Keeping Secrets

Y/n P.o.v

Y/n: "M-Mother." I said shocked. Not knowing if it was truly her. But the facts were right in front of me. She was actually standing there, looking at me.

She dropped the knife and started to slowly walk towards me.

Mother: "Y-Y/n?" She started to reach for me. I slowly walked towards her. Both of us shocked, no words were exchanged, just the calling of a mother towards a son, and a son towards a mother.

Once she touched my cheek, she flinched, but instantly touched it again. She put the other hand on my other cheek. Tears started to form, but suddenly started to fall off her eyes with a smile.

Mother: "Y/n!" She said with her voice breaking. I reached towards her arms, and looked at her from head to toes, then back at her eyes with wide eyes. "My Y/n. M-My little boy!" She wrapped her arms around my neck and started to cry.

I was still shocked, but I wrapped my arms around her waist nonetheless. Her body started to fall to the floor because her knees didn't held her anymore, yet I still came down with her while still hugging. She kept repeating the same words: "My boy. My little boy. My son."

This was real, I was holding my mother. We were like this for a few minutes, but it felt like forever. I didn't complained, neither I would.

She separated and looked at me with teary eyes. She caressed my cheek and went down my arms till she got to my hands.

Mother: "My little boy. I-I thought I lost you. I thought you were-"

Y/n: "I'm here." I said with calmed voice while taking hold of her hands, and interrupted her. "But what matters is that you're alive. But how?" She looked away. "I saw you being stabbed from behind. Your b-body fell, and no reaction came from you. H-How?" I said while my voice started to break.

A few seconds has passed until finally she answered.

Mother: "I wasn't killed." I was confused, but she continued to explain. "The sword missed my vital organs, but I was still losing a lot of blood. So they sent to the best doctor in the Capital. Luckily, he stopped the bleeding, and he saved me, but it came with a prize." She said the last part sadly.

Y/n: "What was it?" She hesitated, but told me.

Mother: "To become the personal maid to the Warchief."

Y/n: "Zeth." I said with venom. "Is there something else that I should know?" She started to caressed my cheeks a little agitated.

Mother: "It's nothing to worry about. I'm-"

Y/n: "Mother, I need to know." My eyes started to softened, but tears were forming in my eyes. "I want to know what happened to you? Last thing I had a clue that you weren't dead, was when you were at the brothel." Her eyes widened.

Mother: "You... knew about that?" I nodded. "How? I never wanted for you to know about that."

Y/n: "Aunt Aoimoku was there." She looked more surprised. "She told me that I looked like her best friend, Kassandra." I scoffed in amusement. "Guess she was right about it."

Mother: "How is she?" She had hope on her eyes, but I gave her a frown.

Y/n: "I'm sorry." I looked away. "She had too much drug in her system, and she..." I couldn't finished because it was painful to see a loved one pass away. I looked at her and she had sadness on her face, disappointment of hoping for something that she knew it wouldn't happen. "But speaking of drugs, the owner said that you both took the same amount, but you're still here."

She looked at me, but she still had sadness.

Mother: "I guess that my system wasn't the same as Aoimoku's. But it was also my will of finding my son. And here you are." She caressed my cheek again. "Alive. Surviving. And..." She looked at the knife she dropped, and the hilt on my bed. "...With the Jaegers?" She looked at me with a stern look. 'Crap, I'm dead.' I thought. "Don't tell me you joined the Jaegers." I scratched behind my head.
