Quick recap: You got to London and started exploring a really cool alley that you stumbled across and bumped into an old man.

Y/N'S POV

I was just exploring this alley that I found when I leaned against a brick wall, and the wall opened, and I accidentally ran right into an old man. He had a somewhat familiar...what's the word? Aura. He had this familiar moonstone aura kind of thing... It was either that or I was high.

"Oh my gosh. I am so sorry. I didn't see you there....Do I know you?" I said.

"I don't know," he replied. "What is your name?"

"I don't know. I think it says it on my necklace, though," I responded sincerely.

"What do you mean you don't know?" he asked. "Did your parents never call you or tell you?" I zoned out sadly for a second at that question.

Once I came back to earth, I answered, "I don't have any parents... But I think my name is..." I paused and read my necklace.

"Y-Y/n Bertha Qui-Quirean." As I struggled over my last name, the man lost all color in his face.

He asked, "How old are you?"

I told him, "12, but I'm turning 13 in December."

"Can I look at your locket?" he asked.

"Why didn't you ask before?" I said as I unclipped my necklace.

"She's alive," I heard him whisper after handing him my locket.

"Y/n, would you like to stay with me and my wife for a few weeks? It's okay if you don't feel comfortable staying with an old man you met in an alley, but I am the headmaster of a school and would like for you to attend. What do you say?" I almost cried. That was the nicest thing anyone had ever said to me, but I hesitated.

After thinking about my choice, I finally responded, "I would love to... But how do I know that you're doing this for the right reason?"

"I don't know how to prove it to you," he started with a sigh before continuing, "but I hope you can trust me."

"I trust you," I finally said.

"Is that a yes, Y/n?" he questioned.

"Yes," I answered, hoping I wouldn't regret my decision later on.
