The girls had no idea what to say. They never had this type of discussion with their parents before and some had the same situation as Ariana had described. Some parents hated eachother and in turn hated their children as they were the offspring of the one the scorned. In some cases the children were neglected, left to their own devices or worse, beaten until they were a breath away from death.So many of the girls looked down and hugged themselves as they shivered uncontrollably. They found excuses to not go home or often hide away from their parents. However, Ariana"s words rang in their heads. The stopped shivering and came to an epiphany. If they took the bad their parents did and used it as a what not to do guide then maybe life with a loveless marriage wouldn"t be so bad. They could give the unconditional love they never got, life could get better.
"Don"t think that your relationship with your parents are beyond impossible. There are ways to change your relationship but that can be for another day." Ariana said as she watched the gazes of the girls slowly lift up. She saw that their lips trembled and their eyes were pooling with tears. Vanessa was one of them and Ariana made note to find them individually later.
"If you are able to find mutual love with your partner please do not be surprised if they pounced at you at every turn." Ariana said with a small laugh. Her head was effected by the girls who openly showed that they were neglected and she needed to get back on track with her little mission. "Wait does that mean that they don"t love us anymore?!" A girl shouted in surprise, snapping Ariana out of her muddled state.
"No! This is actually a good sign! Remember how I said some men have daily urges? Well now they have a lovely wife or very committed partner to fulfill those urges! Let"s be real some of us can"t hold on until marriage, especially when the other person sets our hearts a blaze." Ariana said jokingly as she nudged the air with her elbow and gave the girls a wink. Crickets.
"Cough... Sorry. So your lover will want to keep being intimate with you. They all do this in their own way and this is why we need to openly talk about out feelings with our partner. Misunderstandings happen very easily and can destroy a relationship." Ariana said proudly.
Ariana had noticed earlier that some girls had slipped past Vanessa"s strong hold and disappeared. Moments later more girls came up stairs. It was starting to get really packed. Ariana couldn"t help but smile.
"You know men can have fantasies regularly. Especially when they see they one they love. Now I"m not talking about the l.u.s.tful, I"m king of the world kind of fantasy but ones where the picture their future family. A nice home, not house but home where they can come back too and feel refreshed. He"s greeted by his little ones, they give hugs, kisses and let out small giggles, as they call out father. Possibly an animal friend joins the welcoming party and a wife who kisses him when he walks in. The children start laughing as the shield their little eyes from the affection but peek through the gaps. Then he picks up his kids making the laugh even harder as they race into the living room to have fun." Ariana explained as some gazes glazed over.
"Once they see that fantasy, their ideal family fantasy, they turn l.u.s.tful. They want it to be true. Then need it to be true, so they chase after their wives or lover. Sometimes the love between the two is so strong they can"t stop themselves from showing their affection. You"ll never know unless you talk to one another." Ariana said with a small sigh and felt happy as the girls seemed to take her words seriously. After a brief moment Ariana narrowed her gaze and her whole aura turned dark.
"I"m sorry to tell you all but there is also a bad part to this." Ariana announced. The girls became shocked, they quickly asked one another what it could have been. "Intercourse must be consensual." Ariana said coldly and firmly that it sent chills down the girls spines. "Don"t do something if you feel it"s wrong, don"t be pressured into something that makes you scared, don"t a.s.sume that intercourse is a partners right! This act must be done with two consenting parties! If you say no it"s a no."
"But." A girl said nervously. "No buts!" Ariana shouted. Making the girls cower. "Do not send mixed messages to men. It makes them warped and inflates their ego. If you say no, that means no. There is no point in being coy. Especially if you are communicating with your partner. If they can"t take no for an answer and force themselves on you, even if you are married this is r*pe. Specifically marital r*pe and this is a crime." Ariana said in a booming voice that no one dared to come up with an excuse.
"This will leave you feeling hurt, physically and emotionally sick. Given enough times you will be afraid of someone"s touch. A beautiful act will turn into an abusive one and will kill your soul. If you find yourself in this situation where they put their hands on you, scream, punch, kick, bite do anything you can to get them off of you. Then run, they may even rip your clothes off, don"t let it stop you, just run. The moment they dominate you, it"s practically over." Ariana announced. Some girls turned pale while others turned green and a few were frozen stiff.
With a shaky sigh Ariana steeled her resolve. "If you can escape, at any stage, does not matter, violated, molested, r*ped, or hara.s.sed, you are not a victim! You are a survivor! You survived an attack! Nothing will be worse then not standing up for yourself! Fight! You are stronger then what your predator tells you! Speak up and fight back! You are not damage, you are not dirty, you are not a toy! You deserve love and are beautiful just the way you are!" Ariana shouted with conviction.
Some girls burst into tears. The girls closest to them turned in confusion. Ariana straightened up her back and held her head up high. "I, Ariana Drake am a survivor!"
