H3y guys! So I know I haven't been writing but I'm back, I swear! Thank you to everyone who added this story to their favorites, it gave me the confidence to come back. I'm completely rewriting this story the way it was supposed to go originally so I hope you like the new chapters. This chapter is exactly the same as the first submission so feel free to skip over it if you've already read it. Please continue to review this story, it keeps me motivated or PM me with any ideas, editing or whatever you wish to tell me. I hope you enjoy this addition of Broken Ties, sadly though I have decided to not make it a Meta KnightxOC, though I can't guarantee I'll be able to stick to it hahaha. Love you all so much, thanks a bunch.

Chapter I: The Bond between Mother and Son
I was sitting in my cell, watching a piece of dust float around my head. It was slowly sinking, slowly falling, fading. Just like my life. I had been thinking about my life, how it had all been downhill… ever since I could remember. But the really sad part… watching this piece of dust has been the most exciting thing this week. I looked around at the others and saw that one of the little ones was crying again. I walked over to the clear, three inch wall that separated us and tapped on it to get his attention. He looked up at me, his crystal blue eyes even more stunning in contrast to the bloodshot area around it. I gave a warm smile and began to glow. My glowing silhouette began to twist and bend until I stopped glowing and reappeared as him. His eyes widened and so did mine. He cocked his head and I did to. He laughed and I mimicked him perfectly. His eyes cleared up and I changed back to my normal form. He mouthed the words 'thank you' and hugged the glass. I hugged back and he laughed again.
"Please, can you come over here?" he asked. Well mouthed. I have spent most of my time learning how to read lips. I considered my energy level before answering him. It seemed almost full. I nodded and began to glow again. This is very complicating to explain but I transformed and went through the wall. I reappeared and he ran up and hugged me. I hugged him back and smiled. He gave me a certain look and I sighed.
"Ok. I will," I said. He gave me a big, toothy smile and sat on my lap. I stroked his blue, leopard ears and he wrapped his tail around my waist.
Hush little child I know your story
There's no need to cry
I know your pain I share your sorrow
And yes one day we shall die
But that day has yet to show its face
Maybe we won't see it in vain
I'll find that place that lies in our souls
A land where we won't feel any pain
If we find this place
This land in our hearts
I promise
We will never leave
He smiled and snuggled in close to me. It's hard to believe that this poor young boy is only four years old. When he was two, a strange creature took him and injected multiple supplements for energy and intelligence and strength. When he first saw me he smiled and ran up to me shouting mommy. But when I wouldn't answer him, he began to scream and cry. He kept saying 'mommy why don't you answer me? What's wrong? Why aren't you answering me?' He cried for days until I couldn't take it anymore. I went up to him and told him I wasn't his mother. But he kept talking to me and calling mommy. After awhile I got used to it and began to adore him. He adored me to. We were each other's only family. And I named him Lel.
"Mommy, you have a pretty voice. Do you think one day we really will find that place?" he asked.
"I don't know. But if we do, I promise we will never leave. Ever," I answered.
"Even if the bad people come to take us away again?"
"Never. I'll fight them off with my bare hands if I have to," I said. I began to stroke his ears again and he smiled. I kissed his titanium hair and he started to hum. His hair began to sparkle. I gasped. He gave me a worried look. I nodded and slipped back into my cell. Lel has many different powers, one of them being that his hair sparkles when an enemy is approaching. One of the workers came in and walked down our isle. Lel and I exchanged worried glances as he got closer. We knew just what was going on in each other's minds. Pleases don't let him take me.
