He was the fire and she was the ice. A pair fated to be as written by the stars. The gift that Carlie had thought to be a curse turned into a blessing the moment she realized Mateo was just like her. A gifted. Emotions had been an enemy, a weakness that turned her gift into a curse. But with him, the emotions that had been yearning within their souls finally had a chance to be let out. But it was only for a moment until she learnt about pain when he faded away from her after tapping into the fire within. He wasn't strong enough, she believed. And as her emotions threatened to take her away too, she trapped herself within the darkness. Not ready to face the truth that he might really be gone. She never got her answers on what happened to him. No one did. Not until the time when she decided she had had enough of the darkness that engulfed her.
