Chapter 10: Dark Angel's Revenge
The next morning, I found Aurora wearing a vivid light black dress equipped with wearing three inch thick heels accompanying Mary in the living room as I ran down the stairs with Riff right behind me, looking very concerned at Aurora. She was staring at a letter that had an angel's seal on the back of it, while Mary was using the tarot cards to look at someone's predictable future.
"What does the letter say?" I asked as Riff was tying my shoes while I sat in my armchair.
She didn't answer. But just stared at me as if I was a brick wall she wanted to break.
"You look like you're going to a funeral," I heard her say at last as Riff worked on my disorganized hair.
"Well sis, I might as well go and visit someone's grave while I'm wearing all black right?" I questioned eyeing her.
"Are you going to visit Cassandra's grave?" She inquired as she inspected me, while Riff handed me my coat.
"Yes," I answered as I felt Mary's gaze on me. She stared as if she knew all along that even if hadn't told her, that Aurora was her sister. Now she was wearing a green dress with the shoes and headband. Plus she was looking at me in a very lethal manner, which was scaring me.
"Alright, so it seems we're all going then," she confirmed as Riff handed her silk coat, then everyone piled into the carriage, and Riff started to drive towards the cemetery.
The mood was quiet as I saw Aurora holding four red roses in her hands, as she laid them down on Cassandra's grave; I saw blood dripping onto the roses-dark red blood.
As Aurora stood up, I saw the blood flowing from her left wrist-she had slit it open with who knows what. Riff didn't react right away until she had covered her wrist with her right hand. That was when he ran to her side holding a wet cloth to her wrist as she stared at the flowing blood that accumulated.
"Are you alright Lady Aurora?" Riff asked as he applied steady pressure to her wrist.
"I'm fine Riff," she answered as I watched him help her into the carriage.
While he started to drive back to the mansion, I watched Aurora as she started to bandage up her wrist. It was a good thing that Mary was asleep or else she would have seen the look on my face when I sneaked a peek at Aurora. Jeez, I really have to get a hold of myself, but she is right that what I'm thinking is forbidden, but I just can't help how I feel. Great! Now she staring at me, and I can't help but look away. That made it turn into a silent ride until we finally reached the mansion.
I just had to follow her as she walked up to her bedroom, (couldn't resist). Luckily, she didn't close the door thought. Call me stupid, but I always wanted to know if she felt the same way that I did. Still, I can't believe that I love her. It just scares me when I think about it, so I still question myself now as I close her door. She just looks up to stare at me, and I notice that she was reading the letter that she was looking at earlier. Aurora then motioned for me to lie on her bed, and I couldn't help but cooperate.
"What's really wrong with you?" She asked as I pulled her closer to me as she just lay down next to me, and I couldn't help but think that she was getting involved in some-thing dangerous.
"It's nothing, so you don't have to worry about me," I answered reassuring her, but I think she saw through the lie.
"Yeah right, just say what you need to say Cain," she dared. But I didn't even dare answer her, for the fear that she would know how I really felt.
She then put the letter down on the table as she laid her head on my chest, and I swear that she smiled. I know that it's stupid to think that my own heart might give me away to my sister. Still, I'm scared to admit how I feel, even if she does love me, I don't know what to do.
"Aurora, I seriously don't know what you're talking about," I lied as I held her tighter until she looked at me straight in the eyes.
"Yes you do, and I know that you can't admit that you love me,' she whispered into my ear as I stared at her.
"You don't know how much," I teased as I started to trail kisses down her neck. And that was when I stopped myself, because as I admitted that, I felt my own dark angel's revenge taking hold of me as fast as she had taken my heart.
