Martha had already told me about Clyde and about my mother being a twin. She had mistaken

me for Jake’s and Evie’s child at first but when she had dinner with Clyde later that week

reality had hit her like a ton of bricks when she realized who’s child I really was. That’s why

all the candid talks about my father had abruptly stopped. She wanted me in her life, but her

son, despite being raised by his grandfather, had become his father’s spawn. She had led him

on to believe I was Jake’s daughter, that is until he met me and realized otherwise. Martha

could pull it off as a simple mistake seeing how Jake had been in my life and my mother and

my aunt were twins. I saw them both as my mother now and understood so much about how

Evie had been with me. She was terrified of me becoming my father’s child. All the lies that I

had been told all my life fell away forgiven. I understood. Had only I known this all before

Creedon. I swallowed as I thought. Would I have come here had I gone to the lawyers sooner?

Probably not. So in a way my ordeal had brought me here, to Carter, to my people, to my

purpose.

A dragonfly flitted in front of me, I tilted my head watching it as an immense feeling of calm

washed over me. It was like Jake’s presence stood steadily by my side. I watched it hover in

front of me. New beginnings huh? I felt Jake’s presence, it seemed to nod in agreement. Deep

within myself that other presence hummed within me and cradled that secret i was holding as

if asking its opinion. My instincts answered instead. This mattered more than anything. I’d do

what Jake asked, my father was a monster; someone I could string up with the likes of

Creedon. The presence seemed to sooth through me, as it coiled within me, she agreed too.

Who was I but an inflictor of the karma they had earned? But Clyde would have to wait his

turn, Creedon was an immediate threat to everything that mattered to me. When the wind

took the dragonfly away, I was reminded of why I had pressed Lana to go home. I couldn’t sit

with this information, I needed to know what Carter thought about it before I even considered

doing what Jake asked, because running from Creedon was safer than staying here. He had

kept me safe, lured out that piece of myself that made me stronger, I couldn’t do what Jake

asked without him by my side.

“Carter, I have something to tell you.” I said turning around, well aware of my tearstreaked

face. I didn’t care, if he truly was my safe harbor, the one meant to love me with every part of

his being, he deserved to see me in all my forms; even broken. The wind blew against me

“There should be no more secrets between us, what I am about to tell you, I understand if you
