Should We Tell You a Fable, Wolf? [Book 2]

Chapter 9 - Home Sweet Home

"A lost of a sister breaks even the strongest" --- Karla Beato.

Nobody's POV.

It's very disconcerting the reality of it all. Kallupa told me that I was here all along; however, I don't know what to believe. In one side, I am glad to be back home. I truly never wanted to leave my mother's side. On the other side, I am sad that I never really went to Oregon and met everyone. They are wonderful in their own way. 

I spent almost two weeks outside of home, but Kallupa tells me I have been under the Fever for 3 weeks. She explains that I have never left home. Ever. This is not something to be discussing. Kallupa would never lie to me, but I am here trying to figure everything out. It doesn't make sense. I am not sure what I keep asking myself this. It's definitely. Yes, I didn't go to Oregon. I didn't meet Richard, Luna, JP, or everyone. Maybe, it was a friction of my own imagination. 

The Fever hit me more than it should now. It usually makes me sleep for a few days or until Blade returns to help me. He is the only one able to subdue the Fever. It usually never for so long. I am shocked that Blade never came to help me. I should ask Kallupa where is everyone at? Where is Hana? Where is Loreine? Where is Jacob? Where is Blade? Where are the twins? Where is J-.

My thoughts stop at the image of Joshua's smile in my mind. I stop moving as memories of what happened to Joshua rush through. At the frozen meadow while the blizzard picks on speed. I felt like I was there as they took Joshua away from my grasp. He was so close to touching, but he became so hard to catch. My heart pains me remembering how I fail to save Joshua. His smile lingers on my lips, "Why the long face, little pea?".

My heart stops on its tracks while I glance up at the voice. My lips tremble just in cue with my tears rushing down my eyes, "JOSHUA!!!?". I haven't ever run so fast for him as my hands bringing him into a hug, "Guessing you miss me? It's only being an hour, pea".

My happy tears swing from my eyes running down my cheeks passing by my smile then falling on his shirt. Joshua hugs me to him. His gesture makes me cry even more when I can't believe he is back with me again.

"We can keep hugging until you feel better. I assure you, Karla. I am not going anywhere.". He assures me holding onto my form while I lay my head on his shoulders, "I am so glad. I can't bear to lose my older brother again".

Joshua stayed quiet at my words hardly understanding my worries. He makes sure not to hold to tight as Kallupa reminded him Karla is healing from the fever.

"How have you found home?". Kallupa asks me while we are seating on the dining table. I glance up at my mother from my dinner plate. I have not many words to explain how happy I have become just by being back home. I give my mother my brightest smile feeling the world around me falling into pieces.

Kallupa, my mother is here. I never left home at all.

I have never met Richard, Luna or everyone else. Loreine was never in danger. Jacob and her are probably in some state having the time of their lives. They wouldn't be doing dangerous stuff. They are alright.
