Impossible

@ Jinx...
Harper sighed out in relief, if he had wanted to Logan could have easily done something to her. Instead he treated her privacy with respect, something she was starting to see now. Used to she just thought it was because he was trying to bribe her, make her want to like him. Now she seen he was trying but what had changed, why had his thoughts and attention changed. Used to he'd show up at her job and bring her flowers, he'd gotten her in trouble more times then she could count. But it all changed when he found out she was a Meta. Was he disgusted by her now. Or was he just showing her a different side of him. What confused her was why now, had he have shown her the side of him that actually cared she'd have been more willing to date him instead of refuse him. Though she did refuse him solely because she was a Meta. Now her secret was out, what that what had changed. Because honestly she was his property and he could do as he see fit, even if that means bedding her, with or with out her consent. Pondering over her thoughts she pulled out some clothes slipping them on, before sitting before the food he'd brought her. Her stomach growled in discomfort, though she wasn't hungry. As she couldn't shut off her mind.

Carter looked down at the box in his hands, he knew if it was medication it wouldn't work well on him. His system no matter how similar to humans was still different. It was like Meta's burned off the drugs faster, he wasn't sure if it was true or not. But he'd remembered giving Harper some drugs for a fever when she was younger and it didn't do anything like she'd never even taken a dosage. "Night," he murmured out looking up at her. Before heading towards the door. "Thanks." He said before exiting her room and heading for his. He was exhausted from the week long torture, plus the lack of food. Laying out across his bed he closed his eyes, falling into a dreamless slumber. Having forgotten all about the box Abby had given him.

Logan went through his day until lunch time arrived and he made his way to Harper's room. He knocked announcing himself. "Harper it's Logan. I have lunch. Might I come in?" he asked kindly and waited for her to respond to him. He was sure the change in him confused her but Logan thought it was simple. Now that Harper was his he had to prove that he deserved it and he wanted her to know he wanted to earn it not force her into this. Logan knew things would always be backwards for him but he hoped that wouldn't always be a bad thing.

---

Abby had simply given him a pair of ear plugs. They were specifically defined for abilities that caused those that could hear well to not hear them as strongly as normal. It was in essence able to block out the majority of the little things that could keep someone with intense hearing awake. Abigail trudged back up to her room later in the night and showered off then pulled on a nightgown and fell into bed asleep in moments. In the morning she woke to the smell of eggs and toast in her room. She sat up hearing the coffee being poured and smelling it. "Mmm." she sat up and smiled. "Good morning Ms. Abigail." Leah said and smiled. Abigail smiled and stretched out. "Morning Leah and I told you please call me Abby." she said. Leah was the closest thing she had to a friend but she was more like a sister with how bossy she was when orchestrating her schedule.

@ Jinx...
Harper looked over towards the door, before standing up out of the chair. Smoothing over her outfit, she moved to the door. Opening the door, she looked up at him. "I'm not hungry, Logan." She said softly, after days of refusing to eat, eating a small meal fill her up more than she thought it would. "But please come in." She muttered to herself since he'd walked into her room anyways.

---

Carter woke up, rolling out of bed before making his way down stairs. This was the first time he'd felt freedom in over a few weeks. Moving to the kitchen he smiled, the smell drawing him. Smiling he noticed it was empty, and a fresh pot of coffee beckoned him. Pouring himself a cup, before taking a mouthful of the warm liquid. "Man I've missed this." He moaned.

@ Bongs Before Bibles
Logan smiled as she opened the door received to see her fully dressed this time. He frowned as she said she wasn't hungry. He stepped in seeing he last meal hardly touched but she had eaten off of it. He sighed. "I wish you would try snacking off it but I will let that be you're choice." he said and looked around then back to her after setting the tray down. "Is there anything you need? I am sure you are getting tired of these four walls." he said metaphorically because the space was a little more geometrically different. "We could go for a walk if you would like or perhaps I could have someone escort you to the crafts room or something like that." he said not sure what she liked to do when she had nothing else. "We have a library if you would like to pick out books." he said and smiled softly trying really hard to appease her.

