Chapter 93 - Can't Give In Part 2

Ariana's eyes widened as she she broke out into a cold sweat. She turned her head slowly towards the direction of the speaker. "G-g-g-grandson?" She said again as she watched Flint peel himself from the wall behind them and walk towards his grandfather. His eyes flashed with dominance and mocking laughter as he looked at Ariana, daring her to reveal the truth. "Yes, my oldest grandson. Flint here is the pride and joy of the family." He said as he beamed with pride.

"Thank you grandfather. It's really nice to meet you, my name is Flint Remo." He said as he reached for Ariana's hand. Her whole body trembled violently as she watched him reach out for her. Suddenly a flash of pink light appeared in the room. "Oh this must be your familiar." He said as his hand froze in place.

Vasu appeared in between the two of them, blocking Flint from Ariana. 'Master... you're shaking. Did he hurt you?' Vasu asked. Ariana started to take shallow breaths, her heart was beating painfully loud as her eyes darted to the people in the room. No one moved or hinted they heard anything except for Cayden who's eyes started to shake. "Yes." She shouted as she encircled her arms around Vasu and clutched him against her chest. "Yes..." She whispered to Vasu and he started to glow a soft pink. "He is quite remarkable." Flint said as he looked at Ariana with clear desire in his eyes. "Grandfather... I agree with your earlier proposal." He said as he smiled.

"Fantastic!" The Headmaster cheered as he went back to his desk and pulled out a document. "Now all I need is your signature Gregory." He said as he finished signing the paper then passed the document and pen over. Gregory picked up the document and carefully read it over. "I don't think this child is worthy enough." He said as he flicked the document back on to the desk. Vasu stopped glowing and instantly became furious. He changed into a full stag and caught Flint within his antlers. He charged across the room and pinned him against the wall behind the Headmaster. Books from the shelves tumbled downwards as the bookshelf itself trembled from the impact. 'Scumbag!' Vasu roared as he bared his teeth.

"What the hell is going on?!" The Headmaster yelled as he got up from the chair and looked at Flint. "See, this child can't even control her own familiar. Having her as addition to your family would be a disgrace." Gregory sighed as he picked up the document and shredded it in front of the Headmaster. "Gregory what have you done?!" He shouted as he scooped up the torn pieces. "Grandfather help..." Flint whimpered as Vasu started applying more pressure, breaking the wooden shelves. Suddenly the pieces of paper in the Headmaster's hand spontaneously burst into a blue flame. "I could only get my hands on one completed registration form! You imbecile, you moron! You're fired!" The Headmaster yelled but Gregory didn't flinch.

"I don't think you could fire me if you wanted too. What would I have to tell my aunt? I was fired because the Headmaster believed a child of low calliper was suitable to be a bride of the Remo's.... I dare say even the king would find that... pathetically humourous." He said as a cold smile stretched across his face. The Headmaster ground his teeth and shifted his anger instead. "Ariana control your familiar!" He yelled as he pounded his desk but Ariana didn't respond.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Honestly this street rat has no idea how to take simple orders. Look at her, she's at her wits end. You will thank me one day for saving your family from tying her to your grandson." He said coolly then turned to grab Ariana's arm. "Control your familiar you piece of sh*t!" He barked as he slapped her across the face causing her to collapse to the ground. 'Master!' Vasu yelled as he changed back into his chibi form and snuggled against her neck. "No." She said under her breath, stopping Vasu from using any more magic. 'But Master...' He said pitifully and he pulled back.

"See this piece of trash only knows how to disrespect. As her legal guardian I will formally decline the marriage prospect. Ariana was adopted into our family, we do not know her origins and this could ruin young master's, no doubt glorious future. So good day Headmaster, I will drag this child out and properly teach her. Maybe in a few years we can come back to the discussion of marrying these two." He said as he half dragged Ariana out of the room. Vasu lingered behind for a moment, he turned to Flint and bared his teeth again. 'Rapist.' He spat then left.

"Go get yourself cleaned up!" Gregory shouted as he tossed Ariana into the hallway. "Honestly what was the Headmaster thinking?! Wanting to join you and Flint in matrimony! Ha! The man is delusional!" He said in a deadly tone that it sent shivers down Ariana's spine. Vasu floated out and looked at Gregory. He stared him down then turned into light and resumed his position on Ariana's ear. "Get out of my sight!" He hissed. Ariana scrambled of the ground and ran as fast as she could.

She didn't stop running, she stumbled down a flight of stairs and cried in pain but she got back up. She started running again, she refused to look back. When she saw the female dorm building she picked up her pace, she ran through the main door and past the students already up. She ran past Ms. Hadley who was chatting away with Vera. "Ariana?" She called out as she turned from Vera. "Ariana?" She called again but Ariana clenched her jaw and ran. She found her room and place her right hand on the door knob and winced. She looked down and saw her wrist turning purple.

She brought up her left hand, turned the knob and burst through the door. "Ariana?" Edlyn said as she turned to see who came in. Ariana threw herself into Edlyn arms and started to cry. "What happened?!" Edlyn shouted as she looked at Ariana's wrist. "That looks bad we should get the nurse to look at that." Halina said as she walked over. "Ariana, take some deep breaths... what happened to you." Talisha said as she walked over and started rubbing Ariana's back. Ariana cried harder. "I don't think we will get an answer anytime soon." Halina said as she patted Ariana's head. "There, there, the nurse will fix you right up." Halina cooed.
