Porter X

People say those who visited the GREENGARDEN home were pleased by the set of people they were, aside from the guild they worked in, and the Hunter Welfare Association financial stand, this family could be said to had been the ric.h.e.s.t in the city if not the world.

Though they lived far away from the main city of Rose and own their own estate which could house a small town or village if planned for.

It was a splendid afternoon upon arriving home while excitedly running down the stairs to welcome her parent, a child of 6 she was.

White hair danced beautifully behind her while gracefully been attached to her head. Like a father excited to hug her daughter he embraced the incoming impact of her sudden jumb ignoring her mother.

Both hugged like it has been years they saw each other. Feeling jealous her mother spanked her a.s.s while at her fathers embrace.

'C'mon mom, dont be jealous'

Her words slapped her mother heavily and she couldn't get more jealous as she pinched her daughter cheek for being naughty.

'At least you could have said welcome home mom'

Her mother retorted as she couldnt stand her silly daughter for not even welcoming her. Upon letting go their luggage it was instantly attended to by their maids.

'Nah, b-burh ih hurls'

She spoke with her cheeks been pulled while they both ignored their father who was been placed in an awkward situation

'Fhine, shilly, elcam hame mom'

She could barely speak properly as her arms later aimed towards her mother who had decided to accept her daughterly hug.

The father was a muscular man, his buildup was that of a Tank Hunter, his coat had covered his suit as he offered the coat to one of the maid present. He is an SS- Rank Tank Hunter and his wife an SS-Rank Assassin Hunter.

Her father had white hair while her mother had black long hair that was neatly braided at each side and folded like a donut behind her head, her father iris was black, and the mother iris were red.

Her mother who had offered her coat to the maid had embraced her daughter in warmth as both rub their cheek to one another.

'Hope you have been a good girl this past week you hadnt followed us to the dungeon'

The father said walking few steps away from mother and daughter.

'Yes dad, besides I have improved my skills alot while you were away'

She said and came down from the embrace of her mother, now standing she stared at her father who had halted before walking up the stairs.

'Oh thats right, Mr. Weinstein is hosting his sons 4th year Birthday, and i was hoping you would join us'

The father said with a smile

'Mr. Parker is? Beside Why do i have to go to a kids birthday?'

She retorted trying to dissuade her parents in a nonchalant attitude.

'Oh, did i forget to mention you are betrothed to him?'

'C'mon dad, dont joke around'

She said trying to defend her self of not wanting such a thing

'Well it is tomorrow, so get ready, i think you will like him'

'B-but dad!'

She spoke in a dissuaded manner like a chikd loosing a debate with her parent as she was pat gently at her back by her mother while being ignored by her father who had walked up the stairs.

'Your dad was joking, but i think it could be a change of perspective if you get to meet him, after all, his father was the one responsible for our current success, if not for dad, come with us tomorrow for my sake'

Her mother said before kissing her forehead, debating about her choice, Aurora was left to swim in her pool of thoughts as she had hated the fact of mingling with anyone.

'It is the least we can do, besides i think you will have more fun with Mr. Weinstein son just like you always have with Mr. Weinstein'

Her mother said while leaving Aurora behind as she walked up the stairs. AURORA debating about her taught as she was left with no choice.

********************

As promised it was a day to be celebrated, AURORA and her parent had walked out of their mansion as they all aimed to get into their luxurious vehicle which could be said to be a limousine at such glamourous appearance.

The entrance being opened by their chauffeur has welcomed them in, and after shutting the door the chauffeur hastily took upon the driver seat and drove off as order.

Their four hours journey came to an end in a compound not so flamboyant, it wasnt a mansion but a regular building one with a chimney at the left side of the building.

Upon getting out of their car they could see a flower garden behind the house, few parked vehicles and could hear the cheering and partying of guest or people.

Like being expecting them a man walked to the approaching people, tall and fair, got blue eyes and black hair, his build was like that of both fighter and an assassin hunter, he had a shaved beards.

Aurora had ran to hugged him as he gladly caught her and raised her up in his arms.

'Look at you Aura, you've grown to be a big girl'

He said upon lifting aurora up and not minding his white shirt getting stained.

'It been a while uncle parker'

She said while getting his chin roughed up by her little hand.

'I never knew you would actually invite lot of people to Snows Birthday'

Aurora father said with a big grin as he shook mr Parker's hand in swaggy manner

'Well i had too for future purpose'

Mr parker responded with a smile while still carrying Aurora in his arms.

'How have you been SHELLEY, you are looking more beautiful as usual'

Mr parker said in a flirty manner while ignoring her husband beside her

'Am fine honey, so where is this son of ours'

She said in a naughty manner as she went to claim mr parker vacant hand while he led the way to the room were the party is being held.

