Love me, Love me Not

Chapter 33

"Uh.. Hi James.. It's Sariba.. This is probably my fifth or so time calling you. You usually answer me so I hope you're okay but um.. I kinda miss my brother so.. call me back.. please.."

James had gone to Spain with Marti to visit her family, taking their daughter Navea and Tulusia with them. But at some point of being there, the whole family got attacked and killed, and at the time only Erika and Tulusia escaped. Tulusia was currently at Mia's house with Erika, on the second floor with her cousins trying to calm down.

"They're talking about me.. what if they send me to my father.." Tulusia said with a shaken voice. Scarlet looked at her with worry in her eyes, and Dean hugged her. "We won't let that happen Lu.. I'm sure my mom would keep you." Scarlet assured her, but Tulusia just shook her head. Than they heard yelling from Keaton. He was screaming about how they weren't planning on telling Sariba that her brother was presumed dead. "We can't Keaton.. she's already unstable." Carlos argued with the young wolf, who just rolled his eyes. "If Wesley or Zennit had died, I'd want someone to tell me. It's fucked that you don't want to." Keaton screamed at his old alpha.

Mia pulled her son back by the collar of his shirt, while he huffed in defeat. Tulusia held her head in her hands crying while Dean held her in his arms. "It's gonna be okay Lu.." Dean said calmly to his best friend. A short while later, while the adults were talking about what to do with Erika and Tulusia there was a knock on the door. It was Logan who answered the door, and behind it stood James, covered head to toe in his own blood. He had in his hand, a stuffed bear that his youngest daughter always held close. "Oh my god.. James.." Logan said shocked.

Hearing that James was at the door, everyone in the house ran to the front room where he stood, clearly in shock. "What happened.." Mia asked the southern.. who just shook his head and collapsed on the floor weakened by the events. Carlos and Kendall each wrapped an arm around them and lifted James up to have him sit on the couch. "James.. you're alive.." Tulusia said when she finally came downstairs. James saw her and his eyes lighted up and he attacked her in a hug. They stood in an embrace for a couple minutes until Tulusia looked down at the stuffed bear.

Tulusia chuckled, and softly said "I never understood why she liked that so much." James who didn't realize she was reminiscing glared at the young girl in offense, but softened at her broken stare. "They're sending me back to my father.." Tulusia said shaking her head scared. James wrapped her in another hug and shook his head. "No, no they aren't. You and Erika are coming home with me. Whether they like it or not." James argued. Tulusia sighed in relief at his words, and Carlos entered the room to break up the sweet moment.

"James.. you're sister is worried sick about you.." Carlos said sadly. She had also been asking Carlos if James was okay, but since he didn't know the answer, he couldn't say anything. He knew that she had been calling him constantly, and he knew that she knew something was up because James wasn't answering. "Alright.. I'll go visit her in a little bit.. I need to clean the blood off of me.." James said softly, and left, taking Tulusia and Erika home with him.

Everyone looked after them as they left in sadness. They knew Marti was dead and they didn't know if they could get her back, but Carlos and Klaus were going to find a way to try and do it.
