Chapter 13: The Choice is Obvious
(Just decided to add a small nod to the Crimson Gardevoir and the Vermillion Gallade for fun. Nothing major, only by appearance with a new character.)
{Rui's Point of View}
- The Next Day -
I still couldn't believe it. Aura is Angel and she never told me. She never told me... but I told her about being a part of Venge. In a way, that's really fucked up. Shortly after seeing her, I contacted Cray to talk to him. Once I said it is an emergency he ran over to my location. I told him, "Aura is Angel." He looked at me like I'm crazy, "Aura? What are you talking about? I'm starting to think you're too in love with her." I shook my head no, "Cray, it makes perfect sense. She defaults to fairy and grass type attacks. She has hyper voice. She knows how to extract information from living and dead beings-" Cray cut me off, "She does!?" I looked at him in shock, "Wait, you didn't know that?" Cray pulled out his phone but then stopped, "No... not everyone gets to learn that skill. Sure, it's not exactly rare... but I never thought she'd let Aura learn that." I then added, "Well think about it, why else would she want to interrogate her? I don't even think she's planning to interrogate her. More like scold her and release her back into the wild. Something about all of this is fishy as hell." Cray scratched his chin, "I just don't get why she'd even bother having us go after her. What's the point if she already knew the culprit; knew the answers... and yet all she'd have to do is call Aura and get this all straightened out." I sat back perplexed as well, "There's more going on than what we can possibly know." Cray thought to himself for a moment before saying, "You're going on a date later today, right?" I nodded, "Yes." Abaddon spoke up, "Really? That sounds fun." I looked at him, "Oh, hey. The thief returned and didn't even tell us until now. Check your wallets." Cray did and noticed nothing is missing, "Thank Arceus. Alright. Do you know where?" I asked back, "Where what?" Cray answered quickly, "The date you idiot." I said, "Oh! Uh..." I checked my phone and saw a new message, "Apparently it'll be at the... Lomb Buffet. That is... quite a shit name." Cray agreed, "Not much for imagination despite the shit they can do, eh?" I nodded. He then finished our conversation with, "We'll watch the restaurant in case she's not who you think she is. I'm still worried she might not be a good person despite what she has done. She could be secretly working for a slaver wanting to... get rid of the competition."
- Later That Day -
I waited near the restaurant, looking around to see if Cray and Abaddon are nearby. I spotted them in his car nearby, watching out for me. I glanced at my phone to see a text stating they are in position. I waited for Aura outside the restaurant for an hour. It began to occur to me she might be standing me up. I sent several texts since I've got here asking if she's on the way or okay. None of them have been read. Then I noticed her in the crowd. She wore a blue dress, something I've never seen her wear. She looked around and tried to spot me but when she looked at me, she didn't notice it is me. I approached her, waving to get her attention. I greeted her, "Hey Babe. You didn't see me?" She blushed, "Oh... sorry. I had a hard time spotting you amongst the crowd." I smiled at her, "It's alright. I texted you several times though." She laughed nervously, "My phone kind of died." I shrugged, "Alright... can't be helped." I decided to stay calm and fake smile, 'Three strikes. Didn't notice me in a crowd when she did instantly yesterday, that dress is 100% something she would never wear. She prefers red and green, and then there's her phone. She'd never let that die so easily. Plus, if this was her, she'd have come from her hotel where there's plugs all over for her to recharge her phone.'
We walked into the restaurant, and I felt uncomfortable the entire time. I pulled out my phone and made sure to note if I have signal or not. If I'm going to be talking with a fake, I'm going to need back up. If I openly assault her or she tries something the others will be on her side. First thing I need to do, is get Cray to talk to the Manager. The fact she didn't recognize me, means she'll have no idea who Cray is. One thing that concerned me is the bow in her hair. It could be a part of an illusion... or it could be real, and they took it off of her as a way to hurt her emotionally. If it is real, I'm going to murder this fake once I get the information out of her. As we sat at the table, I ordered some water and looked to see her looking at the menu intently. I pulled out my phone under the table and texted Cray quickly.
