Ashton's 16th birthday was... well the easiest way to put it would be strange she once again spent it up in the attic with her spell books. The only difference to this day was she met someone new someone who she thought looked oddly familiar. She had only met this person once and that was the day she was born it was her mother Ellie. Ellie was in a brilliant gown as she always was it was purple with a black lace layered over it beading around her waist it was long enough to touch the ground but not drag it was so elegant that the queen of England could wear it. Ashton had on nothing but a simple maiden type dress it was a knee length black dress a brown belt around her waist and her hair pulled back in a high elegant bun, she had learned to do hair from some fashion magazine the tall strange man bought her for her 10th birthday. Her mother sat her down and told her all there was to know about her true origins. "18 years ago I met your father you will never know him for your grandfather killed him not long after you were born for you are part of him a mortal. I fell in love with a man who I shouldn't have but I was young and didn't believe in the witches law of mortal and witch should be kept separate, he was tall handsome man brown hair, brown eyes, funny, smart, and over all anything a young dumb 21 year old girl could ask for and for 2 beautiful years it was just me and him me hiding the fact I was with him from my father sneaking away late at night just to see him for even just an hour. Then I figured out I was pregnant with you I didn't mean for you to happen for if father found out he would find out I had slept with a mortal but I couldn't get rid of you either. I had a feeling about you and to this day I am unsure exactly what it is but once I had you I had to lock you away for witches council wanted to kill you for no mortal man shall sleep with anyone of magical ability and you were the offspring of someone who broke a law. I couldn't let them end you." Ellie said as she pushed her hair out of her face. "I couldn't let them take away someone I had created. And I know I have waited years for me to tell you this all and I've waited years for you to finally meet me your mom and I apologize I was just trying to keep you safe but I thought it was time you knew the truth." Ashton sat there for a moment taking it all in this lady was supposedly her mother her father was supposedly a mortal that her grandfather murdered that is quite a bit to take in all at once.
