Twice the Fun - Part 29

Aurora King


Time was running out, and I felt as if I was punched in the stomach. No, no, NO! Nothing has happened to Air. Nothing! I urged the words to be true, but I knew that I had no power over words to turn to actions.
“What’s wrong, Aurora?” Natalie asked in her delicate voice. I felt all the hope go out of me like a balloon being popped. It was there, but then someone took a needle and pressed it against me, and…
“Air,” I swallowed and closed my eyes to prevent the tears. “She’s not here. We have to find her.”
“It’s okay, Aurora.” Natalie seemed to know that I was on the verge of breaking down. “We’ll find her and get out of here.” she assured me.
One sob was all it took. One sob that escaped from my throat, and then was followed by many. As I wept, Natalie was suddenly in the room and was hugging me tightly, while whispering the words that you always whispered when you were comforting someone. She said a lot of “It’s going to be alright”s and “Shh…we’re going to be fine”s.
“Aurora, we have to go find Ariana. Come on,” Natalie finally said.
I wiped my eyes and nodded, embarrassed. “Yeah,”
She smiled at me. It was the pity-smile. Do you see why I always kept my emotions to myself? I hated the pity-smile. It made me feel so stupid. I don’t want your pity! I thought about saying, but I figured that I would loose my only friend I had at the moment.
The only person I trusted.
We moved out of the confined space and into the hallway. We turned left, since I had went right the first time and I knew that Air didn’t go that way. As we swam down the hall cautiously, I thought about home, and how I missed my mom, my dad, my brothers and sisters--even Janie, the one that put up a barrier around herself that no one could get inside. In truth, I admired her. She was always my idol growing up as a child, even though she despised me. She always kept her emotions in check and never let them leak. When everyone was panicked, she was just calm and stood there...almost as if she was in shock.
Over the years, I had developed her abilities to block people out and stay isolated from everyone else--even my twin sister didn’t really know the real me. I always kept my thoughts to myself, afraid people wouldn’t accept me for who I was. Who I am. Who I will be.
“Ariana?” Natalie called out, breaking my thoughts and bringing me back into the present. “Are you there?” We swam around a bend in the hallway, and I saw Air--but she wasn’t looking at us.
I was horrified at what I saw. She was just staring at the blank, white wall. Not blinking, not moving, not doing anything! Ariana may as well as been a stone statue. Her eyes held unshed tears and complete terror. Whatever Air went through, she was traumatized. Her face was still and hard, unyielding to let anyone know what she witnessed. Her arms were limp at her side, and her lips were tightly locked. It must have been painful, because some blood was mixing in the water around her from her teeth digging in to the outer edge. Tears threatened to escape from my own eyes. I had never seen her like this. It was if the life was sucked out of her, never to return.
“Air?” I whispered. “What happened? Why are you like this?” A dark thought crept into my mind, and rage filled my veins then. “Who did this to you?” I gritted my teeth to keep from growling. If the mermaid who posed to be Mrs. Aquatic did this to Air, I would rip her apart.
I paused. Who am I anymore? What has possessed me, that I would think about murder?! I shuddered. No longer was I an innocent 12 year old.
Ariana didn’t even shift her eyes. She had made no movement what-so-ever. I was about to cry, when I remembered my wall. My wall that I had worked so hard to build up around myself. I had spent all my life building the wall, and I have already damaged it by crying in front of Natalie.
“Ariana, we need to get out of here. You don’t have to tell us what happened, but I suggest that we move fast to avoid it happening again.” Natalie said.
Ariana broke out of her shellshock and stared at us, examining us as if we were fine specimens under a magnifying glass. She looked perplexed. Never had I seen her like this.
Once again, for the millionth time that day, I wondered if we would ever be the same again after this week.
I dared myself to wonder if we would even exist after this week.

