Chapter 36
"Sea of Time"
The next morning Deanna shuddered with the pain of her body. With a knock at the door Aurora enters her room.
"Are you alright Miss?"
"Um yeah I just had a really bad night. Perhaps you should go back to your room and play I don't think your father wants you to be here."
"I am sick of listening to my father I have never been able to do what I want."
"Won't you get into trouble?"
"If I do then I do he has never hurt anyone before. Besides I need to get to know my new mother."
"I can't be your mother Aurora. I am already a mother to my own daughter. She needs me doesn't Logan take care of you?"
"I don't like Logan he acts all nice when my father is around but when he isn't he is mean."
"Has he ever hurt you?"
"No but he threatened and that's worse."
"Why don't you tell your father about him? He thinks Logan is a saint."
"I am female what we say does not matter. It has always been like that and so it will remains."
"What happened to the other women who married your father?"
"We don't know.."
"Are you sure you're alright Aurora?"
"Yes, but are you?"
Deanna covers the bruise on her cheek with her hand apparently makeup won't cover it up.
"You can't hide that bruise forever miss, my father has never hurt another female was it Logan?"
"I don't think you should talk about your father's assistant like that. I just bumped into the vanity this morning getting out of bed."
"Your lying."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are I am a empath."
"You're empathic?"
"I was born with my skills I am the only one who is."
"So that is why I couldn't sense your thoughts and feelings?"
"I have trained myself. I don't want my father to know nor do I want Logan to know. He is a bad person miss I know he did something to you last night."
Deanna let tears fall for the first time in a long time. Aurora comes to Deanna's arms and gives her a hug. Deanna nods as the scene ends.
