You knew your secret would come out sooner or later, yet you wanted to keep it private for as long as possible. Not because you were ashamed, no it was because you didn't want the looks of pitty or comments about how you were being favoured or treated any differently to the other students. Especially as you were an Ever, if the truth was to come out it would be devastating for you and your mother.

Mother. A funny word and not one you had ever thought you'd use and truly mean. All your life the women who had given birth to you had acted as anything but the women who was meant to keep you safe and show you unconditional love and support. All she ever showed you was hurt and pain. That had resulted in severe neglect and abuse, that no child should ever have to experience in their life. So the day you were taken from her care was like a miracle for you. Although you had no idea where you would go or what would happen to you, you couldn't help but be relieved at the fact that chapter of your book had ended.

Ending up at the school for Good and Evil was the best thing that had happened to you. Your adopted mother worked there and truthfully it felt like one big massive family. Something you'd never had, so when your secret came out you were distraught. The peaceful life you'd been blessed with was now being cruelly snatched away. Only because an Ever had over head Professor Dovey saying your name. Your full name. Y/n Lesso. That was it. The Ever student began digging into your past in very un ever like ways. Things that should've been locked away and kept to past memories were now being brought up.

Once they had all the information they decided to out you in the middle of a whole school assembly. The tears prickled your eyes as you saw the familiar pictures and documents you'd tried to forget. Then there was audio tapes all detailing the horrific abuse you had experienced. You felt sick to your stomach at seeing if all once more, the memories resurfacing causing you to panic. You immediately fled the assembly in a panic making your way to your mothers office, you knew she would follow. And true to that she did, about five steps behind you.

Only when the door was shut and you were safe did you allow yourself to break down, your adoptive mother instantly taking you in her arms to cradle you in a way she knew brought you comfort. She knew that pushing you to talk while you were reliving the past was pointless, it would only make you worse and that was the last thing she wanted, so instead she settled for cooing comforting words of reassurance as she rocked you gently. Truthfully the way you were being held and rocked would embarrass you if it was with anyone else but her.

"Little dove, you're safe now. Remember that momma has you now. You're safe with me and I won't ever hurt you like that, I promise you little one." She murmured seemingly on a loop. Eventually, she managed to break into your panicked brain. "Momma?" You whimpered out, her heart broke for how you seemed to be that scared little one she brought to the school all those years ago. "That's right my dove, momma has you. You're safe and I'll never let anyone hour you again" she promised and dropped a sweet kiss to your forehead, soaking in the fact you felt so safe that you nuzzled into her embrace. It had taken years and a considerable amount of effort to get you this comfortable with her. That scared little one she had had began to flourish into a beautiful youngling that Leonora was so proud to call her daughter. Because truly what is blood links? A child deserves to be loved and cared for, you may not be biologically hers but she loved you just the same.

"My darling, what's got you panicking? I can feel your heart pounding inside your chest incredibly fast." She murmured not wanting to spook you but truly wanting to help you. "Momma, she, you. I'm sorry I know no one is meant to know I'm your adopted daughter" you whimpered out afraid that she would be disappointed that she was now linked to you. "Little love of mine, I'm not sad or disappointed that the school now knows you are my incredibly bright, talented, gifted, loving, beautiful daughter. I couldn't be more proud of you or love you with anymore of my heart." She reassured you and shifted you in her lap to look at your face that was now smothered in tears. She made sure to wipe them away with the pads of her thumbs before kissing your forehead. Truly she couldn't love you anymore than she did, it didn't matter that you weren't blood relation. Blood doesn't decide love, the heart does.