---

Abigail smiled as she finished her food and coffee while Leah went over what she wanted done for the day. "You literally planned out time for me and Carter to get to know each other..." she said and laughed. "Why do I have to visit Kathrine again. She's such a nasty woman?" she said and Leah sighed. "She is you're aunt and you're father thinks it's important for you to stay connected with you're family before you drop completely off the grid." she said and Abigail sighed. "Alright." she said and then stood as Leah took the tray. "I guess I should get to it." she said and then went to her bathroom. She cleaned up then stood in her closet looking at cloths until she picked out her outfit for the day to please her aunt as well. Abigail walked down stairs and into the kitchen for her second cup of coffee. Abby smiled seeing Carter looking thrilled over a cup of coffee. she smiled. "Good morning." she said and poured her cup and put creamer in it and then leaned against the counter in her bare feet. She refused to wear shoes as much as she could. "You hungry?" she asked and then moved to where they left the left overs of breakfast and smiled as she handed him a plate letting him dish what he wanted. "They haven't figured out you're routine yet. If you just tell them how you want you're meals then they will accommodate you. Leah usually brings mine to my room to brief me of my day in the morning but I could join you in the dinning room if you prefer." Abigail said and smiled at Carter as she slipped into a stool and pressed her hands into her warm mug.

@ Jinx...
Harper looked at Logan, rolling her eyes. "why bother?" She questioned him. "Babysitters, I'd rather sit here and be bored then bother with babysitters." She told him, holding the door open, for him to leave. Part of her wanted to go on a walk, and to roam the house. But she didn't want someone leering over her watching her every movement like some kind of freak. The staff here already hated her and treated her poorly, so why make bad matters worse.

---

Carter took the plate from her before setting it beside him on the counter. "Thanks." He informed her, before going back to nursing his coffee. He never ate before he'd had his coffee, sipping from the cup, he watched her as she bounced around the kitchen. "I'm fine, really." He smiled, at her. Listening to her bare feet slap against the floor as she moved. "Is there anything particular I'm suppose to do?" He questioned her, wondering about his job. He knew protecting her was a given but didn't know what her preferences were as far as her likes. No hovering, stand ten feet away, things like that. She was boss and he aimed to please.

@ Bongs Before Bibles
Logan frowned. "Well I could join you if you rather. I wouldn't consider myself a babysitter just company." he said and frowned wondering why she hated everyone here so much. "Harper you would tell me if the staff were not treating you well wouldn't you?" he asked knowing he would fire them without a second thought. He had already sent the order out that Harper was to be treated like the lady of the house and an honored guest despite them seeing her as a Meta he expected his orders to be followed.

---

Abby bit her lip and tilted her head to the side. "Do?" she asked and shook her head. "No. It's pretty safe most the time at home. It's when we go out that it gets more risky and even then it's pretty eventless. But really I don't care what you do Carter. I really am just happy for the company but... I know that is not what you are here for. You could do what ever you like in the house in my option, my mother might think otherwise but I won't tell her... although Alex might." she said and shook her head a soft smile of compassion on her face as she talked about the old man. Abigail looked back at him. "You know how to do this job best and I have a feeling even if you were across the building you would still be able to protect me. That being said I will have Leah work up a copy of my schedule for you daily. For now I will just tell you about any outings. We are going to lunch at my aunts in the city then a little shopping and I am meeting with Ronald and Jessica for lunch in the afternoon and depending on how the day goes I might decide to stay out a little longer but we will see how it goes." she said and smiled softly. "I should also warn you about my aunt. She is well she is very traditional and proper. So I apologize in advance if she completely ignores you or mistreats you in any way." she said and bit her lip. "But as far as what you're suppose to do... I will leave that mostly to you and Alex. If you need anything then let me know of course as usual and I am sure we will work out the kinks as we go but Carter I would rather you not act like a servant even when you're guarding me. When I introduce you to people I will more than likely call you a friend." she said and bit her lip looking down into her coffee. She set it down and sat on the counter then looked back at him and smiled sipping her coffee. "Is there anything in particular I should do?" she asked back at him.

@ Jinx...
Harper frowned looking over at him, "I don't think that's a good idea." She informed him, before turning towards he food he'd brought. Moving to the desk she looked over the so called food. Shaking her head she picked the tray up and carried it back to him. "I'm not being treated poorly." She said before handing him the tray, the food on it was perfectly fine, but not edible. "Why don't you eat it, you know since you're always concerned about me eating, you must not be eating proper either." She told him, before grabbing a fork off the tray and putting some of the food on it before offering it to him.

