Ariana went to visit her dad in the hospital and found him looking healthier than ever. She didn't let tears come to her face, rather she would make the best of the situation. She switched on her data and checked N*****x, praying earnestly that it works. To their surprise, it displayed movies that she could d******d and she was elated. "Dad, would you like to watch a movie?" She asked. "Yea. Any comedy would be okay" Her dad replied hoarsely. She called a nurse and together, they changed his laying position so he could watch the movie. Together they both laughed as they watched the movie. Mark felt guilty, all those years he spent drinking, if he had invested it in her, she wouldn't be this way. He would neither be dying nor would she be a maid. Tears came to his eyes as he stared at the gem he calls his daughter. She looked so much like her mother. When it was getting late, Ariana stood up. She bade her father goodbye, he felt midst as she left but she promised to visit h
After school, Ariana walked out immediately. She saw Brooklyn run after her but she didn't want to create any scene so she ignored him and entered the bus. Brooklyn was surprised when she ignored him, they were on good terms so why would she ignore him?. He walked back to the park and saw Ella, Shantel and Candy talking in hushed tones but they dispersed when he came. Shantel and Candy walked past him without sparing him a glance, while Ella looked angry, she got into the car and he drove off. Ariana got to the hospital, holding a basket of fruits, as she walked cheerfully to her dad's ward. She greeted her dad, who looked frail. He responded weakly and she handed him an apple. "Here dad, I brought your favourite" She said happily. Her dad collected it and took a bite weakly. She noticed the way he closed his eyes and opened them with a groan. Something in her guts told her he didn't have many days left. She sat down beside him and wanted to read a story to her but he stoppe
It has been two days now and Ariana isn't awake, Charlotte cried each passing day and Austin had stopped talking. He went to the kitchen and saw images of Ariana when she was cooking. He left for his room his eyes drifted to the large basket of clothes and he remembered the way she held unto his shirt. He sighed angrily and went to the gymnasium. He tried lifting weights but his thoughts kept drifting to Ariana. What was wrong with him?. Why couldn't he do anything without seeing Ariana's face?. Angrily, he left the house for school. He went to Bradley's office and met him kissing Mrs Williams. "Uhh hmm" He coughed and they disengaged immediately, Mrs Williams left the office while Bradley looked embarrassed. "O... It's not what you think" Bradley stutters, buttoning his shirt. "Save your explanation. Why would you admit Dray Anderson without my permission?" Austin asked sitting on the chair. "He's my cousin and you were caught up in lots of things so I don't want to bother yo
Ariana found herself in the forest beside her parent's house. A man stood opposite her. He wasn't human, he had pointed ears, long canines and fangs. "Come with me and I'll take you to your mother" The man said and Ariana was confused. "Wh...who are you?" She questioned with fear. "I'm your mother's friend, we are both the same creatures, DEMONS" He declared with a laugh. She couldn't see his face clearly and she wondered why. "Where is my mom?" She inquired with curiosity. "Your mom is in the underground world, never to come to earth again but you have the powers to visit her and return to earth, whenever you wish" Dracula explained. "That's not true, my mom is dead and she's a human and so am I" Ariana replied with uncertainty. "You aren't human and you know it, come with me child. Your mom never had the opportunity I'm offering to you" Dracula announced, stretching his hand. "No, I'm human and Earth is where I belong" Ariana refused, shaking her head. "No, you don't belong
I got to school and as usual, everyone stared at me. "I heard she uses a Samsung galaxy" A girl muttered. "Yeah, her dresses are different now" Another said.I walked to class and everyone stared at me like they'd seen a ghost. I walked to my seat and Barbie came to seat on Dave's seat. "Finally, you're back. Did you make enough money or you would keep skipping school?" Barbie mocked. I ignored her and brought out my phone, I started playing a game and it infuriated Mia. "Look slut, when Barbie talks to you, you need to show some respect if you don't wanna experience what miserable means" Ava said holding my hair. I winced in pain. "Let go of my hair!" I yelled but she held it tighter. "Let go of her hair now" Austin, who had come to spy on Ariana said, making everyone murmur. "Austin this commoner is disrespectful" Ava said as she released my hair. I was surprised, wasn't he always taking sides with anyone that bullied me?. Austin walked away, ignoring Ava and Barbie grew f
Austin I got to the courthouse and met everyone assembled with Mr Carlos ranting. "You can't expel my daughter" Mr Carlos shouted. I sat in my seat at the top of the table. "Why did you call his meeting, is there anything important to discuss?" I asked angrily. "It is about Barbie" The shaman said calmly. "Yes, I expelled her, is there any problem?" I asked looking at the fuming Mr Carlos. "Why would you expel my daughter because of a commoner?!" Mr Carlos shouted standing up. "I expelled her because she defiled the rules. She had defiled the rules several times and I've overlooked those times but not anymore. Doesn't she understand what's written in the rules?" I asked arrogantly looking at Mr Carlos. "I said it then, you should never have been made Alpha. Brooklyn should have been made Alpha!" Mr Carlos shouted and half the court members nodded with approval. Stupid hypocrites. "Well if that's what you want, You're free to create another pack. I don't give a fuck if you d
Donald left school and went to 'burger it all', where he met Charlotte speaking with a lad. Anger burned inside of him when he saw her smile at the guy. He walked to where they were and coughed. Charlotte stared at him awkwardly. "Why would he be here?" She thought. "Hi, I'm Donald and you are?" Donald inquired, taking the boy's hand. "Dave" The boy, who was Charlotte's classmate answered. "Wow, she has a crush on this ugly looking guy" Donald thought. "Since you're busy, I'll leave you both" Donald said leaving angrily. "What was he thinking by trying to help her?" Donald fumed within. "Was he angry?. He did look angry" Charlotte thought as she ran after Donald. "Donald wait up ...wait!" She yelled as he walked faster. "What the fuck is wrong?. Is anything wrong with Ariana?" Charlotte asked, blocking him from entering the car. "Pardon me for interrupting. I'm sorry for being a burden" Donald said. "No, you're not" Charlotte retorted. "Who is that guy?. Wasn't he the Dave
"He called you pretty" Ariana said niggling her friend who was frozen. "Is this a dream or am I hallucinating?" Charlotte asked, staring into space. "It's real girl, let's open the gift, though people would stare" Ariana said shaking the box which she placed beside her ear. "Hmm... It's a big diamond ring, a long love note and a little rose petal" Ariana teased and Charlotte collected the box from her. "No, I'll open it later or probably return it" Charlotte declared and Ariana opened her eyes widely. "Return it?. No..no no, you're doing no such thing. He's rich, so it means little for him to give out a gift" Ariana asserted. "No, I just don't feel comfortable with collecting gifts from him" Charlotte mumbled and Ariana smiled. "Okay.. Everyone's watching you, hand over the gift so I'll keep it safe" Ariana said with a mischievous grin. Charlotte looked at her suspiciously. "No, I'll keep it in my bag" Charlotte replied, throwing the box into her bag. A teacher came in and the
