Chapter 2 A wolf

Chapter Two

Aurora lay facedown with her hair touching the floor. She had remained calm to subside the roar of unpleasant blood stream in her ears. She felt lonely in the house and her prince charming was yet to reply her message. She glanced over her phone for the tenth time and still there was no popped up notification from him.

"I just have to think he finds another woman if he doesn't reply my text message or call." She pouted her lips while using her finger to control the cup on the stool.

The door yanked open and Celeste stomped in. "I knew it. Aurora, how many time..."

"Have I told you not to use your power. Don't recite a spell. Don't touch any books. Don't leave until I tell you so." She interrupted Celeste while laying on the sofa bed.

"Did you just interrupted me young lady?" Celeste frowned at her, at the way she was using magic to make the chair next to the book shelf move toward her.

"Have a seat. I want to ask you something?" She ignored her question and sat upright, she ribboned her long curl auburn hair into a ponytail style.

"I hope you're not planning to ask me a spell to silent someone this time." Celeste drawled as she sat down on the chair. Aurora faced her with a solemn expression.

"Why do I have to come all the way from this city to this old house?"

Celeste resisted the urge of rolling her eyes as she huff miserably.

"If you're tired of coming here I won't stop you. You can quit but remember, what I'm doing isn't for me but you. You should learn to stabilize your anger or you might end up killing someone. "

"Is that why you make me do yoga everyday? Clean your dirty desk and dust your dirty shelf?"

"You still haven't learned how to speak with respect. You're not going back to the city today."

"You get to be fucking kidding me right?" She blurted out and swayed her hand. A force lifted books from the desk next to Celeste. She looked at Aurora and shook her head. She controlled the books and arranged them back on the desk before facing her.

"Dare to be wise. I took you in when you were nine, remember you almost killed your nanny because she provoked you. If not because of what your father has done for me in the past I wouldn't have took you in." She stood up. "I'll teach you how to stabilize your anger so after that you and I have no business." She declared.

"I'm a grown up woman, I know how to stabilize whatever you call it. My father asks you to be my guardian but he never asks you to be harsh on me. I come all the way down here after work just because of what? I'm getting bored. I don't really have a time for myself or Kevin and it's getting me upset. To be honest, he might just breakup with me someday."

"I'll love that if it happens."

"Really?" Celeste refused to say a word. Aurora looked really upset since no one ever cared about how she felt, she would have to walk away from their path. She had been living a life without her parents, they took her to her Aunty after the incident. She had been attending witch class and now that her life was becoming a disaster, she wanted to quit. Focus on her goal, visit home and go on a picnic with Kevin.

She deserved to know who she truly was but whenever she asked the question they always found a way to steer the conversation. She couldn't call herself a witch because they told her she was never a witch. What was she truly?

"I've had enough of this. I'm leaving." She took her phone.

"If you leave now don't ever come back to me for any sort of help because I'll drive you out of my house." Celeste snarled, a bit upset.

"Be my guest." Aurora stalked out of the house. Darkness had took over the cloud as the moon was set to come out. She checked her watch and it all came to her that she had over stayed at her place.

She had to walk through the woods before she could get to the road. Luck her, she found a taxicab right in time. She hopped in.

When the taxicab finally came to halt, she alighted after paying him. She was about to walking into the apartment when her phone rang. A delighted feeling arouse in her as her face lighted up with a grin. She dipped her hand in the purse and brought the phone out. When she saw who was calling her, her face fell disappointedly. She didn't bother to pick up.

"I've been staying here for hours and finally you're here. Wouldn't you at least say hi to the phone. " She heard the voice she hated most behind her. She stood steadily without turning back.

"What are you doing here?"

"To see you. Today's your day off so I come over to take you out but unfortunately I'm not luck enough to meet you home." She turned around and faced him as she crossed her hands over her chest.

"Doctor Harry, it's a pleasure to have you here but you're not welcome at all."

"I love you Doctor Hammond. Aurora I love you." He confessed before he could control himself.

"It will be my honor to smoke your heart into ashes."

"You can start with his." He leaned his pouted lips. Aurora gritted her teeth, trying to calm down but the pervert before her wasn't helping as he kept moving closer.

"If I stay another second with you I'm just going to kill you." She opened the door and walked inside.

After she locked the door she turned around to head inside but bumped into a figure. She startled back.

"Gosh! You scared the craps out of me."

"Oh. Did I?" Aunty Charlotte teased her. She gave a little shrug and walked inside.

"Today isn't my day." She mumbled.

"What's wrong? Did anyone find out who you are?" She rolled her eyes at her and scoffed.

"Was that the only thing you could think of? I sent mum a message she hasn't replies, including dad. Kevin has been trying to avoid me and that perverted doctor has been trying to get in my head." She complained.

"What do you want me to do?"

"There is this spirit in me that want to kill all of them." She uttered foolishly.

Charlotte wasn't surprised. She was always like that whenever a little thing pissed her off and she couldn't vent her anger on anyone.

"Including your parent?" Aurora looked at her and shook her head pitifully.

"You always get me wrong so talking to you is futile. "

"Talking to your Aunty is futile?"

"Can I use your phone?" She requested politely.

"For what?"

"Just to inform mum that I'm coming home tomorrow. Since she refuses to return my call and message, I'll pay them a surprise visit." Charlotte gasped. Not now, Mrs Hammond had told Charlotte to stop Aurora from coming over. They used to be the one that visited her not her so why was she acting up. Charlotte knew it had something to do with Celeste.

"Charlotte." She snapped her fingers annoyed at her face as it jolted her out of her thought.

"Um. Oh... I." She stammered.

"Your phone." She extended her hand. Charlotte put the phone in her palm and watched her walking away.

"Thank you Charlotte. "She twisted the door handle and yanked the door shut behind her.

"Aish. What do I do? What do I do?" Charlotte wandering around the sitting room, thinking of a way to Aurora. She finally came up with an idea.

She ambled toward the door and planted a soft knock on it. "Luna. May I come in?" She called her by her other name.

She got no response from her. She knocked severally. "Luna, I need to use my phone please open the door." She thought saying she would opened the door.

Aurora wasn't in the room. She had locked the door from inside and jumped out through the window after hearing loud groan coming from somewhere not far from their house.

She walked through their backyard, tracing where the groan was coming from. She past the route that led to the forest. She turned on the flashlight and checked around. She couldn't find anyone around. She thought the sound might be one of her imagination as she tried to head home. Fortunately, she heard the sound coming behind the big tree.

"Argg." It sounded more like animal's groan.

"Who is there?" She asked, a bit frightened to move closer. She stood far away from the tree while pointing her flashlight at the tree. She was too anxious to move closer, she hadn't see the person or the animal. She couldn't tell if it was actually human or animal either.

She flashlight went off and by the time she on it. She saw a wolf standing not far from her, looking at her the same way she did. She startled back as fear gripped her and the phone slipped her hand.

"Oh my God. " She moved backward frighteningly.

By the time she took the phone on the ground, the wolf was gone but the blood trace was on the ground and leaves. She didn't wasted another second as she took to her heels.
