Hey guys! I'm back to my old self! So how about we get to part 4 of Defying gravity?
Aria is 16
Ben and Aria were trudging down the mountain.
Ben was carrying Lillian.
"This is all my fault." Aria said.
"Aria, none of this is your fault." Ben said.
"Yes it is. If I hadn't gone up there to get her back, she would have gotten mad and hurt." Aria said.
"And if you hadn't gone up there, we wouldn't have found her. Aria, you did the right thing." Ben said.
"I've put her life in jeopardy. I'm so stupid." Aria said.
"Aria sit down." Ben said.
They sat down in the snow.
"Aria, you are not stupid. You came all the way up here to get your sister because you knew she was the right heir to the throne. You have determination." Ben said.
"Who did I get that from?" Aria asked.
"Well, you got some of it from your mother and some of it from your grand-mother." Ben said.
"What about you?" Aria said.
"What about me?" Ben asked.
"What did I get from you?" Aria said.
"Well your mom says you got my smile." Ben said.
Aria laughed.
"But you have your mothers laugh." Ben said.
"I do?" Aria said.
"You do. You have your mothers eyes." Ben said.
"Who did I get my blond hair from?" Aria asked.
"Well, me of course." Ben said.
"But I have the same shade of blond as mom." Aria said.
"Aria, you look just like your mother." Ben said.
"Really?" Aria asked.
"Really. You have her personality also." Ben said.
"I do?" Aria asked.
"You do. She would do anything for her sister." Ben said.
"So, I made the right choice?" Aria asked.
"You did." Ben said.
They stood up.
"Now, lets get Lillian back home." Ben said.
...
Mal looked out the window of the castle.
Everywhere there was snow and ice.
Even inside was cold.
She looked down at baby Sabrina, who was asleep in her arms in a warm blanket.
She looked out the window again.
Suddenly, Sabrina let out a shrill cry.
"I know, I miss daddy too." Mal said.
"Mommy! Mommy!" Mal heard.
She turned around and saw Christian running to her.
"What?" Mal asked her son.
"Daddy and Aria are back." Christian said.
"They are?" Mal asked.
"Yeah! Follow me!" Christian said.
Mal followed her son into the hospital wing.
Ben was pacing back and fourth.
"Ben?" Mal said.
Ben looked up to see his wife.
"Mal!" Ben said.
Ben ran over to Mal.
He kissed her cheek.
"Somebody missed you." Mal said, handing Sabrina to Ben.
Ben kissed his daughter's forehead.
"I missed her too." Ben said.
"Where's Aria?" Mal asked.
"She went into her room." Ben said.
"Should I go check on her?" Mal asked.
"She said she wanted to be alone." Ben said.
Mal nodded.
...
Aria was sitting on her bed, thinking about had happened in the past 24 hours.
She started to sing.
Life's too short
To be such an oblivious fool
So reckless
That I couldn't see
Life's too short to be so desperate to be loved
when I only ever thought of me
I wish I saw things clearly
I guess I'm just not the sort
Now all I know
is Life's too short
She broke down in tears.
Looks like Aria isn't doing to good. But is Lilian gonna be okay? You'll find out tomorrow. BYE!
