A's/N: Chapter 3! Yay! Enjoy!

We made our way to his home, taking our sweet time to catch up on each others lives, though I did miss out the part where I was an Auroramis, that could wait, and when we get there I'll tell him about me being a half-fang, but he could probably already sense I'm not human.

Once we got there we braced ourselves for what the Count would say about be staying at his home, he never really did like me, because I was a breather.

He opened the door and I observed my surroundings, it did somewhat remind me of the castle, a bit modernised though, and all of a sudden it started to get noisy with the voices and thoughts of his family grew louder and louder. It then hit me that I couldn't read Vlad's mind, same with his Aura, there was no colour coming from him and I couldn't hear the shouting of his thoughts.

I raised my eyebrows at this and put my hand to my head, this was strange, very strange, I haven't experienced any form of silence since I was 14, ever since I turned 15 my mind has been filled with other people's thoughts and feelings, I remember when I first acknowledge my powers;;

_Flashback

It's been a year and a bit since Vlad has gone, and I finally understood how much I needed him, I took our friendship for granted which was such a stupid thing to do.

I got up from the bed and stretched my arms, I've been staying with Robin and his family for a while, Elizabeth thought it would be a good idea.
Suddenly I heard shouting coming from every direction in the house, it was getting louder and louder, it hit my ears like a slap and I quickly covered my ears and pulled the bed covers over me again.

As I pulled my knees to my chest and put my head under the pillow the noise wasn't decreasing.

"Stop! Stop shouting at me! Stop it!" I screamed and I started shaking vigorously.

I let out a cry and felt someone pull me into their arms.

"What's wrong with her?" I heard Ian ask.

"Quickly Robin put her on the couch," Elizabeth said, her voice shaking a little.

The noise had quietened down a bit, enough so that I was able to regain myself and I slowly uncovered my ears, my eyes still closed.

"Aura? It's me, open your eyes," Robin said, softly.

I nodded my head and gradually opened my eyes, once they were fully opened they widened and I started to cry again.

There were colours- everywhere, different ones beaming out the family in front of me, Robin was mostly a blue, Elizabeth was primrose, and Chloe was claret and the twins and Graham were a lightish, darkish red.

I titled my head and put a frown on my face.

"Robin? Why are you all blue?"

"What do you mean?" he asked me, confused.

"It's all around you, especially your head, same with everyone else."

After it had come out of my mouth I knew it was a stupid thing to say, as the noises got louder again and they all looked at me as if I was crazy.

"We're taking her to the hospital, right now," Graham announced.

I shook my head and held onto Robin.

Of course, I didn't have a choice so they took me to the hospital and did the usual, brain scans, X rays and psych evaluation; Elizabeth even got me to go into therapy, even though I knew I didn't need, neither did Robin. I knew I would've got loopy if he wasn't there with me.

I managed to tell him about the 'noises' and colours coming off everyone, all he said was how cool it was and that he promised he wouldn't tell anyone.

Then I met her, but I suppose if I hadn't of met her then I wouldn't know what I know today.

_Flashback

I was at the hospital, reading a book with Robin next to me, his colour was mostly blue all the time, and I managed to block off his noises with reading books.

"Flora? There is someone here to see you," a nurse told me.

I nodded and sat up properly.

A middle aged woman walked in, wearing a white dress that went down to her knees, her hair was as long as mine and on it was a headpiece, made from real flowers, the weirdest thing about her was that she wasn't wearing any shoes, and she looked oddly angel like.

"Hello Flora, I'm Priscilla and I'm going to be your helper from now on," she said, smiling kindly, her voice sounded like a song, and I already felt like I could trust her.

Robin told me he had to go, he hugged me, nodded at Priscilla and left.

Priscilla moved to seat where Robin just was and held my hand.

"I know you must be wondering why I'm here and who sent me, and no, Elizabeth did not send me here, I came of my own accord. You will have the answers to everything soon enough."

I widened my eyes and raised my eye brows.

"Tell me, you are 14? And soon to be 15, yes?"

"I'm going to be 15 in a week."

"Explain to me how you hear these 'voices.'"

"I hear them everywhere, from everyone, sometimes they're shouting in my ears, and sometimes whispering, I hate it! I want it to stop! It's giving me a headache!" I kicked the bed again, and again, and again, till I couldn't feel my legs.

But she didn't stop me, she let me take my anger out, which I liked about her, if one of the councillors were with me then they'd stick a needle in me and make me sleep.

