Faited Curse

Chapter 1: You Just Got A Job Sherlock....

My parents told me the story of how I was born countless times, each time key details would differ from which hospital I was born in, to who was there or helped deliver me. I never showed that I noticed, but I knew somewhere deep inside that they were hiding something from me. The only detail that ever stayed the same was the neckless that I had around my neck and still wear to this day. It was a white a stone fastened with silver wire on a black chain. For some reason I never wanted to take it off because it was the only thing that kept me bonded to my past before I was taken in by the Carters .

"Emma!" Tessa yelling at me brought me out of my darkening thoughts "Why is it that every time I find you you're sitting on the roof? Which is very dangerous by the way" I couldn't help but smile faintly as Tessa's face pocked out of my bedroom window "Tessa your back" She smiled as she carefully climbed through the window the join me "No shit Sherlock I'm visiting in spirit form" I tried to stop myself from laughing. Tessa and I looked very different from each other. Tessa had darker sun tanned skin with big brown eyes and curly dark brown hair where I had pale skin with golden blonde hair and light blue eyes. I was also taller than my sister by a few inches. People found it hard to believe that we were sisters, but we never did we found friendship in each other.
"So birthday girl why aren't you downstairs partying with the rest of the crazy ass family?" And live through another one of mom and dad's lies "I just needed some time alone" She gave me a annoyed look "Emma you are always alone." I looked away from her towards the rising moon "I like being alone" She sighed "Fine I'll tell mom your coming down with the flu or something" I hugged her "Thanks Tessa". She smiled as she carefully climbed back into the window. I stayed on the roof watching as the sky darkened and the moon and stars rose higher.

Today was my eighteenth birthday and in three days time it would be my graduation from high school. My parents wanted me to go to university and study. But I had no interest in going to university. They'd fought with me when I told them, but they finally had to accept that I wasn't Tessa or Trey. I didn't know what I was going to, but at the same time a small voice in my head told me not to worry. I hear my father's heavy footsteps heading up the stairs, I knew he'd drag me downstairs so I did what any not so normal eighteen year old would do. I jumped down from the roof and onto the grass two stories below. I ran to the nearest tree to hide in it's shadow. Once I was sure the ghost was clear I headed towards the gate, pulling my hoodie over my head to shield me from the wind. My parent were use to me disappearing when they had a lot of people around and in a way I think they preferred it.

I walked in silence to the nearest park with only the moonlight to keep me company. I took a seat on one of the swings slowly swinging. The creaking swing made the night seem even eerier as I sat in it. No one usually came to this particular park at night. There were a lot of stories and legends about it one in particular was that it is home to a cult. I smiled at that thinking how stupid they were believing in the cult when there were stranger things happening here at night. I witnessed them so regularly that it had stopped scaring me. I was drawn out of my little world when two deep footprints on the grass right in front of me caught my attention. I gave a small knowing smile "Hey there G man. Trying to scare me again are we?" The wind howled carrying a thick manly laughter with it. I had done a lot of research on this park a few months back and heard a few stories. After following a few I found G man. His flickering form appeared before me. He was a tall slender young man that looked a lot like me with his blonde hair and green eyes.

"Why is it Emma that you are not yet freaked out by being able to see ghosts?" I leaned back in the swing to go higher "Because you said it yourself, I'm one strange human" I heard his laughter again as I stopped myself getting up. "True. You know there were two men here last night looking for you Em" I frowned "They could see you?" He casually leaned against a tree "Yes. But on another note I think you should meet with them" I frowned at his logic "Why?" He disappeared and reappeared behind me "Because Emma I believe they know who you are" That made me go quite. "Emma?" I heard G man ask, but I ignored him focusing on the two shadowed figures that had caught my eyes "You told them to come tonight?" G mam nodded "I'm sorry Emma, but I think you need this." I watched them come closer. I had rarely been afraid in my life, but at this moment I could hear my heartbeat in my ears.
"Miss Emma Carter?" I watched the two men as they came into view. They were dressed in black suites "No" The bigger one of the two men frowned "You are not Emma Carter" I made no attempt to move or speak "She is, she's just being stubborn" G man said moving thru me. His action made me shiver. "Miss Carter we wish to offer you a position in our organization" This confused me "What kind of organization?" The two men exchanged looks "We cannot tell you, you must either accept or decline our offer. If you accept our offer we will tell you".

A million thoughts went through my head "I have no qualifications" The shorter man smiled showing his aging face in the moonlight "Miss Carter you are the qualification" That freaked me out even more. It was like in those old mafia movies where the godfather and his body guard would offer you something in the dead of the night that would seal your fate forever. "You have noticed that your more advanced than most in your family, have you not?" His words made reality dawn on me "You want me to work for you because I'm a freak" They frowned, but G mam was the first to speak "Emma your not a freak, your a hybrid" I sat back down on the swing. "Say what?" The bigger younger man stepped forward "Emma we cannot explain what you wish to know if you don't accept our offer" I looked up into his grey eyes. He was sincere. So true to his word that I trusted him immediately something I never did "I accept" All three men seemed stunned "Ah...right well then we'll be in touch miss Carter have a good evening" The older one said before walking away "Wait what?!" The other one smiled "Emma my name is Allister and we'll be in touch with you before the summer's end" I was still dumbfounded "Have a good night miss Carter" G man and I watched them leave. "What did I just do?" G man gave a small chuckle "You just got a job Sherlock".
