The monster queen of hearts

A mothers love

"Mama has been very sick lately. It seems pointless to hope but it's practically all we have left. Theres nothing left to help her, despite what everyone says." 8 year old Lucy wrote down in her diary before heading out of her room. It was almost 4 o'clock, when she went to visit her mom for her daily hour long visit.

She cautiously entered the room to see her mother lying down on her bed, looking incredibly sick. "Hello Lucy, my little girl." Layla said, sitting up and cupping Lucy's face in her hands. "Hello mama. You're looking better." Lucy lied, as she heard its customary to address sickly people in a fashion. But what would she know, due to being only around the mansion workers or her parents most of her life, she had no social skills she supposed. That would have to change. "You can't lie to me, angel." Layla wearily picked her daughter up and put her on her lap. "Now Lucy, I have a secret for you." Layla started before Lucy nodded "my secret is something that only your father knows, but refuses to tell you. I'm not your real mother." At that point, Lucy's worldview had been shattered so badly by everything else that this barely made a scratch.

"But mama, if you're not, who is?" "An old friend of mine. You were in danger so she gave you to me to protect you. I'm glad she did. You are my angel, my beautiful girl." "Mama, if I meet this woman, how will I know it is her? What do I do?" "My little girl, you will know right away if it is here. As for what you will do, you will call her what you call me. I will have been long gone by then, which will mean my job has been done. She will be your mother from then on out." Layla said before setting Lucy back on the ground and laying down. "Now Lucy, it has been great to talk to you one last time.." Layla said before closing her eyes. "Mama? What do you mean by one last time? Mama? MAMA?!" Lucy practically screamed out alerting those nearby to come in the room before one of the maids rushed her back to her room. She sat on her bed and tightly hugged her stuffed doll. "Oh, Gonzales. What are we gonna do know..?"
