My mother used to tell me to live a life filled with adventure and excitement. She always said I needed to look at the bigger picture, never let fear or doubt hold me back, and that when the time comes I should take courage and face the unknown. 

It never occurred to me that those small words of encouragement would one day set my life on a path I never thought I'd have to one day walk through.

   What would you do if you were suddenly told, your entire life has been a lie. 
    That you have quite a line of people who want you dead for reasons unknown to you, simply because you bear the last name.... Carter.
     Well, this is my story of how I struggled to overcome my biggest fears.

HOUSE OF FIRE

“So, what did you think of my game on Friday?” I turn to stare at Rae with raised brows, despite the bruised eye and busted lip she still has a huge grin on her face. 


Her team won the game on Friday so I can tell she’s pretty elated. When Camille was finally let into the game, I finally saw what Eva meant when she said they valued the defects like they do star quarterback in a football game. She was a blur on the field whenever she had the ball in her hands, and she scored 24 goals for the water team. It was like watching a female version of the flash in a field of elemental’s. 


No one could keep up with her speed, nor her strength, I’m pretty sure most player’s ended up with broken bones considering how she’d thrown some of them in the air. I never thought the defects could be that strong, but I guess in a way the magic in their blood wasn’t completely useless.
