It's All Written In The Stars (ch 2)
The Truth


I woke up to the sunlight glaring at me through the light curtains of my large window yawning and stretching I pulled away from my soft lilac-colored bedsheets off me and sat there for a moment.

It's another day in my life ok I thought. I glanced at my bedroom which was rather large and grand with black furniture and pale purple painted walls and large grey windows with cream white thin curtains it was large to be defined as a bedroom but definitely small for a world yes my bedroom is my world I spend most of my time in it I felt like I was locked up inside these walls they say it's for the best but I feel like I don't belong in here I feel like an alien compared to others my thoughts and opinions are very different from them if only I could find where I truly belong if there's a lot of ifs in my life if only.

A wish. A long-awaited wish maybe it'll come true maybe no I let out a heavy tired sigh knowing that I'll always be an outcast no matter what but all I have to think about is today cause it's important than worrying I lifted up my spirit and smiled.

"It'll be alright," I whispered to myself.

I got out of my bed and followed my daily morning routine brush take a bath get dressed etc. I went out of my room and walked down the grand staircase and into the dining room

"Good morning, mother," I said enthusiastically "Good morning, father."

"Good morning "my mother drawled in a very bored tone.

"Good morning Aquila," said my father in a normal tone his voice was naturally deep and quiet he was reading the daily prophet and did not lookup.

I started to eat my breakfast soon Eric came from his room still looking sleepy but nevertheless dressed properly like a pure-blood.

"Good morning Eric," I said. His face lit up as he heard my voice "Good morning Aquila!" he said cheerfully. He greeted our parents and started eating.

After I finished eating I decided to play with Eric we were chasing each other in the corridors of the Johnson manor laughing loudly as the laughter echoed but then suddenly we were interrupted by the doorbell we both ran down to the front door as the house-elf lemon opened it.

There stood a strange-looking man who was tall and he had pale skin and black messy ear-length hair

"Hello, I am here to take Aquila with me," he said.

His voice was like summer what? Summer? I don't know that's how it sounds. Wait for what? did he say he came to take me with him? I felt my stomach churn up and my heartbeat growing fast as every second passes why would someone come to take me with let alone a strange-looking Stranger a lot of questions ran in my mind my thoughts were interrupted by my mother asking,

"Why? Who are you?" In a stern voice.

The stranger said "Oh, I'm Eurus, you don't know me? well, a lot of people don't, it's alright now yeah Aquila, she has to come with me. Didn't Astraeus inform you, Ma'am?"

Eurus. Who is Eurus a celebrity? A famous Auror? I don't think so he said a lot of people don't know him he sounded like he was once praised but now forgotten again why should I go with him? Astraeus who is that? Judging by the expression of my mother he is not the best person I mean does she know this...
