Hey everyone! I know this is super late and I'm sooo sorry! Just I got sick with the flu and it was not fun! So I'm sorry about the delay but I will be back on track from now on. I hope you all aren't mad because sadly this is short, but it gives us an insight on our two siblings lives before moving to Beacon Hills.

Chapter 20

"Is it really that bad?" Orion asked as he looked at me. The despondency in his eyes made me cringe because I knew I was the reason for his despair.

"I honestly don't know if I do believe what that seer supposedly foresaw but what I do know is… I feel this strong connection between us."

Orion's eyes lit up with hope and I closed my eyes in sadness, not wanting to look at him. I didn't want to give him false hope. "But the connection isn't more than friendship to me. I trust you with my life, and if you ask me how I can trust you so blindly-" I placed my hand over my chest. "-Because I feel it here."

Orion's look of hope diminished and he turned to look out the window of my father's loft. His eyes looked off into the distance and I knew he really wasn't seeing anything out there, he was lost in his emotions and they were hurt; I caused him this pain. A feeling of pain hit me hard and I knew that whatever he was feeling was ten times worse. It was written all over his face.

"Orion, it's not that I don't care about you, because I do. It's just…this can't be real. We don't even know each other, not to mention I'm in love with someone else." I said wearily.

Orion let out a sigh of frustration and ran a hand through his hair. I slowly walked forward and placed my hand on his arm, trying to show him that I did care, even if it wasn't the way he expected. He slowly made eye contact and I couldn't do it, I had no choice but to cowardly look away. The emotions that were rolling through his eyes was too much to bare, he placed his hand on my cheek, willing me to look at him and I reluctantly complied. I could feel the tingling sensation of his hand touching my skin and my spirit reacting to him. I felt calm and serene; like no other emotions existed in the world. I closed my eyes and relinquished in the peace it brought me. Suddenly a whirl of emotions hit me, and I sucked in a sharp breath surprised how much his touch affected me.

"I…I love you. I have since before I met you. I don't know how to explain that to you, but I have. It's like I was drawn to you before I met you, like something was pulling me to you. How we found your father, and he led me to you, this can't be a coincidence." Orion whispered, baring his soul to me in more ways than one.

I instantly was hit with love, the actual emotion was coursing through me. I quickly stepped back in fear. Once I was out of his touch I felt no love just shock and fear. I shook my head. "I care about you, but I love Isaac. Those feelings aren't true, they aren't yours."

Orion suddenly had a look of betrayal etched on his face. "I know how I feel about you. Those feelings aren't ever going to change, they are the truest feelings I've ever felt." His tone laced with misery and he shot me one more look of betrayal before turning around and stalking off. My stomach twisted into knots at seeing how much hurt I caused him.

"Orion, come on wait." I called after his retreating form. He didn't stop or even showed that he heard me, he just kept walking. I hung my head and sighed in defeat.

"Give him time." Paige's voice echoed from behind me. I instantly turned around to see her walking down the stairs. Her hair was pulled up into a messy bun and her face looked grief stricken. She was in an over-sized off the shoulder black top and some matching black sweats.

"He hates me." I said as I turned and looked out the window,

"He doesn't hate you, quite the opposite actually, he loves you." Paige placed her hand on my shoulder.

I shook my head at the emotions that were playing around in my heart but the words that were repeating in my head, were contradicting each other. "It's just, I can't love him like that, I love Isaac." The knot in my throat grew.

"Look, you aren't fooling me, you and Isaac are still together." My eyes widened. How could she possibly know that? "Don't worry I won't say anything to anyone, but please if you mean it when you say you don't love him, stay away from him. Give him time to process your words. You both need to get along because you two have a pack to take care of. He will forever be your healer as you are his sentinel." Paige let out a sigh. "But as his sister I'm pleading with you to not lead him on, I see the way you two interact, and I know that the reason it scares you so much, is because deep down you know Kara, that seer, is right. So, if you don't want to be with him, please be careful of the way you act."

I solemnly nodded my head in response to her words. I didn't feel anger at her words I actually felt the opposite. She was protecting her only family and I couldn't be angry at that.