'I use to get scared you two always mean what you act'

Aurora father said while following them behind feeling awkward by the situation.

'C'mon philip, you know i can never do that'

Mr parker said and giggled afterwards

'My dad is jealous'

Aurora said in a naughty manner as her grin was mischievous.

'I know right?'

Her mother joined her as they all laughed while approaching the living room.

Like being waiting for his dad a kid walked up his father, not so tall about a little shorter than Aurora, he had black hair like his father he was standing and smiling like being forced to, he had a silver Iris and sometimes uses contact lens as disguised so he wouldn't look weird among people.

Upon seeing Aurora dad he smiled geniuly, the man had wore a cream colour suit upon leaving his mansion

'Hello, old man Philip'

He said trying to tease the man

'C'mon snow, i arent that old'

He retorted at the kids words as he hated being teased of his age and by a kid at that.

'Off course you are, i am sure you are 10 years older than my old man'

Snow said in a serious manner trying to tease him more but soon got his attention caught by a red gown

'Hello Mrs SHELLEY, i see you are pretty as always'

He complemented the lady who was in a red gown

'See, i told you, you were pretty, i wonder how much this grumpy guy had spend on you'

Snows dad said upon snows compliment trying to make Philip more jealous for a kid compliment.

They all laugh over it and soon aurora mother request for white present.

'So where is white?'

'Upstairs in the room sleeping, he said'

Snow said with a smile as he wish to leave their present in an instant.

'Oh, well i guess we will see her in the morning'

Snow mother said

'A sleep over?'

He asked both in slight happiness and slight worries for it was a sudden announcement

'Yes snow, they are here for two days, your birthday just happened to be among my schedule meeting'

His father said trying to explain to him

'Stupid old man, you always do as you please ignoring what everyone wants'

Snow said in anger and left never to be seen all through the rest of the party.

Hours swept by like a duck been swept by the river current down the waterfall.

Snow had stayed at the garden house, laying on a neatly spread mantras and starring at the sky beyond the glassy ceiling, as a kid he loved flowers, they reminded him of his mother a lot and he comes into the garden almost everyday if he isnt taking care of it, he is laying there for relaxation.

The compound had maintain it peace as everyone present for the party had left for their homes leaving just the greengarden family in the living room seated upon the couch.

'It is late already, i should go get snow'

Snow dad said trying to make a move

'Speaking of snow, is he still like that?'

'Well, what can i say, he sure takes after his mother'

He smiled and sat back for a little bit of gist

'So when are you going to tell them of their origin?'

'I wish to tell them when they have come of age but i fear i might not be around till then'

'Is it regarding the matter at hand?'

AURORA mother asked parker as she felt worried

'Well yes, and as a piece of advice, i rather warn you two to be careful in the dungeon, especially when venturing into it with Aura'

'Is this one of your premonition?'

Mr philip asked in concern, aurora could do nothing but to sit and eaves drop on their conversation while playing around on the couch.

'You could say so, aside from that, we are far too deep to turn back, we are target for elimination'

Mr parker said in worries as he bottle that worries up with a smile, he stared at Aurora and pat her hair since she had cling to him all the time.

'I see, very well, how about you leave something behind if you fear for the worst'

'Yes i suggest we do so'

Aurora father spoke in support of his wife suggestion, upon staring at Aurora, her mother  gave a smile.

'Aurora could you go see what Snow is doing? I am sure he will be at the garden house'

Her mother said as her aim was to make aurora leave the room for private discussion, feeling reluctant she was then pat on her head by mr parker, his smile motivated her as she sat up from the cushion that had clench so tight to her b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s leaving a squeak sound that could be heard in the small vicinity.

Aurora walked to the front door and exited through the entrance while taking the longest route.

Minute came by with Aurora standing in a beautiful garden filled with luminous flowers radiated by the moon light.

'You could have knocked before getting in'

Snow said upon her arrival, hating the fact a stranger got into the garden pissed him off as  he sat upright from his sitting position, waiting to send who ever it was out.

' well the entrance was opened and i did call your name before entering '

'You are pretty bad at lying, so what do you want?'

Snow said in a retorted manner but was still nonchalant about it.

'I came to hang out'

'Hang out?'

Snow repeated the word that caught his attention the most while chuckling on it as he mocked her

'I am sure you were forced to come here in the first place, so do me the favour and get the hell out'

He said with a little high tone in his voice

'I dont want people that pretend as friends anyway'

He said as if murmuring to himself but was a little loud enough for Aurora to hear what he had said

'I guess that is the one thing we both could agree on, and seeing your repulsive altitude i guess you arent that bad'

She said, both stare at each other as if to smile but snow hates being the soft spot.

