Chapter 8 Unlikely Bond

• Aurora slept of with her thoughts,
• she was awakening by the abrupt sound of the heavy oak door creaking open. She sat upright in bed, her heart racing as a figure was pushed into the room. The girl was younger than Aurora, with brown hair and wide, terrified eyes. She was naked, her body bruised and trembling, and she was pushed inside by an unseen hand and person, The door slammed shut behind her, the sound echoing through the room.
• "Are you okay?" Aurora asked looking concerned, sliding off the bed to go to the newcomer. The girl was shivering, her teeth chattering uncontrollably. She looked up, her eyes meeting Aurora's with a silent plea. Without a word, Aurora wrapped her arms around the girl, pulling her into a tight embrace.
