"Stay in the car," she told Caden as she opened the door.
Aurora knew that the best place to go was the underground ring. Chelly would be more than happy to take such an expensive car off her hands and have more than enough ways to deal with it.
"I don't think that's a good idea." he protested.
"And I don't want this car getting stolen. Do you see the area we are in right now?"
"There's no one around."
"There's always someone around. Now stay." she got out and closed the door.
Like always the street was silent and still but that didn't mean there was no one. It just made it all the more dangerous. Aurora had been jumped a few times
After another ten minutes of sitting in the cafe trying to calm her pounding head, Aurora decided to leave and go drop off the phone. Mitchel lived in a small run-down apartment in the middle city. He got good money for all the work he did or her parents but it all went into crypto or new tech he wanted.He was basically a hermit and although she had only met him a couple of times she could deduce that he was an interesting character.Standing outside of his door she could already smell it. Cringing slightly, she raised her hand and knocked on the door. It took her a full five minutes of impatiently knocking on the door before it was opened.Wrapped in a blanket with messy hair and a very foul smell, Mitchel poked his head through the threshold.
Aurora patted around for her phone on her bed. Her arm swished aimlessly on the fabric as she tried to feel for it but couldn't. Trying a few times, she was able to push herself up from her position so that her torse was on the bed. Finally being able to reach her phone she called her mom."Mom," she croaked into the phone. Her hand trembled trying to keep it up so she just put on speaker and laid it on her bed."Hm, Princess, what is it? We're in the middle of something."They're always in the middle of something."I need help. I don't know what's happening. I think I was drugged."There was silence over the phone for a second. "What?! What do you mean you were drugged?! Where are y
"What is he doing here?"Shocked, Caden and Aurora turn their heads to see her dad sitting on the couch with a book in his hand. The light in the room was dimmed so the two had not seen him when they came in. Since Aurora could not walk she had insisted that Caden carry her on his back to the gate since Mitchel was there."Huh, what are you doing sitting in the dark like a weirdo? Did you have a fight with mom or something?" Aurora asked."I did not have a fight with your mother and stop trying to change the subject. Why is he here? And carrying you?""He's my chauffeur." Aurora smiled at him."And where is he chauffeuring you to?"
Time passed and now there were two weeks until Delta attacked the Fraiser Port. She had tod her parents and they had been making preparations for it. In that time she and Caden spent more time together even though he did not have a lot of information to give her. Usually when something important was about to happen groups would limit their activity and information flowing out.The six higher-ups weren't present at the club anymore. And people from Delta disappeared from the underground. It was the quiet before the storm and Aurora was sure that they would bring their top guys on this. The missing weapons stayed missing and her parents ruled that they stole them to use when they tried to take control of the port.Winning the port would cut off their main source of income so her parents were extremely busy trying to make sure that that di
Aurora froze. She could not see the person fully but their face was prominent. Their eyes rested on hers. She didn't move and just looked at them. Her heart thumped in her chest and she prepared herself to either fight or escape. But then the person just turned their head and walked out of the room.It was a man. He was tall and lean. Dressed casually but he had a gun holstered on his waist. Aurora still kept still and watched him. He could make her lower her guard if he pretended to not do anything and then when she went to move, shoot her.So once he was outside, then did she decide to move. Crouching back down next to Caden she let out a breath, keeping her eyes focused on the outside."What happened?" he asked."Nothing," she mutt
The Fraiser symbol was an 'F' with two guns on either side of it and it was enclosed in a circle."Caden," Aurora grabbed onto his arm."What?" he stopped."Look."She moved away from the door and he walked and looked through it. Once he realized what it was he backed away nodding slowly."Oh,""Oh? Oh? What do you mean oh? What do I do? I'm about to blow this place sky high and then come to realize that these are here. I need something other than oh.""I'm not sure. Is it really that big of a deal if they are here? Your parents gave up on them, right? We have the power here and no
Aurora and Caden sat at the table. Across from them were her parents. They had stern looks on their faces and Aurora immediately knew what it was about. It was obvious, the explosion was all over the news and it didn't take a genius to figure out who did it. It was said that nearly a hundred people died. There were some injured who made it out alive but mostly dead people.She didn't feel bad for what she did. Maybe Caden felt bad because he wasn't one set out for this kind of life but he decided to join her and so that was what he gets."You know, doing this sort of thing isn't really going to stop them." her mother said."But it will slow them down." Aurora sat up. "You know, the weapons they stole were in that building.""What?!" b
"Aurora!" a voice echoed through the hall.She looked up from her position and saw Caden and Chelly enter the locker room."You fight started, what happened..." Chelly's voice trailed off when he saw the scene."What happened?" he rushed towards her and bent down, gently touching her face."I had a bit of a situation." she laughed softly.Chelly looked at the girl who was cowering against the wall. He gave her a dirty look. "I'm going to call security.""No, no." Aurora held his arm. "It's ok. I have this under control."Caden crouched on her other side and he moved her face so tha
