An Unexpected Return.

Pov. Valentina

Remember the past ?

Who is this girl ?

I stare at the girl with brown hair, fair skin, and bright brown eyes. She also looks at me and smiles in an intriguing way, but then turns her attention to Isabelle who appeared to be transfixed and with a scared face, whoever this girl is, I think seeing her is not bringing back good memories.

I have a strange feeling.

Better to stay alert.

- Aren't you going to say anything friends ? - she asks amused and I see Nick approaching her and looking her up and down with an open mouth and a scared face.

- And yourself Sarah ? - he asks and she pulls him into a hug.

- Of course, the queen and goddess of bitches is back, kneel before your mortal sovereign . - she answers and I get confused.

She seems to be intimate with them.

This is getting interesting.

- I can't believe the city's stall has returned. - says Jensen joining the hug.

- When did you arrive ? - Sasha asks smiling and then does the same as the green-eyed boy.

Henry doesn't say anything, but he hugs the girl too, I look at Isabelle and notice her teary eyes, I move closer to her and take her hand.

- Are you okay ? - I whisper and she denies biting her lip. - Want to get out of here? - I ask and she looks at me.

I feel my heart speed up when I see the tears wet her face and I pull her body against mine and she puts her hugs around my body. I feel like taking her away from here and throwing that Sarah girl down a bottomless pit, but I don't, for some reason I feel there's something big behind this reaction.

- Why are you like this ? - I ask pressing her against me.

- Izzy ? - I hear the girl's voice and look at her who is also looking at me.

- Wait a little bit okay. - I say and she nods walking away.

The girl enters the cafeteria accompanied by the other four leaving only Isabelle and me outside.

- Who is this girl ? - I ask pulling her body away from mine.

- Sarah Miller. - answers and while I wipe her tears.

- She is important to you, right ? I ask and she nods. - So how about telling me what happened between you so that I can understand and help you ? - I question and she sighs looking into the cafeteria where the brown-eyed girl hugged Anaya.

- She's been my best friend since forever. - starts without diverting your attention. - A year and a half ago...- she pauses and her lips tremble, so I hold her hand to encourage her to continue and she looks at me. - Something serious happened involving, Sarah, Carter Mason, son of the former mayor and me. We went to a seniors party, Carter was one of them, anyway... Real shit happened to me and Sarah did something wrong in the heat of the moment to help me and she had to leave town so she told me texted for a year but I never replied and now she's here. - Continues and the insistent tears come back to wet her face.

- She doesn't need to say anything else, if she makes you suffer remember that, then I don't want to know. - I say looking at her to nod. - But if this girl took care of you in a serious situation as you said, then she deserves an opportunity to talk to you. - complete and she nods.

- I'm afraid, afraid that she doesn't like me anymore, that she just wants to tell me that I'm a coward, that she did something bad for me and I reciprocated with indifference, but it wasn't because I wanted to, I was feeling horrible for the whole situation. - she says and I smile at her.

- So she dries those tears, takes a deep breath and goes to face your past and then hugs your best friend. - I say letting go of her hand.

I wipe her tears and push her towards the cafeteria door, she looks at me and then enters. I follow the girl with my eyes and see the other four get up from the table and leave to make room for the two of them.

- I think we should go get some ice cream. - I say climbing into the back of the truck.

- One that lasts the rest of the day preferably. - Jensen says doing the same and then climbs in the back too and looks at Nick.

The blonde does the same, but he looks into the diner and I notice a different gleam in his eyes. When Henry drives out Nick doesn't take his eyes off the diner so I sit next to him on the edge of the back.

- Since when do you have a crush on her ? - I ask and he looks at me scared.

- What ? - he asks nervously making me laugh and Jensen follows me.

- What is Nicholas Lavely Ballard Third, don't be a fool, if even Tina who is new noticed that you have a crush on Sarah, then don't you think it's time to admit it ? - asks Jensen amused.

- Sarah is eighteen, I'll be twenty is one, it wouldn't be right. - he answers and I stare at him.

- Don't use age as an excuse if you don't have the courage to admit that that girl moves you. - I say and he sighs.

- Step slower next time, because it will take him a while to recover from this one. - says Jensen laughing.

