"Practicing without me, huh?" hides a smile behind his hand
Carter
I wanted some alone time..
"Alone time, huh?" grins mischievously "Well, I guess I'll just have to make sure you don't get too lonely." moves closer to Carter
Carter
And why would you do that? look at him
smirks, steps even closer to Carter "Because I can't stand the thought of you being all by yourself. It's dangerous out here, you know.
Carter
Yeah? raises an eyebrow Then why was Benedict let out of his cage…
"Benedict? Oh, he's harmless." smirks
Carter
Really? That’s news to me. frowns
"You're right, it is news to you." leans in closer to Carter "And I love sharing news with you." trails a finger lightly along Carter's jawline
Carter
You’re such a tease..
"Oh, am I?" smirks "Maybe I am. But can you blame me?" leans in, capturing Carter's lips in a passionate kiss
Carter
kiss him back maybe I won’t be alone anymore..
pulls away from the kiss, his eyes filled with a mix of desire and hesitation "Carter... there's something you should know about me."
Carter
What is it?
"I'm not entirely human." looks into Carter's eyes
Carter
..oh?
"Yes, Carter." takes a step closer to Carter "But don't worry, it's not something you need to fear." places a gentle hand on Carter's cheek
Carter
And what exactly are you?
"I'm a sorcerer, Carter." smiles softly "A wielder of magic." raises his hand, causing a small flame to flicker to life in his palm
Carter
so was my mother…
"Your mother... she was indeed a sorceress." pauses, his expression turning serious "But she was also more than that."
Carter
How so?
"She was a part of a secret organization, one that possesses abilities beyond your wildest imagination." leans in closer to Carter
Carter
Tell me more…
"Very well, Carter." takes a deep breath "But remember, this is a secret that cannot be shared with anyone else.
Carter
I promise I won’t tell anyone
"Good." gives Carter a nod "This organization, they call themselves The Order of the Silver Shadows.
Carter
My mother was apart of an organization? Why didn’t she tell me?
"Your mother didn't tell you because... she was trying to protect you." pauses, his eyes filled with sympathy
Carter
Why would protecting me involve hiding her true identity?
"It wasn't just about hiding her true identity, Carter." takes a step closer to Carter
Carter
Then what was it?
"It was about keeping you safe from those who would misuse your power." gently places a hand on Carter's shoulder
Carter
how did you find out about my power?
"I've had my eye on you for quite some time, Carter." smirks "Your power is undeniable, and I knew your mother would have trusted someone like me.
