Kingdom Of Flames ✔

Chapter 6: Silent and broken

Previously:

I wait outside, looking around to see if I could spot my Aunt, yet I couldn't find her anywhere. I begin losing hope and in defeat, my head falls low.

"Addy?"

---------------------------
My ears ring as I hear the familar voice. It was similar to my mums, a little deeper though. The same softness and kindness drip from her words and I cant help but allow my lips to spread into a small smile. I turn slowly on my heel, facing away from the house and staring into the dark chocolate eyes of my Aunt Rosel.

With a long sigh of relief, I walk to her, increasing my speed with each step before jumping into her arms, nuzzling my head into her neck like I did when I was a child.
"Aw my beautiful Addy! You came!" Aunt Rosel exclaims, withdrawing slighly to stare at me.
"I had to know you was alright Auntie. You've been gone... for so long." I said, my voice faltering. She cups my face to examine my features, sighing happily as she drags me into another comforting hug.
"You look just like your mother, just younger and even more beautiful than I remember. My little Addy, you've grown up so fast." She states and I laugh a little, before gulping.
"However, I did not know growing up meant I would come to a place you used to tell me stories about." I sigh, stepping back and hugging my arms.
"Addy, I'm truly sorry. I didn't want any of this to happen. This probably makes zero sense but please, come with me. I'll explain everything. Just not here." She whispers the last part and I nod immediately. This is my Aunt and I trust her. I dont want to spend another minute out in the open like this aswell.
"Okay. Follow me." I obey and we begin walking in the opposite direction of where the lonely house lay sat, slowly falling apart like these Kingdoms...

Aunt Rosel and I walk for what seems like forever, until finally, we oppose an intimidatingly large house. Yeah there were pieces of wood missing from the door and sides of the home and maybe one or two windows had been shattered, but apart from that, it was a decent house... for a place filled with misery anyways. We both walk inside, not exchanging any words like we had done on the journey here.

The interior was like the exterior in ways - a little roughed up but in good shape overall. A grey sofa with a few springs popping up, lay in the corner of the room with a wooden table in the centre. The kitchen had essentials to get by and the two bedrooms contained similar beds, cabinets and wardrobes. Ofcourse, there was a toilet and shower but I wouldn't say they were in the best condition, but then neither was anything in this Kingdom. I run my fingers through my chensut hair, dropping my bag on the table and relaxing down onto the sofa.

Aunt Rosel, sighs taking a seat close to me.
"Are you ready to hear it all?" She asks nervously and I roll my eyes.
"I deserve an explanation now more that ever. Lets hear it."
