Destiny's POV(Heads up! It'll always be in D's POV unless I say otherwise!)

16 years later...

"Happy Birthday Desi!" My mother Mary yelled. I sighed and sat up on my small bed. I hated birthdays, really I did. I didn't see the point! It's just another year closer to death.

"Thanks Mom." I said putting on a pained smile.

"I still don't understand why you don't want a party. Isn't it like every 16 year old's dream? I know it was mine." She pouted. My mother Mary. She was rather short tiny skiny little person with light complexion, curly out of control red hair, and super bubbly and happy personality.

Me well I was tall, tanned, with curly golden hair and bright green eyes and a little... boring, possibly crazy?

It was pretty hard to believe we were related. Wait, were we related?

"Hey umm... Mom... am I... adopted?" I asked staring down at my perfectly manicured toenails.

"Umm...eh..." She stuttered.

"Mom tell me the truth."

She sighed, "Yes. I was 18 on my own for the first time. It was late at night around midnight and I heard the doorbell ring and you were... just there in a small box with..."

"With what?"

Mom got off my bed and ran to her room. She was back in a second with her silver jewelry box pulling out a solid gold locket.

"All you had was this. It has your name on the front and something in French on the back..." She sighed again, "And it has a picture of your mother and father on the inside."

"Wha... Why did you keep this from me?" I said tears sliding down my cheeks.

"I wanted you to be normal. Just a normal kid and hopefully not like that Harry Potter boy. So I just hid the locket and gave you the impression you were my biological daughter." She cried.

"It's okay mom. Really it is. My mother didn't want me but you do so it's alright really." I said rubbing her back. My mother was like my best friend, such an easy person to live with yet so... fragile.

"Don't say that sweetie. What if your mother did want you? She just... couldn't take care of you?"

I sighed, "It's not likely Mom. She didn't want me but it's okay I don't care."
