stared out of the window until she felt the plane jerk slightly backwards. She sighed and watched as the plane taxied onto the runway. She was looking forward to this Hockey camp. She was there before so she was thrilled to see her some of her friends there. She fell into a peaceful sleep as the plane had lifted off the ground. But she had a deep gut feeling something might happen at the camp but she didn't know what it was so she brushed it off.

A two hour long flight didn't feel like two hours. She jolted awake as the plane landed on the runway. She took her earphones out and got herself prepared to go to baggage reclaim. After the doors opened the people started to hustle out of the plane.

Aura threw her backpack over her shoulder and headed out of the plane. After a few minutes getting by passport control she went to baggage reclaim and grabbed a trolly for her bags and stick bag. She waited patiently. Then the convilerbelt jolted to life as she heard bags being thrown onto it.

Her bag came out first and she always got strange stares from people when they saw a small girl taking a bag nearly her height off the belt. But she ignored it and headed straight to oversize baggage. She spotted her stick bag and walked over to it inspected to see if it had been tampered with. Phew it hasn't. She went back over to her bag and headed out to arrivals.

She looked around over the sea of people for her lift to the camp. That must be her. She thought as she spotted a woman started walking towards her.

"Aura Lunaria?" She asked looking at a piece of paper.
"Yes thats me" Aura smiled. She motioned for her to follow her and she did.
"There are a few more people who will be here soon is that ok?" The girl said with a hint of worry in her voice. Why is she worrying? Hmm...
"That's no problem" Aira nodded while she smiled warmly. The girl seemed to relaxed by this.
Was she thinking We were gonna freak over something so small?
"I'm sorry I didn't get your name." Aura spoke softly with a polite smile.