Cray, I'm not at dinner with Aura. She's a fake.
You sure?
You really need to ask? I know her inside and out.
Don't. Just don't.
Fine. I won't despite the setup. I can get us and the others in slowly while I tell the manager what's going on.
If he's shifty, don't be afraid to detain him. Margrev can handle the backlash if things go awry.
'Aura' tapped the table, "Hey, are you okay?" I looked at her, "Yes? Oh, I'm fine. How about you?" 'Aura' shrugged, "I'm alright, but shouldn't we be talking? We're on a date after all." I nodded, "Yeah, sorry about that. How's the concerts been?" 'Aura' smiled, "They've been great!" I smiled back at her, 'I bet.' I asked, "You ever have time off?" 'Aura' smirked, "Of course I have time off." I raised a bro, "Really? I thought being a singer your life would be busy. What do you do for fun?" Without thinking she said, "I go to clubs and drink with my fans." I acted interested, "Really? Why with fans?" She smiled sheepishly, "Who wouldn't want a piece of my aura?" I dropped the smile and said, "You do realize we are supposed to be eternal mates, right? Only me and you." She giggled nervously, "I know. I'm just messing with you." I noticed Cray with the manager in the background behind her. He gave me a signal that everyone is in place for when things go bad. I then said, "You don't know anything about her, do you? Only superficial shit." She flinched, "W-What do you mean?" I leaned forward and said, "You are not Aura. Tell me where she is, and I won't hurt you." She looked shocked before narrowing her eyes, "You won't hurt me? Bitch, I'll cut you into tiny pieces human." I slowly started getting up saying, "I am a mother fucking Gardevian. We do not play when it comes to our mates. Especially once love is involved. I will fucking skin you alive in front of all these people if I have to! Now, tell me where my mate is, or you will FUCKING DIE!" Surprisingly, she visibly shuddered as I yelled at her. Then in a flash of anger, she jumped at me while dropping the illusion. She tried to slash me, but I blocked her attack with my arm and fell back. She flew over me and I rolled onto my feet once I hit the ground. Everyone in the restaurant stared at us as we stood across from each other.
She wore the bow I got for her; a symbol of our love tied mockingly in her hair. She noticed me staring at it and rubbed a claw on it with a smirk, "Such a beautiful gift. Too bad she'll never wear it again." I pulled out my knife and got serious, "We'll see about that bitch." She didn't seem arrogant. If anything, she seemed weary. Not of anyone else, but of me. Blocking the attack must have conveyed to her to take this seriously. She took a breath and shot a stream of flames towards me. I got out of the way and threw a chair at her. She smashed it into pieces with a Shadow Claw and ran towards me. I tried to block it with my arm, but the shadow claw phased through the armor. What I felt next is something I could only describe as scarring my very soul. There wasn't a cut, nor was my arm chopped off. Instead, a light bruise form where the claw phased through. It felt horrible, despite my hand being there, I couldn't move it. It went limp and I couldn't feel anything from my wrist to where the claw phased through. As I held my arm, she smiled, looking down on me, "Ghost type attacks are notorious for harming the soul. Don't worry, I'll chop off your hands later." As she gloated, I could begin to feel my hand again. The bruise remained, but I could still use my hand in a couple minutes. I swiped at her with my knife and she side stepped the attempt while tripping me. As I got up, she sucker punched me. She shook her head disappointed, "Initially I thought this was going to be more diffi-" I cut one of her ankles and she pulled away quickly, screeching, "You stinkin' bastard!" I got to my feet and said, "Stop being a high and mighty bitch." She charged at me again, aiming for my throat with a swift chop. To her surprise I ducked under the attack easily and grabbed her arm. I forced it onto the table and stabbed my knife through her wrist pinning it to the table. She screamed out, "OKAY! OKAY! I YIELD!" I held onto her other arm and threatened to pull her. She noticed and stayed submissively still. I nudged my head for Cray and the others to approach.