Remembering Oreo

      As you know, Oreo has died. If you didn't know, and you are overwhelmed by the shock, just click this link here and you can read the post I made about the piggies. Anyway, I have made a video and uploaded it to YouTube for you guys. The video has the pictures with Oreo that I showed you, plus some more information about Oreo. Here it is:


Just ignore the watermark. :/ It is really large, which I don't understand! But anywho, just watch the video and you can say your goodbyes to Oreo Cookie. :')

True Beauty

    Hello there! It has been too long since I have made a post like this, and I am ashamed of that fact. People have been asking me why my blog is named Lord's Girls if I don't even mention the Lord in most of my posts. I am really sorry! I didn't even realize I was doing this until you guys said something! Thank you so much for snapping me out of my ignorance! :) But anyway, today I am doing a post on "True Beauty". Does anyone even know what that means? I don't blame you, because our society doesn't really talk about it that much. Oh sure, we talk about beauty enough to make my ears bleed, but we don't really talk about the real meaning of beauty. First, let's go to dictionary.com and look up the definition of beauty.
  1. the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful   design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are   manifest).
  2. a beautiful person, especially a woman.
  3. a beautiful thing, as a work of art or a building.
So there is that. Seems legit, right? What does God say about beauty? 


1 Peter 3: 3-4 "Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious."







Proverbs 31: 30 "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."







Did you just read that?! God says that charm is deceitful and beauty is vain! WHAT?! Better yet, read this following verse:







Matthew 6: 28 "And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin..."


Hmm...what does THAT mean? Well, I'm no expert on translations, but the lilies are beautiful, right? Well, imagine yourself as a lily. You grow and you grow and you become more lovely as God's love forms around you. Do you get it now? You need to NOT be all obsessed about what to wear or how to make your face "pretty" with makeup.

YOU are truly beautiful. Maybe you don't think you are physically, but if you follow God's will, you will be spiritually.



This post is making me cry because I am so PASSIONATE about this. Here's one to make you laugh or smile, or maybe both:

Did you know that we spend more than 8 BILLION DOLLARS on cosmetics in JUST THE UNITED STATES?! That is more than the whole world's money spent on basic education. The WHOLE WORLD! The whole world spends only $6 billion on basic education for all. Doesn't that make you cry?

It truly is. It truly is.

Don't become one of those people who make the bruises. Be the person who helps them through their life. That shows Christ's love. That stays there for them no matter what.

If you have any questions, or if you would like to tell me your problems or testimonies, I swear I will read them and respond to you. You are not alone. I will be there for you. If you don't feel comfortable with commenting, and I'm sure you won't, just email me at lordsgirls.blogspot.com@gmail.com. Remember:

I love you, but that isn't worth as much as God loving you. And no matter what you have done or have felt, he loves you SO much. :)

Epic Reads Tag!



     Hello girls! It's been awhile since I've done a post that isn't a award, video, or Twice the Fun. I'm going to change that soon. But for now, I have been awarded the Epic Reads Tag from Sarah about 10 days ago, so I figured that I better do it. ;) I have a feeling this is going to brighten my mood for today! :D
      Sarah said that this was originally supposed to be a video, but that some people where doing this on there blogs, so I'm going to do the same.

So here we go with the questions and my answers!

1. If you could invite one author and one of their fictional character to tea, who would you invite and what would you serve them?
  I would invite the wonderful Cassandra Clare, and her character Tessa from The Infernal Devices. I would serve them blueberry flavored tea and also blueberry muffins with a crumble on top.

2. What book do you wish an author would write a prequel for?
  I really wish that Stephanie Meyer, author of Twilight, could write a prequel about Edward and his life before he met Bella. I have just started reading Twilight last week, and I am on the 2nd book called "New Moon" currently. I really don't understand why there is so much hate on Twilight. It's actually really good so far. :D

3. What two characters (NOT from the same book) would make a good couple?
 I think that Gale from Hunger Games and Izzy from Mortal Instruments would be a good couple. Izzy and Gale are both a little reckless and have a forceful nature about them.

4. If you ran into your favorite author on the subway and only could say on sentence to them, who is it and what would it be?
 My fantasy would be to run into Cassandra Clare. The one sentence I would say to her would be, "Please don't kill Tessa or Jem in the next series!" ;) Btw, they are my favorite characters from the Infernal Devices.

5. What book made you a reader and why?
 I don't remember what book that "officially" made me want to read.

6. Incendio! Your bookshelf just caught on fire! What is the one book you would save?
 I would save "The Hunger Games", which is the first book.

7. Which dystopian world would you want to live in and why?
  I would want to live in the Divergent world, because it is interesting to me what people would go through to see their factions stay together.

8. What is your most Epic Read of all time?
 :D Definitely The Mortal Instruments!
