Carter

Chapter 5

My father and mother shared a look and then glanced at me. Yet no one answered him. It grew quiet again until we pulled up to the Coven's mansion. We all filled out of the limo when the doors opened. The mansion was built around the 1800s and has been kept in working order over the years. The mansion has been passed down from coven leader to coven leader over the years. This was once my home or should I say one of my homes.

The mansion still had the look of the 1800s and yet it has been fixed up on the inside for the Modern world. We walked into the Mansion and to one of the many rooms, this room was the ball room with the announcer announcing who had arrived.

"Lord and Lady Fallen, followed by young lord Alexander, young lady Ava, and young Lady Carter, and our very own young Master Jagger," The Announcer said.

Everyone stopped what they were doing as we were walking into the room. The Lady smiled at us and greeted everyone. When she finally reached me, she said, "Carter dear after everyone has arrive, I would like a word with you and your parents."

"Of course, Lady Eve," I bowed and walked away to walk around the room. As I did, all I heard was whispers about how I had entered with Jagger. Sighing I walked out of the room and into the gardens. I sat down and pulled out my iPod from my pocket and put on my headphones to block out the world. I found a chair and I sat down and looked up at the night sky that was just about to darken. I slowly closed my eyes and let the music drown out everything around me.

I don't know how long I sat like that when my headphones were ripped out of my ears by Angel and her twin sister Angela. They both were really angry. I took back my headphones and glared at them.

"What the hell were you thinking about coming here tonight? You don't belong here you filthily half-bred. How dare you walk in with our men," yelled Angel.

I said nothing as I just put my headphones back in.

"I can't believe that Lord and Lady Fallen had taken you in. You should die. Maybe I will kill you right here and right now since no one would know or care if you lived or died," said Angela.

I still didn't say anything. Angel and Angela were about to hit me when the guards stopped them, and Lady Eve walked over to us. I paused my music and kneeled down.

"Angel and Angela Clark, how dare you rise your hands at the Princess of this coven," said Lady Eve.

"What?" They both said at the same time.

"Princes Carter are you all, right?" Lady Eve asked me.

"I'm fine. Please let them go. They didn't mean it and they didn't know who I am. They only know me as Ava's and Alex's sister. They are right though. I shouldn't be alive if it weren't for my adoptive father and Mr. Hail," I said.

"Very well. Guards remove the girls for this party and explain to their parents what happened since all of the adults know who Carter is. And send Lord and Lady Fallen out here please," Lady Eve said.

The girls were taken away and I got back up and sat down. Lady Eve sat next to me look me over and slowly placed her hand on my face to make me look in her eyes.

"Carter, you know that this Coven was supposed to me passed on to you," said Lady Eve.

I sighed and said, "I know. Once I marry someone the Coven is to mine again. But I really don't want it. As far as most of the coven know, I am dead. Maybe it would be better if I just stay in the shadows of this world and let the coven be passed on to Jagger. Everyone knows that you will pass it on to him when the time is right."

"Carter-" Started lady Eve, but then my parents came out along with Mr. Hail.

"Lady Eve, are you ready to talk to Carter about what we have found out about her uncle on her mother's side of the family?" Said Mr. Hail.

Eve smiled and said, "Yes. Let's all sit down and talk about this."

Everyone was sitting down, and Mr. Hail looked at me and said, "Lady Carter I have found your mothers brother and I know you wish to know more about your mother and her side of the family as you have your fathers all your life. Your uncle is married to a woman by the name of May and your uncle's name is James. May and James have six kids. The oldest being a boy and the youngest being twins a boy and a girl. Your uncle has four boys and two girls. The names in order are John, Jake, Lucy, Andrew, Rose, Eric. John is 20, Jake is a year older than you are being 19, as well as Lucy being 18, your only 17 unlit next week. Andrew is 17 and Rose and Eric are 16."

Mr. Hail pulled out picture of all the kids and one of my uncle and aunt. All the boys looked like my uncle with dark hair and light skin, whereas the one girl looked like her mother. But the twins were cross between their parents. My uncle looked like my mother, but you could tell that his skin was a shade darker than my mothers.

"He looks like her," I said.

"He does," said Lady Eve.

"Now I have spoken to your uncle James Rivers and would like to meet and talk with you. He even said you may move in with him if you wish to," Mr. Hail said.