Cray asked, "So, where are you holding Aura?" She opened her mouth to speak but bit her tongue as a retort crossed her mind. She glanced at me, seeing my serious expression and knew not to joke around. Shamefully, she looked aside, "She's... in our hideout. She's alive." I leaned down, "Where is your hideout?" She answered quickly, "Underneath a local nightclub. I swear." I tightened my grip, "Be more specific. Which nightclub." She slumped her head defeated, "It's called The Last Blaze. You won't get in without-" I cut her off, "You get us in, and I'll free you right now." She looked worried, "If you do that, I'll be indebted to you." Cray spoke up with time, "It means she'll follow your wishes until she repays the favor." Without a second thought I released her from my grip and gently pulled out the blade, "Good." I picked her chin up with the tip of my knife and looked into her eyes, "Know this, I spared you to save the love of my life. Use this chance to learn from your mistakes and never again try to steal or enslave humans like a sick twisted bastard." As she stared back, I noticed a blush appear before she nodded and said, "I'll repay my debt. I swear on my life." I put my knife away after cleaning it. With a swift head nudge, some of the sisters went to aid her wound. As she got patched up, I asked her, "What's your name?" She looked at me and said, "Symphony."
- An hour before Midnight -
We arrived at the slaver's hideout. The club is bustling with activity and several hundred seemed to be lined up trying to get in only to be rejected. I then noticed only Pokémon with one or more humans of any gender were allowed in easily. Cray then pointed out a strange looking Gallade entering the club after slipping some money to the bouncer, "You ever seen a Gallade with red instead of green?" I shook my head, "Nope. Nice to know there's always going to be weird shit no matter what we're doing." Abaddon cut in, "Oh that fellow! I saw him yesterday asking people about some, as he put it, 'bitch that ran a nightclub'. Turns out the fellow had a falling out due to her... screwing him over." I looked at him and said, "You are just an endless wealth of random knowledge, aren't you Abaddon?" He smiled, "Is that a bad thing?" I shook my head no, "Of course not. It's very useful my friend." He fixed his top hat and clothes, "SPLENDID! Always happy to help my best friend."
Symphony pushed between us gently, "I can easily get one of us in." The three of us gave her a look that just screamed, "Really?" Symphony rolled her eyes, "No bullshit. I am one of the people who worked for them and I'm also the one meant to bring Aura's mate in." I looked at Cray, "Sounds like a terrible idea, doesn't it?" Cray nodded, "Yeah, sounds like a trap... except she owes you, so I trust her." I looked at Cray, "You do?" He nodded at Symphony, "Her kind honor their life debts. Right?" I thought to myself, 'Zraak never mentioned that about Zoroarks. I wonder what kind of secrets he hides.' Symphony looked at me, "I will never betray you since you spared my life when you could have killed me." I decided to joke with her, "I wasn't going to kill you, but disarming you wasn't off the list." She giggled a bit before regaining her composure, "Just follow me, we'll get in easily."