"His love is true. Those are his real feelings. You were the only thing that made him smile after our parents died." Paige said sadly.

I turned to look at her and she was staring out the window, looking like her brother. She had that same look of a memory playing in the back of her mind. "What? We never met before this."

"Jeff was friends with both of my parents. Orion and myself had only met Jeff a few times before our parents were killed." My mouth dropped open as I let out a gasp of surprise.

I walked out of the loft with my head spinning at the news I had just acquired from Paige. Orion and Paige hadn't had the easiest and least to say, normal lives. They had been training since the age of five in combat and herbal remedies, living from city to city trying their hardest to blend in and not to be found, but in the end their parents were still were killed. The Argents killed their parents, simple healers, just because of what they were. The fire that had burned before burned brighter at the knowledge of just how cruel and unjust they really were.

I sat inside my car and couldn't help the tears of anger that flowed down my cheeks. If it wasn't for my father they'd be dead.

"Your father introduced us to Victor." Paige said as she looked out into the distance.

"Wait, Victor Maxis? My father's former partner?" I asked intrigued.

"Yes, he is a healer." Paige turns to look at me and nods in realization. "You didn't know he was a healer, it is written all over your face. Jeff really kept you in the dark." Paige shook her head and looked back out the window.

"What do you mean?" I asked angered at the notion that she knew more about my father than I did.

"Victor and your father weren't medical partners. They own a group home for kids like Orion and myself. It's like a school and orphanage for healers. They taught us how to develop our skills and how to defend ourselves. We learned a bit from our parents but mostly everything from the group home. Your father took Orion and I under his wing, we were like his protégés, that's how we really got to know your father. When Jeff met us for the first time after he saved us, Orion wouldn't speak, he was so scared of everything. He couldn't sleep in the dark, he couldn't even get next to a match without scurrying away in fear. So, one day he took us both out to an ice rink. He tried to talk to Orion but he wouldn't respond until he told him about you. How you were his little spit fire, and always had an act for speaking your mind. He told him the story about how you beat up a boy, Jackson, for shoving Stiles into a puddle of mud destroying his hand knit sweater his mother made. Orion for the first time smiled. It was the first real smile he had displayed in months. He was six."

"I had no idea." I wanted to say more but hearing about how Orion slowly grew better because of me made my heart pang with despair that he knew me all these years and I had no idea he existed. "Wait, what do you mean my dad saved you?"

Paige let out a shaky breath. "The flames were so hot and I was scared but Orion was a lot younger than I; he was just a little kid. So, I pulled him into my arms and I hugged him tightly as the flames grew stronger." Her eyes grew pained as she looked out the window and into her memory. "The smoke was unbearable but I did the one thing I could think of, I sang to him and accepted my fate without fear. Suddenly, like an avenging angel, your father pulled us out of the burning car. It was too late for my parents. They were dead before he got there but your father, he didn't hesitate he pulled us out. I will forever be grateful for him saving our lives but most importantly for saving my brother. He gave him the opportunity to live, even if it isn't a normal life, it's still a life worth living." Paige said with tears filling her eyes.

I watched as the tears slowly flowed down her cheeks and I felt my heart constrict in pain. I hadn't know that my father had actually saved their lives, and it surprisingly didn't surprise me. My father was a good man. I knew that much but I still couldn't look at him without seeing my mother's lifeless body. I placed my hand slowly on her shoulder.

"You don't have to finish, I know, how hard it is to talk about losing a parent."

Paige pulled away from me, turning with a look I'd never thought I'd see on her face and it was directed towards me. "Yeah, I know you do but you still have one parent who is alive. He might have hurt you but he loves you and everything he has ever done was to protect you, to keep you safe but yet you seem to treat him like shit! You don't know what I'd give to have at least one of my parents around. Do yourself a favor and forgive him because if you don't, you might just regret it." Paige slowly turned away from me and walked away.

I walked down into the train station to see Derek standing there waiting for me. I didn't want to meet him here after everything he had done to betray my trust, but I still couldn't turn away from him; not completely.