- Okay, I've had a crush on Sarah since she was twelve and I was fifteen, but I never said anything so as not to spoil our friendship or her friendship with Izzy, but when she left, I buried the feeling, but now she came back and dug it up. - says and Jensen and I are silent for him to continue. - But this is so wrong, so shitty, because I'm dating Anne and I'm feeling something for her, but seeing Sarah left me confused and I didn't like it, this situation makes me agonized because I don't want to be an asshole. - complete clearly confused.

- I don't think you should worry about that right now. - I say and he looks at me. - The girl has just arrived, she must be missing everyone and at the right time you will know if you really like her and when it happens, you will have to decide who you will be with. - I continue and he nods. - Until then, go on with your life normally. - complete and he smiles.

I hope Isabelle is okay.

And who knows how to handle it.

Pov. Izzy

I take a deep breath looking at Sarah who was looking at me expectantly, but when she saw that I couldn't start a dialogue she smiles.

- I see you are experiencing the colorful side of life. - she says and I get confused and she notices. - I'm talking about the blonde on the cover of a magazine who just needed to put you on her lap and you weren't even liking it. - she says and I smile.

- Valentina and I are just friends. - I say and she laughs.

- Even an animal can feel the sexual tension between you and the way she hugged you if it's not love and at least an eternal crush. - she says and I roll my eyes.

- You've barely returned and you're already having your daily delusions about my love life, but know that I'm still stranded as always. - I say and she gets serious.

She stares at me for a long time and suddenly her eyes are watery, then she turns her face away and swallows hard making me apprehensive.

- I'm sorry Izzy. - she says and I feel my eyes sting. - I know you must hate me now for I left without saying goodbye, but I couldn't stay, what I did had consequences and I had to deal with them far from here so I wouldn't hurt you, because seeing me suffer would do you feel even more guilty about what happened. - she continues and I feel the tears wetting my face. - I sent you messages for a year and you never replied, after a while I gave up, but you are my little sister and I had to go back. - complete and I feel my chest hurt.

- I wanted so much to answer you, but I couldn't, as much as I tried it seemed very wrong, because I thought you had a fresh start far from here and I couldn't spoil it by telling you what I had to put up with, because you, too, suffered to the same degree or even more. - I say and she nods.

- It wouldn't spoil, I'm your best friend, we met this one when we were babies, not knowing how you really were made me feel really bad, because you know how terrible my mother is giving information. - she says and I nod. - But I knew enough to leave a little gift in Meghan and Travis' car at dawn when I arrived. - complete and I smile.

- Don't tell me you passed dog shit on their car seats ? - I ask laughing and she nods.

- Yes, I even left a super nice possum to give a chic touch to their natural scent. - she answers laughing and I shake my head.

- Always causing. - I say and she shrugs.

- If it's not to step on scrotums, I won't even go. -she says and I sigh. - I missed you. - complete serious. - And I really want my best friend back in my life. - she says and I hold her hand.

I confess that I found the contact strange, because when Valentina holds my hand or I hold hers, that feeling always comes...

Good ?

I do not know how to explain.

Not more and that Sarah's is bad, but there's something different about my neighbor's touch, something that makes me feel things I haven't felt before.

- I never left your life, we will always be soul sisters. - I say offering my little finger and she does the same intertwining our fingers.

- Always, Izzy. - she says and then laughs. - But I have to confess something to you, I'm dying to know about you is the temptation girl. - complete and I roll my eyes.

- What can I say ? - I say thoughtfully. - Valentina is an amazing being, she arrived at the moment I needed the most, she helped me even without knowing me well and we became friends so fast that it seems we've known each other for years. - I continue and she smiles.

She has been my angel.

And even at just two weeks old, I dare say that her daily sarcasm would be missed if she had to go back to Germany.

- I understand everything. - Sarah says laughing.

- What did you understand ? - I ask and she shakes her head.

- You're at the stage of playing dumb. - she answers and I get confused. - You're denying the obvious, you're into Valentina. - complete and I make a face.

- You're traveling. - I say standing up when I hear my cell phone ring.

I pick up the phone and see a message from Nick that he's at home with the rest of the staff, I tell him I'm going to take a while to get home, I ask if Valentina is with them, but he says she's out to sort out some business. I feel bad about it, as it was supposed to be an unforgettable day for her, but Sarah's arrival changed the plans, but I'll make it up to her somehow. I look at Sarah who was standing and she holds out her hand.

