Chapter 161 - Consultation Part 3

'You were never the cause of our great loss but at the same time the ones who gave their lives never saw it as that, did they?' Mirela asked. Ariana was taken a back. She had no idea what to say. Mirela reached over and patted Ariana's thumb. 'It's okay. You don't need to say anything.' Mirela said with a gentle smile. 'The warning that the Edler wanted me to pass along. I want to tell it to you but please do not act rashly. Wait until you meet the Elder to find out the details.' Mirela said as she took a strong stance. She stared at Ariana, making Ariana feel a little uncomfortable.

"I promise to give my actions more thought then just running head first." Ariana replied. 'Ariana some students are heading this way on both sides. You have three minutes at most.' Duko barked. Mirela looked at Duko then Ariana. 'No time! I will take what you said but please always remember your promise.' Mirela begged and Ariana nodded her head in agreement. 'You are not the only soul that has been summoned to this world.' Mirela started. "Yes, I know there are others." Ariana said with a small smile. 'No you don't understand! To summon a soul is taboo! The ones that have been summoned are not your allies! You must stay away from them at all costs!' Mirela shouted as she balled her tiny hands into fists and brought them up in a fit.

'Ariana, one minute!' Duko yelled. "Mirela, I don't understand?! What do you mean, my mother summoned me, how can this be taboo?!" Ariana shouted in a panic. 'She damned her soul for summoning you! She used the ones who trusted her to keep her child alive! I'm sorry but that is all I can tell you. Please be careful!' Mirela shouted before flying out of Ariana's hands. "Wait!" Ariana shouted as she tried to chance after Mirela but then she heard people talking as the slowly approached ear shot. "Sh*t!" Ariana said bitterly under her breath.

'Ariana, we better go back.' Vasu said softly. Ariana furrowed her brows. It was too much to tell her a giant bomb. She looked at Vasu then grabbed him. She squished him against her body before running for her dear life towards the dorms. 'Ariana calm down!' Loralei shouted as the rest of the Lumas chased after her. Ariana's heart was pounding against her chest as Mirela's words echoed in her head. 'Ariana watch out!' Davita shouted but Ariana couldn't stop in time. She tripped over her own footing and went head fist into the person in front of her.

"Ahhhhhh!" A female voice screamed but Ariana felt no pain. Ariana opened her eyes that she subconsciously shut tight. Suprised she felt a gentle wind surround her body, she found herself suspended in mid air. She looked down and saw a very familiar person just below her. "Vanessa!" Ariana shouted happily. "Is this some kind of joke?!" Vanessa spat as she stared up at Ariana. "No. I'm really sorry that I gave you such a fright." Ariana said sorrowfully. "Move so I can got off the ground!" Vanessa hissed.

"Oh right! Davita?" Ariana said as she looked back. He green, winged, snake chibi started to spin in small circles. Ariana's body slowly floated upwards until she was standing perfectly straight. Then Davita gently placed Ariana back on the ground. Ariana released Vasu and held out her hand for Vanessa. "I'm grabbing your hand for now. Don't get any stupid ideas, I just don't want to get any filthier than I already am." Vanessa said bitterly.

"I won't. I mean, you are wearing such a comfy outfit it would be a shame to see it get dirty." Ariana said with a small chuckle. "It's a gift from my mother!" Vanessa shouted as she tried to cover the light grey, hoodie dress that she tried yesterday. "Really? Because it kinda looks like the dress you-?" Ariana started to say but Vanessa suddenly popped out giant, golden brown, pointed ears and matching bushy tail that closely resembled a dog's. The hairs puffed out as her tail shot upwards. Ariana had to quickly cover her mouth to stop herself from laughing her guts out but she couldn't stop her body from shaking. "What are you in freak?!" Vanessa shouted.

"Where are you heading?" Ariana asked as she wiped tears away, ignoring Vanessa's previous comment. Vanessa's golden brown tail started to sway back and forth as her ears perked. "Why does it matter to you?" She asked as her brows knitted together. "I really need to talk some things out but it can't be with someone who will sugar coat things with me. Rather a third party and I would love to get your advice." Ariana said as she watched Vanessa's tail stop swaying mid air. "Why do you think I would even want to help you? You are the person who made my finace confused! You made him humiliate me in front of so many people! If anything I should hate you!" She shouted.

Ariana didn't look put off instead she hugged herself as her gaze reflected her sorrow. "Exactly you should hate me. You won't hesitate to tell me how stupid I am so I need to talk to you. As for Cayden, I'm sorry it wasn't my intention to make you feel bad. I know I was being selfish for not letting him go but I meant what I said on Saturday. Fight me for him, I will give it my all to hold on to him. I don't care how many times you fight me or how you fight me just out your heart into it. Besides, I kinda hoped we bonded at least a little yesterday." Ariana said pitifully.

"Dream on b*tch." Vanessa spat as she turned to walk away. Vanessa's ears and tail disappeared. Ariana watched as Vanessa's body started to get smaller when suddenly a small, golden brown fox rushed out from Vanessa. The small fox started to rush towards Ariana and stopped two feet away from her. 'Keep trying.' He said as his giant eyes turned upwards and met her gaze. "Are you Vanessa's familiar?" Ariana asked but her words caused the small fox to puff out his fur in fear. 'Yes! Sorry my master is getting further away. I must leave. Please don't give up.' The small fox said as it ran away at lightning speed.

"So I guess that little one was the one letting me see what Vanessa is feeling." Ariana asked her Lumas. 'Yes, he's very nice.' Loralei said with a soft sigh. "Loralei, your affiliated with darkness can you not talk to Gautam's familiar for me?" Ariana asked hopefully. 'I am very sorry but he will not speak to me.' Loralei said as he fins flapped listlessly. "So it has to be Ophelia." Ariana sighed. 'Otis will only listen to Ophelia.' Loralei explained. 'They are husband and wife.'
