Ariel kept on running despite all the yellings of her name from Cole who chased after her but she didn't stop. She had to get to the mating ceremony before it began so she would convince Carter to not reject Avril.
She ran and got into the flower garden through a back door she saw that wasn't guarded. She put on the hood of the sweatshirt and sneaked quietly into the flower garden where she found an empty seat and attached herself to it carefully without attracting unwanted attention to herself.
The mating ceremony has begun already and no one was meant to walk about, in order to not cause distractions.
"Shit" She cursed under her breath, watching Carter standing beside the elderly man that would perform the mating ceremony. If only Cole had let her go since, then she would have met with Carter in time before the ceremony began.