- Comes my rabid pinscher puppy. she says and I roll her eyes holding her hand. - Let's watch the despair of Travis and Meghan, because practicing evil feeds my poisonous soul. - full animated.

She hasn't changed a thing.

Getting ready as usual.

Curse !

I hate wait.

I pace with Griffin and Klaus sitting next to me watching me circle in anticipation as I wait for Miguel and Anaya. I'm almost biting my nails, almost, because if I did, I'd get a lecture from Genevieve that would last fifty years. I roll my eyes when I hear the noise of branches moving and it doesn't take them long to appear in front of me smiling.

- Good afternoon princess. - Miguel says and I make a face.

- I prefer that you call me Valentina when we are not on formal occasions. - I say and he nods.

'I must say I'm surprised by the pranks fate plays, but it's good to see you're not like Fergus or Genevieve, you sure as hell took Emma. - Says Anaya.

- A pure heart, but uniformed to live with Genevieve. - Miguel says thoughtfully.

- Lets go to what matters. - I ask and they nod. - Why did the Lavelys hide from Nicholas and Isabelle that they are heirs of the first evolved supernatural beings and why your children have no idea that they are also supernatural beings ? - I question and they look at each other.

- Sasha knows who she really is, I taught her almost everything I know as well as her father Jafari taught her how to deal with her animal side, but she doesn't know about the others also belonging to this hidden world we live. - Anaya answers and I'm surprised.

At least one knows and has trained.

- Jensen doesn't know, but he won't have any problems when he finds out and I believe that with Henry it will be no different. - says Miguel.

- More Nicholas will have, he's already showing symptoms, he saw himself killing the girl he's dating, do you know what that dream means ? Your wolf and vampire instincts are colliding as the seal of containment is breaking. - I say and they look at each other.

- You're too young to know how to identify a spell of this level so easily. - Anaya says analyzing me. - What does Genevieve want ? - she asks, leaving me confused.

- That I'm the best is obvious and don't embarrass our entire clan. - I say and she doesn't answer.

- You can handle Nick, you can train him too and if you can't then he must die, because no one else will. - Miguel says and I stare at him.

- What is the reason for all this omission ? - I ask and Anaya sighs.

- We have a blood pact traitor. - she answers and that doesn't surprise me.- "We don't know who, but Nicholas and Emilly found out who someone was giving information about the ten families to the floda reltih clan, valuable information like which of the three main families were chosen to be born the heirs of celestial power. - is still very serious looking at me. - They know that their clan and the Lavelys were chosen, but they did not know that they would be two girls. - completes and Miguel laughs.

- Until everything started to turn into a mess in this town. - says sarcastic. - When Nick and Isabelle turned six and eight years old, the Lavelys' farm was invaded and the intention of this act was to kill the two children while they still had no idea who they were, but luckily, only a few employees of the farm were on time. and were killed. - complete.

- So the council was convened and a decision was made, we would have to end the training, erase the memories of our children and keep them away from this world until we could find out who was behind it all. - says looking up. - On the day the Lavelys died, the council had been called, as they had obtained information about who the traitor was, but they died before the meeting. - complete sad.

I don't even know if they died in that accident.

They may have died later, but the accident was just a front.

One more accident wouldn't kill them that easily, there's more to this accident story and I'm going to investigate, after all this is the reason for me to be here, to find out what happened to Isabelle's parents.

- We know that your presence here is not by chance. - Miguel says staring at me. - I just ask you to be careful, sometimes the enemy is right on your side, poisoning you. - complete leaving me curious.

- Leave it to me. I say turning around and take a step towards the wolves, but then stop and look at him. - Why don't you trust Fergus ? - I ask and he looks at Anaya.

- Not always who comes pounding on the door and who is going to kill you, sometimes who comes asking for help and who wants your disgrace. - she answers and I turn them both around, but I smile at her.

I turn and walk away with the wolves following further behind.

I understand Anaya perfectly.

The worst traitor is the one who disguises his evil with false goodness.

Fergus is arrogant, ambitious and power-mad, but he doesn't have the intelligence to be the boss of something that big, as his blind ambition makes him a complete idiot, but I'll be watching him closely anyway.

And if he is a traitor, I will make a point of killing him with my bare hands.
