Aurora took the chocolate and bit a small piece off. She leaned against his side and looked up at the starry sky. "Wow... at home we couldn't see the stars very well..." She mused. She pointed up to the sky, "There's Venus. It's called the Evening Star cause it's usually the first thing you see when the sun is setting." She pointed up now, "Ursa Major.... and Ursa Minor." She smiled. "See them?" She asked excitedly and bit another piece of chocolate off.

Mark watched where she pointed. "Y-y-yes I see them." He said, as he ate the chocolat. He did spot Venus, and thought he could make out the two Ursa but he was probably wrong. He sat right next to her and gave Aurora a kiss on the neck, inhaling the air around her shoulders. He looked back up the sky, and brought his arm around her back. "I sadly still have to make that phone cal...." He mumbled to himself.

Aurora closed her eyes and a small smile teased her lips when he kissed her neck. A small shiver tickled her back and she looked at him. "You... Could go make the call now. I'll clean up here and put everything back in the basket." She suggested. Aurora put one arm around his back and lightly rubbed his shoulder. "I'll be waiting." She smiled, moved away from him slightly and began to put the dishes back into the basket.

Mark gave her a kiss on the forehead, and he walked away, just out of the distance of hearing of Aurora. He made the phone call, he was worried, but he hid it well when he came back, his cyan eyes seeking hers, a happy smile hiding the small fear that was growing in his belly. He sat down, and asked her: "Tell me more about the stars..." He gently said. He lay his head down on her legs, looking right up the shiney black sky.

Aurora lightly brushed her fingers through his hair. She glanced down at him briefly, then looked back at the sky. "Stars... are curious things. They.. aren't exactly alive... See... the ones you see are dying or dead... And the new ones are much to small to see... Hard to believe thousands of years ago all these stars were in a different position in the sky..." Her eyes scanned the sky once more. "Oh! You have.. Draco the dragon near ursa minor..." She muttered, then pointed to the area. "In ursa minor, you have Polaris, the north star... You can always find your directions if you can find it.... It's the brightest star in the sky after Venus has gone... And you can always see Venus and Mars... Planets.. they... don't sparkle like the stars... They kind of... have a steady glow... Mars is slightly red." She explained further. "You see that area that looks kind of cloudy?" She asked and pointed to it stretching across the sky.

"Yeah I see it...do you think heaven is up there, in the starfull sky?" Mark asked. "I often dream of heaven, such a peacefull dream...and then I met my angel." He looked at Aurora, a blissful smile apeared once more. "I bet you have some interesting stories...men must have done things to try and win over the love of a beauty like you..."

Aurora laughed softly. "And I am glad to have found my Prince." She stated as she looked down into his bright eyes. "No... Darren always kept them at bay... You're the first one he let get close to me." She giggled softly, her emerald orbs taking in his face in the star-light. "We've had a war go on outside the pub... That's the new remodeled pub you saw. I've thrown many people out... Been in a few fights with drunk people..." She thought for a few moments. "No... I never impressed anyone enough for them to try and win my love. They only saw the hard, bartender trying to keep her bar together." She chuckled slightly.

Mark laughed. "Then I have found the soft angel in you."He giggled. "My girl beat up drunkards." He was laughing. How could the gentle Aurora throw out drunken thugs? He had a hard time imagining it. "Did you do any martial arts?" He asked playfully. He brought a hand up to play with her hair, as he turned to watch her, and not the sky.

Aurora smiled and laughed softly. She leaned down and let her lips graze his. She sat back up, "No, I didn't. But, remember... I lived on a farm... I had to deal with heavy equipment and animals... not to mention in school I got into a lot of fights..." She blushed and looked up at the sky. "I was nothing sweet in school... And I somehow still managed to make it in the top 10." She giggled. "Hard to picture me being violent, isn't it? That's what everyone thought when they decided to pick a fight with me." She laughed, then looked back down at Mark; her eyes dancing with amusement.

Mark laughed. "Well, I now know better then to pick a fight with you." He slowly got up, and helped Aurora up. "I am getting slightly tierd. How about we go sleep...?" He asked, as he picked up the bascket. He layed it down, and gave Aurora a long hug. He didn't pull back, and lay his head on her shoulder. "I love you."

