Ariel, a sixteen year old girl, was finishing packing her stuff to move out… again… and it was all because of her father`s job.

Her father Triton came into the room and asked –Are you ready Ariel? – as he went closer to his daughter. Ariel answered –I`m almost done dad– as she put the last things in her big blue suitcase. He then said –Ok but hurry up cause it`s getting late and we`re going to lose our flight, I`ll wait for you in the car– and he left as he finish saying this. Ariel sighed and then said and then said to herself –Travel again, change my home again, I can`t get adapted to one place… same as always…– she then closed her suitcase, took it off the bed and headed to the car with it.

Four hours later… Triton was sitting next to Ariel and Jane was sitting next to Carlota in the back seats. Triton turned around to see his daughter with an empty look in her face headed to the window. He sighed and said to her –Ariel you always have the same look every time we travel, cheer up, I`ve heard Agrabah is a very beautiful place– Ariel said without taking the look off the window –It doesn`t matter if it is beautiful or not, anyway we`re leaving in a couple of months, like always–. Triton put a sad look in his face and he was staring sadly at his daughter wishing he could do something to make her happy and to see her smile like she did when she was a little girl.

Other two hours later… Everyone got out of the car and grabbed each one their suitcase. When they saw what was in front of them they were all thrilled with their new home, except for Triton who knew exactly how it looked like. Triton then said –Welcome to our new home– as he pointed the big mansion that looked more like a palace. The house was white and it had many towers that had the roof in the bottom oval shaped and in the top it was sharp-pointed and it was bronze color. Everyone got in and they were even more thrilled with the in-side: big pure marble halls, walls with clear tones to match and lots of fancy decorations all around. Ariel went to find a room and to install on it, Jane, her home-teacher and her supervisor, was following her as she carried hers and Ariel`s suitcases. When they got to the room Jane said to her –Beautiful place don`t you think? – as she handed her the blue suitcase. She then answered –Yeah I think so…

–Ariel you always have the same face every time we move out, I know you are tired of moving and traveling, but look at the bright side not everyone has that chance of traveling and of meeting new places like you do…

–Yeah, but I never get the chance to make friends, I never have the chance to go to school like any normal girl, I feel that I`m locked up in some sort of crystal ball that I want to brake!

–Oh I know Ariel, but you have to remember that you are not alone, you have your father that loves you very much, and you have me and I love you like if you were mine.

Ariel smiled and gave Jane a hug and said –I love you too Jane– Jane then broke the hug and said as she put her hands in Ariel`s cheeks –Now you redhead, unpack and let's go and walk around Agrabah to get to know it alright?

–Sure, although I think it`s not necessary cause probably we`re leaving soon…

Jane took her hands off the redhead`s cheeks then she stood up and said with a serious look –Ariel…– Ariel looked at her and answered –Fine… I`ll go– Jane then smiled and said as she headed to the door –See you in 10 minutes– Ariel stated to do what she was told to, and when she was done she decided to change her clothes because it was so hot in Agrabah. She put on a white short, a blue short sleeves blouse, to match her eyes, and white snickers. Then she headed to find Jane and when she found her she said –Jane I'm ready– Jane then answered –Ok, let's go.

–Wait I'm going to tell dad we're leaving.

–Ariel your dad already left, he had to go to a work meeting.

–Of course he did, he always does... whatever lets go…

–Lets go– and both of them went out to explore Agrabah.

At the same time, but a few miles away from there...

John Hawkins came down the stairs with a big smile in his face that caught all the family's attention. His mother Sarah asked –Can you tell why you are so happy? – as she held a funny smile in her face. He answered happily –Well I am going to see Anya and... I am sure now what I want, so... so I'm going to ask her to marry me– everyone (Sarah, his father Sinbad, and his younger brother Jim) had a surprised but at the same time happy smile in their faces. Sinbad then said as walked next to John –That's my son!– and Jim said from where he was sitting –Congrats, bro– John then said –Thanks family... would it be alright if I bring her to dinner, you know, to celebrate?– Sarah said –Of course you can! And I want to help you guys with the wedding plans– he then said –Great, see you in a while– and he then grabbed his things including his gun and he left without saying anything else.