The two of us went towards the bouncers, bypassing the long line. Several people began an uproar about us just cutting through but thanks to Symphony's VIP pass, we got in. The Bouncer, a Scizor, glared at me. I glared back to his surprise and walked in behind her. Once inside, the music started getting unbearably load as Pokémon of both genders dance, drank or did more all over the club. The strange Gallade we spotted earlier held a Lopunny up against a wall aggressively. The male Lopunny chuckled, a bit of blood dripping from his mouth down off his chin, "Heh. You know I usually charge for this type of treatment." The Gallade slammed his against the wall, "Don't play games with me. I want to know where that bitch Cassandra is!" Symphony's ears flicked at that, immediately walking over to him, "You said Cassandra, right?" He nodded, dropping the Lopunny. As the Lopunny scurried away, Symphony said, "We're going to be causing her some... trouble. Would you like to join us?" He nodded vigorously, "Fuck yeah. She screwed me over big time. It's time I returned the favor." He cracked his knuckles angrily before introducing himself, "Name's Xolris. I used to be a Guardian until Cassandra got me fired by killing my client and lying about it." I raised a brow, "You probably shouldn't say that out loud so often to new people you meet. Wouldn't that just make people who know her try to beat your ass?" He shrugged, "I'm already labeled a freak because I needed money, so I volunteered for a large sum of money." I looked at his red skin and blue chest shard, "I'm guessing you weren't chosen by Arceus or some shit. So, I'm guessing your appearance now is the result." He sighed, "No shit, sherlock. To keep it brief, they were trying to create alternative shinnies. Looks like it fucking worked to me!" Symphony cut in, "Well, you'll be able to fight her shortly." She mumbled under her breath, "We needed a diversion anyways..." Xolris almost caught that, "What did you say?" Symphony smiled at him, "I said that our chances of succeeded increased." Xolris nodded, "Alright, let's do this."
The three of us proceeded to a hidden corner of the club until we walked through an illusion. Symphony instantly throat chopped a Zoroark and knocked his ass out. Another Zoroark emerged to attack her only to be hit with a brick break through the door ahead of us. Xolris stretched his arms before kicking the broken door into the hallway. I glanced at Symphony in worry until Xolris yelled, "Cassandra! You little bitch!" A Gardevoir now in the hallway looked at him and laughed, "Oh my Arceus, It's Xolris! What? Was Cross busy!?" Without uttering a word, Xolris shadow sneaked and punched Cassandra across her face. A Machamp and Sableye backed her up as the four began fighting. Symphony tugged my arm and showed me the way through their hidden system of hallways. We fought together through only three Pokémon, a Typhlosion, Bisharp and Slaking. The Typhlosion and Bisharp were difficult, but the Slaking just loafed around. Even when we won, it still just sat there and shrugged. Symphony tugged me again, "He's just a lazy ass." I rolled my eyes, "Man, people really need to up their security! It's ridiculous!" Symphony shook her head laughing as we ran, "Why are you making jokes at a time like this?" I shot back, "Who said it was a joke?"
When me and Symphony got to Aura's room, she allowed me to go in alone to save her. Symphony told me, "I'll apologize to her at some point. Here's her phone and my number. Text me once all this shit is done." I took both and nodded, "You got it." Symphony blushed and looked down, "Also... tell her I'm sorry. Also, that I like her songs. I'm also sorry for hurting you before too. Once you free her, just go back the way we came. I'll keep it clear." I nodded and watched her go to keep the distraction alive. I walked into the room and saw her on her knees gagged and beaten. She's tied up with iron chains and forced to wear dark type fur. I immediately took her blindfold and gag off before hugging her tightly, "Oh thank Arceus you're not dead." She snickered, "I may not be dead but I sure as hell feel like shit." I hugged her tighter, "I was scared you were already going to be dead before I arrived." She nuzzled into my neck, sighing, "Thankfully no. They wanted to capture you so you would be displayed as their newest addition before they killed me. The Zoroark bitch really fucked me up for my phone password before it died." I pulled back and caressed her cheek, "Don't worry. Let's get you out of these ch-" She silenced me with a kiss, "Thank you... for coming." I smiled at her, rubbing her cheek with my thumb, "Of course I did. I'd never abandon you." I released her from the chains and carried her on my back. She smiled into my neck, "Wow, you're so strong now." I rolled my eyes, "Well, I have to keep saving my princess... well... I think she's become quite an Angel now." I couldn't see it, but I knew she's blushing. She then said, "Babe... I'm sorry I never told you. Even though you told me your secret. It was wrong of me. I don't have a real reason either." I shrugged, "I don't mind. It hurt, initially, but I was more worried about you. We were looking for you to bring back to Margrev." She groaned, "Fucking shit..." I said, "What? Worried?" Aura hugged me, "Yeah... um... just to clear the air, I'm sorry I took advantage of the situation." I asked, "What situation?" She sighed, "The bathroom situation... when we first did it. While I was tied up, I thought about it and... I feel like I pushed it onto you." I felt bad for her, "Trust me Aura, you didn't push it onto me. I know what that really feels like. I wanted to do it with you because I did love you. I think I just finally wanted to want to do it. I did it with someone I loved despite believing I never would." After getting her out of this terrible place, I brought her back to her hotel to care for her wounds myself instead of using powers. She liked it and when we got to bed, she showed me how much she appreciated me.
