=============▪~ ❀ ~▪=============

Needless it is to say, Ruby didn't sleep all that well that night and no, not because of the pair of wings that were hitting her back, nor because of the mild snoring the owner of said wings was making. It was because it came to a point where it was all just too much.

She spent half of her life trying to figure out her past, and just like that her friends discovered everything, it just seemed unfair. It just seemed like the universe was silently calling her useless.

But even beyond that, after all the years she spent wishing for an answer.. now that she had it, she wished she didn't. If the clue they currently had was right, that meant that all of that time she had already known her mother, but definitely not in the way she wished she did.

As a kid as soon as she knew that she was, in fact, adopted; Ruby would quietly imagine her real family: imaging faces, personalities, an entire life she could never have; while she was trapped in an island where only one person truly cared about her. The one person who somehow managed to fill the hole of doubts in her heart.

And sure, her life did become much better, she started fighting for what she believed in, she met three people who turned her life around and se was finally living the adventure she always dreamed of.

But she wasn't happy.

Deep inside, lied the kid who searched for answers, who would pretend to have her family with her, who would imagine a kind female face by her side.

Had she disappointed that child?

Had all her hopes and dreams melted into a huge living nightmare? 

Had that kind face she imagined thousands of times always been connected to one of the most selfish, sinful and wicked person she has ever met?

All of these questions were now replacing the single one that used to play in her head all the time. Everything she had ever done was to make her mother proud. But now, seeing who it was, did it mean that Ruby simply wasn't.. wanted? 

Was all of that for nothing?

After all, was she still trapped and alone?

She got up, she couldn't just stand there she had to do something. Anything to keep her distracted. She walked up to the table where she had put her belongings on.

Her hat and her sword... her passion and her power.

And under those she found a piece of paper, the one where she was meant to write the letter to her mother, aswell as the pen which she might have stolen from Gene. And on that moment all she could think of was picking the two things up and writting.

She really didn't know to who she was writting it to, she just wrote whatever came to her mind, her fears, her dreams, her doubts.. she wrote her mind. She treated the paper as if it was a living object, listening and reacting to her every word. She wrote until she realized her thoughts were going to fast for her hands so she decided to stop. She felt as she had poured half of her mind into that text, and as impossible as it seemed she did feel better.

She checked the time, 2 hours until the sunrise. 

In just 2 hours they would go back to the Fairy Kingdom to confront Babacara, and just in time for the festival.

In just 2 hours Ruby could have the answer she had been longing for for so many years.

In just 2 hours, her entire life would be tumbling down.

There it is folks! Another relatively short one but also one of the most importants! 

Also, sorry for not updating lately but I've been having my final exams and I finished this school year only 3 days ago, in fact I had my "prom" last night!

I will try to post more now, especially since we are now getting on the juicy part ;) 

Besides that, I'm working on another Super 4 project, not a written one, but something no one has done so far. On another topic, there is also a possible Hamilton project coming soon, so my dear Ham fam, stay alert!

Another thing I'm aiming for this story to be around 18/19 chapters long but since there are some ideas that might or might not be added I can't promise anything just yet.

Either way, hope you are enjoying this story!

~ Until next time, happy reading!