20 minutes later... John made it to the woods where he planned to meet with Anya. He started to walk around the trees until he saw his girlfriend, a beautiful orange hair and blue eyes girl and she was wearing a light blue dress and she had a light blue loop holding her hair. When he saw her he started to feel a little nervous, he pulled a little black box out of his pocket, he opened it an admired the ring, it was a gold ring with a beautiful and big ruby and with little diamonds all around it. He then put it back in his pocket and walked to where she was, he grabbed her from the back in her waist, she smiled because she knew perfectly who it was and she said –John–

–How's doing the most beautiful woman on Earth?

–Happy to be with the most handsome man in the world.

She then turned around and kissed her boyfriend with love and care. She broke the kiss when she saw his gun and asked a little surprised –Why did you bring your gun John?

–Well we don't know what could be out here, I must be prepared– she then put a serious face, but he reply –You know that is true what I'm saying and I won't let any beast hurt you…

–Nothing bad would happen.

–That's what I'm hopping Anya…

And going back with Ariel...

She and Jane were walking all around Agrabah, visiting sales and meeting people, or at least Jane was doing that because the only thing Ariel was doing was watching some mountains covered with trees that were not so far away from there. Jane then said as she held some jewelry in her hands –What do you think about this? – but Ariel was too busy with the view, so she couldn't listen to her. When Jane noticed Ariel wasn't paying attention she said –Ariel? Are you listening to me?– Ariel then turned back to reality and said as turned her face to look at Jane –Sorry Jane, it's just that I was watching those mountains... Let's go there!

–Did you lose your head? There must be lots of wild animals in there!

–Oh please Jane! You know how much I like nature and animals! Let's go! Please!

–No way! And that's my last word!

Ariel sighed angrily and crossed her arms, but Jane just turned around and minded her own business. So Jane asked to the sales man –Excuse me, how much is this? – and that way she continued talking to him. Ariel saw that Jane was too busy and decided to go to that place. Jane then continued talking with Ariel –I'm not sure if I take it... What do you think Ariel?– she then noticed that no one answered so she turned around and when she didn't saw the girl there she said to herself –Ariel? Oh I would have to put a GPS on that girl! Ariel! – and she stopped what she was doing and started to look for Ariel.

Meanwhile in the woods...

John and Anya were talking and John said as rubbed the back of his head –Well Anya the reason I wanted to see you today is...– Anya saw he was a little nervous, so she smiled and said –Yes?– John then continued –Well we have being dating for a long time and I have to admit that from the moment I met you I fell deeply in-love with you– Anya smiled and said –me too– John smiled back and continued –That's why I want to ask you something– John then got on his knees and took out the black little box. When Anya saw the box the opened her eyes as tears begun to came out. John then said happily –Anastasia would you be my wife? – she put her hands in her mouth as she started to cry. She was so happy that she couldn't even talk so she just moved her head up and down trying to say yes. John understood that she tried to say yes so he took the ring off the black box, she gave him her hand; he took her hand and put the ring on it. He then stood up and hugged her as she hugged him back. Anya broke the hug to kiss her fiancé with love. But then something started to sound in the bushes that were behind them so John reaction was to break the kiss, get his gun and stand in front of Anya to protect her. Then he said to her –Don't move Anya– as he pointed to the bushes with his gun.

–John...

–Shhh...

They both stayed quiet until they saw something moving in the bushes and they heard a little roar. John waited until he saw something orange and black striped and he immediately knew what it was. Anya turned as with as a paper and she tried to scream but she couldn't, the words wouldn't come out until she breathe deeply and said with a scared tone –T-t ... tiger! – John didn't wait more and shot the animal but for their surprise it wasn't what they expected because when they saw the animal fall death they noticed that it was just a tiger cub. But immediately two more tigers, the cub's parents, came out of the bushes and they were not happy, they were roaring with all their strength as they came closer to John and Anya. John then said worried –Anya run…

–But John

–Run!