---

Carter smiled at her, "just be yourself, if anyone wants to kill you they cant do it amongst people of the public." He shrugged, "and I'm used to being treated like the hired help. So really Abby, I don't mind at all." He nodded. "It's difficult to change, I'm not used to not having free will." He frowned, before grabbing a peace of sausage and taking a bite of it. "All I ask is that you listen to me, no matter where we are." He informed her, he knew that his abilities were a great asset to have incases like these.

@ Bongs Before Bibles
Logan frowned. "Alright if you think so but I am always willing to hang out if you like." he said and smiled gently. "I am glad to here they are being kind. I know it's not an easy transition but they should warm up to you as they get to know you." he said. He watched her put the food on the fork. "I have been eating properly why are you worried?" he asked and looked at the fork. "I won't disagree to take what you offer though." he said having yet to eat lunch himself. Logan moved forward and took the bite off the fork. He smiled as he chewed looking at her wondering if she was worried he was lacing the food or something. He wasn't of course. He wanted Harper to be trusting of him. Logan also was making sure she got the best they had available so he didn't think that she might not like it but now that he was trying to figure out why she might offer it to him he wondered if perhaps her tastes were different.

---

Abigail smiled. "Carter I wish that were true but they have tried before in public. I'm not safe anywhere. In fact the last attack was the reason my mother was looking for another guard. I told her I took care of myself but she didn't like that." she said and blushed. "I wish I could give you all the free will you use to have but I am giving you all that I can. I will listen to you best that I can Carter but I have been cooped up in the house for the last couple months since the last attack and I really need to get out so if you're orders are we need to leave then you're going to have to explain that first and I will take calculated risks. I need you to understand I will treat you as an equal not my superior." she said and sipped her coffee. Abby hoped that he could understand the difference to her saying no for selfish reasons and saying no because she didn't respect him.

@ Jinx...
Harper frowned at Logan, "I'm not concerned about you at all." She informed him. "I just wanted to see if you were easy to manipulate as you are at manipulating people." She smirked at him, knowing that he looks had always played a part in her ability to control people. It was a trait she'd picked up from her brother, he was easy at reading peoples situation and figuring out the right words to make them bend to his wants. It only worked how ever if the person was swayed enough. And right now she knew that Logan was holding true to her being important to him. Though she didn't understand why.

---

Carter nodded before taking a sip of his coffee. "My understanding your mother believes you have a certain secret that doesn't need to get out." He told her, "so when things go down it's better to listen then get all the facts, I am damn good at what I do, and observation is my strong point." He smiled at her. "It's how Phillip and Alex's knew to go looking for you as quickly as they did." He chuckled, "it's also why I don't need a map of this house to find where your mother slept last night." He informed her. "I have skills that some wish they could have." He blinked before nodding at her. "Though should the moment comes when I need your input I'll ask for it." He smiled at her, knowing that she didn't like not being in control. But that was his job now, and she needed to know that at any moment a situation could go down that requires acting and then thinking.

@ Bongs Before Bibles
Logan smiled. "You don't need to manipulate me Harper I want to please you, that being said I also want to keep you safe and in order to do that I might have to sacrifice your desires for you're safety until I can see you're feeling better and right now I see that is not the case. "Keep the rest of that perhaps you will get peckish at some point." he said and took the old tray and walked out. "Send for me if you change your mind about getting out of this room Harper I will happily join you." he said and walked out. Logan was in control even with he little things she was trying to manipulate him into doing. He didn't mind relinquishing control to Harper on there little things and he wondered if that bothered her.

---

Abigail's back straightened as he took his aggressions against whatever had wronged him and made him feel out of control out on her. She set her drink down and got of the counter her shoulders squaring and she glared at him. "My mother doesn't stay the night on these lands Carter. It is a safety precaution she takes so no one looks to closely at where I reside. And it is not that she does not want this secrete as you call it to get out because the people that are after me already know. She just doesn't want you blabbing it about or gawking at me for it." she walked towards him and got close to him. "So Carter before you go making assumptions when you are still recovering from whatever has messed you up, why don't you take a second and find out the real facts before you go ratting me off to whomever you want to show off to that moment like you did with Alex and Phillip or bragging about how strong you perceive yourself as, valid or not." she said feeling angry. "We leave at 11 be sure to be ready." she said and then turned away from him her hair nearly missing him as she walked out of the kitchen. Abigail was shaking with the nerve he had and the restraint she was using to not show him up and really surprise him. He didn't have to like her, he didn't have to treat her superior but the least he could do was not be a noob. Abigail walked out into the lawn and stood there in the steam of the morning were the morning dew was evaporating off of the grass. She laughed at her thoughts. "Noob!" she shouted and then walked off towards the trees wanting to be under their shelter. Abigail forced herself to talk calm even breaths and light natural steps.

