My Way To You

"Don"t listen to this geezer. Let"s make a deal if you hold your end we"ll meet again." Ariana said as she looked at Gregory. "Did your memory," Gregory started to ask but the voice interrupted him. "So looks like you won." Ariana looked around then spotted a trail of grain like flames started to come out of Gregory"s body.

"You..." Ariana said as a flood of memories rushed in. Gregory and her got in to an argument, she wanted to start the attack but Gregory refused. When she asked why Gregory had admitted that he had seen her as a precious family member. That her actions were too reckless and she wasn"t only hurting herself but also the ones closest to her. That she should at least think of her mother before she committed suicide. 

"This fellow is becoming emotional for someone other then his first love?" The male voice called out as he started to materilze beside Gregory. "Who are you?" Ariana asked as Gregory paled. "Faraji, the fire elemental." Faraji said as he bowed to Ariana. 

Ariana gawked at Faraji. He stood at 5 foot 9 inches. He had medium length, messy, ash blonde hair with a long fringe. He had sun kissed skin, thin lips that show cased his charming smile, thin brows and a heart shapped face. He had a long, strong nose and almond shaped eyes.

He wore a white hoodie that hugged his body and zipped up the right side of his torso. The over sized hood, pockets and trim were done red. He wore twin, black, leather belts on his left arm and one thick, black belt on his right. Black, fingerless, leather gloves and dark, stone washed blue jeans with white running shoes. His whole outfit made his bright, turquoise eyes pop. 

"You look like someone from my world." Ariana muttered. "And you"re interesting." Faraji chuckled as he walked up to Ariana. "How so?" Ariana asked as she held her head up high. "You know you can"t hide who you are from me." Faraji said in a low voice. "Out of all of us I am the one who will understand you the most." He said then brought his lips to her ear. "Since it was my flames that made you die." 

Ariana took a step back but held her composure. "Gregory how much do you want her to be your family?" Faraji called out. "What?"! Gregory shouted as he looked Faraji. Faraji"s smile vanished, he looked extremely annoyed as rain poured on them. "I"m sick of this rain!" Faraji said bitterly as he snapped his fingers, a small flaming snake appeared and started to encircle around them. The rain stopped and the earth quickly dried up. Ariana was amazed and saw that the rain hadn"t actually stopped it was still pouring but they were dry. "I said, what if I make your wish come true?" Faraji said with a mischievious smile as he glanced in Ariana"s direction. Gregory said nothing. "Little girl let"s make a deal. I will lend you my power temporarily. I won"t recognize you until you do something that amazes me." Faraji said as he looked at Ariana.

"What do I have to do?" Ariana said as she glared at Faragi. "Nothing too difficult." Faraji said as flames started to sprout all over his body. "Don"t listen to him!" Gregory shouted. "Ahhh, don"t listen to this old geezer. Let"s make a deal and if you hold your end then my power is yours. If you lose then you become my little slave." Faragi said as a wicked smile spread across his face.

Ariana contemplated as she dropped her gaze. "What are you trying to do?!" Gregory shouted. "A favour for you." Faraji replied indifferently. "I need your power or I can"t move forward... I will always cause people trouble, I need to get stronger." Ariana said as she raised her head. "So you"re saying what?" Faraji said with a teasing tone. "Yes." Ariana shouted.

"You don"t even want to know what the deal is?! What a brave child. Well that"s fine. I"m going to be taking your memory after you win this battle anyways." Faraji laughed as he approached Ariana. He then grabbed Ariana"s waist and brought her close. "Make that old man shed his stone heart. Let him open up and become vaulnerable. Then I will be yours." Faraji whisped then placed a kiss on the crook of her neck. "See you soon."

An explosion was set off in the distance.

....

"You"re that pervert from that night!" Ariana shouted as she pointed to Faraji. "Well that"s not nice." Faraji said with an obvious pout. "Your memory returned?" Gregory asked in disbelief. "Ya..." Ariana replied as she blushed. Gregory wasn"t lying he really thought that she was his family. "Well that"s nice." Faraji said as he played with the hair in his fringe. 

"I held my end." Ariana said as she climbed out of the bed. Her muscles were jelly like and she had trouble trying to stand up. Just as Ariana was going to fall down, Edlyn and Gregory each grabbed an arm to try and stablize her. "Thanks." Ariana said as she smiled at the two. "Ah you did, so I"m yours now." Faraji said as he winked at Ariana. Gregory paled as his jaw dropped.

"Faraji we have a contract!" Gregory shouted. "And you"re boring. I want to be with your daughter." Faraji said with a teasing tone. Gregory flushed as he released Ariana. "So let"s get this over with. I can"t wait to spend my days with you." Faraji said as he approached Ariana but Ariana held up her hand, stopping Faraji in his tracks.

"Sorry, I don"t want to be tied to you in that kind of way. I just want your power and nothing else. So recognize me and go back to your master." Ariana said flattly. Faraji"s facial expression dropped, his eyes started to glow maliciously as half his face shrouded with darkness. "So you want to use me and then toss me aside?" He asked in a low, deep voice. "Yes." Ariana answered bluntly.
