Free Web NovelChapter 119: Trust me (2)
"Let go," she tried to pull off a vine that started to wrap itself around her hand and tug her down towards the stone table. Aurora had nothing to do with the vine moving around. Something must’ve triggered this to happen when she got too close to the stone wall. "Get off of me," Aurora tried her best to tear it off the vine which tightened around her hand keeping her in place.
She knew this could not have been a dream because of how real it felt. The vine was squeezing her hand like it never wanted her to leave where she was now. There were certainly going to be bruises on her hand after this. She tried to make the vines go away by using her ability but they would not listen to her.
"Trust me Aurora. Don’t fight what’s happening," the voice spoke to her again. She wished whoever was speaking knew that she did not trust a word of what they were saying to her. It was almost like she could feel the deceit in their words. She knew whoever was speaking to her did not have her best interests at heart.
Aurora felt someone shove her back pushing her towards the table and turned around to try to fight them but there was no one behind her. "What on earth is happening?" She questioned finding the cave to be eerier the more she stood in it. She could see no one but heard someone talking.
"Didn’t you hear don’t fight it? Don’t you want to know what happened to us?" Aurora finally found another her standing in the corner of the cave with her hands folded just watching what was happening but not helping. "You can’t master our abilities if you don’t start to unlock our memories. Don’t you want to see the type of people you were living with? The kind of people you thought was family?"
"Why is it trying to get me to go against the stone table? I want to get out of here right now," Aurora pleaded as she successfully tore the vine from wrapping itself around her hand. She stumbled backward trying to get away from the stone table when she noticed the vine trying to aim itself at her again. "No, thank you for going through whatever we experienced here again. Can’t I just remember it without having to go through this?"
"How can you get as angry as I am if you don’t feel what we went through? You’re still holding unto the relationship you thought you had with those people you called family. They were just looking out for themselves. You’re not going to get angry if you don’t remember what we went through. Get first-hand experience of what they did to us!" The other Aurora started to get mad that Aurora hadn’t become as angry as she should’ve been yet.
"Don’t you remember the cold feeling of them laying us down on this stone table under the moonlight? How they promise they had someplace they wanted to take you for your birthday? They always told us to trust them but that family is full of snakes and I hope everyone burns in the underworld. Get mad Aurora," the other Aurora climbed on top of the stone table since Aurora didn’t want to go through with it.
"Trust me," the other person’s voice tried to convince Aurora once more.
Aurora looked around for the source of the other person telling her to trust them but it was just her and the other version of herself in the cave. She watched from a good distance as the other her laid across the stone table as the vines held her down and the moonlight reflected on her.
"You put your trust in them and they take away all that you know for their benefit. They took advantage of our caring nature and ruined us. It’s painful to go through this many times. Watching them standing around the table, waiting for you to lose yourself while you can’t help but scream from the pain." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Aurora covered her ears with her hands when her own screams echoed in her head. They grew louder and louder causing Aurora to have chills running all over her body from the screams feeling too real. Her throat started to become sore the more the screams increased as if she had just got done screaming at this very moment. Aurora panted becoming afraid of the cave and whatever had occurred here. She wanted to remember her past but not things like this. "I-I have to go," she muttered as her knees became weak.
"How am I supposed to come back if you’re always going to be a coward? Get angry and remember everything!" The Aurora on the stone table yelled causing it to crack right down the middle. "Do you think those creatures will stop coming for us? We’re a lucky charm for them and soon enough they’ll have you back here on this stone table and you won’t be able to run away like you are trying to now. Remember and get back our power. We can kill all of them."
"I don’t want to do that," Aurora stated right before finding the courage to run away from the broken stone table. She had no thoughts of killing anyone.
"How long do you plan to run for?" Aurora asked herself. There was a big difference in what past and present Aurora wanted but it was all because one was missing what she had to endure in the past. "Running away will never help solve any of our problems."
Aurora ignored the question and kept running away from the cave. To get back her memories was one thing but to have to experience something like this all over again was another thing. Why on earth would anyone try to hold someone down against a stone like that? Why wouldn’t they stop when they heard her screams? How could people be so selfish to hurt someone like that and then turn around to pretend to be nice to them?
Aurora knew Minnie and the others weren’t as good as she thought when she had no idea that she wasn’t human but to learn that they tried to hold her down against that stone table and tried to do something to her was scary. The unknown of what they might’ve done to her or currently planned to do to her was overwhelming.
Aurora understood a bit of why she should be angry but she didn’t feel the need to take revenge on the Hamiltons. She didn’t feel the need to go back there and force them to apologize for what they did to her. If she were to receive an apology from anyone she wanted it to be sincere and not because they were scared of what she might do to them. Aurora didn’t plan to go back to the Hamiltons and rekindle the old relationship she had with them unless it would be with Regina because everything else was a lie.
Aurora wanted to remember her past but she also wanted to be able to let go and move on with her life. Maybe it was because she didn’t know everything yet to be truly angry to the point of wanting revenge and the answer to opening up herself to those feelings was just right in front of her but she didn’t want her goal to become getting revenge. She wanted to find peace in her life and do whatever she wanted. freewebnσvel.cøm
Aurora lived trapped as a prisoner for a long time and she didn’t want to become trapped seeking out revenge. She didn’t intend to live her life feeling angry with anyone like that other side of her was. For once, can’t there just be happiness? She didn’t want these memories if they would lead her down a path of being angry and wanting revenge.
So what if she was being a coward for running away when the truth was right there in front of her. She was scared to think about or feel what more happened to her in that cave. "How do I get away from this place?" She questioned when she finally reached the outside of the cave. Aurora found herself not wanting to remember anything about her past. The fear was becoming overwhelming and maybe it was better she took this opportunity to enjoy life with no horrible memories.
"How do I get out of here?" She panicked looking around for an escape. Aurora felt lost and scared when thorns started appearing around her in the forest and she didn’t know how to control herself. She didn’t know how to control the growing fear inside of her of what her life had been and what the future held for her. "I just want to be normal. Just make me normal," she pleaded out loud for anyone to hear and make her wish come true.
"I want to go home!" She closed her eyes and yelled subconsciously, taking herself back to Vincent’s home in the process.