- Dream -
Without the blessing, sleeping with Aura allowed her access to my dreams. The one thing I never imagined though, is her burning desire to see one thing. I wasn't living the memory. Instead, I'm like a ghost just watching the memory. I'm unable to interact with it, can't stop it, and can't change it. blinding light surrounded me until I could see something in the distance. It's a memory from when I first met Cayden. "I'll never be a hero. I'll never be anything more than... just a human." I hear myself saying. Cayden swiped his arm angrily, "You think that's okay!?" My past self looked at him in shock as he continued, "You don't believe that shit! You just think it's easy deep down to just brush things off." I argued with him, "I'm not like you. Psychic and Fairy types might do nothing, but every other type can kill me. I'm at my limit." Cayden stared at me blankly, "Your limit? Who decided that? Instead of thinking of everything that's stopping you, just focus on what lies ahead! The only person who can stop you is you." My past self stared at him in silence. For a moment it felt like his word cut the chains that bind me. He tapped my chest with his fist, "We will work towards the future. You, me and everyone who's our ally. Change only happens when those brave enough to act stand forward. People only band together when those who can lead them starts making noise. Don't ever talk of limits Rui. We will never allow anyone to tell us what we can and can't do."
As the memory faded, I heard Aura say, "Wow. Cayden sounded very inspirational there. Is that why you followed him?" I looked to see her next to me, "Yeah. He was the first person to ever really believe in change. At least to me he was." Aura closed her eyes, "Hm... Now while I wouldn't do this normally, there's one thing I need to see." The memory faded into the light and then I noticed the area around us contort and twist into the main bathroom from the estate. The moment my younger self appeared holding towels; I knew instantly what day it is. I looked at Aura, "Why this?" Aura stared at the younger me, "I need to see what she did to you. It's been on my mind for over a decade." I said, "No, you don't. You already know what she did. You don't need to see it. I don't want to see it." She held my hand, "I need to see this, love. She bragged about it, and I need this to reaffirm my hate for her." She squeezed my hand, "Don't you trust me?" I looked at our hands and squeezed hers, "I do... but..."
