Aurora was sitting alone inside a shed at the rooftop with a mug full of hot chocolate on her hand.
As she was sipping the warm liquid chocolate, she had a downcast expression on her face.
"You seem down, what's the matter?" Sabastian sitting beside Aurora inquired.
Turning to Sabastian, she doesn't know how to reply to the question.
"Just sit and shut up, don't talk." Aurora replied before sipping the hot chocolate.
"Okay..."
As they watched the snow falling from the clouds, drinking hot chocolate together silently.
It was quite peaceful.
"I guess this is how it feels to be replaced, huh?" Aurora muttered.
"What do you mean, Rory? Is that why you are feeling down? Replaced, what?" Sabastian asked frowning.
There was a minute of silence before Aurora spoke again.
"I feel like I have been replaced."
"Aaron now has someone by his side, Nyx now has Ana by her side. It was not hard to figure out how the two were hanging around with each other a lot and the look in their eyes when they look at each other. Nyx and Ana are seeing each other, right?" Aurora asked Sabastian to confirm her guess.
"Yeah, they are seeing each other." sipping on his hot chocolate Sabastian replied.
"I see... We used to talk about everything and we used to be inseparable. Now, we are drifting apart from each other as we are growing and finding people that we love. Haha! It's funny, do you think I'm too clingy and possessive of my brother and sister?" Aurora chuckled turning to Sabastian.
Sabastian saw the look in her eyes.
It's full of loneliness and sadness.
He was reminded of himself when he was all alone in this new world without any of his friends and family around.
It was a hard time for himself accepting that fact that he was alone and moving on from his past.
Sabastian can understand Aurora to an extent.
Though she has moved on from her past life as Weiss Mist.
There are still many things from her past that she is clinging onto.
She has not completely moved on from her past life.
"I think it kind of makes sense for me if you are super-duper close with your siblings. It's not that you are clingy but your world revolves around them, I guess? That's why you feel lonely and sad when they have found someone else. You feel like you have been replaced by the other person that your sibling has just met. You have known your sibling since forever and have been together forever. Now that the other person entered the life of your sibling, you feel jealous of him or her that you feel like he or she is taking your sibling away from you? Even if the other person is your friend, I guess the jealousy and not being able to spend more time with your sibling making you lonely is what's making you feel that you have been replaced, I guess... Does that make sense to you, Rory?" Sabastian said replying to Aurora's question.
Aurora gazed into the ocean blue eyes of Sabastian for a minutes before she muttered.
"I guess so..."
Again there was silence.
The two watched the snowfall.
Luckily, the mugs were electrical so the hot chocolate was warm or else it would have been bad if it froze over from the cold.
"Unlike you two, I don't have anyone from my past life. Aaron and Nyx didn't have anyone when they died. All of their friends were dead. They have moved on from their past, it was easy because they don't have anything left to cling onto their past life. But for me? I have many things I have left behind, Sabastian..." Aurora said with longing in her eyes.
"I left my children alone by themselves. They are mature but also childish as well. They are my kids, my everything! I lived for them and I have willingly given up on my life for their future... I thought it would have been fine, it clearly isn't as you can see... I never would have thought I would reincarnate with my memories of my past life intact. This world was unfamiliar to me at first, I didn't have anyone here from my past life. To be honest, I didn't have any emotions at first. As I get to know more about Aaron and Nyx, the emotions that I thought I have discarded came back to me. Aaron and Nyx became everything to me, my family, my everything in this unfamiliar world!" Aurora looked down on her mug and saw it was empty, she didn't realize it until now that she has been holding the empty mug close to her mouth.
Putting the mug on a table beside her, she continued.
"I have moved on from my death, my queendom, the universe I lived in my past life but I can't move on from my children... I don't know why but there's something inside me that I have buried out deep in my subconscious, which is holding me back from moving on! I don't know what it is because I can't remember it. Well, that aside from talking about me being too clingy towards my siblings, feeling lonely and replaced. I think it would take time for me to get used to it. I just have to accept the fact that I'm not the only one in their life anymore... Right?" Aurora asked Sabastian.
