My Way To You 151 Eugene Part 3

"Why... did you tell us about yourself?" Talisha asked as she hugged herself. "You said it yourself. We should talk about ourselves to trust eachother... and you also proved yourselves at the party. Vasu please come here." Ariana asked as Vasu floated down to her open arms. Ariana walked up to Halina and placed her hand over her swollen cheek. With a heavy sigh Vasu started to glow a soft pink just as Ariana's hand started to glow the same colour. Halina gasped as she felt a warm sensation enter her body. Ariana removed her hand and turned to Edlyn. "Hand please." She said but Edlyn shook her head no. "It will heal fine on its own."

Ariana sighed and let Vasu go. "Thank you Vasu.... Halina, if you still think I'm lying then ask your familiar. Every magical creature knows who I am but I will never be recognized as the next jewel eyed priestess." Ariana said firmly. Halina slowly turned to Ophelia and Talisha to Bacon. 'Honestly Halina! Look at your own face and tell me you have doubts. You've been healed by the priestess's very own daughter. You should be honoured.' Ophelia squawked before she and Bacon walked up to Ariana and bowed.

'Forgive my master for her incompetence.' Ophelia said in a dignified voice. 'I feel relieved you finally told my master the truth, she has been suspicious of you and I beg your forgiveness for not standing up for you.' Bacon said. Causing both Halina and Talisha to gawk. "I can't believe it." Halina said as she dropped her gaze. "I don't blame you for not believing me. It's only natural but Ophelia, Bacon are you not afraid of me? I mean all magical creatures love Edlyn but don't listen to her. While I am feared but my every command is obeyed, even if I never uttered a word." Ariana asked curiously. 'We've watched you and spent time with you. There is nothing to be afraid of." Bacon said as he lifted his head and started to wag his stuppy tail.

'Bacon is correct. Fear is for the uneducated, ignorant and cowardly. I am honoured to be in your presence.' Ophelia said as she brought herself back up elegantly. "Thank you." Ariana said as she looked at the familiars affectionately. "I'm so s-sorry I called you a liar!" Halina cried her heart out. "I'm so sorry!" She kept saying as she wiped away her tears with the palms of her hands. "It's okay... not a lot of people know that the priestess is dead or that she had a daughter and I'm afraid it may not be a secret much longer." Ariana said with a sigh as she sat back on her bed, Duko happily walked onto Ariana's lap and snuggled against her. "You told us such a huge secret!" Halina cried even harder. 'Halina calm yourself already!' Ophelia honked.

"Do you really think your secret will come out?" Edlyn asked as she pa.s.sed a box of tissues to Halina. "Our history teacher, Gautam Waldemar. He told me that Vasu was my mother's familiar originally... How long will it take people to piece it together? Should I come out with the truth before rumors start to spread or put my faith in the Board of Directors? Do I really have a choice? If more people know will it be leaked to the church that what they a.s.sumed about me is true? My mother died to make sure I lived, my uncle died so I could escape... Do I come out with my secret and have their efforts spat at? I'm so conflicted! Everything is happening so fast and my head is spinning. I just want to live a normal life and not be seen as something else..." Ariana said as she shoulders sagged.

"You don't have to worry so much about it. I mean... I won't be treating you any differently. I am a little shocked to find out the truth but I think in time, I can get used to the idea." Talisha said awkwardly as she slowly approached Ariana's bed. "Thank you Talisha." Ariana sighed then looked up. "Halina... Your brother, when was the last time you've seen him?" Ariana asked. Halina wrapped her arms around her body. "I don't remember... we only got letters... I haven't seen him in years." She answered as her body shook.

"I'm so sorry Halina... I wish I could go right now and save your brother but I don't even have the slightest clue how to take down the church. I'm not strong enough... I'm still a child and the church is the church. I'm sure innocent people would lay down their lives for them if they asked. It's the will of the G.o.ddess of Creation that you protect the church." Ariana said in a deep voice as she started to scratch Duko behind the ear. "Build an army." Talisha said as she finally made it to the bed and sat down. "That's worse! How the h.e.l.l do I build an army? I don't want blood shed and I need to find out if the people that they abducted or recruited are still alive first."

Halina let out a small whimper causing Ariana to cringe. She didn't mean to make Halina worry. "Intel is the key and like I said Eugene is the best." Talisha said with confidence. "How do I get in contact with him? It would be great if we could plan things out, you know baby steps." Ariana said as she started to feel more hopeful. "It's easier then you think." Talisha said with a wink. "Eugene is Cayden." Edlyn blurted out taking Talisha's thunder. "Well... that is a pleasant surprise." Ariana said as fire started to burn in her eyes. Talisha moved off the bed and looked at Edlyn for help. "He stole a... cough, cough... couple of pa.s.sionate kisses from her. She's been feeling guilty." Edlyn said with a sly grin.

"A**hole is going to pay when he comes back!" Ariana hissed menacingly. "Cayden left?" Halina sniffed as she got off of the ground. "Oh." Ariana said as she slowly defused. "I should probably tell you what happened after we left..." Ariana said as she made herself more comfortable. While Loralei quickly shrunk back and Davita dispelled the air. They both floated over to Ariana and laid beside her legs.

Ariana felt drained as she dragged herself out of bed, she was practically half dead. Last night was a whirlwind of conversation and after everything was aired it really turned into a slumber party. She looked around the room and let out a small sigh before smiling to herself. Halina was curled up on the floor sleeping like a cat. Edlyn was using Thor as a body pillow while she slept on the corner of her bed. Talisha sat on the floor, her arms and head were on the edge of her bed, legs sprawled outwards while Bacon slept on the bed, right beside her head.
