And there he was. Before her and demanding answers as he always had. What happened? Honestly... She had no idea. Her mind sifted through the haze to find any sort of real thoughts. Eyes stayed shy upon the ground. How could she look him in the face? Her smooth carmel hide was riddled with painful lumps. The blistered flesh had only slightly healed as she had ventured here. Here? Where was she anyhow...?
"Don't look at me," her voice pleaded as he stood there examining her. She hadn't needed to lift her eyes to feel his heavy gaze upon her. His deep ominous eyes. That's when he shifted. She didn't shy from his touch as he reached for her. His plated face lifting hers, forcing her gaze to follow.
She barely noticed the ivory plate as her eyes met his. The dark depths they held were mysterious and captivating. For a moment she forgot her misfortunes. Forgot her scars, her constant failures. She was lost within their darkness...
What happened, Aurora?
His voice was unusually gentled just then and it coaxed her to find the words to try to explain. Her brow furrowed as she tried to make sense of the situation, "There was a darkness. I couldn't breathe. Then something, someone, was chasing me. I tried getting help so I ran to the mountain. That's when I was surrounded by this haze. I felt my skin burning so I ran... I fell... When I woke up I was here. My face.. my neck.. it burns." Her voice was soft and confused. Slightly pained as her thoughts concluded. Golden flecked eyes shied from his gaze once again. Emerald wings shifting uneasily against her sides. If only they would cover her face as well...