She doesn't know why she asked him and she doesn't even expect any proper answer.
She knows the answer to that question.
"I guess so? Why don't you open up your heart and also try to move on with someone else? At least you won't be lonely." Sabastian getting up said to Aurora.
Aurora was surprised! She didn't expect that answer from Sabastian.
She started to think about it.
Sabastian waving to Aurora left to do his routine exercise.
Aurora sat there for 10 minutes or so before she stood up.
"Someone beside me huh? I don't think so, not now I guess... I have too much on my hands right now." She muttered as she made her way downstairs.
Contrary to her intentions, she never would have thought that 'someone' will barge their way into her heart.
That certain someone will shoulder everything alongside her.
~~~
Aaron and Yong-Hyeon were in Aaron's room.
Aaron had a panicked expression on his face while Yong-Hyeon was looking at Aaron with a neutral non-emotional face that said 'Mr Boyfriend, please explain yourself'.
There's also a voice onside his head that said 'You done fu**ed up, man.'
Yong-Hyeon was on Aaron's bed.
There were things in front of him.
Dangerous things.
"I can explain!" Aaron said panicking.
"And what can you explain to me, Mr Boyfriend?" With a monotone voice, Yong-Hyeon questioned.
"Uh, those are-" Aaron was interrupted by Yong-Hyeon.
"Please, I may be a child but I'm not stupid. These are not toys!"
'Fu*k s*it! How did he know I was going to tell him those are toys!' Aaron said in his mind.
"It's written all over your face. I can read your expression, its very, very expressive right now!" Yong-Hyeon said guessing Aaron's thoughts through his expressions.
"..." Aaron.
In front of Yong-Hyeon on the bed was Aaron's many versions of HaloCutie's cane series.
All of them were on the weapon-mode state.
There were also guns, knives, daggers, Katana's, kunai's, Ninjato's, shuriken's, and many dangerous gadgets.
There was a box of toxins too.
That had a label with a smiley face saying 'Poisons extremely dangerous'.
"Mr Aaron Christopher Blood. Please explain to me what these are and why do you have these in your bedroom. Also, please explain to me and give me reasons not to tell my mother about these and make me accept you so I can trust you around my mother. I don't have school today, so we have all day for you to tell me everything. If you can't? Then I ask you to forget my mother and please do not interact with us ever again. I don't care about myself but I do care about my mother. I don't want to think of anything that will give me nightmares for the rest of my life, so I ask you to tell me about you. Tell me everything about you!" Yong-Hyeon said as politely as possible.
There were distrust, scepticism and uncertainty in Yong-Hyeon eyes.
Aaron was stunned by Yong-Hyeon's words.
He felt like he was talking with an adult.
Thinking for a minute, Aaron sighed.
He decided to come clean to Yong-Hyeon.
One day he has to tell Li Hwa about this. So yeah, if Yong-Hyeon accepts him then he might have a positive outcome when coming clean to Li Hwa.
Yong-Hyeon might help him then, but if Yong-Hyeon doesn't accept him? Then he has to come clean with Li Hwa sooner than he expected to be.
If it goes against his expectations than he doesn't know what he will do.
Taking a deep breath, Aaron put on a serious expression on his face.
"My name is Aaron Christopher Blood, I'm from the Blood family. I created a secret organization with my sister and my friends. No one knows about this organisation, not even my family. This organisation's sole purpose is to protect my friends and family while also have fun on the side."
"..."
Seeing that there's no expression on Yong-Hyeon's face.
Aaron decided to tell the biggest secret of his life.
"Also, I'm not from this world. I reincarnated in this world with memories intact from my past life. After reincarnating, I found out that my soul can control two body at the same time. The other body of mine is Nyx's body, she is my other-self. We are basically the same person but different. She is me and I'm her."
"..." Yong-Hyeon.
"What kind of bulls*it you are spouting? I can believe the first half but the second, are you mental?" Yong-Hyeon shouted feeling creeped out by Aaron.
"But it's true!!!" Aaron reacted seriously.
