‹In another life, I would be your girl

We keep all our promises, be us against the world›

The One That Got Away by Katy Perry

⌈T⌋he cool breeze of the wind caused rustling of the leaves. Kai Parker has escaped his prison world and started to head to his childhood home. He knocked on the door which his father opened.

"Hi, dad." He said mischievously. He waltzed in his home while his father was shocked. He was observing all the pictures.

"What are you doing here, Kai?"

"Just wanted to say hi to the man who locked me up in there for 18 years." Kai noticed a picture of his siblings and dad with another girl.

"Who's she?" He said holding up the picture.

"That's Ella. You're sister."

"So, I missed 18 years of my life and knowing my sister on a day that just repeats itself? How tragic."

"You would have killed her anyway, like you did with the rest of your siblings!"

"They were in the way." Kai chuckled

"They were still your family."

"Oh well. Where is Ella anyway? I would love to meet her. Speaking of siblings, where are the rest of them? Especially the twins?"

"Coming, which means you need to leave." His father said pushing Kai out of the door. Kai spinned to the side and back inside the house.

"We should have a family reunion. Meet my sister, see my siblings."

"We're having a sort of family reunion, without you."

"Why's that?"

"Because Ella is coming home from her school in London. She graduated and she should be here in a bit."

"I'll just stay." The door opened revealing three of his siblings. Jo, Liv, and Luke. They all saw him and stopped. They spoke one word in sync.

"Kai."

"Hi, there." He smirked.

"What are you doing here?" The door opened again revealing a short, petite girl with slightly tanned skin and dirty blonde hair.

"Hi, guys!" An excited Ariela yelled, they all stood in place.

"Okay, what's with the suspense and who's the guy on the chair?" She continued.

"Ella, that's your brother, Kai." She stood by the doorway staring at him.

"Haha, very funny. Now, who is he?"

"It's not a joke." Jo said.

"What? I'm pretty sure I don't have a brother named 'Kai'."

"You haven't told her of me? I feel hurt, father." Kai said dramatically and Ella sat on the couch.

"Not only am I your brother, but I also killed your other siblings." They all glared at him signaling that he should shut up. Ella got up.

"What?! You guys said they died of an illness! What else have you been lying about?! Having a brother that killed my siblings are a pretty big deal to not tell me!" She stood up from the couch

"We didn't want to scare you and you weren't even born yet." Her father tried to calm her down.

"It was still important!" She grabbed her bags and headed out the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Like it matters, you're just going to use a location spell anyway."

"The coven's not going to like this."

"Screw the coven! I'm out! I'm not going to follow their rules or do what they ask of me! I'll make my own coven, even if it's just me! I'll follow my own rules and do as I please!" With that, she apparated.

"Well, that was lovely." Kai said in the silence while grinning.

Ella reached New Orleans. She used a spell that made her bags small and went into a coffee shop. After she finished her coffee, she walked out. Kaleb was walking when he glanced at her. He couldn't believe it and started to walk closer to her. Her hair danced in the wind. The sun reflected off her light green eyes. He knew it. It was her.

"Ariela?" His voice faint.

She chuckled. "The only one that ever calls me by my full name. Hi, Kaleb." She turned around and they hugged.

"I can't believe it, it's really you. What are you doing here?"

"Graduated, went home, ran away."

"Why?"

"Long story." She saw a girl trying to get Kaleb's attention.

"I think that girl is trying to tell you something." She pointed to the direction.

"Oh, yeah. She's-" When he turned back to face Ella, she disappeared.
