We land in front of a small cottage. The roof is a unnaturally bright shade of green which is strongly contrasted by the dull brownish orange.

"My real mother lives here?" I say with doute.

Destin does not answer he just laughs and knocks on the door. I hear a loud crashing sound coming from behind the door. My eyes widen as I start to back away from the door a little afraid of what is going to answer. Befor I can get away Destin catches me around the waist and holds me still.

Finally the door opens and a woman who looks to be mid thirties stands in the threshold. She's beautiful and looks just like me except for her black eyes and the fact that she has no freckles. My stick straight hair falls just longer than hers but her hair still falls to the middle of her back. We stand at the same height but she is far more spindly then me.

Once her gaze locks on my face her eyes start to tear up and she says "Rana?" her voice no louder than a whisper.

Suddenly she runs forward and pulls me into a tight hug.

"Oh my Rana," She says her voice catching on sobs "you came back. I thought I would never meet you," she holds me at arm's length and brushes my hair out of my face "You have groun into such a beautiful young women the last time I sow you were just a baby. It's been so many long lonely years. How old are you know?"

"I- I'm 16 years old," I say stumbling over my words. " But my name is not Rana it's Lila."

A cold shadow falls over Taica's face as she asks in a tight tone "Who told you that?"

"My father he named me that." I say no longer certain of the truth of the statement.

"Your Father is the evil man who stole you from me!" She yell quickly losing her temper.

"I'm sorry but I don't understand any of this." I say feeling tears collect in my eyes as I realised how little of my life I actually understand at all.

"Oh sweetie don't cry I don't mean to scare you come inside I will make some snacks then tell you what happened." Taica says the warmth and love returning to her voice.

I look at Destin and to silently ask if it's safe but he's not there. Hesitantly I step into the house and I am met by the sweet smell of vanilla. The interior of the house is just as mismatched as the outside. There is a living room with a purple couch yellow walls brown blue and red chairs with a gray coffee table on a black rugg. Even in the strange swirl of colors I somehow feel at home and safe here even though I have never been here befor.

Tacia comes walking into the room from a door that leads to what I assume is the kitchen. She is carrying a tray filled with odd flowers, tentacles, bugs, and roots somehow I know this is the snack she was talking about earlier and that I like it.

"Know you just relax and I am going to show you what happened." Taica says with a smile.

"You mean tell me what happened right?" I ask around a mouth full of flowers.

She looks deep into my eyes and says "No show you."

Suddenly the world goes black.
