Love me, Love me Not

Chapter 23

When Logan entered the castle, he was surprised at how familiar everything looked. The floors were the same golden tile, the walls the same stone walls, and it held the same royal elegance it did when he was a child. Although that so long ago, it made him almost relieved to be home. He didn't live in the same palace as his cousin, Mia, but he basically stayed there all the time because his father always hit him, and called him a poor excuse of a son. That's why he ran when he did. With Carlos and Klaus not to far behind him, he froze when he smelt both Mia, and another wolf in the castle with her. The wolves smell was unfamiliar to him, it wasn't Carlos's, who he was used to, and it wasn't Klaus, who he had just met.

It was at that moment that Carlos's youngest brother came out of the kitchen, almost next to where Logan was standing, did he find out what the smell was. Carlos winced at seeing his brother in the castle, at the worst possible timing. Logan, who wasn't familiar with any of Carlos's brothers, except for Andres, immediately went into attack mode, and attacked the teenage wolf. His eyes went red, and he pinned the wolf to the stone walls, almost suffocating him. A loud crash sounded from the shelves above them falling from the force of Javi hitting the wall. Carlos and Klaus gasped at the sight, and Javi tried to fight back but Logan didn't even give him a chance. "Logan..stop." Carlos tried to say, but Logan's grip only tightened on the young Pena as Carlos talked, causing him to shut up.

Mia ran down the stairs from the upper floor, with Andres behind her to see what the commotion was. She gasped as she saw her fiancé being pinned to a wall, and her long lost cousin the one gripping him. She dashed over to him, pushing him off of her fiancé with as little force as she could muster so she didn't hurt her cousin. Andres helped his brother up, while Mia went over to Logan to help him up. When he made eye contact, his mouth gaped open. She had changed so much since he last saw her. She was more beautiful now. She didn't have glasses anymore, and you could feel the power radiating off of her. His mark, a curse given by his father, began to shine a soft pink color. She smiled softly at her cousin, and noticed his shining mark. "I didn't know it glowed." Mia whispered. Logan looked down toward his mark and realized that it was glowing. He didn't know it glowed either. It had never happened to him before. Mia helped Logan off of the cold floor, and gripped him into a much needed hug.

"We missed you." She said as she hugged him tightly. He awkwardly hugged her back, not knowing what else to say. "I wanted you to come with me Mia.." He said softly. He looked down at her with sadness and regret. He hadn't seen his family in almost 60 years. She sighed at the mention of him leaving, and looked down in shame. She took his hand and dragged him to the common room, where they sat in front of a large fire place. She laid on his lap, like they used to when they were younger, and it was like old times. "You know I couldn't. Harry wouldn't let me, and Father wiped my memories after.." Mia said, stopping shortly. She didn't want to mention her two sons, that caused so much trouble that not even they knew about. "I know.. I just wish I wouldn't have been alone for so long." Logan said sighing.

What they didn't realize, was while they were having this moment, they were being spied on. By everyone. Literally everyone. Harry, Andres, Her Fiancé, Carlos, James, Kendall and Klaus were all spying on them through the huge doorway. James had given up on finding his sister, as Logan had explained that she didn't want found, and that she would find him when she wanted to come back. He didn't like the idea, but Griffin had reasoned with him and reminded him the type of person Sariba was. She was stubborn as a bull. If she didn't want found, than she wasn't going to be found. Things between James and Marti haven't been exactly the same since then. He didn't exactly blame her, but at the same time, he did. She knew how to push Sariba's buttons, and she always did. She loved doing it, and she made her snap.

"Maybe we should give them space." Andres suggested. Being the protective older brother he was, Harry agreed with his now half brother. Surprisingly enough, the two got along just fine, but Carlos and Harry could never see eye to eye. This made stuff difficult since Andres was also Carlos's brother, and it caused multiple arguments when he took his new families side over his old ones. When Louis, who was the lost prince, and decided to remain lost, left the picture shortly after he was found, it left an opening of love in the family. Andres swooped in and got the love he didn't get from his father.

However, Sariba was currently in front of the King, panicked. She hasn't had a vision in months. None that had any significance, and now she has one that worried her deeply. One that would ultimately cause her to find her brother, and his friends and warn them. Anastasia, the leader of the vampire government, was coming to kill them. All of them. Even her. Anastasia was scary powerful. She could kill someone just by looking them in the eyes, almost like Medusa, but worse and more painful.

She was trying to tell the King what she saw, but his daughter, Dani kept interrupting her with doubts of her gift. Sariba started fuming, this was a serious matter and some child doubting her, she did not have time for. "Can you just shut the fuck up Dani?!" Sariba screamed at the teenager. Dani looked at her wide eyed, and the King waved his daughter off to talk to his new guard alone. "You're majesty, I'm very worried about this. I saw myself die.. I've never seen that before." Sariba said shakingly. The King sighed and looked at the girl before him. She was just as strong as her brother, if not stronger. She had serious potential. "I'll have guards around the Kingdom, you can go and warn your friends.. if you'd like." The King said solemnly.

Sariba nodded and headed out of the castle. As much as she didn't want to see the Scrubbans, or her brother. They all deserved to know what was coming for them, and for her. The packs couldn't get involved. That might make everything worse, and that very well could be the crime they committed to get them killed. She opened the portal to the human world to head to her cousins. If she was going to warn anyone first, it was them. They cared more than anyone had lately.
