Aurora's Twin

by Maleficent-darkgoodwitch2416

When Aurora is born, it turns out there are actually twins. The younger sister grows up with Max and when she learns of the By-Half Plan, vows to do whatever it takes to protect her sister, even if it means postponing a previously laid plan to reunite the family with the younger sister.

11. Aurora's Confusion

Aurora's POV

I smiled at my three aunts—Aunt Flora, Aunt Fauna, and Aunt Merryweather—they've raised me for as long as I can remember, but sometimes I still miss my twin sister, Selene—see I know my name is really Aurora, even though everyone calls me Briar Rose—and my parents. Of course, I am also a little jealous of her. I like her new name so much better than mine—Briar Rose and Maelynne are the lost princesses? If I'd had a choice I woulda named myself Maelynne too. Apparently, her "father" Jeb Batchelder let her name herself, and pick her own birthday and everything, but she chose to make her real birthday—which she knows thanks to me—the day she'd celebrate with her new family. The funny thing is, apparently she's living with her true love, which means she's safe from the curse, I think, I mean I hope.

I closed my eyes and soon saw my sister, standing and waiting for me.

"Lynnie," I grinned.

She glared at me and said, "Hello, Shortstack."

I glared at her and then hugged her. "I missed you," we said at the same time.

"Twin attack," my dream prince commented.

We laughed and soon Selene's true love arrived. They took off, flying around me and my dream prince and I smiled at the two of them. Selene smiled at me and my dream prince and we began walking and talking through the forest.

I didn't always see Selene and her true love—sometimes she would be somewhere else and then I'd see her the following night—I never seemed to remember to ask where she'd go when she and her true love weren't wandering through the forest with me and my dream prince.

For a week, Selene and her true love didn't show up.

When I finally saw her again, I threw my arms around her neck and asked, "What happened to you?"

"I've been on the run," she explained slowly. "I was in the hospital for a couple days—I got hurt really bad—three identical scars, running across my torso from my left shoulder to my right hip—really painful."

I flinched and said, "Sounds painful. But why do you disappear some of the time?"

"I dream not only of being reunited with you—but also with Mom and Dad," she murmured wistfully. I hugged her again and then our princes arrived and we parted, each going with our true love.