'Well my name is Aurora, AURORA GREENGARDEN and what is yours?'

As if to reject her form of introducing snow clicked his tongue and later gave a disappointed sigh.

Like being forced to introduce himself he broke the ice after his eyes could see nothing but an honest smile from the girl infront of him

'S-Snow, S-SNOW WEINSTEIN'

He said and pouted like a spoilt child being toyed with, Aurora couldnt stand for long as she decided to join snow on the spread mantras.

'Happy 4th year birthday snow, i am older than you by the way, i am 6, and learn to respect your elders'

'Well thanks, and shut the f*ck up, i need to sleep'

He said reprimanding her pride words as he got pissed and laid on the mantras.

She giggled and laid beside him, they both stayed and stared at the stars until they both slept off.

The morning sun came in like a mist, it rays hit them both in the garden with a soothing light, aurora cuddling snow as if protecting him from the sun rays as they both had been asleep

Both parent standing and smugging at each other for what was presented before them could only stood in peace as they had came to wake them up in the first place but decided to leave and not disturb their peaceful sleep.

'Are you sure it is right to make Aurora take upon this whole burden until snow become of age?

'My daughter will be fine, if anything i want you to promise me that you will make sure she is safe from the claws of YGGDRASIL'

Aurora mother spoke out of concern for her daughter As their plan has a great of risk than the eyes could see.

Upon returning to the building they both had woken up as if been awakened by an imaginary alarm clock.

'You sure know how to force yourself on someone dont you'

Snow said trying to make her feel remorse for having his pure body defiled by her cuddle.

'Well good morning to you too'

She said while trying to sit properly, arms aim for her eyes as they scrub gently trying to clear ways of moist for a proper view.

Snow stood up and stand to stare at the girl ones more.

The reflection from the sun had revealed the beauty of snows white iris, staring far at it looks like a cold icy moon stuck in the darkness, but in an up close look it looks like his iris was a galaxy it self, as it glows in the shaded eyes while his face been ravaged by the calm sunlight on his right side giving the rest of his body a dark shade.

Aurora who had sat dumbfounded after been lost in snow mesmerizing eyes instantly rush to snow to take a closer look.

'Snow, will you marry me?'

She said as if been under an illusion or mind control, her eyes were filled with happiness as they shined brighter, her face were sincerely happy as if to tell snow to say yes.

'Well if i get to inherit the greengarden wealth then yes'

Snow said trying to dissuade her delusional proposal, he knew she was just giving a lip service.

'Cmon, i dont really care about that, just say yes'

'Huh? Is your head under a truck or did you hit it somewhere or perhaps in your dream?'

Snow could barely comprehend her outburst of sincerity, her eyes widened like a cute puppy seeking a positive permission to play.

He felt a need to make her leave him alone so he took few steps backwards in disgust to her sudden addiction of him.

'You are creeping me out'

He said try to push her naughty face away with his right hand, upon impact snow had stood and in a stern manner as he had been surprised.

Apparently he could understand her thought just by touching her cheek, aurora had stood and stare at snow sudden change of reaction as he star at her after staring at his hand for few minute

'You are being serious, are you not?'

Snow said or rather asked her for he wanted to clarify her feelings towards him, he felt it would be proper to not have his feelings meddle with ulterior motives.

'Of course i am'

She said and upon her words came silent, snow felt reluctant, he wanted to make sure he isnt going to be used by a girl again, he needed to make sure even if he was to take a leap off a cliff it would be into a nice pool of water instead of a storming and Rocky river.

Snow walked towards a flower, it was crystal like and illuminated in blue and glitters, upon arriving at it he cut it by it stem. He took the flower and stood in front of Aurora, and just by thinking in his mind the flower soon shrank and the rest of it coiled up in circle leaving enough gap enough for a finger to slip through.

Snow had held Aurora left hand and placed the now made ring made from flower in aurora ring finger.

Aurora felt surprise by snow sudden change of action, he wasnt behaving anymore like a 4years old, or rather his actions far outgrown his age, ignoring all of that her heart skipped a beat as she could only stare at the flower ring in between her finger.

'Does that pleases you now?'

Snow said, he stood and stare at the lost Aurora who had just been admiring the ring.

'Yes it is'

She said like being placed on auto reply, upon realizing her situation she instantly regained her senses and smiled happily, lunching forward she hugged snow while compressing his face to her developing b.r.e.a.s.t.

Been carried away by her excitement she kissed snow on his cheek, which brought back snow to his senses as well.

'You are just too naughty for my liking '

He said as he could barely escape her hugs after putting lots of resisting manner of body language.

