'Aurora' was on all there minds s they raced up the stairs, only to be greeted by a frightening sight. Aurora's body was shaking violently on the bed. She looked as if she could have been possessed. Jack, Blink, and a few other newsies crept forward, and jack leaned over the bed. As soon as he had done so, Aurora's eyes flashed open and she suddenly had a hold of his collar. Aurora's normally ice blue eyes were a clouded grey, her complexion pale, her face solemn, and her grip was lethally strong. Something one wouldn't have ever expected from her.
"Jack Kelly" she said in a strong monotone voice, clearly not her own,
"Silence now and listen to me,
these words do not rebel.
Never run, never hide
And in life, you'll be not denied."
She held his collar for a few more seconds before collapsing onto the bed. After the initial wave of shock, Jack began to call Aurora's name and shake her gently. Her body remained limp but that look of peace had returned to her face. Jack pressed his ear to her chest and could hear her heart beating.
"She's alive" he said, almost to himself. He gathered up her body and flung it over his shoulder. He told the rest of the boys not to wait up for him and then he was gone.
Jack took Aurora to the hospital. As she lay on the examining table, the doctor said she looked like she was in a coma. But as he put his stethoscope up to her chest, she jolted awake, screamed, and tried to push the doctor away. She was about to walk out the door when two nurses appeared. One grabbed her arm and the other plunged a needle into her arm. Aurora let out a scream. The drug was already at work and she was drowsy. As she slumped to the floor her eyes rested on Jack.
"Why did you bring me here Jack Kelly? Why?" and her eyes closed.
"That doesn't happen too often." The doctor said looking at Jack. He picked up Aurora and put her back on the table. He gave her a quick examination. He told Jack,
"There is nothing wrong with her physically, but if you feel its necessary, I can prescribe some hallucination pills?"
"No dats a'right, doc"
"Very well then. Would you like her to spend the night? She can go home when she awakes in the morning. I just want to make sure the drug didn't have an effect on her."
Jack agreed because it was late and he felt it would be easier if he left her here for the night. But, as he walked down the dark streets, he couldn't help but feel that he shouldn't have left her there alone.
