    "Carly what are you doing you can't be mad at me for a decision I made as a teenager"
   
    I snort rolling my eyes, I was mad. Really really mad actually
   
    "I can too! Especially when you made the decision with your dick and not your brains!"
   
    "Imagine all this time i've been trying to pry them apart and all I had to do was mention gena"
   
    We both glare at dad and he stops talking looking to the roof as mum covers her mouth to stop herself from giggling.
   
    "Carly please I did not make the decision with my dick, I promise you"
   
    I snort, not believing him in the slightest
   
    "Your lying, you big fat lanky lier, your sleeping on the couch tonight and ghost is taking your spot in my bed"
   
    I huff getting up and walking out, ghost follows me as Carter gets up
   
    "Carly please"
   
    "Go away you big fat liar and gena better be the only one and if I find out she's not you will be moving into the garden permanently!"
   
    I stomp off down the stairs and slam the door, locking it and going to my balcony and opening it up. I was being completely unreasonable and I was absolutely overreacting but my adrenaline was pumping in my blood and I was so angry I felt like my blood was boiling. I take a seat on the daybed as tears brim at my eyes, Carter starts to pound on the door but I ignore him.
   
    Cleo was up front in my head and she too was angry, so fucking angry that the tears burned as they left my eyes. I wanted to scream, I wanted blood and I couldn't understand why.
   
    He was 15. Of course he would hire the good looking designer and not the better qualified one but still it irked me, the fact that he thought of anyone that way made me feel crazy and illogical. I tried to talk myself out of the anger but it just wouldn't budge. Cain opens up a link to us
   
    "We are sorry Carly, I'm not sure what's happening but are you ok?"
   
    "Did you do it? Don't lie to me cain. Did he like her? And no I'm not ok. Not even a little bit"
   
    I snap back childishly
   
    "What is wrong with us"
   
    Cleo whispers uncomfortably
   
    "Yes he liked her for 10 seconds then she started to talk and he found her nothing but annoying. Is this about the baby?"
   
    Tears flood my vision as I roll into a ball and cry at cains words. Was this about the baby? Was this the pain that I will live with because I won't have a baby for a very long time.
   
    How many years would it be? How many people will I watch give birth in the meantime. Ella and Aaron will probably have one straight away, will I be able to bare it when it hurts so badly that I wasn't carrying my own. How was I ever going to get over this and move on when I can't even get along with Carter.
   
    My heart felt like it was breaking in my chest, it hurt so much I could hardly take a breath to breathe. But it also confused me, I didn't want a baby yet, I had never planned for it and I would have done everything to protect myself from getting pregnant. Yet the fact that I was and that she, SHE was gone and I'd never meet her hurt so badly I wanted to plunge a real knife into my chest just to feel anything that wasn't heart ache.
   
    "Carly open the door I'm worried about you"
   
    I was inconsolable, ghost whimpers leaning on my chest, I hug him crying into his fur. He was my baby now. He licks my face and I don't even have the energy to push him off me and tell him it's gross I just took the comfort.
   
    My mind started to fill with thoughts that weren't my own, things I should do to myself, ways I could try to end it all. My head felt like it was invaded and someone was pushing thought after thought into my head.
   
    Every time I rejected one, another that was even worse hit me. My head felt like it was going to explode as the pressure in it got tighter and tighter until I couldn't breath for crying so hard.
   
    Carter bangs at the door but I can't even concentrate, never mind listen to what he was saying. I close my eyes and hold onto my head as I cry, ghost starts to growl and bark as I try to find relief from the pressure and thoughts it was all becoming too much.
    ————————
   
    Carter's POV
   
    I'd never seen anything like it, she just snapped at me, I could feel something constantly nagging her then one after the other thoughts of suicide hit her, like the devil was at her ear pushing his way into her head. She roars and cries on the other side of the door as I bang on it demanding that she opens it but I know she's barely conscious on the other side.
   
    "Break it down Carter"
   
    I glare at dad, it was his fault he should have shut his mouth instead of throwing me under the damn bus for a decision he let me make when I was 15.
   
    "Do you want her to lose her damn life if I break the door she will lose it completely"
   
    I snap at him
   
    "She's in turmoil, it's like there's something in there with her"
   
    Mum snaps trying to concentrate. My heart races as ghost starts to growl and bark, I hated the damn wolf but he for sure would warn us if anything was wrong.
   
    I pull on my power and push the mist into the lock and I pray this works. Then I hear the click of the door and I sigh in relief throwing it open. As I walk in my heart stops beating.
   
    Carly lay on the floor in a ball, ghost was standing over her growling at a black mist that floated above her. It tried to get at her but he stopped it. I rush in growling and the mist starts to hiss like a snake. I push my power out in anger, it meets the mist above her with full force and it sends it flying backwards but it tries to attach itself to me. It tries to take my power so I pull it back and look to mum
   
    "Get her up now"
   
    Mum races over avoiding my power and she pulls Carly up
   
    "Carly wake up sweety"
   
    "Mum? What's going on?"
   
    She whispers, looking around, her eyes were dull as she tries to wake herself up
   
    "Carly baby I need your power, you need to send this mist away it's trying to hurt you and take my power"
   
    She frowns trying to stand up, but she's shaky on her feet as dad catches her, she forces her arms up as her white smoke spews out hitting the mist, as it touched a portal opens above it and Carly's power corners it, slowly she bends it round like she's a shepherd herding up sheep and she pushes it inside the portal.
   
    As the last of it passes the portal entrance it closes up sealing it away from the world but as carlys power comes back into her body she collapses as exhaustion takes over, dad catches her as she falls.
   
    My heart was racing, just breathing was exhausting as the adrenaline from the moment makes me feel jumpy. I look to my parents who clearly felt just as confused as I did.
   
    I lift her out of dads arms and I place her in bed as tears stream down my cheeks. Not much makes me cry but when she's hurt, when she's in turmoil, when she feels broken it breaks me in ways you would never believe.
   
    "What the fuck is going on? Are these things—"
   
    "-I believe the right word is entities"
   
    I tell mum shaking, whatever that was it's intentions were not good
