Arcana gave a lonely tear as she sat on the deck of the boat they were on to the seaside town of Berlion.She was drawing now this wouldn't have been a big deal but this drawing...It was her last one.Her last one that she would give to her family along with a letter.After a few hours of drawing and spacing off someone yelled out "LAND AHOY!" Everyone soon rushed to get everything ready for port.Arcana gave a sad small smile as she put the last detail in her drawing and signed her name on both the letter and drawing stuffing it after into her bag.The boat docked and everyone got off with no real big surprises.Now Arcana did try her best to smile she really did but...She just wasn't feeling up to it.They got to the castle it wasn't as big as her home or the Knight's castle but it till was a castle,She knew where here room was and like it always is now everyone parted off with their matched one,She looked up to Kaito and it clicked even she didn't go today she still would have never been happy with him...He wasn't her Leon he ....He was some OTHER'S Kaito.She bowed her head at him before running up the steps to the bedrooms.She knew where her was since she had come here every summer with her family when she was a child.Arcana quickly ran inside and slammed the door it seemed to even shake the hallway with it's force.Arcana leaned on the doorway and let herself slide down to the bottom ans there she cried,She cried for herself,She cried for Kaito,She cried mostly cause she wouldn't SEE her family after today.That...That was a hard bit to take for her cause even if she never really showed it she loved her family more then anything but...She couldn't stay here.She just couldn't,That was the last thing she heard in her mind before she drifted off to sleep still on the floor.When she woke up she could tell it was night cause she couldn't see anything!She got up and tumbled her way over to the nightstand and light up a candle.She gave a deep as she picked up her bag from the floor and took out her letter and picture.She hugged them before going out of her room and made her way down the hallway to Vincent's room.She opened the door and set the letter and picture down on his bed knowing once he saw it being the great big brother he was would till them about it."I'm sorry." She whispered before she went out closing the door behind her.She ran back down to her room,Now wasn't the time to get teary eyed no no NO!Now was the time to put her plan forward!She lifted up her bag and swung it over her shoulders and then opened up her window.She could jump from here since she was close to the first floor,She liked it that way.She dropped her bag on the ground first then put herself on the window seal and jumped.She landed with a thump but she was okay!Arcana scooped up her bag and started to run.Part one of the plan done! It toke her about a hour going down hill to get to Sandervill the town where Leon lived!She was almost there...Just a little more running!Pretty soon she got to the Strauss home since it was night they would be home and not baking.She gave some good knocks on the door,She only had to wait a few minutes before someone opened the door.Arcana looked up and smiled,It was mister Strauss!"Cookie!" She yelled out before hugging him."Cana!Welcome back!" Mister Strauss said back giving her a short hug and a pat on the back.They both knew why she was back and what she was here for so Mister Strauss moved out of the way so she could come inside.Arcana bowed her head and gladly came in and shut the door behind her."May I?" She asked.Mister Strauss only nodded and smiled at her.Arcana smiled a truly happy smile before running to Leon's room where he would most likely be.And it would turn out she was right gosh she knew him too well!"Leon!" She yelled out before running to him and jumping on him out of joy."Arcana?...Arcana!" Leon answered back before dropping his book and hugging her close he was shocked that she had come back he thought he had lost her.Arcana looked up to him and kissed him passionately and it was matched with the same fire and passion back.They soon pulled away for air both of them breathing heavily."Leon...We have to go with are plans tonight..." Leon only nodded at this and got up Arcana soon getting up also.They stormed out of Leon's room and went to his parents telling them all that they had planned months ago.His parents agreed and soon they were all off to the church to see the Reverend.When they got there Leon's parents talked it over with him why Leon and Arcana stood there smiling like fools and holding hands.The Reverend and Leon's parents came back to the main church room after a good half a hour.With the Reverend holding a bible he toke his place in the front of the church and waved the two over here they came tumbling over to him like they were drunk but never letting go of one a other's hand.And then the Reverend started speaking."Dearly beloved, we are gathered here on this day in the sign of God-and in the face of this company-to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men.We are here today before God because marriage is one of His most sacred wishes to witness the joining in marriage Leon Alejandro Strauss and Arcana Anneka Esteban.This occasion marks the celebration of love and commitment with which this man and this woman begin their life together. And now through me He joins you together in one of the holiest bonds. Who gives this woman in marriage to this man?" With the last bit Arcana gave a shake...No one could give her off..."I will.Since her family is gone. Leon's mother stood up and said.Thank you so much. Arcana thought.The Reverend nodded and went on."Do you Leon Strauss,Take Arcana Esteban to be your wife to live together after Gods ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon her your hearts deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?" Arcana looked up to Leon with a deep blush on her face,Leon only smiled wider and looked back at her."I do!" The Reverend once again nodded and kept on going saying the same thing to Arcana."Do you Arcana Esteban,Take Leon Strauss to be your husband to live together after Gods ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon him your hearts deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?" Arcana quickly said loudly almost yelling from her happiness "I do!" The Reverend smiled at this."Rings?" Arcana sighed and toke off the hanging from her neck and gave it to Leon why she also took off a ring on her middle figure she only put it there cause she didn't want to lose it.They smiled and looked up at one a other putting the two rings on one a other's hands."You have pronounced yourselves husband and wife but remember to always be each others best companion. What therefore God has joined together let no man put asunder.And so, by the power vested in me by the Almighty God, I now pronounce you man and wife and may your days be good and long upon the earth.You may kiss the bride." And with that they kissed in front of everyone for the first time.They didn't have to hide it anymore they were in love. They both walked down to Leon's parents hand in hand they both gave they're best wishes before hugging them both.Breaking away from the hugs was hard,For both of them.But they had to.Leon and Arcana both ran as fast as they could to Leon's home but the stopped at the doorway.Leon smiled down at Arcana before picking her up and carrying her inside even if he had to kick the door open.He set her down and kissed her right then and there."I love you Arcana." He whispered near her ear.Arcana smiled even more and whispered back."I love you too." After some more kisses and I love yous they shut the door and packed up things Leon needed and got Arcana's bag and boat ticket's and some money.They kissed one more time before set off for the docks.They had really planned this all out they went to the docks and got on a travel boat it was the last one going for the night so they got there just on time!Soon they were off to a whole new land overseas where they could live and be happy.Arcana gave a look to Leon and smiled."I guess we did it huh?" She said why leaning her head on his shoulder."Yeah we did." He answered back wrapping his arm's around her belly and pulling her closer.
The end at least for Arcana~

The last picture she did was of her and her family all smiling and acting like a real family like they did when she was little but they were all older and looked the same as now.At the right hand corner was some words that said "We all are still happy and we are still family no matter what."
