Aurore's Moemon Adventure
Chapter 83
It had been about a month since Aurore had first entered the past. He and Sarah had grown close, and he felt as though she was the same as Sora. He was currently helping her with basic homework, something Sephiria had told her to do.
"Hey, Sarah, are you okay?" Aurore asked, worriedly. "You always accompany Sephiria each night, and don't return until the morning."
"It's nothing." Sarah said, smiling weakly, turning to him. "It's just training for becoming helpful to the Young Master! Someday, I'm going to be his partner!"
"Sarah, it's time for your evaluation." Sephiria said, walking into her room.
"Oh, yes." Sarah said, nodding.
"Kallin, please return to your room." Sephiria said, turning to Aurore. "We shall request your help later."
Sephiria took Sarah's hand, and led her down the hall to a large black door that the two entered.
The next morning, Aurore returned to Sarah's room to see her, Sarah smiling cheerfully though her skin was slightly more pale.
"Kallin, guess what!" Sarah said, smiling. "I've made it! Next week, I'll undergo the final step to becoming the Young Master's perfect partner!"
"I see." Aurore said, nodding, rubbing his stubbly chin. "Well, good luck then."
Sarah nodded, and headed off to do her usual chores.
The next week went by in a flash, Sarah excited about the prospect of getting to spend the rest of her life with her beloved Young Master. And then, the day finally arrived.
"Be brave." Aurore said, patting Sarah on the shoulder.
"I will be." Sarah said, nodding, Sephiria leading her into the same room she had always entered, through the same black door.
That next morning, Aurore walked over to Sarah's room, and knocked on the door.
"Come in…" A weak voice cried out softly. Aurore was slightly alarmed, but entered the room anyways.
"Kallin…" Sarah said, looking up at him from the bed. Her face was flushed a bright red, and she looked very sick.
"What's the matter, Sarah?" Aurore asked, worried.
"It's… It's nothing…" Sarah said, smiling. "Did you hear? They're going to introduce me to the Young Master, today… I can't wait…"
Sarah coughed roughly, holding her hand over her mouth.
"Don't worry about that, you just need to rest…" Aurore said, kneeling next to Sarah.
"I hope that he'll like me…" Sarah said, coughing. "Kallin… Do you think he'll like me?"
"Oh, of course he will." Aurore said, holding her pale hand. "How could he not like you? Trust me, he'll think you're the most wonderful person he's ever met."
"That's good…" Sarah said, smiling. "I can't believe that I'm worried about how I look right now… It hurts a little, but I'll be fine…"
Sarah's coughing grew stronger, and she sat up, coughing in pain.
"Sarah!" Aurore said, patting her back. "Don't worry…"
"No, Kallin, you don't…" Sarah shouted, her exclamation interrupted by coughing. "You don't understand, I…"
Sarah continued coughing, holding her hand over her mouth as a bit of blood trickled out.
"Oh god…" Sarah moaned in pain. "It hurts… I'm so sorry, it hurts! The fire, the pain, it's too much…"
"Don't worry, Sarah." Kallin said, holding her hand with one hand, placing his hand comfortingly on her back with the other.
"Why… Why does it hurt so much?" Sarah cried. "I love him, the Young Master… I don't want to leave, I want to stay… Please, let me stay, I love it here… I don't want to leave, please don't make me leave…"
"What's happening to you?" Aurore asked, finally realizing something was truly wrong. "Sarah, please, tell me…"
"It's eating away at me…" Sarah cried. "It's gnawing in my brain, I can't stand it… Please, Kallin, tell me why this is happening… Please!"
"Listen, Sarah, don't worry, I'll get help, I'll…" Aurore said, standing up to go get help, but Sarah held his hand tightly.
"No, don't go…" Sarah said, coughing. "Please, stay with me, tell me what's happening…"
"I don't know…" Aurore said, his eyes beginning to moisten. He pulled Sarah into a hug, and just held her there for a long time.
"I can't wait…" Sarah said, smiling. "Everyone says that I'll be perfect for him… That's he's going to love me… Kallin, I can't wait… He's going to love me, and we're going to be happy…"
"I know you are…" Aurore said, nodding, holding her tighter as tears began to fall from his face.
"Yes…" Sarah said, nodding. "We'll be so happy together…"
Suddenly, Sarah pushed Aurore off of her, and shook for a second. Her body began shaking, and she grew from an eight year old to a young girl in her early teens, though rather short. Her clothes transformed into a black shirt and black shorts. Her shirt had a furry black collar, and a furry black tail emerged from her back. Her black hair grew slightly longer and the tips reddened, as did the tip of her tail, her eyes turning a sea blue as two fox ears grew from her head.
Sarah sat up and looked around, confused.
"Sora?" Aurore asked, staring at the moemon he had known for so long, having grown from the young girl he had met.
"Sora…" The moemon said, looking around, laying eyes on Aurore. "Is that my name? Sora… I like it…"
"Do you… Remember anything?" Aurore asked, walking over to Sora hesitatingly.
"Yes, I must find the Young Master!" Sora said, smiling cheerfully. "I need to find him so that I can better help him, right?"
Sora walked out of the room as cheerful as could be, Aurore looking after her as she left the room. Aurore sat down on the bed, laying back, and pictured all the times he had spent over the course of the month getting to know Sarah, only to see what was left of her soul shatter away into nothingness and replace by the person he loved most.
Lauren: …Cheery. I'm going to go shoot myself.
EoS: Come on, it wasn't that bad.
Lauren: …But I'm going to shoot you first.