"Didn't think you'd show." Derek said as he eyed me walking down the stairs.

"Old habits die hard." I replied.

Derek chuckled and shook his head in amusement. 'I don't know why you act like you hate me, we both know you don't because let's face it if you did you wouldn't be here." Derek eyed me with a smug. knowing look.

I walked closer to him and I nodded my head because he was right. "I never hated you, never will but you betrayed me."

"By what? Making your boyfriend strong? Come on Aria, If it wasn't for me he'd be oblivious to everything around him and in even more danger than he already was. If I hadn't given him the bite he would have been shipped off to a foster home or worse, dead like his father. So, you really should be thanking me, now you two can live happily ever after." Derek smugly replied. I couldn't help but feel like there was a hint of something else behind those words.

"That's where you're wrong. We can't live happily ever after because he has to follow your every order. That included almost killing me and Lydia, who by the way was innocent. So, no, we will never live happily ever after, because there is no us, not anymore." I replied angrily.

Derek arched his eyebrow with a pondering look on his chiselled face. "I don't believe you. I know you, you don't give up easily."

"Believe it. Don't you see why I have kept my distance?" I look at him with anger pulsing through my veins. Derek was oblivious to how his actions really played out for everyone else. "You've taken away everything I love." My eyes began to water but I choked back the anger and pain. This wasn't why I came.

Derek's face suddenly grew solemn and he took a few steps forward. "Aria I-"

I placed my hand out for him to stop. "I didn't come here to talk about us. I came because you said it was important. So let's hear it." My voice was devoid of any emotions. I took in a breath hoping that whatever restraint I'd mustered up, stayed intact. Derek's eyes glistened for a few seconds but before I can see any more emotions from him he cleared his throat and turned away.

"I'm sorry for everything and I'm letting you go." Derek said with his back to me. My heart lurched even though he hurt me, the pain of him saying that hurt more than I thought it ever could.

"What?" The word slipped out in a whisper.

"I'm letting you go. You no longer are our sentinel." Derek's words were hard and emotionless but I couldn't see his face. I needed to see his eyes, they always told the truth. I walked forward but Derek heard me approaching and began to walk away.

"Y-y-you can't do that. That's not even possible." I yelled at Derek's retreating form.

He stopped in his tracks and let out a sigh. "I just did."

With those three words he was gone. This couldn't be possible and before I knew it, the tears were flowing down my cheeks. I struggled to comprehend what had just happened. I knew the words I spat at Derek were hurtful and they were my true feelings at the moment but it didn't mean with time I wouldn't forgive him. I rushed off to the one person who could help me, my father.

I parked my car into the parking lot of the hospital where I knew my father was working. I reached for the handle of the door when I suddenly started in surprise, seeing Scott at my window.

"We need to talk." He hurriedly ran over to the other side of my car and got in.

"Now you want to talk? Now you trust me? Well you know, I don't feel like talking." I replied my voice laced with anger. I reached for the handle again but Scott grabbed my hand making me stop. I turned to look back at him and tugged my hand out of his grasp.

"Aria, I do trust you. I have always trusted you. I just-"

"Didn't want me to get hurt." I finished his sentence. "Well if you haven't noticed I am stronger than you think." The anger and hurt from today was just too much and my magic slowly started to take over. My blood was searing with anger and magic causing the air around us to pick and the trees outside to sway fiercely. The wind moaned in response to the speed and the cars around us groaned in protest as the wind hit against them with sheer force. Scott suddenly grabbed my face in his hands as he shot me a worried look.

"Rimi, take deep breaths, calm down. This isn't you." Scott's words seemed to ground me and I slowly felt the magic dying down as my anger dissipated. "Look in the mirror, don't question me, just do it." Scott said as he let go of my face.

I turned to look into my rearview mirror and gasped in shock. My eyes were the color of my stone on my amulet. I moved back a little and suddenly my face, for the briefest second, flashed into someone else, and it was a face I would never forget.

Shoshanna.

I let out a horrified scream.
