Chapter 10: Lulu's Cry

7:30p.m.

"Welcome home, wild powers, soulmates, friends, and children." greeted Nilsson. Jez, Morgead, Illiana, Maggie, Delos, Galen, and Keller had finally returned from a really long mission. Morgead was sulking still, because such a troublesome mission had failed. Seven years of their lives spent search for someone.

"Finally home!" Maggie cheered. The whole group walked down the main hallway to the lounge to report to Thierry. Their shoes scrapped against the pale blue carpet. Their children followed behind.

Jez & Morgead's daughter was named Izabel Blackthorn. Morgead was the one who named her, to Jez's dismay. That "Bel" part in Jez's name pissed her off very much, image how much Izabel hates it. Izabel was age 14. She had eyes the color of blue-green, her hair was dark brown. She dressed with jeans ripped at the knees and a leather jacket with a black t-shirt under. Mini biker!

Next was Maggie & Delos's son Demi Redfern (named by Maggie). He was 11 years of age. It was easier to say Demi was the spiting image of Delos. Sometimes Demi's mother would refer to him as Demi-Delos. Demi- partly, lesser, half.

Last were Galen & Keller's twins, Halo Drache and Haven Drache, as named by Galen. Halo and Haven were 13 and almost identical. Both had pitch black hair; Halo's was shortand straight, but Haven's was waist-length and wavy. Halo's eyes were gray, Haven's was golden-green. Halo wore a simple black t-shirt and jeans. Haven was wearing a black, long-sleeved mini dress. She wore regular skinny jeans under.

The parents and children and Illiana entered the lounge where Thierry and Thea was already there waiting. "Welcome back." Thierry said and smiled. Heaven saw her brother's face expression. Halo looked calm, but he also looked triumphant. He knows something, Heaven concluded.

"Why don't you kids go to the game room with the other children." Jez said to the four children.

"Yes, wouldn't it be nice to see your cousin, Maia, again, Halo, Haven?" Galen asked them. A maid showed up to guide them. Halo brushed past his parents.

"I think Maia is a bit preoccupied right now Father," he said and left with Haven following. "He he he." he chuckled to himself, but his mother and sister heard.

"Bet I can beat you in a race Izabel!" taunted Demi and he ran like the wind. Izabel twitched. "It's Izzy you idiot!" Izzy yelled back and ran after him.

Now that the children were gone, the adults could discuss the issue.

"Did you find him?" Thea asked. Delos shook his head sadly.

"No, we checked all our leads dry. All we know is he's somewhere in the U.S." he said. It got quiet.

"Does Quinn and Rashel know yet? Does anyone besides you two know?" Keller asked.

"No, but I think the forget spell on Rashel is wearing off. She's been having nightmares about him, but she still doesn't know." Thea answered.

10:30 p.m.

"I'm not sure about this." Aria/STILL IN MAIA'S BODY!/ said, as Cally dragged her to the backstage of the Gray Hibiscus.

"Relax. It will all be fine." Cally assured her. In the back, you could hear the performer's song clearly.

"Free me
Before I slip away
Heal me
Wake me from this day

Can somebody help me?
Somebody help me
Somebody help me"

The song was done and the two girls Cally and Aria needed came in the room.

"Lulu! Kari! We need your help!" Cally almost screamed.

Lulu winced. "You got one set of lungs on you, Cally. If you're looking for Seth, he just left to find you." she said.

Kari saw their appearance. "You guys get in a fight?"

"Never mind that!" Cally said. After explaining the situation, Lulu shook her head. "… So we need to find out Aria's unfinished business!"

"Isn't it obvious? Cally, Aria need's to confront her father and apologize." Kari confirmed.

"I'm not going to talk to him!" Aria yelled.

Lulu shook her head again. "Let me talk to her."

Lulu walked past Kari and Cally, grabbed Aria's forearm, and dragged her out the Gray Hibiscus. They walked all the way to the park a few blocks away.

The grass was dark green, flowers in bloom, and there was a lake with bridge over it. The little children had gone home, because it was late. Aria and Lulu were left standing on the bridge, alone, only hearing the sound of cricket's talking and only to feel the cooling mist. Aria may have looked rough, but her face showed utter amazement by how the cool blue water sparkled with the moon. Lulu leaned on the wood railing and stared at the moon, as if ignoring all reality.

"I used to live in a city about leaf, but everyone there always called it a village." Lulu said so suddenly. Aria turned to Lulu wanting to hear the point of this information

"My parent's worked as stealth warriors for our village. They took great pride in their work. But they were always on their missions. I wouldn't hear from them months at a time. But one day, a witch came by. He took me and others away, to here. I've been here ever since. Kari was mad at me for awhile, because I didn't care about what my parents where doing, what was happening with them. But why should I? They didn't ever care about me, or my siblings."

"Siblings?" Aria asked.

"Yeah. I'm a triplet. Kari is my sister."

"Do you have a brother?"

Lulu nodded. "Yes."

"Where's he at?" Lulu started crying.

"He was taken. Kenji…"

Aria frowned. "Where? Why?"

"I don't know where! I don't know why! We were only six. These other people came by with the same witch, grabbed him, and drove away with him. I was too weak… I couldn't stop them! I cried for my mother and father even though I knew they would never come!" Lulu was sobbing now. Aria look stricken with shock and grief for Lulu and Kari's loss.

"I still remember Kenji screaming at me, 'Don't worry, Lu! They can't keep me held down forever!' then he disappeared at the end of the street."

"I'm so sorry, Lulu." Aria said.

Lulu whipped away her tears. "Anyways, the point is that you can never take opportunities to be with your loved ones for granted, because they could be smiling at you, watching the rain fall… then they can be gone."
