Forgotten (ON HOLD)

13

Two hours.

That's how long I've been at the station and honestly I'm beginning to get bored. Mom and dad arrived an hour ago and are currently taking care of the paperwork to get us both out.

I look at my hands that's cuffed to the table and chuckle seeing as a bruise is forming. I could have broken out of these the moment they were put on but I decided not to.

An hour passes again and I'm about to take a nap when the door opens and van officer walks in.

"Time to go"

I roll my eyes "Tool you long enough"

He shakes his head at my disrespect and unlock the cuffs. I rub my wrist while getting up

"Can't believe you almost beat your sister to death"

I stop walking "She's not my sister and she won't be alive for long"

With that I walk out of the room only to be met with the screaming voice of a woman I assume is Amelia

"Who the hell hurt my daughter. Show yourself" she yells as I leisurely walk towards my mom who immediately gets up when she see me.

"Oh sweetheart, are you hurt? Are you in pain" she looks me over and takes my bruised wrist into her palm while lightly rubbing it.

"I'm fine mom" I reply and she nods but doesn't let go.

Henry walks towards me as well "You really did a number on her"

"I really did" I laugh

"I told you not to overdo it" dad says and I lower my head

"Sorry, I was just angry" I whisper and he hums in response.

"Was is you? How dare you?" Amelia yells out again and damn she is so loud.

I turn towards her "Yes it was"

I see her and everyone else flinch, Sebastian, Elijah, Gabriel and Michael. They all look as if they've seen a ghost which from their perspective seems understandable.

Elijah is the first to break the silence "Eureka?"

The moment my name leaves his mouth Amelia snaps out of her trance "Impossible. No it's impossible. You're dead. You're supposed to be dead"

I nod at her mumbling and reply "As you can see I'm very much alive"

"You're not her. You can't be her. We buried you" this time it's Sebastian who speaks.

I turn and decide not to respond to them anymore "let's go" And with that mom,dad,Henry and I walk out of the station.

HOLY SHIT.

I can't believe it. How in the hell is she here? She's dead. We buried her. We mourned her. How is she here. OMG I can't. How am I supposed to look at her again after what we did.

My princess is all grown up and looks really beautiful. I don't even deserve to call her my princess. I was supposed to protect her but I let her down.

She walks out without even looking at us. I guess she does hate me.

~ Flashback ~

I walk into the house and a tiny body slams into me. I know who it is because she's the only one who runs to hug me whenever I come home from somewhere.

Eureka, My angel, My princess

"Eli you're home" she says with a giggle as she continues to hug me. I pick her up and her tiny hands go around my neck and she hugs tighter.

"I'm home" I say making her giggle harder. I love my little sisters . They're the best thing that has happened to this family even though Ava is always around mom and Alex.

"Shouldn't you be sleeping" dad says and kisses her on the head making her giggle and hide her face in my neck.

"I was waiting for you guys. And I want Eli to tuck me in" she says looking at dad. My training started when I was 10 and now dad has been taking me on meetings him so we sometimes come home late.

"Okay I'll tuck you in" I say making her beam. We kiss dad goodnight and make our way upstairs. We get to her room and I lay her down and I smile making her smile too.

"Okay you need to sleep or you'll be tired tomorrow" I say making her frown.

"But you haven't read me a story yet" she says with a pout. I shake my head and grab her favorite book 'A bear called Paddington' by Michael Bond. I start reading and not even half way through I hear light snores coming from her making me silently laugh. She is sleeping peacefully and that's how I want it to stay.

"I promise to always protect you. No matter what, I'll always stand by your side" I whisper and kiss her goodnight. I reach the door ready to open it when she whispers half asleep "me too".

I smile and walk out not knowing that one day I would break her heart. I would break that promise.

~Flashback over~

I know she will never forgive me but I'll try as hard as I can to earn her trust. I need her. I feel so broken without her. We all do. The day we got the call was the day something died within us. And I just know that we need her. I need her to come home.

But I'll keep her away from Ava. I don't need her beating her up again.
