Don’t Stars Shine?

Feb 13, 2023

Four years later (Aruna is now 10 and Astro is 13) 

"Aruna! Astro! Come here now!" Diana yells. She impatiently waited at the front door for them. After a minute only Aruna went to Diana.

"Yes mother?" Aruna asked, looking at Diana nervously. 

"First of all it's Diana, not mother. Second, where is Astro? I called for both of you." Diana said. 

"Of course Diana, sorry." Aruna replied. "Astro is at one of those after school clubs. I am sure his is in no trouble and he will be home soon." 

Diana gets frustrated. "Of course he is breaking the rules." Diana sighs and hands Aruna some sort of packet. "You need to study this so you can have control of your magic, I didn't keep you for nothing. And when Astro comes home tell him to come to me immediately." 

"Ok Ms. I will do both of those.." Aruna replies. As Diana walks away, Aruna looks through the packet she gave to her. "I hope these are easy enough." Aruna thought. Aruna goes outside into the backyard to start training 

Hours go by

"Focus, you do this." Aruna thinks. She holds her hand out. "Breathe in and out." She thinks as she takes a deep breath and exhales. A small light appears in front of her hand. Aruna squeals in excitement. "I did it!!" Aruna said while twirling. She hears clapping and she stops and turns towards the sound immediately. 

It was Astro clapping. "You did amazing Aruna!" Astro said as he walked towards Aruna. "I can't wait to see the tricks you will be able to do soon." Astro says with excitement 

"How long were you there for?" Aruna said with a confused expression 

"Long enough to see you fail many times before realizing you have to do breathing exercises." Astro said while snickering. 

Aruna elbows his stomach. "Shut up. It's not my fault the instructions are confusing." Aruna explains. 

Astro picks up the packet and looks through it. "Huh, that weir. Most of these are complicated spells. The one you did is the only beginning on in this. I didn't even know half of these existed when I started." Astro said confused.

Aruna looked at Astro confused. "Really? Then why am I starting with such hard spells?" Aruna asked. 

"I'm not quite sure. Maybe Diana is hoping you to higher standards the me." Astro explained.

"What?! That's so unfair! Ugh!!!" Aruna wines. But then Aruna remember what Diana said. "Oh wait, Diana wanted to see you as soon as you got home. You should probably go to her." Aruna says. 

"....Ok, I will go then." Astro said with an uneasy expression on his face.

"Be careful, ok? You know how Diana is." Aruna says 

Astro looks at Aruna. "I know, I'm going to be fine." Astro said with a fake smile. Astro leaves to go to Diana

"I hope everything will be fine. . . I would rather that he doesn't get hurt more than he already is." Aruna thought. She breathes in deeply and exhales. Aruna goes back to the packet and starts to try and better the spell she already did.

Astro opens the front door and sighs. "Hey you got this. You can handle anything she does." Astro thought as he closed the door and walked towards Diana's office. As he looks at the door intimidated he thinks "I hope..." Astro hesitates to open the door but still does it. He opens the door to find Diana waiting for him.

Most stars have an amazing life that is perfect and filled with happiness from the start, but not this one

Aruna is an elf who was born into a broken household. Her parents didn’t have the best relationship with each other, and got a divorce when Aruna was that age of two. Aruna and her older brother, Astro, stayed with their mother, Dina. And Aruna’s other brother, Ravi, when with their father. Aruna has not seen either of them since. Diana was very abusive towards Aruna and Astro, mentally and physically. But the whole time Astor protected Aruna as much as he could. But it got to a point where Astro ended his own life. Aruna could bear to stay there for any longer there alone with Diana. Aruna ran away from home, with no other choice, she went to Lin’s house.

Aruna has to live with the trauma of everything she has went through. She feels like everything is going wrong and she is desperately trying to be happy, even if it’s just for a bit.
