I ducked into a class room as fast as I humanly could. Day and Lou sat right next to me and I buried my face in a book. No way was I go going to let either of them look at me. Of course, every guy that could crowded around Day's desk. She whistled and made little remarks here and there to their beckoning.

I felt sick just looking at them. I turned my head to see blue daggers looking at me. I could feel myself turning red looking at Lou, but it was more out of fear to continue a conversation.

"I've heard your voice all of once and I wish to hear more" Lou said. "I'm not much of a smooth talker," I responded.

"Ahh there it is."

"Yes I suppose, tell me about yourself and Day since it seems she won't have the time." I gestured to the guys said had clawing at her desk for attention.

"Ahh, well I was adopted, Day isn't my blood sister."
"That explains the look difference."

"Yes, I've always found myself more attractive compared to her anyway."
I laughed, he was funny. He had a look of longing in his eyes that made me turn away. I was no one's object of affection and it was better this way.

"Tell me about yourself, Aurora," Lou said.

"Well, my parents are scientists, who named me after, you guessed it, the Aurora itself. I've seen them once in my life," I said.

"Tell me more," he implored.

"My favorite color is purple, I have a pet fish, and my parents vanished in a blizzard, and technically I belong to the state," I said.

Why did I say the last part? That wasn't supposed to be mentioned…

He smiled that devilish smile and flashed his teeth like a wolf with prey. "Words don't seem to be as tricky for you as I anticipated."

The bell rang and class began. By the end of the day I was convinced there was something wrong with me.

I was walking home in the dark alone, lollipop in mouth and headphones in ear. I was walking faster, my routine already messed up and a sneaking suspicion convinced me it was ok.

I felt the concrete smack my face and scales on my legs. I rolled to my side and groaned only to find a giant snake coiling around me.

"Don't fear precious, it will all be over soon." I tried to scream but my mouth was dry and empty.

"I haven't even lived yet," I murmured.

"Oh precious you were never made to live long" the snake hissed.

I closed my eyes. This wasn't a dream.

I'm dead.

"Over my dead body!" Day screamed. Rushing over with a hammer in head, I could hear the static of her movement, then suddenly, I didn't feel bond by the snake. I heard a screech.

"Now!" day shouted. Daggers appeared out of thin air and pinned the snake to the ground, with one gently hovering above its head.

"The gate will be closed one day" the snake hissed. I couldn't bring myself to watch as a dagger tour through the skull.

Lou stepped out of the shadows, and towards me. I felt like the air was being sucked out of my lungs. He stopped and through his coat over me. He pulled me in tight.

"I couldn't lose my fiancée to a snake" he whispered under his breath. "Or my best friend!" Day pitched in.

"What?" I said shoving those two away.

"Oh right! You see I'm Thor and this is Loki!" Day chirped. "Silly mortals saying I'm a man, but you did name a day of the week after me."

I was terrified because I didn't want to believe them, but nothing else was going to make sense.
"Is she broken Loki?" Thor asked. She bounced over showing off her body once more.

"It's a lot of soak in, we know, but you have to believe us because you're Sigyn, my love," Loki gently said. I shook my head. It all made sense. The stories my parents had told me. Out of my pockets I took a note from my parents.

"Maybe this will never make since to you. The gates have opened Aurora, and on that day, you were born. Born into this world but why not another? I'll tell you why, your signature look deep into that deep Aurora. And when the time comes you may even understand yourself. Perhaps the cold will make it clear. Keep this forever Aurora, until the moment you know

-Love

Mommy"

I looked up at both of them. Tears were running down my face. Norse gods and goddesses, the very things my parents studied. And they knew, they always knew what my "signature" was.

"You know what they say," Loki began "curiosity killed the cat."
