Prolong
It was a cheerful day down in Slugterra. The slugs were chirping happily knowing something great was going to happen.
A scream emitted from room 143, the blonde hair woman gave one last push. Her name was Rachel Sting, who just gave birth to her first child. She heard the cry of the child and relieved it was still alive. The nurse walked around with the child in a pink blanket.
"Congratulations Mrs. Sting." remarked the Nurse handing the child over to her mother.
Rachel's husband, Travis, dashed into the room once he heard the news of his daughter's birth.
"What should we name her dear?" inquired Travis wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
Rachel looked out the window, saw the aurora lights, and mumbled, "Aurora."
"Aurora?" inquired Travis curiously looking out the window himself not seeing a thing.
"Yes Aurora Maria Sting." insisted Rachel looking at her husband.
Aurora opened her eyes and looked up at her mother. Rachel looked down at Aurora and smiled knowing she was special.
9 years later…
Aurora lied on her bed moaning from her high fever. She tried being as still as possible to keep the rag with dark water in it.
"She isn't looking any better Travis and we did all the doctor said to do." insisted Rachel taking the rag off her daughter's face.
Aurora turned away and began petting Leila on the head. She looked outside her bedroom window wishing to be out there.
"Can I come in and see her mother?" inquired Trixie peeking her head around the door frame.
"Yes you can dear." replied Rachel.
Trixie came in as fast as she could on her four-year-old legs. She crawled up onto her sister's bed and stared down at her. Aurora smirked at her sister and had enough energy to tickle her a little.
"Stop it. Stop it Aurora." giggled Trixie.
"Never." exclaimed Aurora continuing her tickle attack before stopping with a coughing fit.
"You better get some rest dear if you want to fight this." insisted Rachel taking Trixie off the bed.
"Alright mother and Leila you get some rest as well." remarked Aurora covering up.
Two hours later…
Aurora woke up with a dry throat and tried calling out for her mother. Without second thoughts she grabbed the dark water off the table. She gulped down the last fourth of the water and wiped her mouth clean. Then she remembered that her mother would become suspect something about how the dark water disappeared so she snuck out of her room to the kitchen. Aurora made sure no one was around and filled the cup a fourth of the way up.
Once she crawled back into bed and covered back up when her mother walked into the room. Rachel place a hand on her forehead to discover the fever disappeared.
"Can I get up now mother?" inquired Aurora sitting up a bit.
"Yes you may." replied Rachel patting her daughter's head.
Aurora jumped out of bed, changed her clothing, and scampered to her father's office not knowing he had a guest.
"Are you nuts Morris you are willing to risk your life for a man like him." retorted Travis no hearing the door.
"Blakk isn't a man to be messed with." remarked Morris before turning to Aurora.
"Aurora darling what are you doing here?" insisted Travis kneeling down and saw her eyes.
"I thought I come tell you that I'm feeling better." informed Aurora.
"Aurora your eyes changed." remarked Travis standing up seeing the purple.
"What?" remarked Aurora blinking changing them back to brown.
"A girl like that could be useful." remarked Morris leaving the room.
Meanwhile…..
Rachel was returning the dark water when the Shadow Clan Leader appeared in front of her.
"What is it? I have to get rid of this." insisted Rachel gesturing to the dark water.
"I know but your daughter has drunk some dark water." informed the Leader.
"Will she be okay?" inquired Rachel checking the surroundings.
"She will but we will need to take her in and train her to control her powers." insisted the Leader.
"What do you mean train her?" inquired Rachel.
"Aurora is the youngest Shaodwling and if we don't take her in she could possible die." informed the Shadow Clan Leader.
Rachel nodded knowing Aurora was in deep trouble if she didn't go with them.
