Carter

Chapter 7

Carter's POV

I arrived home an hour later, and my parents were waiting for me. They didn't look happy one bit. I parked and tuned off my bike when my father looked at me and said, "Carter, do you have any idea how worried we were? I can't believe that you went to see the lady without talking to us about it first."

I sighed and said, "I'm sorry. I know I messed up and I'm not like Ava or anyone. But I'm trying to be the daughter that my father and mother wanted me to be. I need to be who I was meant to be and I'm sorry if I am hurting you both by doing this. I'm the reason why they are dead and I understand that. I'm sorry."

I walked passed them and into my room. I sat on my bed when my mother walked into my room and held me and said, "He doesn't want to see you end up like your father. We all love you. He was your fathers bestfriend and no matter what you are always going to be our daughter."

"I know but why was I dealt with this hand?" I asked her.

"I don't know my child. Now get some rest. Mr. Hail called us to let us know you wish to meet your uncle as well as his family. Once Mr. Hail gets times and everything, we'll take care of that for you. Now sleep," ordered my mother.

My mother left my room and closed the door. I sighed and rolled over to try and sleep. Just then I looked over at my phone because it was beeping.

I didn't text him back. I sighed and rolled over and soon let sleep fill me. Yet sleep wasn't the only thing that filled me, it was also nightmares. I was running away from the fire. People were chasing me. My baby brother was behind me. As I looked behind me, my brother was dead. I ran to my parent's room, there was blood everywhere as well as fire.

"Mommy!!!!! Daddy!!!!!!!" I screamed.

They were dead.

I woke up and cried. Soon my door was open and my dad came walking in. He sat down and held me and said, "Its just a memory. You're safe now."

"Why? What went wrong? Why did they have to die?" I said as I let my father hold me as I let tears slip from my eyes.

"They tried to protect you and your brother. They spelled your rooms to keep you safe. But they had a witch who could dispel the wards and you and your brother were within their reach. You and your brother tried to run, but you tripped and your brother ran back for you to help you. I got their to late. I'm so sorry princess. Maybe you do need some time to learn about your mother's side of the family," My father said.

I hugged my dad and I said, "Thank you daddy."

"No problem princess. I also wanted to let you know that Mr. Hail got word that your uncle and his wife would like to meet you and us tonight, and then you can meet his children. And if you still want to leave with them then you may," My father said.

"What do you mean by leaving?" Said Jagger.

I jumped and noticed that Jagger was standing there watching me. My father sighed and glanced between us. I looked away from him and at my blanket. My father got up and walked over to Jagger.

"Jagger its nothing to worry about," My father said.

"You're lying. I already know that Carter was our late coven master's daughter. What else are you hiding from me?" Jagger asked.

"That's between you and Carter. I don't know what happened between you to, but Jagger no matter what, she is my daughter just as much as Ava is my daughter," Said my father.

It was quiet and someone walked away. When I looked up, I was shocked to see that Jagger was still there. He walked into my room and closed the door and stood where he was. We didn't talk or even look at one another for a minute.

"Carter, I don't know what to say besides what I said years ago, I'm sorry for that. I want to try and befriends again and be there for you," Jagger said.

I looked at him and said, "Can I trust you? Can you be there when I need you?"

Jagger looked at me and said, "I was wrong in what I did. When she died, I realized that I loved someone else, and that person was you. I messed up and now I am trying to tell you how I feel and yet to find out that you are leaving."

I looked away and said, "I won't be that far away, just an hour. Yeah, I'll be at a new school and when school ends, I'll be at the Lady's house to learn what I need to learn. I'll be around just not as much. I need learn who my mother was. I want to know about her. I already know who my father is and was. Please don't hate me Jagger."
