Love me, Love me Not

Chapter 18

Sariba walked onto the tiny neighborhood that Mia created, with Layla, Dove and the other three sisters behind her. She had her head held high, and Stephanie by her side. The first person to catch her eye, was Mia, who ran over in complete disbelief of who she was with. Not Marti's sisters, but the demon who had tried to kill Tom just months ago.

"Sariba. What is this, what are you doing?" Mia asked as she nervously glanced over at Stephanie. It was early morning so most of the neighborhood was still asleep. Sariba just looked at Mia with coldness in her eyes, and shrugged her shoulders. "I came to get some revenge for dear "sister" stealing my big brother." Sariba sneered. Stephanie smirked at the girl beside her, who had clearly changed in the months since she'd seen her.

Pain can do a thing or two, and Sariba's attitude is proving this. "Revenge isn't the answer, we're good people." Mia whispered. This comment caused Sariba to cackle and double over from laughing. "Good people? You stole everyone from me and you don't even give a shit. Well little Martillas family has been looking for her, so I brought them to her." Sariba chuckled. Mia's jaw dropped in shock as she then saw all of Marti's shifter sisters behind the Southern girl in front of her. "Now please direct me to her house." Sariba said sweetly. Mia simply pointed to a small brown house with brick siding and moved out of her way. She was speechless, she didn't know Sariba for long, but she knew this wasn't like her.

She knew one person who would be able to calm her and she had to call him. She called Carlos and woke him, as she watched the girls make their way over to Marti's house. Sariba knocked on the door of the house fairly loud, and a half awake Marti opened the door. "Sariba, what do you want." Marti sneered. She had her hair in a bun, and the lack of make up was almost a foreign look on her. "Dear sister, is that a way to greet us." Layla said as she stepped out from behind the Southern. Marti glared at the other ginger, who was her twin sister and went to shut the door in their face. Stephanie put her shoe in the door causing Marti to groan in frustration. "Maybe we should be nicer, she did run away for a reason." Emma said softly.

Marti nodded towards the youngest sister and threw her hands up. "Yes, listen to Emma, and leave me the hell alone!" Marti screamed. She walked back into her house, this time leaving the door open, and ran up to her bedroom, with her sisters following her. Stephanie and Sariba laughed at their success of making Marti miserable as they heard Layla and Marti arguing. She was miserable, and it was just what they wanted.  "Are you happy." Carlos said as he came up from behind the girls.

Sariba turned around and huffed at the guy she used to love. Mia would call him to get her to stop. "No, I'm not. That's the point Carlos." Sariba said as she rolled her eyes. "Sariba, come on, you're a nice person. Don't be like this." Carlos pleaded. Sariba saw two young wolves walk up beside Carlos with glares on their faces as a warning, and it caused her to chuckle. They were trying to scare her? Wolves didn't scare her. But they scared Stephanie who disappeared in an instant just at the sight of Carlos. "Maybe we should just kill her.. she's trouble." George said with a growl in his tone. Sariba rolled her eyes at the boys who wanted to kill her, and walked into Marti's house to find her older brother.

The wolves followed her in the house, and around all the rooms while she tried to find her brother. When she finally did, he was asleep in the master bedroom, completely oblivious to the arguing happening around him. She punched him in the chest causing him to shoot up awake with a groan. "Sariba.." James started. But she held out her hand to stop him from continuing and shook her head in disappointment. "You abandoned me for her." She whispered. He jumped up from the bed and went to hug her but she just pushed him away again. "I swear it's not like that.." James said softly. The wolves were watching the siblings argue, and Carlos knew they didn't fight often. Sariba rolled her eyes and laughed at disbelief at James's excuse and pushed a force of wind at him. He flew back and hit the wall causing an indent in the concrete wall. The two younger wolves went to help him, but Carlos held them back so they didn't get hurt too.

Marti and All her sisters entered the room as they saw Sariba over her brother in a fit of rage, and him on the floor in pain. Marti, pissed off, went to attack the Southern, who just sent another blast of wind at the young Eastern girl, sending her tumbling back into her sisters. "This isn't your argument! He's my brother. It's my argument!" Sariba screamed. James groaned in pain, trying to get up, but Sariba punched him to keep him down. "You said you wouldn't hurt me and you lied. How could you!" She screamed. At this point, their cousins, and James's twin, Phillip had heard about the fight, and were on their way to try and stop Sariba before she killed him.

Phillip arrived first, and when he did, he couldn't believe what he saw. James on the floor, bloody, while his little sister over top of him, red eyed and fuming. "Sariba, stop!" Phillip echoed with authority. She froze at his voice and looked over at him, and than looked at James. She gasped realizing that she hurt the one person who cared for her most. Her hands began to shake, and she began to panic. She tried to run, but Carter caught her before she could leave the neighborhood. "Nuggie, it's okay, we know you blacked out." He said softly. That was when she dropped into his arms and started sobbing. "I want to go home, please." She said through her tears. "And I never want to see him again." She said, even though her voice was muffled in his shirt, she knew he understood.
