Two Hours Later

Chiyo's P.O.V

"Ah, that man, he doesn't know the right time to come. Anyway, do you want to continue the rest of the story?" I turned around to see uncle Subaru's mom for the second time and smiled.

"Yes mam"

"So Nobuo's father had found a way to trick Lucy into marrying Nobuo, in order to make him happy again-"

"That's wrong isn't it?" She nodded.

"Very but the story is not over yet. Nobuo hated the man and had found himself very angry that Lucy had been back after breaking her promise but still he loved her. The two had a daughter who they cared for deeply but still, Lucy did not love him. So instead she tried to leave with their daughter, each time she ran, Nobuo found them and brought them home. Punishing Lucy due to her leaving."

"How did he find them?"

"He is a vampire, just like you and me." She poked my nose causing me to giggle. "We have special senses and when it came to Nobuo finding Lucy and his daughter, he went through extreme measures."

"Oh"

"Uh huh, eventually, Lucy realized that she couldn't leave Nobuo unless she left their daughter. She knew Nobuo's family cared for the little girl but didn't know if she, herself would last any longer. So...she left. Not only taking her sanity but a ton of guilt."

"Lucy left her only daughter?" She nodded.

"Even though it hurt her, she knew it had been the best thing she could do."

"Nobuo had hurt her that bad huh?" She nodded.

"Nobuo couldn't accept the fact that Lucy stopped loving him the way he did."  Nobuo was a vampire student and met Lucy at school. My father met my mother in school and was not a student. Just like Lucy. Papa did say that it was a challenge to get mama to like him but he found some way to get her to like him.

He did things similar to Nobuo. Did he hurt her? Did he scare her? Is that why she never returned? We remained silent for about two minutes before I spoke.

"Is Lucy....my mom and Nobuo...my father?" Her eyes widened.

"Well-" The door opened and Papa came in.

"Did you think about what you have done?" I nodded my head slightly. Trying to hide the fact that I now knew the secret about my mom.

"I have," I said.

"Good, now come on, I made you a snack. " I quickly got off of my bed, making sure that I hid the photo.

Six Hours Later

As I watched the stars, I couldn't help but wonder where my mother had been. It has been eight years and she could have been anywhere. I couldn't have been mad at her, only because I knew she left in fear of her life. Yet for some reason, I couldn't have found a reason to have been mad at papa either.

I reached under my pillow and grabbed the picture before I stared at it again. Papa was right, she was so beautiful and the fact that she was not here had hurt me so much. She ran away due to papa but he always told me how much he loved her. How beautiful she was. Why would he do that? Why would she leave me? I love her too, she knows that right?

My eyes began to water. I had been crying. I held the picture close to me as I cried my hardest, for the first time, hoping that my mother heard me. Hoping for her to come back. "Please...please mama, come back to me."
