In the heart of darkness

12

  She watches our dads then finally giving in she gets up and goes to mum. Dads glare at me and I grin back at them
 
  "What? It's not my fault you want it pg13 then I needed to mark her so everyone knows she's off limits"
 
  "As if they didn't know that anyway"
 
  Scott mumbles I growl
 
  "Obviously they didn't after what they did last night! Now they have no excuse"
 
  Scott's eyebrows shoot up in surprise and his face softens slightly
 
  "Fine, fine, maybe you're right. But no sleeping in the same room"
 
  "No she's definitely sleeping in my room but we can keep the door open"
 
  I offer, Scott screws up his nose as jaxon ponders the idea
 
  "I'm ok with that"
 
  "Me too"
 
  Mum shouts from the kitchen
 
  "Fine door open"
 
  Scott says leaning on the table and rubbing his face with his hands.
 
  "What about school?"
 
  Daniel asks
 
  "She doesn't need school"
 
  I snap they all snort
 
  "Hell no she needs an education"
 
  Mum tells me, I groan I hate disagreeing with my mother she's the best person I know and I am a huge mummies boy and I really don't like to upset her
 
  "She can finish online"
 
  I offer her
 
  "Or I could just go to school and finish and maybe you could all talk like I'm in the damn room"
 
  Carly grumbles adding batter to the pan, mum seems to agree
 
  "No I don't want you around all those people after what they have done"
 
  "I won't be around them, I'll be around those who did nothing wrong. What do you expect me to do all day anyway? All you do is workout and I'm not doing that I'd lose my ass"
 
  Mum and Scott snort and laugh and I can't help but smile. Even with her powers she's still hilarious
 
  "What! Do you realise how much I need to eat and then squat for this butt. I'm not losing it now i worked way too hard on it"
 
  I can't help myself from cracking up
 
  "Fine but if your going to school I'm going to school"
 
  "Aw that's a good idea, my sex life has went down hill since you finished early, I say we send them both back so we can get it back on track"
 
  Jaxon tells me I heave on the spot
 
  "Has it heck! You 3 never stop and if you're not bloody doing it you're thinking about it. Do you realise how hard it is to block that out"
 
  I cringe, shivering at the thought my parents were gross. They were always doing something dirty or thinking about what they were going to do when I left the house.
 
  "I agree they both go back"
 
  Mum tells us smirking Carly screws up her nose
 
  "Seriously he's going to scare everyone away"
 
  I growl she looks at me shrugging her shoulders
 
  "Oh come on it's true and you know it"
 
  "Well maybe they aren't your real friends if they can't put up with me"
 
  She purges her lips and then she smiles deviously
 
  Carlys thoughts
  'We could ditch and finally have the chance to make out without them in our face'
 
  I grin back at her
 
  "Ok so what else?"
 
  I ask trying to avoid my parents gaze before they guess what we are thinking
 
  "No sex"
 
  "Dad your so unreasonable"
 
  Carly mutters angrily, scott growls
 
  "No I am not your too damn young you shouldn't even know what sex is"
 
  She snorts rolling her eyes
 
  "Oh please we have ears you know, by the way you are filthy animals. You do know that right?"
 
  Mum snorts piling pancakes onto a plate and she points to the cupboard so I get up to set the table. My body was itching to go to her, every hair stands to attention around her, it's almost painful not touching her. I move fast, the faster I move the faster I can get back to her again.

  Carlys POV
 
  One minute I was numb, in shock, unable to process what I had done when suddenly I'm hit with everything. All my pasts and all my possible futures. Then the overwhelming feelings I've always had for Carter like they were there behind a wall hiding with my power but I'm hit one by one by all of it. My body moulds against his as all the love I have for him hits me. Our connection is forming, blending into one. My power working through his, mine taking half of his dark as he takes half of my light. Making us one. His skin vibrates against me as it wakes me up like his skin is mine. I kiss and suck on his skin feeling it on my own shoulder. All his emotions over the past 10 years hit me one after the other. All the love brings a tear to my eye.
 
  How had I not known? How did I not see it
 
  "Because he took our magic to let you be a child, now it's back, we are equal and you will feel it all."
 
  Cleo says softly as she works, It's like she lets a little bit out at a time, mixing with my personality and making me feel full, I lack nothing without him. My mind works as my body kisses him, my subconscious pulling on a prediction of my parents sending me to Ardens to keep us apart. I panicked looking through the others and there was only one thing I could do. It would be hell without him, I would get ill because I couldn't filter his light. We would slowly get sicker and sicker both emotionally and physically.
 
  Cleo pushes forward taking over and just when Carter realises what we are about to do I sink my teeth into his shoulder, marking him as my own. I'm hit with each emotion as my parents lose their mind. Freaking out that I would do such a thing but I cling to him terrified that they would take me.
 
  Carter growls, grabbing me and he yanks us back across the floor just in time. Dad was about to rip me from his arms. Suddenly I feared being away from him more than I feared anything ever before. He was mine and nobody would separate us now.
