Love me, Love me Not

Chapter 24

Griffin had just woken up when Sariba knocked on their door that morning. It was 7am, and they were in Australia. As usual, it was a hot day, and the heat caused them to be sticky. Sariba's hair had become frizzy from the humidity, and she had nothing but fear in her eyes when he opened the door that morning. Her eyes weren't the normal calm blue, but a piercing ice blue that almost scared him. She let herself into her cousins house, and asked for them all to be in the room together. Carter's best friend, Carson was spending the night that night, so when they gathered in the living room for her meeting, he invited himself.

She glared at him, with lack of trust before her shoulders sagged in defeat. How did she tell them that they might die? Rather how did she tell them that she was going to die? "Nuggie.. what's wrong." Carter asked, sleep still evident in his voice. She saw that she had waken them all up from her pounding on their door, and as much as she wanted to feel bad, she couldn't. She began pacing back and forth, when Justin got up and grabbed her by the shoulders and looked her in the eyes. "What's wrong Sar.." He asked seriously.

"We're in trouble.." She whispered so quietly, that if you weren't trying to listen, you wouldn't have heard her. They all did, all four wolves heard her. All four wolves were confused. They all looked at eachother in complete confusion, as their baby cousin sat on their couch, looking completely terrified. "What do you mean?" Carson said. Sariba rolled her eyes at her cousins friend. He was always clueless and she hated him, but she tolerated him for Carter's sake. When she looked around though, she saw that her cousins held the same confusion. She sighed and sat down next to Griffin and laid her head on his shoulder. She was exhausted from running. Exhausted from hiding, and now this.

"Her names Anastasia.. and she's coming for me.. and James.. along with a bunch of others.." Sariba said tiredly. Griffin went rigid in fear, and growls came from both Carter and Justin. She looked up at her older cousin and saw the same fear in his blue eyes, that she has in her own right now. Carter and Justin had anger in their eyes. She sighed and rested her head back on Griffins shoulder, and he automatically relaxed. "There's nothing that I can do.. that I know of. She thinks I broke a law, but I don't know what law." Sariba said calmly.

Justin didn't remain calm at all though. He shot up from the couch in anger and punched the wall beside him. Sariba flinched in fear, seeing her cousin so angry was a foreign sight. "You need to figure something out, god damn Sariba!" Justin yelled at her. Sariba flinched again and hid her face in Griffins chest, and started crying  softly. Carter got up and dragged Justin outside to calm him down, but Justin shifted into his wolf and ran into the woods. "I have to go warn my brother.. I just wanted to let you know.." Sariba said quietly as she looked at the floor. Griffin nodded in understanding, as he looked into the woods, trying to see how far his brother went.

Sariba opened a portal to go into the Northern Kingdom, where she knew her brother was. It was time to warn her brother and the Scrubbans . She waved goodbye to her cousins and entered the kingdom, where she knew she wasn't exactly welcome. When she entered, she was greeted by Klaus's older brother, Kendall. He just looked at her with an eyebrow raised, knowing it wasn't like her to even step foot in the Northern Kingdom. "Where's my brother Kendork.." Sariba said with amusement hinting at her voice. Kendall rolled his eyes at the girl he used to babysit, and took her to the house where James and Marti lived.

When they got there, surprisingly enough, it wasn't neither Marti or James who opened the door, but Marti's daughter, Tulusia. She looked angry, but not at the fact that Sariba was there. Sariba could tell that Tulusia already knew of the oncoming threat, and that was only because she was a goddess. "Please.. I need to warn them.." Sariba pleaded. Tulusia let her aunt in the door, and showed her where her mother and step father were. They were currently in the master bedroom, having a movie date night, when Sariba barged in ruining a moment. Marti looked at her supposed sister, pissed off, and James looked at his little sister, surprised she was actually there. "We need to talk." Sariba said urgently.

Sariba shut the door to the bedroom, so Tulusia or Kendall downstairs couldn't hear what she was telling them. She told them about her vision, and how Anastasia was coming for them all. She told them why she thought Anastasia was coming, and she told them who she knew was going to most likely die as an outcome. James and Marti became more and more frightened as Sariba told them about her vision. James knew she never had one so detailed, and for this to frighten her this bad, it had to be true. "There's got to be something we can do." Marti said with worry in her voice. Sariba shook her head doubtingly. "I just saw her killing me Mart, I didn't see anything after. I don't even know if we can prevent it." Sariba said with a tone that James recognized as her giving up.

He looked at her angrily. She was going to give up?! This wasn't like her. "What about Tulusia. She's Cosmos." James suggested. Marti looked over at him sharply, and at the same time so did Sariba. They both said No at the same time, causing James to roll his eyes. "We go into war, and bring all the mindnesses, James, Mia, Lex, Zennit, and Klaus. That way they can bring anyone back if they die." Marti suggested otherwise. Sariba looked at her thoughtfully, that could work, and they can't die unless their killed with their own blood. "That could work, and we could have the packs on standby." Sariba agreed. Marti nodded in agreement. James looked between the two girls, surprised they were even getting along. "I have to go tell Mia.. and she'll be able to tell everyone else.. thank you." Sariba said. She left their house and headed for the Akuchia mansion. Here goes nothing.