@ Jinx...
Harper rolled her eyes at the fact he'd left that nasty shit for her to eat. He was so high up on a pedestal that he hadn't came down to where real people lived. He'd only ever lavished her with expensive things that included food. She was more of a burger girl and it was insulting that he claimed her wanted what was best for her. But getting to know her likes was what was more important. Granted she wasn't incline to tell him anything. But she figured he'd try harder, or get bored after awhile.

---

Carter rolled his eyes at her trying to assert her dominance, his previously situation didn't have anything to do with this. The way everyone kept talking about it was a life or death situation and he didn't want to die because a brat thought she was entitled. Hoping things worked out for the better he ignored the nagging feeling in his head, before grabbing another peace of sausage, and eating it as he made his way back to his room.

@ Bongs Before Bibles
Logan knew he needed to spend more time with Harper to figure her out. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. He would see if he could invite her to have dinner with him perhaps, or just do dessert and try that. Logan really just wanted to get her out of that room and moving around. No one would accept her if they never saw her. Logan sighed and ran a hand through his hair and thought about Harper for the rest of the day.

---

Eleven o'clock came around and Abigail stood at the door to leave holding onto Leah to put on the gassy pink wedges. "I don''t see the point in these Leah I can hardly walk in them what makes you think it would make it easy to run in them?" she asked and Leah laughed. "You shouldn't need to run." she said and Abigail rolled her eyes. "But there is always the possibility that I might then I will twist and ankle and be vulnerable." she said and Leah sighed. "You're wearing them for you're aunt and they look hot on you." she said and Abigail sighed. "Fine let's just get this over with." she said and glanced around for Carter before heading out to the same dark car that had brought Carter here. Leah waved her goodbye before leaving. The door stayed open waiting for Carter to slip into the car.

@ Jinx...
Harper went over Logan's words a thousand times, before picking up her try, opening the door she dropped it down beside the door. Walking down the hallway a way she'd seen Logan go time and time again. Looking around she wondered where people were, not only that where she thought she was going. She knew escaping wasn't and option, but if this was going to be her home, then she should be allowed to wander the house instead of being trapped inside.

---

Carter finished getting dressed for his outing with the Ma'am of the house. She'd made it perfectly clear she wasn't willing to be his friend, that he was hired help. Moving down the stairs he gave a curt nodded to the woman waiting there for him. He stepped into the waiting car, closing the door behind him. Letting his eyes turn to the outside he watched the scenery pass by.

@ Bongs Before Bibles
A maid was coming down the hallway to come and clean her room. "Oh Ms. Stevens... Good Afternoon." she said nervously. "Is there something you needed?" she asked looking around as if she wasn't sure to run, report her escape or bow and beg for her mercy. "Mr. Hart is in his office again if you would like me to show you were that is." she said trying to find a way to make all three of those happen.

---

Abigail rolled her eyes as Carter got in the car. She could just tell he was treating her like her mother. She crossed her legs and then rolled down the window and sighed. She leaned her head against the door closing her eyes. Abigail thought it was childish for him to take out his opinions and assumptions on her as if she was the one responsible for his unhappiness. She couldn't stand the silence though, or rather the annoying body language that was passively aggressive. "Alight Carter if you have got something to say spit it out because this is bullshit!" she said and looked at him. "I know you're perfectly content on brooding but I am not okay with feeling your cold front. So spit it out what did I do now to piss you off other than stomp on your toes when you pushed me down childishly?" she asked crossing her arms.

@ Jinx...
Harper furrowed her eyes at the woman before her. "No!" She half yelled at her, "I mean I don't want to bug him while his working." She informed the maid. "I was just stretching my legs." She smiled softly, hoping the woman would allow her to continue and not bother ruin her time alone by getting Logan. She really didn't want to deal with that man.