Aurora blinked and slowly brought her arms up. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around him. "I love you too, Mark." She smiled. She turned and pecked his cheek. Aurora lightly rubbed his back, then rested her head on his shoulder.

Mark reluctantly pulled back from the hug. "Mosquitoes are coming..." He groaned, as he got the basket and brought his arm around Aurora for the walk back home. He let Aurora open the door, his two hands were busy. He laid the basket in the kitchen, and mumbled about taking care of it tomorrow. He escorted Aurora upstairs, and he went to the bathroom to change.He went to the bed, he looked at her and smiled. But tonight...he was exhausted, and fell into a deep sleep.

Aurora changed and did her tolietries after he finished. She walked back into the room, running her hand through her hair and looked at him sleeping on the bed. Aurora slowly walked over to the bed, sat down, softly got under the covers, scooted to him and laid her head down next to his. She lightly nuzzled into his back, then fell into a slumber.

The next morning, Mark was woken up by his cellphone. He quickly picked it up before it awakened Aurora, and ran downstairs. He answered a couple of nods to the phone, worried nobs. After several minutes, Mark ran back upstairs and pull out a bag that was pre-packed. He added a few clothes, the toiletries. He let the bag on the floor and dressed himself. He quickly woke up Aurora. "Quickly! get up! We have to go! Now! Gogogo!" He was not shouting or yelling, but there was an urgency in his voice. "Well get breakfast on the way, but we have to go, ASAP." He ran downstairs and took a backpack, it was also full and pre-packed. He put it on, and again asked for Aurora to hurry up. "We are leaving, for Switzerland. Then, we go to Moscow, as promised. Sorry your stay in Austria was short...Quite sorry about it myself."

Aurora's eyes quickly snapped open the first warning she received. She slowly registered the urgency in his voice, then shot up. She looked around, threw the blankets off her. She grabbed her suitcase, quickly changed, threw her dirty clothes in the bag and pulled it with her. "Switzerland...?" She asked. her body seemed to be functioning on its own. Her mind was still half-asleep; despite the expression of being wide-awake on her face. She was still in a daze, too tired to register what was going on; too preoccupied to ask why they had to move. She left the room and briskly made her way to his car.

"Hurry! Or we will miss the plane!" Mark continued to say, as he took the bags and put them in the trunk of the car. He got to the drivers seat and started the car, he didn't bother to lock the door or anything. He just drove to the airport, and fast. Tires screeching, he stopped, parking perfectly. "Your car will be sent to the pub in the USA." He said as he picked up the bags and led her through the customs and to the plane. He let her sit down first, on the window seat. "I'm sorry for that rather abrupt morning...but I almost forgot we had the plane." He was lying, but was definitely good at hiding his body-language. He was calm now, and relaxed. "So...breakfast? I ordered some croissants to be sent over here. This is first class, after all."

Aurora buckled up and looked at Mark. She was finally up and aware of her surroundings for the first time that morning. "Croissants...?" She asked, then blinked. She looked around and blushed. "First class..." She muttered then sunk down in her seat, slightly blushing. She felt completely out of place. She let her eyes drift to the window and gazed out.

"Ouf...rough morning for Aurora." Mark thought, as the croissants came over, he ordered two cups of coffee, and watched the hostess leave. He reached over to Aurora's hand...They were safe, and they would not find them Switzerland. The take-off began....And Mark forgot he didn't buy chewing gums. He squeezed Aurora's hand, and closed his eyes.

Aurora looked at Mark and frowned. She sat up and laid her head on his shoulder. "It'll be ok..." She quickly sat up and pulled her purse up into her lap with her freehand. "Just one second, I have gum, Mark." She stated quickly. She reached into a side pocket and pulled a pack out. She managed to get a stick of gum out, unwrapped it and held it up to his mouth.

Mark bit the chewing gum and began to eat it furiously. He began to relax when the plane finished the take-off, but he was still suspicious. He often looked in the alleys, and was fidling around with his fingers. He started a movie in the small television screen in front of him, trying to relax. He ate two croissants, and just gulped down a few mugs of coffee.