Minutes later came the two walking into the house holding each other hands while aurora blushed her faced out.

Upon arriving at the living room which had the two parent sitting, white had excited gotten their attention while SHELLEY having white sit on her l.a.p.

'Hey mom, i got engaged'

She said while trying to show off to her parent.

'O-oh? I never knew you actually liked him to that extent, even though you both met yesterday'

Her father said trying to mock her as if to say 'i told you you will like him' but smugged afterwards.

Upon staring at her fingers her parents were surprised at the beauty of the ring as if far looked beautiful than even her mother wedding ring.

'Hey husband'

Shelly said while menacing at her husband

'Y-yes honey?'

His tone of words shiver like someone being scared of a scary woman trying to turn the house upside down from rage

'Our daughter ring sure looks way more expensive than the one you claim to buy for §20 million, you know, snow is just a kid, he his just a kid, yet he his making me feel jealous for my daughter!!'

She was angry but nonchalantly putting on an evil smile, her rage towards her husband sent chills of millions of volt down his spines that shook his being while seated and trying to appease her like and angry goddess.

'Calm down SHELLEY, i promise, i will get you a very attractive one when we get home'

He said as he pleaded to his wife while dripping sweat all over his body.

Snow father sat in a serious manner as if being certain about something.

'Snow, are you sure it is alright to let her have her?'

Snow who had stood beside aurora with lack of emotion stood just to shake his head as if giving a positive concern towards his father worries.

'Very well snow, if that is your decision then i shall let you have it your way'

His father said while scrubbing his head a bit.

'Is something wrong?'

SHELLEY asked out of concern

'No dear, it is just that what aura is wearing on her finger is just not any flower'

His words gave them a sense of surprise.

'You see, that flower has a will of it own, and she is quite addicted to snow and her mother, it was given to snow at birth, for protection sake, and for snow to to make her stay with Aurora then...'

As if solving a clue his head sparked with shock as he stared at snow

'Snow, how long have you stayed without your contact lense?'

'Since yesterday'

He responded and walked towards the stairs

'I will go get it, if it is bothering you'

Snow felt angered at his father sudden question again

'It is fine snow, you dont have to, since Aurora is still standing here in one piece'

Upon hearing that world snow got angrier, he hated the fact his father always think of him as some sort of monster

'Why do you always say that, do you think i will kill just because I didn't use the contact lense?'

His father got surprised and sad for he had made his son thought about something he was hoping he would forget

'You are always like that, "dont forget to use your contact lense today, we are having a visitor" "remember to use your contact lense before we go to the city" "did you use your eye drops today? I thought i told you to" you always say those things after that accidents, am i that monstrous looking to you?'

His angry words quiver, his eyes let out a sorrowful tears as if nobody actually liked him.

'S-snow, i, i didn't mean it like that'

'Dont you dare pretend to me dad'

Snow said as he got disappointed trying to walk up the stairs he wiped his face with his dry cloths.

'Not like you care to have a son like me anyways'

He said and walked up the stairs leaving behind everyone and his father who was now standing out of concern for his child emotion.

'I guess i have ruined his day again'

His father said and sat in disappointment, everyone being silent could do nothing but stare at white who had left SHELLEY care and decided to go up the stairs as well.

'Is there something you need to tell us, parker?'

Philip said as they all sat while having Aurora sat between her parent.

'You see, snow started showing signs of abilities similar to his mother, apparently he could see the future of anyone he touches and share them to whom he had touched if he wishes...'

As if been surprised by a sudden announcement they all sat speechlessly with a jaw drop

'He also has other abilities, which i am not sure of but among those abilities he can rewrite reality as he wishes, that was my concern'

Parker stared at Aurora

'I am sure as we speak he had already rewritten reality just for her sake'

'For aurora?'

SHELLEY questioned as she was still confused

'Aurora is also the name of that flower, she only shows her true self when there is an Aurora, past record says the flower is medicinal and can cure any sickness, other says it could cure those even at the boundaries of death, some worshiped her as a goddess and thus giving it a meaning, due to her miraculous and healing and protective affinities she was given another name, Soteria'

'In our world she is just a flower, but in her world she is the queen and a goddess of protection, when i mean snow had rewritten reality for Aurora sake i mean just that, i believe snow had given Aurora a trial'

'Which he had made sure she is protected'

Aurora could say nothing but stare at the flower, it was now like a blue crystallized rose, her thought flew here and there as she wonder why such a valuable thing was given to her.

'Well now let get ready for breakfast, i shall prepare what we eat, so how about you two keep your self entertained'

Leaving the greengarden family behind he left for the kitchen, aurora also left her parent behind as she had decided to go up the stair to play with white and snow.