Anya started to run away as she started to cry. But one of the tigers, to be a little more specific the female tiger saw her and started to run after her. Anya turned her head around and saw the tiger so she screamed and ran as fast as she could, John heard the scream so he shot the tiger and it fall death. The male tiger saw that and got mad so he jumped over John, he was fighting to get out but the tiger was fighting too cause it was very mad and it won't let him go. Anya saw that the tiger was trying to bite John to kill him so she yelled –John! – with a desperately tone as she ran to where he was. She tried to push the tiger from the side part but it got even madder and it hit her with one of its claws but it hit her so hard that it threw her away. John saw his love laying on the ground so he yelled worried –Anya!– he was so worried about her that he, from God knows where, took out the strength he needed and he started to push and push harder until he could get the tiger off him. He then looked for his gun, that had fell when the tiger attacked him, and when he localized it he ran to get it as the tiger stood up and came behind him. He then jumped over it to get it, the tiger was about to attack him but Hawkins turned around and shot, the bullet hit the tiger in his foot and it fell. The animal couldn't stood up so John thought he finally killed it so he smile with satisfaction, but then he remembered Anya and ran to where she was. He grabbed her in his arms without lifting her of the ground and said with a worried tone –Anya... please Anya wake up– she opened her eyes slowly and smiled when she saw the love of her life in front of her, and she said with a low voice –John...

John answered –Anya I...– but before he could say anything else he noticed that the tiger had hurt her with its claws in her chest and she was bleeding out. Anya coughed, because she wasn't getting enough air, and took the ring off her finger and put it in John's hand as she said –Take it John, keep it– he said as tears started to came out of his eyes –What? No Anya, you are going to marry me, you are going to be fine... you have to be fine– She then answered as she started to cry too –Sorry John, it was good while it lasted, I would have loved to marry you, since I met you I knew you were the man for me, you are and you'll always be... but maybe I'm not the woman for you, things happen for a reason, and maybe I'm not the one, although I thought I was, but remember John Hawkins I love you and you will always be in my heart, always…

–Anya, don't say that! You are the one! I am sure of it! I know it because I love you! I love you Anya! You are going to marry me! You will! I know you will! You'll see! You'll be fine and we'll get married!

–You liar– she said with a funny but at the same time sad smile –I love you John more than anything in this world, I love you so, so much!– and she then started to close her eyes slowly until she was white and cold.

–Anya! Anya! Come on Anya! You can't go! You can't leave me! Anya! Anya! You can't be dea... no, you can't Anya! Anya! ... I love you...– he was yelling as he cried, he tried to move her so he wake up but it was useless, she was already gone. He leaned to kiss her love in her white cold cheeks. He then heard something behind him, when he turned around he saw the tiger was alive and it was getting up. He then said as he took his gun and stood up –It can't be... no! You dam tiger! – the tiger shook his head and saw John coming quickly, ready to kill him. The tiger started to run but it couldn't run very fast because of his feet but it did it anyway. John started to follow the tiger because he was mad and the only thing he wanted to do at that time was to kill the beast that killed Anastasia.

Not so far from there...

Ariel was walking around the woods and said to herself as she looked at the nature –These place is beautiful!– but then she heard two shots close to her. She was so scared and she didn't know what to do, so she went to hide in some bushes that were close to her. While she was hidden she saw a beautiful tiger that passed running and tried to hide in the woods. Then she saw a blond blue eyes man that had a look of deep hate and was standing in front of the bushes where she was hiding. John, when he noticed the tiger was gone, yelled angrily, furious and desperate –I will kill that tiger even if it is the last thing I do! You hear me beast! I will kill you! I won't rest until you're dead! – he then left to where Anya's body was.

Ariel's heart beat was getting faster and faster, she was completely freaked out because of what she saw. She started to wonder what had happen. And why do that man wanted to kill the tiger? She wanted to follow that animal to make sure it was ok, but...

Would o wouldn't she? Will she dare to go deeper in the woods, to risk herself to be attacked by some animal? How brave Ariel was?
