Author's Note: Sorry mine is a bit long! I've had this concept in my head for a while and I thought now will be the prefect time to do so <3
Dubbed in real life "The Sleeping Beauty" by many, Aurora Aniela Toussaint is arguable a strange twist on the European folktale. Many flocks to her mausoleum glaze upon the 200-year-old beauty that lays peacefully in her glass coffin. It is unknown why she is so well preserved. Many scientists will try and argue that it took a precise embalming technique. However, others will say that there is something supernatural about her perversion. She has been studied many times, which has led to findings such as an X-ray showing her organs are still ideally interacted after 200 years. Many also claim to witness a phenomenon in which Aurora will slightly open her eyes, revealing her cloudy blue-gray eyes. Many people will debunk these claims by saying it's an optical illusion produced by a simple trick of the lighting in the mausoleum. Despite the debunking, people who witness her blink stand by their claims.
According to legend, Aurora Aniela Toussaint was a french Nobel. Despite the Nobel's upbringing, very little is recorded of her life while she lived in France. The only things that are recorded of her was that she was born into the Toussaint family and, according to medical records, she died from pneumonia just shy of her 6th birthday. This paperwork baffles historians since other medical records claim she was alive at ages 15 and 18. There are many theories created by historians to explain this, such as a doctor mistakenly writing she passed away when in reality she did not, or she did die but was replaced by an imposter who when on to use her name.
Going off other historical accounts, she, later on, traveled to America due to her own for unknown reasons. It is there, according to local legend she met a man by the name of Grimm, who was an occultist with seemingly supernatural abilities. He seemed to have fallen head over heels in love with Aurora citing a dream he had as a child, which consisted of his dead mother showing him a woman that bore a striking resemblance to Aurora. In his dream, his mother told him he would go on to marry this girl, and she will change his life significantly. Aurora was rumored to have supernatural powers, and brewed potions for locals in need which many presume is what she and Grimm bonded over. However, despite their bond and no matter how much he tried, Aurora never seemed to fall for him as much as he did her and instead cited him more as an instructor than anything else.
Aurora would later meet two other local witches named Talisha and Valerie. According to the legend, it was then rumored that Valerie and Aurora fell in love with each other slowly but surely. As soon as Grimm found out about this relationship, he was furious, and he vowed to himself he would somehow get back at the wicked temptress and make his sweet Aurora fall in love with him.
Due to his promise, he called on a demon to make a deal with. Once Grimm summoned the devil, he offered Grimm that he would get his revenge if he sold his soul to him and vowed to the demon no matter what, he would become the 7th chamber demon of hell. Hungry for his revenge, Grimm accepted the trade.
After this deal, two local girls fell ill, which a doctor proposed was the under the work of a vengeful witch who cursed the girls. Accusations flew around in the town once this claim was made public, the highest accuser being Grimm which everyone believed to his knowledge of occultism. He would then accuse Valerie of this crime which left Aurora heartbroken.
Despite her heartbroken state, she was still a wise woman as she sat in her home making a sleep potion that would act as a poison and put her under a death-like sleep until she awoke from her slumber. Grimm then stormed into her house, proposing she would love him or face the wrath of what the town would do to her if he accused her. She chose the latter.
Under these accusations, she was taken off to prison and placed in a shared cell with her true love. Aurora then promised she and Valerie would be together one day, even in death. She then produced to drink the potion she had on her and fell limp as her heart at once stopped beating.
Valerie then screamed and cried out to the guards that her love was dead, and when they saw Aurora state, they immediately attended to her, fearing that if one of the witches died, the girls would forever be under their curse. Valerie took this distraction of guards to escape, which she did, and ran off into the woods, never to be seen again. The only thing they found nearby that could have been a sign of her was a blood-red river that still runs that color to this day.
Once news broke to the town that this event had happened, Grimm was regretful for causing his true love's demise like this. He knew deep down he would regret making a deal with a devil-like this. He supposedly commissioned the mausoleum and the same glass coffin she lays in, spraying no expense on detailing it to his very liking. He believed Aurora had an entrenching beauty about her that every man and woman should bear witness to; after the commission was finished to his liking, he finally when to hell willing with the demon he made a deal with.
To this day, the authenticity of this story is highly debated among locals, historians, and scientists alike. However, one thing is for sure about this case. Recently, two tourists visited the mausoleum where the body is located and found the glass coffin open along with the body of Aurora missing. Police searched for it in the sundering areas, but no evidence turned up. Despite the reward, no one has yet to come forward with any information on where the body may have been found. It was as if Aurora herself had disappeared into thin air just like her lover had...
