"What don"t you understand?! Get out!" Goutam shouted as he grabbed a stack of doc.u.ments and flung it to the ground. Paper and dust erupted everywhere. "If I had my way I wouldn"t even have you in my cla.s.s, not have you in this school or with HER familiar! You don"t deserve the stag, you don"t deserve to live. All you do is take and cause pain to everyone around you! Now get out." Goutam spat. Ariana took a step back. "V-V-Vasu? My stag, Vasu was m-my mother"s?" She stuttered as she paled. "Get out, get out, get out!" Goutam shouted as he knocked over more doc.u.ments from his desk.Ariana turned around and ran out of the cla.s.s room. She raced down towards the forest area by the school building"s entrance. "Ariana?" Edlyn called out as she saw her running towards them. Ariana reached out and grabbed Vasu from mid air. "Tell Rain I"m sorry." Ariana said as she burried her face into Vasu"s body. "Sorry?" Talisha asked. "I need some time.... I might be late or I might not show up but I need some time alone, just for now." Ariana said. "You can"t skip out on cla.s.s because you want to be alone." Halina said.
"Please, I need to sort something out." Ariana pleaded. "Halina"s right. You can"t skip out on cla.s.s just because you want to be alone. You will jeopardize your perfect score and be punished." Talisha said. "I can"t go! Not like this!" Ariana shouted. Edlyn placed a gentle hand on top of Ariana"s head and slowly stroked her hair. "What-ever it is we can work it out to-geth-er but right now we should go to cla.s.s." Edlyn said softly. "No you don"t understand! I want to talk to Vasu.... Edlyn he was my mom"s familiar." Ariana whimpered. Edlyn paled as she looked at the other girls. "Please tell Pro-fes-sor Rain that we will be late to cla.s.s."
"Whatever. You read the handbook, don"t blame us for trying to get you to cla.s.s on time." Talisha said before she grabbed Halina"s hand and dragged her back towards the school. When Edlyn figured they were finally alone, she turned to Ariana who was still holding Vasu in her death grip. "Do you want to talk?" She asked but Ariana just sighed. "Are you guys going to tell me the truth?" Ariana asked the Lumas instead. Aroha looked at everyone then to Ariana. "Only... some not all." Aroha answered. ".... It"s better then nothing." Ariana said as she released Vasu. However he didn"t float away he stuck close to Ariana and observed her. "Ask away." He said and Ariana looked around.
She found a spot under a maple tree and made herself comfortable. Edlyn felt uneasy, it wasn"t a conversation she necessarily wanted to hear but her friend was lost and hurting, she couldn"t leave her alone. She walked over and sat down beside her. "What are you?" She asked as she looked at her Lumas. "Light ulterior manifestation animals. We were once living beings who have been punished by the G.o.ddess of Creation many eons ago." Davita replied.

"Yes. We all have our own stories about our past lives and have been stuck in libo trying to redeem our souls so we can move on." Duko responded. "Is that why you are with me? So you can be redeemed?" Ariana asked as her hands started to tremble in her lap. "Yes." Vasu answered and the other Lumas turned to glare at him. "Vasu... are you different from the others? Goutam said you were my mom"s familiar." Vasu floated downwards and started to walk in circles. After a moment he stopped and looked at Ariana. "Does it matter?"
Ariana became shocked. She averted her gaze as she tried to compose her feelings then sighed. "I guess not." She replied. "Then why ask?" Vasu asked as he continued to watch her. "I"m not sure... I mean my mom isn"t really my mom. Physically my blood and flesh is her and my father but my soul is my own. I have a mother and father that I love very much but the creators of this "girl" are... foreign to me. I shouldn"t care what they did, how they lived or anything but my heart ached when I heard Goutam say I didn"t deserve you Vasu. To be absolutely hated because of my biological mother was something I was not mentally prepared for.... I guess it hurt alot. I don"t want to be judged because of who my parents are. I want to pave my own path and I feel every choice I make is not really my own. I"m being played or lead into my life"s choices and I don"t like it." She answered truthfully.
Her Lumas looked at Ariana with conflicting stares. Slowly each one floated downwards and stood beside Vasu. "This morning, you broke our connection with our true Master and given us something we have no not had in over a millennium." Aroha started to say, making Ariana bring back her gaze and look at her Lumas. "You have given us free will."
"You have always had free will." Ariana said but Davita shook her head. "No, we have not. You saw what was happening to Loralei because she chose a side. The moment we went against our mission was the moment we forfeit our existence on this plane. We had to stay neutral by all means." Davita explained. "So was everything we had together a lie?" Ariana whispered feeling the pain of each word uttered strike her heart. "No... our mission was to watch over you." Loralei replied as she bounced closer, making her fins flap tirelessly with each bounce. "But some of us felt so loved and touched to our cores that it threatened our mission."
Ariana picked up Loralei and gently hugged her against her body. "I was so scared when I thought you were leaving me... I didn"t know what to do. My heart ached and I wished for you to stay... I love you so much." Ariana said as tears started to roll down her cheeks. "I love you all so much and I would do anything to keep you with me." She continued to say as she gently sobbed. Edlyn quietly wrapped her arms around Ariana and started to cry along with her. "Well this is a very touching moment but I don"t think this is the right time to sort out your problems." A familiar voice called out. Edlyn looked up and tightened her embrace around Ariana and Loralei.
