Of course her father and mother were amazing together but that was for them. It wasn't for Carigan... at least not now. Carigan was ONLY 12... seriously isn't it just a tad early for all this? Or was Carigan just slower than all of her friends. Maybe she was some kind of "late bloomer" of sorts when it comes to getting crushes?

Hamlet, her raven, who had been sitting at the bottom of her bed came hopping to her face and gave her hair a little nibble. She held out her finger and stroked the birds elegant black head and smiled a little still.

Just then Laura spoke to her. Was she okay? "Yeah... Sorry I just suddenly really missed my sister and ran up to the owlery to send her a letter since I don't have an owl..." She said. It was a lie at all... but she still felt bad about what Sophie said. Her mother told fortunes and was amazing at divination... and her mothers mother... and her mother.... and her mother... and her mother... in fact every girl in her mothers family that had been given birth to by a seer had been a seer... and Carigan wanted to be a seer to. So desperately wanted to belong to her family.
