                                                                                  (Eleven years later)

Amara's Sixteenth birthday is coming up  an I can't believe that she so grown now. it feels like it was just yesterday when she was a baby that was found on my door step. Today was the day i was gonna tell her about her parents even though she is mine i still thought she deserved to know. I had pictures of her parents and her original birth certificate. That i had gotten from CPS when I adopted her, I wanted her to be able to know she had parent that loved her even went as far as to sacrifice themselves for her. It made my heart heavy thinking about it but i knew it was the best choice she needed to know atleast from me it was very unlikely that she would ever find out but if she ever did I don;t want our relationship being damaged because i couldn't tell her.  So i got everything ready to have a great day with her. Taking her out to one of her favorite restaurants and then took her out shopping around town for awhile then we sat out in the park watching the sun set before going home.  once we arrived home i gave her the gifts i had bought her and brought out the folder which i kept with me till she was done opening presents. "Amara honey come sit with me for a second i have something i want to tell you. Remember no matter what i will always love you OK."  She nodded her head "Mom whats going on?" she looked at nervously i told her everything starting from the gang violence to finding her on my doorstep to the two year long battle for custody to moving here because of the gang thinking  she would be a threat to them someday in the future even about how her parents had died. An since she didn't remember my family to all of them including my mom and dad and her aunty.  I opened the folder and happneed her the photos of her mother and father along with the birth certificate.  "So i'm not really your daughter." She asked with tears running down her face the look it self was enough to break my heart." You may not be by blood Amara but i love you all the same as if you were. I fought for two years for you honey that"s love i loved you the moment i picked you up on my front porch. That was the moment for me that i decided if you needed me i would be everything you needed i would be your mother you're protector and i couldn't love you anymore even if you were biologically mine."  I pulled her into a hug and held her tight as i  rubbed her back trying to soothe her make her stop crying I made her look at while i wiped her tears away. " I love you you will always be my baby girl never forget that sweet heart, You are my heart and soul and i will always be there for you." She  looked at me and smiled "I love you too momma thank you for being my mom and keeping me safe all these years." I Smiled at her and asked her if she wanted to watch a movie for awhile and i would try to answer any questions she may of had.  We went to bed around 11 oclock at night after all the tears and laughing about the funny stuff she had done as a baby.  About an hour later i Heard A scream come from Amara's room I bolted out of bed dashing towards her room before hearing a pained filled scream right as i burst into her room she had fallen off the bed and was on all fours on her floor. Oh My Good her arm was bent at a weird angle and so was her leg. I ran into the hallway bathroom trying to find my first aid kit. running back to her room just inside to see her other arm break on its own. At this point i just grabbed the bite rag out of it and pushed it into her mouth while whispering its gonna be ok as i carefully lifted her up off the floor " Momma it hurts so bad what the fuck is happening.  Am i dying am i gonna die momma I don't wanna die." As soon as she finished talking i felt another bone break and an earsplitting scream came out of her mouth. "It's gonna be ok baby we are gonna get you to the hospital baby its gonna be ok I promise." We weren't even that far from the house before she screamed at me to pull over. Screeching to a stop i turned to look at her but she was already opening the car door " Amamra what the Hell do you think your'e doing! Get the Fuck back in this car this instant!"  She took off into the  forest running like her life depended on it. I quickly grabbed the flash light out of my glove box and took off after her I had been running for thirty minutes not being able to find her was starting to become hysterical with worry screaming her name as tears ran down my face way was this happening what was wrong with my baby. Then i heard it her scream not that far from me taking off in the direction of the scream to find her bent over on the forest floor with fur coming out of her arms and her face was beginning to distort. A scream of shock ripped from me she turned to look at me i dropped to my knees and crawled towards her. Slowly rubbing my hands on her face telling her it was gonna be ok she was gonna be ok Thirty more minutes went by but it feel like hours she let one finally scream and her body changed.