---

Carter furrowed his brows before turning to look at her, "is that what you think I'm doing?" He questioned her, "pouting?" He scoffed. "Yes everything has to be about you." He rolled his eyes before turning back to looking out the window. He knew he was a bit agitated with her, but he wasn't pouting. It was far from it actually, he was focusing on his job protecting her.

@ Bongs Before Bibles
The maid flinched as Harper yelled. "Okay ma'am but I really think we should let your detail know so that if anything happens they will know you are safe." she said and held the cleaning supplies to her chest shrinking back. Suddenly a big goon walked down he hall. "Ms. Stevens. So nice to see you out of your room." he said and the maid visibly relaxed. "Thanks Hansel continue with you're duties." he said and she nodded "Yes sir. I was just going to clean Ms. Stevens' room." she said and curtsied before moving off. The man smiled. And then stepped to the side of the wall. "Continue on you're way Ms. Stevens." he said as if he wasn't going to bother her but it was obvious he would keep some tabs on her.

---

Abigail looked at him feeling her chest tighten with anger and she looked away after a while and back out of the car. "Fine be cold." she said and then closed her eyes again looking weary. "It was better without you here." she whispered to herself though she knew. Abigail took the long drive in silence for a while before pulling out her headphones and putting them on her music turned up loud. She ended up taking a small nap before they finally got into town and when the road changed she finally opened her eyes and sat up more. Abigail took off her headphones and set them were they belonged int the car before she put down a mirror and checked her hair and make up straightening out a few stray curls. Abigail snapped it shut and rolled up the window. It wasn't long before they came to a gated driveway and the driver punched in a code. The gate opened and they drove in down the huge driveway before coming up on a huge mansion that was very old school. Abigail got out as the car came to a stop not even waiting for the doors to be opened for her. She looked around then walked towards the doors as they opened. A butler stood there. "Ms. Abigail. It is a pleasure to see you again." he said and she smiled at him. "Frank how are the grand babies?" she asked and he smiled broadly. "Very well Ms." he said and Abigail nodded. "Good to hear. Still got that head full of unbelievable angel hair?" she asked and he nodded visibly relaxing. Abigail laughed softly and he looked at Carter. "He's with me." she said and he gave a polite nod to him. "Mrs. Jenkins is waiting for you in the sitting room per usual." he said and Abigail nodded. "Thank you Frank give my best to the family." she said and he nodded. Abigail walked through the extensive house knowing were she was going pausing to let Carter catch up when needed though not even glancing at him. She was angry with him. Abigail walked into the living room and smiled tightly at the old woman sitting in an expensive and unnecessarily formal tea dress with her hair all down up and you knew if they went outside she would pin a hat into her hair. "Aunt Katherine." she greeted and the old woman stood. "Abigail come sit." she said and Abigail did. "Aunt Katherine this is Carter Stevens." she introduced him and Katherine took one look at him and turned up her nose. "Dear the help can wait outside the room unless he would like to serve the tea." she said and Abigail shook her head. "Carter is under orders to protect me Auntie and if he feels it best to do so closer then I am afraid that most be." she said and Kathrine frowned looking him over. "Okay but do stay out of the way." she said and Abigail frowned a moment before her tight smiles reappeared as Katherine looked back at her. "Tell me how is you're mother?" she asked continuing as if nothing had just occurred.

@ Jinx...
"Fucking great." She snapped, before turning and moving back to her room. She enter before grabbing the maids things and throwing them out of the room, then pushing her out as well. Slamming the door behind her. She knew that treating the staff poorly wouldn't get her far here. But she didn't want to have a babysitter, and the security detail bothered her piece of mind.

---

Cart stood near Abby, ignoring the snide remarks from her and her aunt. He knew that Abby was mad at him so he didn't hold anything against her. He didn't blame her either. Turning out their conversation he listened to all the things that went along outside of these four walls. He could hear the cook in the kitchen, the maids two floors up. The tires on the driveway. "Expecting company?" He questioned quickly cutting their conversation off. His eyes darting towards the sitting room window.