- Warning - Dark Lemon Ahead - Read at your own risk -
Silvia's voice silenced me, "Leave the towels right there." Silvia appeared near the tub full of hot water. I turned to leave and heard the door locked. I grabbed it and tried to open the door. It didn't budge but that quickly became the least of my problems as I felt Silvia's arms wrap around me. She's never hugged me before. I felt her heart Shard and breasts press into my back as her face loomed over my shoulder. The smirk and desire in her eyes made a pit in my stomach form. She whispered, "I love you." Those words sending a chill up my spine as I fully realized what she intended to do. I opened my mouth to yell no, but she covered my mouth and pressed me against the door. I felt her tongue drag from my shoulder slowly up to my ear and nipped it. She whispered, "It's time I remind you what you are. You are mine. You are my toy. You are my mate. You are mine to do what I want." Her other hand rubbed my chest and slowly rubbed down to grab my crotch. I reacted with my hands trying to stop her only to feel psychic bound them together. She giggled lowly, "You can't stop me. I am gifted with powers from Arceus. A human like you has no power. The only power you ever had is over Aura's little heart." I flinched, trying to bite her hand. She let me and snickered as psychic prevented me from biting hard enough to draw blood. I felt her breath on my neck where she licked, "Mmmm. My turn." She bit my neck, sending more shivers as her other hand rubbed my crotch more. I tried struggling the best I could as he bit, licked and nipped my neck, shoulders, cheek and ear. She whispered, "I can feel the shame in you grow as your little friend started getting harder. You like being a toy, don't you?" I grunted, "Fuck off. This has gone far enough. Go take your damn bath!" I could feel her grin. I could feel her gaze, her evil presence. She turned my head to make me look into her eyes, "I will take my bath after we finish our playtime." I shivered, 'Oh shit. She's serious about this.' I tried to say something, but she silenced me with a kiss, forcing her tongue to lick my own. I pulled away and motioned to pull away only to feel the psychic bound to my wrists yank them up over my head. She stepped back, a pink faint glow on one of her fingers as it danced around. I felt the psychic grip on my neck and legs. She then approached me again, taking her shirt of swiftly and throwing it at my head. I nudged my head to get it off and looked at her face centimeters from mine, "Mm... Aura would probably kill for this opportunity." I glared at her, "Aura isn't like that." Silvia started laughing, "Oh, really? Do you really think she wouldn't pounce on you if she could get away with it? She's a predator just like me and the rest of the sisters. She didn't force you to because she's not meant for you. I was. You are mine. Your children are to be mine. Forever and ever. Sooner you realize that the better things will be." I bit my lip, stifling a whimper as I forced a glare, "I will never be yours." She asked simply, "Why?" I felt confused, "Why?" I repeated. She chuckled again, "You act like it's your choice when it's not. I'm going to take your virginity and you are going to cum inside me. Do you really think that's not going to happen? Who's going to save you? Aura?" I looked at her, absorbing the words she just told me, "I-..." I looked away shamefully, unable to answer. She gently placed a hand on my chin and guided me to look at her, "No matter how hard you fight me. No matter how much distance you run. You will always be mine. MY cute little toy. The male I can use anytime I want, whenever I want. No one will save you. No one even cares. Aura knows I abuse you. She didn't even try to tell me to stop. She just walked away. If she loved you like she told people, then she would be here saving you..." She mockingly looked at the door, "But would you look at that... the door remains closed, and you are trapped here with me."
I couldn't keep a brave face at that point and started tearing up. She wiped a tear, "You say you hate me, but when you are done fighting, you'll love me. You'll see. I'll make you forget about that bitch." She giggled, "Plus, she wouldn't want you anymore after I claim you. Why would she want you when you were too weak to stay devoted to her?" I looked down, feeling helpless and... believing she's right. Why would Aura want me if she knows Silvia stole my virginity? When she knows I was used and treated like a toy? She probably wouldn't even think I'm worthy enough to stay her friend... As I stayed in my thoughts Silvia threw me onto the ground and sat on my stomach, looking down at me, "So, tell me. Are you going to let me get this over with or are you going to say no and I can just take it?" I looked away, crying silently, "I will never say yes. If I let you, then that means I gave in. I'm never going to do that. I'm going to hate you forever." She rolled her eyes, pulling my pants down and stroking me, "At least your male part is honest. Either that or you're such a little masochist. Do you like that I hurt you? If you did, all you had to do is tell me. Here... let me... help you." She grabbed my throat and gently started choking me, smiling