The Villainess With No Happy Endings

Chapter Five - The Figure

"Vemos. Cando recordas o teu nome, cóntanos. Pero polo de agora, usaremos o nome desta nena.(We see. When you remember your name, tell us. But for now, we will use this child's name.) ¿Quere ter o noso poder? (Do you want to have our power?)" As the figure continues to rest their hand on my face. I was expecting it to be cold but it felt so warm to me...

"I want to be strong so that no one will be able to hurt me. I want people to see that I am someone that shouldn't be looked down at." I could feel my heart tighten as I told the figure this. I couldn't tell if it was my emotions or Aurelia's emotions. Maybe it was the both of us...

"Escoitámosche e vémonos. Damos o noso poder e nós mesmos a ti. Só pedimos que faga iso a cambio. (We hear you and see you. We give our power and ourselves to you. We just ask you to do that in return.)" I could feel myself being surrounded by many things in the dark. I couldn't tell if it was the darkness itself or something else.

"If that is what I have to do then I hope you will accept me and everything that I have to offer. I just hope you won't hate what you get." I could feel the tears on my face coming out faster but I made sure not to lose myself in my emotions. I can't be weak in front of anyone. I always have to be strong.

"Que hai que odiar?(What to hate?)" I couldn't tell exactly but it felt like the figure was smiling at me when they said that. The figure leaned in closer and kissed me gently on the forehead. When that happened it felt like something inside of me was changing.

I closed my eyes when I felt different negative emotions appearing inside of me at full force and countless voices of people scolding me, hating me, leaving me... It finally stopped and I couldn't hear anything anymore.

I opened my eyes and felt confused that I was in my bed. Did everything that happened yesterday a dream? Did I just make that up? I ignored the disappointed feeling inside of me as I sat up in my bed.

As I was sitting up in my bed I realized I was holding something smooth in my hand. When I opened my hand I saw a medium-size blue stone in my hand. It felt so cold in my hand but it made me feel at peace as I continue to hold it.

As I was looking at this stone I heard a knock on my bedroom door. I looked at the windows in my room and I realized it was morning. Meaning Mae was here to wake me up and serve me breakfast. I permitted her to enter my room.

"Good morning Aurelia. I hope that you slept we-." Mae gave a bow before looking at me. When she finally looked at me her expression changed into a concerned one and quickly moved to me, leaving the food cart at the door.

"Your eyes are so red and puffy. Did you have a bad dream? Are you in pain? Do I need to get a doctor?" Mae had her hand on my face as she looked at me with a worried look on her face. I raise a hand to my eye and touch it. It did feel rather puffy like I was crying...

The only time I remember crying was when I was talking with the dark figure. So that must mean it wasn't a dream... They must have put me in my bed...

"It is nothing to be concerned about Mae. It was just a sad dream I had but I feel better now that you are here." I smiled at Mae, hoping it would ease her concern a bit. Mae didn't move her hand from my face for a while but did move away from me with a sigh.

"I see. Dreams can be horrible sometimes but never forget that you do have people who love you, Aurelia." Mae was giving me a serious look when she said that and I could only give her a nod. I knew if I said anything I would bring up my "father" and my older "brother".

"Oh, what do you have in your hand? Is that a magic stone? Where did you get that?" Mae noticed the stone I was holding in my hand and I was surprised to learn it was a magic stone. Did that figure give me it?

"...It was something I found hidden in the house. Can I keep it?" I gave Mae a pleading look and she gave me a soft smile as she nodded her head. I felt myself ease up when she gave me the okay. Mae went back to my door to get the food cart she left there.

"Tonight your father and brother will come over to eat dinner with you. I can pick out clothes for you in the closet for dinner." Mae was looking at me from the corner of her eye as she said this to me. I knew she wanted to know how I would react to this news and I made sure to keep my face completely flat.

"I can pick out the clothes for me. Also, Mae, if it is not too much trouble could you find me something like a ribbon that could hold this magic stone in it? I wish to wear it on my neck." I rub the stone in my hand as I ask her this. I wouldn't feel comfortable if I couldn't have this stone with me safely at all times.

"I can get that done by today, Aurelia. Now make sure to eat everything on your plate." Pinching my cheek, Mae left me to myself to eat my breakfast. I looked at the plate of french toast with bacon. There was a smiley face on the french toast and I couldn't control the warm feeling that appeared in my chest when I saw that.

I ate my breakfast as I thought about what I should eat for my family dinner. I wonder if Aurelia has anything black in her closet? Black would be perfect for this dinner. It is going to be a depressing dinner so I should dress to match it.