@ Bongs Before Bibles
The security guard helped Hansel clean up the mess Harper had made and had her go to clean other areas of the house instead. The goon stood outside her door for a while until he was replaced with another guard who stayed further down the hall almost all the way out of it. When Logan was made aware of the situation he frowned. He only meant to keep Harper safe but it seemed he was causing more trouble by keeping her safe that way. He decided it was probably best to have her guard be for outside of the house and they would just have the doors and windows watched more closely. Logan walked down towards her hall and called to the guard. "You are relieved and tell the other guards on your shift to talk to Kyle for their new assignments." he said and bit his lip looking down the hall. He walked down and knocked softly. "Harper I was wondering if you would be wanting anything special for dinner or if you weren't hungry tonight." he called hoping that this effort would help.

---

Kathrine turned red in the face at being interrupted. Abigail turned and looked to Carter. "My Aunt doesn't have visitors when I am here but it could be the maid returning from a shopping trip or some other staff." she said softly. Abby know her aunt wouldn't know who had left and for what reason the house was meant to be kept pristine without her need to take care of it or order the staff about. Abigail watched him wondering what he would want to do. "If someone is coming to hurt me Cart I am not sure they would use the front do or even a car up this gravel driveway, it's to loud don't you think?" she asked understanding his concern but thinking it through rationally. Not to mention they wouldn't have known the code to the gate and that thing could stop an armored car. Still Abigail would see what he wanted to do.

@ Jinx...
Harper paced the floor her anger getting more and more out of control. She didn't like this feeling, the overwhelming emotion she couldn't control. Not knowing why she felt this way or what had caused it. She knew before hand she was a prisoner and couldn't escape, so why was she throwing a fit. Stopping and leaning over she started panting, trying to catch her breath. It was then that she realized she was having an anxiety attack. Dropping to the floor she laid there her mind racing. Panting she curled up into a ball, and laid there wondering how long it was going to last her. Feeling light headed she felt her body slowly losing consciousness.

Harper's eyes fluttered open, looking around she didn't know what time it was or why she was sleeping in the floor. All she knew was she could hear Logan's voice on the other side of the door. Frowning she stood stumbling her way to the door, pulling it open she leaned on it for suppose. "Hmm?" She questioned him, having not heard anything he'd said let alone was too tired to really stand.

---

Carter frowned, before turning to look at Abigail, he shook his head at her. Knowing that whoever had entered the gate wasn't a maid, "their vehicle stopped just before the bend." He informed them both. Why would someone stop there and not continue the drive down to servants entry or even the front door. Who ever it was didn't want anyone to know they were here. Moving to the window he looked out seeing if he could see any movement. His knowledge of the person was still in their vehicle. "Is there a place in the house that can see down that lane?" He questioned the lady of the house. He wondered if she really cared for her nieces safety as much as she did for money.

@ Bongs Before Bibles
Logan frowned as she opened the door. He was instantly worried about her. "I just asked what you would like for dinner or if you were even hungry but now I'm more worried about if you can stand. Please sit down." he said and bit his bottom lip. "Did something happen?" he asked. Logan was truly worried about her. He felt like he was loosing her and he needed to talk to Abigail about Carter sending his sister a letter. Perhaps that would help her.

---

Abigail frowned and stood as her aunt called in one of the maids. "Take them to the west facing guest room with the peonies." she said and the maid nodded. They all walked up to the second floor leaving her aunt behind in the living room. Abigail filed into the room with Carter and stood behind him as he looked out the window and down the road. In a split second it felt like everything froze. Suddenly she heard a vase break behind her and she turned to see a boy who looked no older than 16 holding a knife. The boy with the white hair and the shrinking blue eyes disappeared and reappeared behind her. She felt his hand clasp over her mouth and her eyes widened. Abigail stomped on his foot then jammed her elbow into his side causing him to stumble backwards knife moving away from her and nicking her shoulder. The door opened and a big man with dark features entered the room a small redhead behind him. "Don't stand there Oma get her!" the red head yelled to the tall dark and handsome man. He shouldered into the room towards her and Abigail inhaled sharply her stance moving into one to fight. The red head leaned down touching the ground and fire moved around the floor until it was affectively separating Abigail from Carter. Abigail could feel the heat lapping behind her. She could here the boy shuffling to his feet and moving towards Carter. Abigail suddenly felt the moment unfreeze as her thoughts focused on analyzing the threat coming towards her.
