A New Life
Sandra decided to visit her daughter. She’d miss Arianna so much. She left quite early and made it to the palace not so late. She was greeted by some guards and allowed into the palace. Not long she met Adrian. He was shocked to see Arianna’s mom three days after what happened.
“good morning Adrian. How are you doing?” she greeted with a heartwarming smile.
“good morning Aunt Sandra. What are you doing here?” he asked nervously and sadly,
“oh I just came to visit Arianna.” she advanced but was stopped by him,
“um Arianna’s a bit busy today, can’t you come back later.” he tried convincing her, but she refused
“but I want to see her today. I am her mother after all.” she moved past him and into the castle. He gulped.
“Arianna!! Arianna!! Arianna!!!” Sandra called, but got no answer. Then she met Ruby,
“Ruby dear, have you seen Arianna anywhere? I can’t seem to find her.” when Ruby heard her name, tears rolled down her cheeks
“what’s wrong Ruby?!” Sandra got worried. More tears fell from her eyes. She couldn’t stop crying.
“Arianna… Arianna...Arianna is dead!!!” she burst down into uncontrollable tears.
“Ruby what are you saying?!?! Why would Arianna be dead?!?!” Sandra asked.
“Arianna is gone forever.” Eleanor interrupted. Sandra shot a death glare at her which sent chills to her spine,
“you both are talking nonsense!!! I wish to see the prince right now!!” she commanded,
“Right this way.” Eleanor gestured mockingly but Sandra didn’t care. She wanted to see her daughter right now. In a moment, they reached the throne room and met the royal family.
“your majesties.” she greeted,
“oh, Sandra it’s so nice to see you again!” Maria, Rob’s mom exclaimed. “what brings you here?”
“I came to see Arianna” Sandra answered hoping to get a different response from her.
“Arianna was exiled three days ago after she tried to kill me,” Rob said unmoved. Sandra didn’t believe what she was hearing. Or maybe she wasn’t hearing properly.
“what did you say?” she asked to be clear.
“you heard me. Arianna isn’t here. She was sent away three days ago.” he said not even bothered and this made a smirk creep up Eleanor’s lips.
Every word that came out of his lips pierced her like a sword. She was so shocked, she just kept looking.
“Rob my son, are you sure of what you are saying??” his dad asked, getting a bit scared.
“yes, dad!!! I know what I’m saying!!! Arianna tried to kill me!!!” he shouted, losing his temper.
“be quiet!!!!” Sandra screamed, already in tears. Her command shocked all of them and it also proved effective. “why would my Arianna want to kill you??!!! She’s trying her best to protect you and this is how you treat her??!!!!” more tears flowed. Rob was touched. He felt so bad he had to do this to her. Eleanor wondered what she meant by ‘trying to protect you’
Sandra couldn’t stop crying “I can’t believe my daughter is dead. The only source of joy in my life. She’s gone” she sniffed, “first of all you take my husband away from me. Now you took Arianna away from me!!!! You should just kill me. Kill me now!!!!” her sorrow was unexplainable.
“Sandra look-”
“no!!! don’t tell me to understand, Maria!!!” Sandra cut her off. She didn’t care who they were. She just wanted her daughter back.
“that’s the same shit you told me when my husband died!!!!” and she was angry. “you will never be happy!!! Mark my words!!!!!!” with that she stormed out. They were all shocked by the bone marrow, but they could do nothing. She was right after all. They’ve hurt her too much. And they would pay for it.
Three years later.
Rob was sitting in an armchair in the garden, enjoying some tea. It was a bit tasteless so he needed some sugar,
“Arian-” he stopped short. His heart sunk. He hasn’t gotten over her yet. He still missed every bit of her and wished she would come back. He dropped his tea, having lost the need to drink it, and decided to walk around the castle.
After a short walk, he saw some guards laughing and talking. He smiled,
“Maybe they’re talking about their girlfriends.” he chuckled and walked away. But what were they really talking about?
