"Monster," Aurora found herself saying.

      Mikhail visibly flinched and backed away from her. When he finally raised his head, his eyes were tortured and pained.

      Aurora slowly pushed herself up and realized that she had been lain on the couch in the living room, still wearing her night gown. She looked around and found Gage sitting on the sofa across from her, lounging back with his face still deathly pale but at least they had cleaned up the blood off of him.

      She glanced at her wrist, the place she had sliced with the dagger and saw that there was no sign of a scar. Not even a little thin line. Her skin was completely healed. Swallowing, she looked up and met Mikhail's eyes. He stared back down at her, looking beautiful and haunted.

     "I remember," she finally spoke, breaking the silence. "That night...when I was seven. Mrs. Briggs, our old neighbor."

     Mikhail winced. "I had lost control that night and made you see something horrible. I apologize."

     "That's it?" Aurora asked in a soft whisper, "you apologize? You took away my memory of that night, didn't you?"

     "Yes."

     "Why?"

    "I believed it for the best. You were terrified."

    "And after?" Her voice rose. "And after that, Mikhail? Why didn't you guys tell me the truth? Why did you continue to keep things from me? WHY!? Am I just your human plaything? Your doll to dress up? Huh!? HUH!? Tell me Mikhail!"

    "Shut up," Gage growled, making her head snap to his direction. He still had his eyes closed but he was definitely wake. "You don't know what you're talking about."

    Aurora stood on her feet so fast that she nearly tripped but Mikhail was there to catch and steady her. Aurora pushed herself off him, still feeling the bitterness of betrayal. "I've never questioned anything til now, which was really stupid of me. But now I want the truth. The whole truth. What are you...and who am I?"

    Gage opened his eyes and glowered at her. "You are who you are, brat."

     "You know what I'm saying," she snapped. "Did you guys take me away from my family?" She reared back with horror at the very thought of the men she had come to love so much doing something like that.

     She turned her accusing and horrified eyes to Mikhail. "Did you kill my parents and take me?"

     "No," Mikhail shook his head. "Of course not. How can you think of such a thing?"

     "I don't know what you're capable of," Aurora said bitterly. "I don't even know you at all, do I?"

    "Mikhail adopted you," Gage said calmly, but it was taking all he had to reign in his temper with the foolish girl. "That's all you need to know."
