Once upon a time

Chapter seven

"Why are you laughing? And where is Ari?" He tried to command the old lady.

"Young unrequited love your beloved Ari is off marrying off to someone else while your here saving her. Literally shoving your love into to someone else." Said the witch humorously.

Jay already knowing this, believed that he could take Ari away from the horrid place. But hearing the witch say it would of made him feel hopeless but instead it gave him more courage.

" Wouldn't it be better to Leave her here where she will never get into the arms of another man?"

................................

Ari, among the other bird chirped and flew around her cage trying to create attention to tell Jay that she was in love with him.

.....................................

Jay saw one particular bird covered in blue and gold feather flying around her cage causing a ruckus, he knew that was Ari. The witch annoyed at the amount of movement caused by Ari, struck her  with her finger. Jay anger by this, took the flower of love out quick and gently tapped it on the witch causing her to bellow and curse in rage.

Glad yet feeling guilty Jay tapped on every cage releasing birds that turned into ladies. They all thanked him and blessed him happiness on the journey in love. Quickly he turned to Ari's cage and tapped on her cage. Her lifeless body was limped, fear clung to his brain and heart making him all hurt, he gently shook Ari and tears started to drop down in droplets one landed on the flower of love and dropped onto Ari's body.

Suddenly Ari's finger twitched, Jay who was crying stopped abruptly, cleaning himself up. He gently tapped Ari with the flower of love. She fully awoken her eyes sparkling with happiness a gentle smile formed on her face as she woke.

"Thank you, Jay, for not giving up"

And he hugged her, and took her away from this place. The flower love still clutched in his hands.
..............

Days later when Ari was healed, Jay and Ari decided to plead their love to each other. Jay proposed to Ari asking for her hand in marriage, Ari delightfully agreed, and both parents(foster and biological ) agreed as well and the wedding took place in the countryside on open land. They made a garden and planted the flower of love there to symbolize their love. .

And they lived happily ever after
The End.

The moon smiled gleefully at the show and disappeared into the clouds searching for another tale.
