My Way To You

"You were summoned and you"re not a bad person . " Vasu stated matter-of-factly . "But I was taken away from the church . " Ariana replied . "And she was kicked out of her family . " Vasu reminded her . Ariana tightened her grip around Vasu . "Can I trust them, the Dabneys?" Ariana asked as her body started to tremble . "That"s your choice . Not mine . " Vasu replied . "I don"t know . " Ariana whispered as she tried to fight back the tears that started to well up in her eyes, she could feel the anxiety taking a hold of her throat . It was suffocating, she didn"t want to keep any more things bottled up . "You don"t? How strange . " Vasu said as he pulled himself out of Ariana"s embrace .

Ariana looked up and saw that Vasu was moving away from her . "Where are you going?" She called out . Vasu turned around and looked at her in confusion . "To the Dabneys . " He said before turning back around and floated away . Ariana chased after Vasu just as he picked up speed . "Why are you going back?! I don"t know what to think of them!" Ariana shouted as she ran after him . "You may not know but I have my own opinion and they need to be kept safe . " Vasu shouted as he started to glow brighter . Suddenly he turned into his stag form and was on the ground running .

"Vasu! Wait! What do you mean?!" Ariana shouted, she refused to lose sight of him and continued to run as fast as she could . "You"re indecisive, so why care?" Vasu asked loudly as he galloped . "The husband is dying in front of his child . While the wife is helpless . All you care about is yourself, you doubt and refuse to see what is in front of you . I"m done, I will do what I want . " Vasu said firmly as he slowed down his pace to a trot before he completely stopped . They were now in front of the Dabneys bungalow .

"No your wrong! I care! I do care! They have been nothing but wonderful people! I"m just scared, scared that I will be betrayed, scared that I will be used, scared that I can not get out of this demented form of thinking that no matter what happens I have to grin and bare it! I have to stay positive because if I don"t, I will one day wake up and just end my own life! I"m done being used, I"m done not having the love I care! I"m done being abused! I"m done with my family! I don"t want to go back to the old me, being all alone all the time! I . . . I just want to live a normal life! I just want to be loved for who I am! I want to live!" Ariana shouted into the air as giant tears rolled down her face .

"What the h.e.l.l is going on?!" Mr . Dabney shouted as he swung open the door . Ariana looked at Mr . Dabney and dropped to her knees . "I thought you were dying!" Ariana cried loudly . "A little banged up but I will be fine . " Mr . Dabney said as he walked slowly towards Ariana . He had been already treated but Ariana could still see through her blurred vision that his bruises were severe . They looked like they were a week old but she saw him that morning .

Half his face was just slightly swollen, his left eye was not completely shut or black but brown and semi swollen . He had a walking cast on his right foot and his left arm was in a sling . "I"m so sorry I didn"t trust you! I"m an awful person for trying to leave you guys! You are not bad people!" Ariana cried as more tears spilled . "The feeling was mutual . " Mr . Dabney said as he held out his right hand . "So, I"m sorry too . " He said pitifully . Ariana started to brush back her tears, refusing to take Mr . Dabney"s hand . "Come on honey . I can"t pick you up so you have to meet me half way . " Mr . Dabney urged gently . Ariana nodded her head and grabbed Mr . Dabney"s hand . With care Mr . Dabney helped Ariana up .

Ariana couldn"t stop crying, Mr . Dabney pulled her into an embrace and justed waited . Ariana cried her heart out for what seemed like a life time . After some time Ariana pulled out of the embrace . Mr . Dabney beamed at her . "I"m so sorry . " Ariana gave him a confused looked . "Why?" She asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice . "I looked, you"re a good person . " Mr . Dabney said with a wide grin . Ariana pushed him back and hugged herself as she glowed a bright red from head to toe . "Are you sure?" She asked bashfully . "Come inside . " Mr . Dabney chuckled as he slowly turned and walked back to the bungalow .

"Mad?" Vasu asked as he changed back into his chibi form . Ariana grabbed Vasu and pinched his chubby cheeks . "You"re mean!" She shouted as she pulled his cheeks in opposite directions, stretching Vasu out . "But thank you . . . I needed that . " Ariana whispered . "No more regrets . " Vasu said when Ariana let go of his face . "No more regrets . I will live the way I want to now . "

"Good . " Vasu said as he moved to his favourite spot . Ariana hugged Vasu gently as she walked towards the Dabney bungalow . "Vasu . . . No matter what you hear please don"t hate me . " Ariana said apologetically . Vasu snuggled his face against Ariana"s arm . He didn"t give her an answer but his loving action rea.s.sured Ariana"s heart . She said she was going to live how she wanted but she was still worried about those close to her . She laughed at herself in her heart . It was going to take time to change .

"Ariana . . . If you every have a bad day . . . Please come find me or Roselyn . Don"t be by yourself . There are people who care about you . " Mr . Dabney said awkwardly as he kept his gaze in front of him . He didn"t want to make the situation anymore awkward and couldn"t bare to turn around . Ariana could feel another wave of tears well up . She hugged Vasu as she brought him closer to her chin . "Thank you . " She answered in a small voice . Mr . Dabney coughed before walking through the open door . "As long as you know . I don"t want my wife killing me now that she found someone she can confide in . " He said bashfully . "Mmmh . " Ariana said as she calmed down . "Me too . "
