My Way To You 164 Taboo Part 2

Vanessa's face became contorted with confusion, anger and disgust. "Are you making fun of me?" Vanessa muttered as half her face became shrouded in darkness. "No! I swear, no!" Ariana shouted in protest. "You f*cking s.l.u.t, just stay away from me." Vanessa said frankly as she got up and tried to walk away. Ariana grabbed Vanessa's wrist and held her tightly. "It's me... sob... I'm the bad person.... sob... I'm a taboo and I don't know what to do." Ariana whispered as she choked on her tears.

"Don't joke with me." Vanessa said with a dark tone as she shot Ariana a disgusted look. "A taboo is just a fairy tale that parents tell their kids when they are being bad." Vanessa said as she yanked her wrist free. "You're wrong. I am a taboo but I don't know how to prove it... Edlyn knows everything about me but she never once told me that I was a taboo. I found out through a fairy and now I'm confused. I'm afraid to tell anyone one else. I am afraid to let anyone else know, especially Cayden but at least you know that I'm not that great." Ariana said with great pain but tried to mask it with an awkward smile.

"So your telling me because you want me to know your weakness? Do you thinking I'm that pathetic that I need something on you?" Vanessa murmured. "No, I don't think you're pathetic. I just wanted to let you know that we all have our secrets and now you know mine." Ariana said pitifully as tears just poured out. "So I'm supposed to feel bad for you." Vanessa said sarcastically. "No... I just.... I'm breaking apart inside." Ariana whispered.

"Let's talk somewhere else." Vanessa said coolly as she walked towards the exit. Ariana quietly followed Vanessa out of the bath and back to the change room. Everyone in the change room was surprised to see the two together. The girls started to whisper furiously as they stole glances at the two. "Can't find anything else more interesting?" Vanessa asked with her head held up high. Ariana quickly pulled out her clothing from the locker and slammed it shut. "Don't you know that people bathing is a commodity? I mean naked women is the highlight in everyone's day so let them gossip." Ariana sneered.

The girls in the room started to give Ariana dirty looks while Vanessa was completely forgotten. Vanessa slowly got dressed, brushed and dried her hair. Ariana walked out of the changing stall. She looked around and saw that all the other girls had cleared out. "Vanessa..." Ariana called out but Vanessa just shot her a cold glare before walking out of the change room. "We've been in there too long. It's dark now." Vanessa said flatly as they walked out of the bathhouse. The night air was Crips, th stars in the sky where blinking while the moon was waning. "Let's head to the front quad. We won't see anyone at the school at this time." Vanessa said as she started to walk towards the school building.

"Is that why you have so many familiars?" Vanessa asked as they walked. "Duko?" Ariana called out and Duko appeared beside the girls. He walked along happily as his tongue hung out from his tiny snout. 'It's clear.' Duko responded. "They aren't my familiars. They are Lumas, given to me for a specific purpose. I was told to take some weird pill to suppress my magic but now I wonder. I mean Edlyn is loved by the magically creatures and I think that is why the Thunderbird visited the Capital so much. He was drawn to her but me... I'm feared, they respect me, they keep my secret but the terror they have because of my existence is unbelievable." Ariana said as they walked.

"Felix." Vanessa called out and the golden brown fennec fox came out. 'Master!' Felix shouted as he jumped around. "What do you think of her?" Vanessa asked. Felix turned his gaze to Ariana but quickly averted it. His body fluffed up in defense as he whimpered. 'I dare not comment.' Felix replied. "It's fine Felix. I will not be offended." Ariana said. 'No! I dare not! How can I say a bad thing about you! I know I was very rude to you earlier but please forgive me! My master really needs someone willing to be patient with her and I saw how you treated her while shopping. I felt how happy she felt, how she enjoyed herself and I just hoped... I wished with everything I had that you would be the person to help her become more honest.' Felix ranted.

"Even though I am a taboo?" Ariana asked. 'Ahhh!' Felix yelled as he jumped onto Vanessa's shoulder. "You can hear him?" Vanessa asked as she stopped walking and gawked. "Yes." Ariana answered. "How can you hear him?" Vanessa asked as she took a step back. "If I told you I don't think you would ever believe me. So at the moment no, I can't tell you." Ariana responded without batting an eye. "So you can tell me that you're a taboo but you can't tell me how you can hear my familiar?!" Vanessa shouted in disbelief. "Let's just say until we bond a little bit more I'll tell you but if you can't wait just ask Felix. Go ahead Felix, I give you permission to tell Vanessa about me." Ariana said with a gentle smile.

'No! I will never tell anyone anything!' Felix yelled as he curled around Vanessa's neck. "Too bad." Ariana said with a heavy sigh. "Felix, tell me." Vanessa commanded. 'You are my master but the one standing before you is someone we dare not betray. Not unless we want our lives taken from us.' Felix replied. "I would never take your life. You're too kind, too sweet. I'm glad you are Vanessa's familiar." Ariana responded with a brighter smile. Felix lifted his tiny, fluffy head and looked at Ariana with sparkling eyes.
