Hey, all. I know it's been a month since my last update, but bear with me, please! There's more coming soon (xmas break), I've been buried under endless piles of work! But yeah, I'm taking a break from studying to update this now.

Ariana took one last look around her bedroom, one hand balancing a duffel bag on the handle of her suitcase and the other tightly grasping door handle. "Ariana", her father called out impatiently, "Let's go!" Ariana closed her eyes, and with one swift move, slammed the door shut.
She hurried down the stairs, coming face to face with her father. He tapped his watch and exclaimed, "How long does it take to pack a bag?" He paused, lost in a faraway thought. "Like mother, like daughter!" he smiled affectionately before saying, "your mother always took so long to pack."
Ariana clenched her fists, trying to suppress the waves of hate directed towards her father. "Does that mean you're going to leave me like you left mother?" She said, mockingly, before stalking out the door.
Ariana's father caught up with her, yanked her back with a jerk of her ponytail. "You insolent little brat", he hissed. "I warned you, didn't I? You are going to regret say that."
Ariana trembled, her scalp aching from the strong grasp of her father's rough hands. "I'll get him back", she thought furiously.
