A New Discovery (The dryad discovery 1)

Mr.Carter

(Lucy)
Voltron Mansion

The tea looked nice with a lavender scent mixed with raspberry syrup to lighten Lucy up. Mr and Mrs. Voltron patiently waiting for Lucy to speak. Taking a breath to speak she introduces herself, "nice to meet you Mr and Mrs. Voltron. I'm Lucy," she shakily replied. Both of them smiled, "please call us Jennie and Jordan. Nice to meet you too Lucy, can we see your parents? We will like to meet them."

Lucy bites her lips with great force that she can taste the blood on her lips and almost on the verge of tears. "I'm sorry was that personal," Jennie responded. She nodded, all of her life, she never knew about her parents nor the idea about her family if they are alive or dead. All she knows that she is an orphan at best, however she wants to know her parents and what happened to them. Jordan places his hand on top to rub hers to comfort her grief, this is something he masters judging by his soft gesture and he keeps doing that nearly all of his life to his parents and children.

"Do you ever look at people who have some characteristics of you when you were younger? Maybe like the pink eyes, brown hair or tree markings on your arms?"

She shakes her head the tree markings on her obviously made her a stand out, Jennie hears a doorbell coming from the entrance. She opens the door for Lucy to see a man with brown hair, fair skin, and ocean blue eyes. Lucy swears that man looks familiar, but why is unknown.

"Oh right, Lucy meet my good friend Carter from my business," Jordan introduced Carter to her. Carter greets Lucy with a similar gesture to Jordan, but Carter asked her a question.

"Do I know you?"
Lucy shakes her head, Jordan tells Mr. Carter that he will attend a business conference within an hour. Telling Lucy to stay with Carter for a while. She doesn't know why Jordan wanted her to stay with Carter, but the feeling around feels welcoming her.

"I see, your guess is that you're an orphan by a woman who seen you. How long you haven't seen your parents or family?"

Lucy fidget her hands a little to answer. Mr. Carter is so curious about her, why is he so curious about her background? Does he want to use her? No, Mr. Carter seems to be a good person. She looked at Carter for a minute, then at her hands. Finally, she replied, "for about nearly twelve years. What about you? How long you haven't see your younger daughter and your wife? You have an older son that Jordan told me."

Carter stay silent for a moment, he really doesn't want to answer it. She can see that by his somber expression on his face and frown. Shoulders slumped down to answer her being genuine about the question. It's also personal to him too. "Lucy, I haven't seen my daughter for about twelve years and my wife...about fifteen years after my daughter was born. All that is left is my son." He finally answered while he stare at the glass shield.

Lucy pressed her lips together, was that a coincidence? Carter never seen his daughter for twelve years while she never her family about twelve years at best. Why she was gone for so long? Who was the one who kidnapped the baby or was the parents really die that Lucy listened with the godmother?

"Lucy, how old are you now?"

"Sixteen. How old are you when your wife and daughter are gone?"

"I was twenty six when my daughter disappeared, twenty three for my wife. Currently, I'm thirty-eight. Many people say that I look in my mid twenties, but I'm in my late thirties."

She could feel the sadness in his heart, longing for his family to be reunited. Dryads uses Empathy link to learn the emotions of other people in close proximity. "Are you alone in the house, if you are I can company you." Carter smiled, shaking his head. The car stops at a house with her favorite flowers, Starlight Daffodils.

"I haven't ask you why you said earlier," Lucy pointed. Carter parted his mouth a little bit to here this. Lucy explain that why does he ask her that does he know her, it seems strange to see someone you just meet tell you this. He laughed to say that is just a joke. Lucy feels that there is something more than just a joke. Brushing that off for now to enter in the gorgeous house.

Walking towards the house feels...like home. It's irritating her, why is this case? Only her home is the Heavenly lily forest, or was she told a lie?

Opening to the door to enter the house. She was shocked to see.