“Charles, you are so funny” Brian mocked, making Charles flair up
“But I’m not joking. A Goddess does live in the forest.” he scratched his head, tired of their jokes.
“Charles, no Goddess lives in the forest” Abel put his hand on his shoulder. “plus, why would anyone live in the forest?” Charles sighed. He had a feeling the rumors were true, but he has to find out for himself.
A woman lay on a tree, resting. She was the definition of beauty. Her silky, long, black hair covered most of her revealing cleavage. Her beautiful D-cupped breasts nicely fitted into a leopard top that stopped just after her ribcage. She wore a short skirt made out of leaves that stopped halfway through her thighs. Her legs were soft and long and she wore no shoes. Her lips were slightly parted, inhaling and exhaling softly. She moaned slightly in her sleep, smiling, she was enjoying her nap until she heard a growl. It prompted her to wake up. She looked down from the tree and saw Rava. She jumped down,
“what’s wrong girl?” she asked while rubbing the tigress. She growled again,
“I guess you are hungry. C’mon, let’s go look for food. I’m hungry too.” Rava growled and ran ahead of her. She laughed,
“oh Rava.” and she followed her sister into the forest in search of food.
Sandra was at a stall picking out some fruits and vegetables. She planned on making stew for lunch. Ever since she lost Arianna, she’s been very quiet. She’s separated herself from the world and decided to live in her own sorrows. It wasn’t long that everyone found out that Arianna was exiled. Some understood her pain while some mocked her. But she didn’t care. This pain was familiar to her. She had all she needed and went to the owner of the open store, Mr. Brown.
“well, well, well, isn’t it Sandra. Still as beautiful as ever in your age.” he teased,
“oh Jude, stop teasing me. I come here to buy some fruits and all you can do is make fun of me.” she scolded him. He always had a habit of flirting with women. He will never change.
“Why do you speak like that Sandra? I am just saying the truth!” he laughed, “by the way, how are you doing? Do you feel a lot better now?” he motioned her to a chair. She sat down,
“Nothing can take away this pain I feel. But to be honest I do feel better. At least I know my Arianna is in a better place now.” she sighed.
“you are right. May her soul rest in peace,” he said. He felt bad for her and decided to change the topic,
“do you care for tea?” he asked,
She nodded, “thank you for the offer. Tea would be nice”. He chuckled,
“anything for you Sandra.” he winked. “Henry! Henry!! Henry!!!” he shouted,
“yes dad!!!!” he replied shouting. Sandra giggled at the way the sound almost the same. The boy rushed over, his hair all messed up and his clothes dirty. Jude sighed,
“what is wrong with you? You don’t even know how to appear good in front of a guest.” he scolded. Sandra laughed, obviously seeing that the father wants his son to be exactly like him.
“Jude give the boy a break. He’s still young, let him have fun with himself.” she laughed. Henry smiled,
“thank you, aunt Sandra.” He was a nice boy, with a sick brain,
“I can't believe you’re supporting him, Sandra. You know what he is like!” Jude face palmed himself, “go bring us tea. And make it sweet.” Henry smiled at his dad, mocking him.
“yes dad,” he said like a five-year-old making Sandra laugh more.
“oh come on Jude, it’s not as if you’re any better.” his eyes bugged out,
“of course I am!!!!” he exclaimed and Sandra smirked,
“no you’re not.” he sighed again. Henry came back quicker than expected,
“here’s your tea, made by yours truly.” Sandra giggled. Henry was doing it on purpose, just to get his dad angry.
“thank you, son. You can go.” he ground his teeth,
“oh yeah dad, I’m going to see if I can get any game in the forest, so I might be back a bit late,” he told,
“just don’t get yourself killed,” Jude remarked dryly.
“Thanks, dad” he hugged Jude and bolted away. Jude smiled,
“that boy,” Sandra smirked,
“just like his father.” she looked up into the sky. She missed Arianna, but she knows her daughter is happy where she is.
