Chapter 312 Good Things Don't Last

"Rory, are you sure about your feelings for me and when did do you develop such feeling for me?"

    I feel something for Rory but I was not expecting her to open up her feelings for me. You know she was the one who made the move by asking me out for a dance. If she can do that then she can confess her feelings to me as well. 

   "Of Course Xylie, do you think I will joke with something like that?. When I saw you at that ball party that evening, I was awestruck at how handsome and clean you looked. I did not know your chance of saying yes to me but I needed to try. It's better to try and get rejected than for you to assume rejection. I did not know that you were related to the witch princess, but I shut my shot and you caught it. So I am sure about my  feelings for you and it's okay if you don't feel this same way, I can understand"

   She said and stood up to leave the room, I drew her back and made her sit on the bed with my hands holding hers, I can see love written clearly in her eyes and I wondered if it's for me. Sometimes I feel I don't deserve Rory, she is too free spirited to entangle herself with me. 

   "Rory, do you really love me that much to feel that I am the guy that deserves you. You seem to forget about witches and metas. See, I like you a lot but what happens to you to make you transformed. I want to hear it"

    She looked up at me and sighed.

"I thought you would never ask."

   She muttered under her breath and I raised my brows at her. What does she mean, has she been expecting me to ask?

  "Xylie I don't need to know you more that I have already known you to know that you deserve me. I can't  stop my heart from feeling in love with whoever she chooses. Being with you for just a day has awaken something in me and I don't want to hold back from what I feel for you"

   My ears were ready to hear all that she had to say, I was not okay with what I heard. To me,I always have it at the back of my mind that Rory feels something for me.

  "And to why I transformed, it's a long story and I don't even know how to start telling you my story, Xylie"

She said and blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall. I felt sad for her even though I don't know her story. For something to make her feel teary at the mere thought of it, it must be very bad. I couldn't bear the thought of it.

  "You trusted me enough to tell me your lake story, why don't you trust me with this one, you might be lightened after sharing"

I said and she shook her head in agreement.

 "Alright, here is my story and why I transformed,

    My name is Aurora, I was born a witch, full blooded. It was just me and my brother who loved me so much, he was my elder. My parents were not left out, they loved us to a fault and my dad could do anything to keep us comfortable. We were not born rich but we had more than enough. Love ruled in my family and witches around do praise my parents for the way they brought us up and urged their kids to learn from us.

  I was one of the few lucky witches who had a smooth childhood, despite the fact that Mom was very strict when it comes to going out to play but she was the sweetest mom ever. Good things don't last though."

    She paused and looked at me, I urged her to go on

 "Something happened"

She said,

"What happened?"

I asked.

   "On a very good day close to the blue moon,my dad and Young brother left home never to return again. We searched for them for days without success until they were found by some group of witches and they were dead. It happened that it was that day they died because If they had died since, mom would have felt it. There was no way mom would survive broken bonds, I was just Eleven moons. I lost three people in one day and I went into a coma because I was separated from Mom. Hundred years later,I woke up with no clue of who I was. It was the old woman who had nurtured me for a hundred years while I was in a coma was the one who told me my history. I traced my roots and I was not recognized and since I could not tell why my brother and father were murdered, I left South to a country in East Africa."