in delight as I struggled to breath. My hands are still bound helpless on the ground above me. She'd choke me and then let go, squeezing harder the next before giving me time to breath. When she stopped, I panted heavily and found my vision blurry. She leaned down, "Guess your friend didn't like that... I guess... I'll have to kiss it and make it feel better." She winked at me before turning around and licking my member. It felt good, but I hated that. I hated this. I hated her. She's evil. A piece of shit monster. Why did things have to turn out this way? When she started blowing me, that's when her plan really went to action. I tried, I really did but the moans would slip out and after a while I'd start whining shamefully when she stopped. This went on for minutes before she got off me and slowly took her bottoms off, "Heh... looks like you're ready now." She looked down at me dead in my eyes, smirking as she muttered, "I'll take you now." She had me focus on her as she slowly squatted down and grabbed my member, "Time to corrupt you. From now on, you are officially mine." I muttered, "Wait, no-" She slid down on me, moaning loudly as I filled her. I clenched my hands and thrashed my head side to side angrily. She shuddered, smiling hornily as she shook, "Oh yeah~... That feels wonderful~" She looked at me, smirking, "Feels amazing, doesn't it?" I could barely contain myself as I forced myself to half moan, "Burn in hell. You fucking bi-" I moaned loudly as she starts moving up and down. She leaned down, moaning in my ear before biting my neck again. I moaned louder and felt sick. This is disgusting. I shouldn't be moaning and I sure as hell shouldn't be doing this with her. I wish someone would just kill her. From her blowjob I could feel myself getting close. She noticed too, "Oh~ Twitching? Looks like you love it." I closed my eyes, refusing to look at her, "I don't! I hate you!" She rode me harder, "No you don't and even if you do now, you won't forever. One day soon you'll start coming for it. You'll start cumming for me. You'll be my happy little sex slave. Let's get me nice and pregnant though. I want to feel you blow you load inside me to really seal the fact you had your virginity stolen by me. You'll always think of this moment. You'll dread it. You'll have nightmares about it. You won't forget it as long as you live you little human bitch. Now cum!" She tightened around me as she came as well, forcing me to scream in a loud moan as I finally came inside her. I slumped in defeat, panting heavily as I stared at the wall, thinking about how awful this all is. How much I hate my life and... how much Aura is going to hate me when she learns of this. Silvia panted hard, shuddering viciously as she got off of me, "Whoa... that was a lot. You really liked that, didn't you little toy?" I stayed silent, feeling the room spin as shame radiated throughout me. If I could slit my own throat in that moment, I would without hesitation. I heard a snap and looked to see her holding her phone and tapping to send a message. She giggled, showing me her screen, "There we go. Check out what I just sent your friend?"
I see it is a text message to Aura of a picture of me laying on the ground defeated and naked. The text message with the picture said, "Just raped your friend. Lol. Sucks you won't be able to enjoy him though. He's got a nice dick." I glared at her, "You cunt." She grinned and got into the bath, "Ah... this feels nice. You know the way out. Once you can move, get your shit and get out." Just like that the memory faded and I looked at Aura to see her staring ahead seething. Her heavy strained breathing signifying her utter hatred. I said, "Aura. Why did you watch this if it was only going to make you mad?" Aura looked down tearing up, "I was curious. When I saw that message so many thoughts raced through my mind. The one I loved... used like that... it changed me. I wasn't going to be like that, and I never would have been regardless. I love you. I love you so much and I needed to see the day you changed. After she did that you were never the same. She even stole your smile and when we saw each other I barely got to see your eyes because you couldn't look at mine. She ruined everything... but I'm going to be the one to get the last fucking laugh." She looked at me and caressed my cheeks. She didn't say it but I know from her eyes she wanted me to know she loves me. I feigned a smile and kissed her as the dream began to fade.
- The Next Day -
The next morning Aura was clinging onto me as if I'd disappear if she let go. I am worried about her. She wanted to see what Silvia did to me for my first time and now she just radiates hate and worry. I couldn't calm her down, even though I've tried. Cray noticed and assumed exactly what's going on. He has no fix for this either. On the ride back to the estate, a whole six-hour ride, she still fumed. I felt like she could boil a pot of water and make a hard-boiled egg. Once we got there, Cray went ahead, and I tried one last time to help her relax by hugging and embracing her. Telling her I love her and how much she means to me. She is completely unfazed. We walked in through the front gate and went down the first hallway only to then walk into Silvia.
