Ciara's POV
"No, you said something is bothering you. Now tell me what is bothering you so that I might know how to help you," young Ciara said. The face of the girl was determined to get their problem solved. Charles was surprised by her determination, but he did nothing to stop her. He sighed when he realised there was no way he was getting out of this one.
He took his time to think through his next words, probably so that it would sound easier for her to understand. "I just found out… that I don't have so much time left with my brother and I need a way to protect him once I'm gone."
"Is that supposed to make sense? It doesn't…"
"Well, you know that you, Isaac, Jacob, Kevin and I are the only artras that have been discovered yet, right?" he asked.
"Yeah, I know that. What's your point?" she asked him.
