He scoops her up and carries her inside ignoring my question. I looked at mum who was still in a daze on the ground. We all seem to deal with it, coming in and out of a daze, a trance, lost in our head completely. Nana lilly comes to our side pulling us off the ground and walking us inside. She pushes us towards the stairs so we follow her direction and do as we are told.
Fay is waiting for us in mums room, she pushes us towards the bathroom as she runs the shower checking the heat before turning back to mum and pulling off her clothes, lilly does the same for me and they push us into separate sides of the shower. I stand there watching the blood run down the drain unable to function.
Is this how it will always be? In and out of a daze. Numb one minute and blazing in pain the next? Would it ever end? Would the pain ever go away? I can't imagine me ever being able to cope with it.
Nana turns the shower off and throws a towel around my body and she leads me out of the room and into the closet, she helps to dry me then dress me in sweats and a baggy hoodie, pushing me down to put on fluffy socks then she brushes my hair. Tears run down my cheek as she works in silence.
"Any more word on Carter?"
I ask her, it was no louder than a whisper. She shakes her head sadly
"Just whatever the news is saying, they seem to have cameras following him around"
More tears fall, the thought of my brothers grief was to much to bare. She plaits my hair then takes my arm and helps me up and back out of mums room just as dads walk in. I stop outside her room, the door was open and I peer inside.
She was so bubbly and got so excited about strange things, her walls were covered in pictures of buildings she has drawn over the last few years. She was so talented. Nana starts to sob beside me so I pull her to my side and we walk the rest of the way downstairs where everyone was scrubbing the floor, the tables, the chairs, damn even the walls were covered in blood. Nana directs me to the sofa but I stop looking around
"Where is she?"
"In your old room, sit down and have coffee first"
Nana tells me, my chin wobbles but I nod laying down on the couch and rolling into a ball. I sob not being able to bare the thought of her just laying there cold, unmoving, hard and gone.

Lucy's POV
My babies were gone, dead and gone. I knew we would lose Carter the second we lost her but I never expected it to hurt this much.
I have never truly been hurt before now. I'd never felt pain like this pain, my baby girl dead in a matter of seconds. It all happened so suddenly that I couldn't process it.
I go from moments of pure rage to being completely numb the next. I didn't know what to do or how I was going to continue to live on. Fay dressed me then walked me down the stairs where everyone was scrubbing the blood from the kitchen.
She died right there? Just gone. My heart constricts at the sight and my legs give out as a strangled sob leaves my chest and I whale as the pain encloses me. I roar and cry, unable to do anything else.
drake picks me up as I cry into his chest, my heart felt like it was being ripped out of my chest. I couldn't cope with the pain, I wanted it to be all gone. I just wanted to die and nothing more. Drake cries into my shoulder as he sits beside Ashley, the 3 of us sob and soon I lay nose to nose with Ashley hiccuping.
Grief was a scary thing, it was hard to cope with on your own. But even as a group it broke me in 2.
"Holy fuck look at him"
I turn, sitting up to watch the tv. I watch as they record Carter at an abandoned old play park. He pulls the place apart screaming, his power flying out and catching a huge jungle gym, he pulls it apart bit by bit. Throwing it towards the forest with his mist. He punches the slide screaming. Suddenly his mist starts to circle him like a tornado, pulling anything it touches into the heart of it and destroying all in its path.
Then suddenly everything went 'boom' it was like a bomb went off, his power just explodes as he blows a crater in the earth and he sends the canera man flying through the air with a scream. The footage was cut off and the news man came back on the channel.
My heart was drowning in pain at the loss of both of them. The world truly will end at his hand and this time I don't blame him. I'd kill it all too, it's poisoned and sick. Full of disgusting sick people who are ready to jump into your place and take what doesn't belong to them because really that is what it is.
I took the glass of whiskey that pops brought me over and I down it, laying on the sofa and pulling a blanket over my head. It was the middle of the night and it's not that I'm tired but more so that I'm drained. I feel Ashley climb in beside me so I pull the blanket over her and we hold each other, praying that if I sleep that I would wake up and see it's all just a nightmare.

Carter's POV
24 hours, 24 hours where I haven't seen her smile, heard her laugh or say something smart. 24 hours of not hearing her talk or scold me, 24 hours of not hearing her constant running Commentary in her head, 24 hours of nothing but pain.
All of my emotions drove my powers to work, crying out to find our mate. It doesn't seem to understand that she's gone and the only way we can go too is if they take the powers, so I leave a trail all over America. I wreak and destroy football fields, parks, parking lots. Anything big enough for me to blow a hole in it.
My mist chases everyone away, they run in terror as I approach them but that was a good thing. Carly wouldn't want me killing them. I might have lost my humanity but not my loyalty. Not my loyalty to her and she lives by rules so— sorry she lived by rules. Like never killing humans. They were not ours to rule over or kill. That was up to their government. Not that I cared about them. I don't. I care what she would think of me.
My heart breaks again for the millionth time, each pain slightly worse than the last.
I take a seat on a bench in a park. I wasn't far from the national park now but exhaustion took over after not sleeping or eating or drinking since she died in my arms.
I close my eyes and lay back on the seat. My mind can't stop, it just circles with memories of her face, her heartbeat. My heart broke over and over again. I couldn't cope with the pain of it any longer. I just wanted to die. I just wanted the witches to come and kill me. When they take my power they will have the strength to end me, hopefully for good.
The power won't really be theirs until I die anyway. It will always belong to me and siphoning that won't make a difference, I will always be it's master. Always be able to control it or take it back when I please.
The longer I sat, the harder it was to cope. the harder it was to cope, the harder it was to control my powers. Then something inside me snapped, all thoughts of control went out the window as the turmoil inside me expanded. Pain smashed against my chest as I realised once again that she was dead.
I scream falling forward and onto my knees as the wind whipped around my body. The sky darkened and thunderclouds rolled in as I screamed punching the ground.
I needed to feel something that wasn't emotional. I pushed myself to my feet and I waddled to the clearing behind me. The wind whipped around my body, pulling trees from their roots and throwing them across the ground. Lightening started to crack around me. I stood there with my arms opened wide