"And the colours?" she asked me once my tantrum was over.

"They radiate off of everyone's body, mostly their head, they're all different, and right now your have indigo and royal blue...Is this normal?"

"No. It's not."

"Does that mean I'm crazy?" I whispered, hoping my voice didn't fail me.

"It means you're special, you have a gift, and you're an Auroramis, Flora."

_End Of Flashback

So she explained what an Auroramis was, and that the voices I could hear were the thoughts of the people around me, and the colours were their Aura's. Obviously, she was one too, a very, very skilled Auroramis.

When I turned 15, she taught me everything, how to block out thoughts, or at least quieten them down so I don't go crazy, (she's told me many have gone insane), how to trap mine, so other people like me can't read it, she made me memories the Aura's colours and meanings.

She told me about finding your mate, and that I wouldn't be able to feed properly till I found him, she taught me telepathy, how to control my powers and not use them foolishly- especially the mind reading, sometimes it was useful, sometimes I used them to tease Robin, but on the whole I shut everyone out as much as I could, I didn't think they'd want me to be listening in on their thoughts.

By the time I was 16 I knew how to control everything and learnt to live with what I was.

But I liked the way Vlad made me feel, he made me feel...normal, like a real teenager, not one that could read minds or see random colours. It was just plain silence with him.

I stood up straight again and followed Vlad into what looked like the throne/dining room.

"Ah, Vladdy, you're back, and who is this?" The Count said from his throne, reading an edition of the vampire times.

I looked at him and smirked, he hadn't changed that much, his hair was longer and he was still so skinny. His aura was a bloody red, probably meaning he was hungry.

"Dad, this is Flora, remember her?" Vlad asked uncertainly.

"Flora...Yes that does ring a bell, why is she still here?" he said ever so casually.

"Your son has asked me to stay here, as I have no where else to go," I piped in.

They both argued for a bit, and I think Vlad won in the end but I wasn't listening.

"Sorry about that," Vlad laughed sheepishly.

"It's okay; he's still the same old Count from Stokley," I smiled.

We then went in to see Ingrid, and Vlad was right, she was very sick. Her skin had turned a deathly grey and she was puking ash all over the place. Her Aura was a murky grey, which I don't think was a good thing. I was still angry at her though, I don't know why, but I was. I sat on the sofa opposite her and shot her daggers. Vlad could probably sense the tension so he left us for his room.

"Have you told him yet?" Ingrid wheezed out.

"No," I said without any expression.

"Will you?"

"Yes, but...I don't know how, I don't know what he'll think or do," I confessed.

"Well, you will know what he's thinking right?" She tried to laugh but it ended up with a coughing fit.

No Ingrid, I won't know what he's thinking. I need to tell Priscilla about this.

After about 15 minutes I went to find Vlad, he was training with his tutor and they looked like they were in the middle of something so I sat down on the side till they finished.

"Concentrate Vlad, think about what could happen if you open it," his tutor told him. He looked up and saw me. "And you are?"

"Flora Angelberg, nice to meet you, Bertrand," I titled my head and smiled, but it wasn't out of kindness. From his Aura (which was red, from getting annoyed at Vlad) and the way he thought about me being there, I did not like him. He looked a bit surprised when I knew his name.

They did some more training, and throughout the whole of it I was listening to Bertrand's thoughts, yes I know it's so terrible of me but I was bored and they were interesting.

"Alright, we're done for the day, we'll do some combat training tomorrow, and maybe some telepathy," Bertrand said.

Just as I got up I heard Bertrand hiss and his Aura went to a fiery red.

"Whoa, what's up with you Bertrand?" Vlad asked him.

"I sense a pulse!" he hissed again.

"Oh, yeah, that would be me," I pulled at my sleeves and stood by Vlad.

"Breather!" his fangs extended.

"Oh no, I'm not human, at all," I smiled in a mocking way at him and changed my eye colour to a golden shade.

Did I forget to mention? We're able to change our eye colour at any point; it's probably my favourite thing about being an Auroramis. Though I changed them to a golden colour because that's the colour of our race.

Bertrand's thoughts screamed at me 'Auroramis!'

"Wait, you're not human?" Vlad asked, obviously puzzled.

"No, I'll explain later," I assured him.

He nodded and realised Bertrand had gone. I knew where he went, to inform the Count.

I rolled my eyes at him and followed Vlad to where I would be sleeping.
