The talk with Liz was both emotional and eye opening. Lye found out that her mother tried to contact Liz few days before the fire.

"Your mother sent me a letter," Liz said, pulling a drawer and taking out a piece of light minty green paper. The sight of it brought tears to her eyes. She knew that paper anywhere. Her mom used to drive 10 miles north where they lived to buy that kind of paper. it smelled like fresh mint and lilac. Her mom loved those two colors, and she loved the smell of minute.

Lye remembered after her mothered died, she washed her teeth just to smell the mint knowing her mom loved that smell.

"She sent it to me few days before the accident," Liz said, her own eyes filled with tears, "by the time I got it, it was too late."

She looked down at the paper Liz handed her. She didn't know what was in it, whatever her mother wrote to Liz must have been serious. After debating whether to open it or not, her curiosity won the battle.

Lye unfolded the paper gently. A whiff of her mother's smell and mint mixed together filled her nose, and she felt like curling in a tight ball and crying, but she needed to read the letter.

She looked down at her mother's neatly hand writing, the letter read:

Dear Lizzy

Apr 18th, 2001

It has been a while since I last saw or talked to you. I miss you terribly, and I wish I could just drive to you and tell you about all the things that happened recently.
Martin decided to show up, I haven't seen him in years.. Not since, you know what. However, that is not why I'm trying to reach you, I have a bad feeling Lizzy, I feel like my time is running out, and I need to be sure that my baby will be safe.

I don't want you feel obliged to do anything; I'm only reaching out because I do not have anyone in this world that I trust more than you. If anything happened to me, I'm asking you to find a good home for Light, I want her to have everything in this world, and I want her to be happy.

I made my lawyer help me make my will, I asked him to add you as Light's guardian if I'm not there, and I also asked him to transfer all my money to you in case anything happened.
now you're probably reading thinking "did Adele feel and hit her head against the stupid counter." No I haven't, though I was always the nuts between the two of us.

Stay safe, you are the best thing ever happened to me beside Light, and you were to me more than family or a friend, you were my soul sister.

Love you
A.

Lye re-read the letter more than ten times. She didn't understand, how could her mother knew what was going to happen days before the house fire? Did her mother have enemies? And who is Martin? She needed to know, she wanted to understand how her mother could possibly know- or better yet, predicted, her own death, she was just a kindergarten teacher. Was it possible that her mother killed herself?

"Don't let your head get the better of you," Liz's voice pulled her out of her mind-blowing theory. "your mother did not take her own life, she loved you too much, and she loved to live every minute watching you grow," Liz sighed and sat back in her chair. "I do not know what happened exactly. What I know is what happened before you were born and the events leading to Adele getting pregnant with you."

Lye didn't talk, she just breathed and listened. There was so much about her mother she didn't know. After all she was only ten years old, and all she knew about her was her favorite colors and favorite movies, and her love for life and nature, that was it.

"let me start few years before you were born. Ever since me and Adele were in high school, your mother was interested in supernatural, studying and researching and doing some projects, and trying to find proves that there is something beyond humanity." She stopped, smiling as if she remembered something, "every Halloween she would come up dressed as a scary being she researched or done a paper about, she was well known for it.

After we graduated high school, she got a scholarship to the best universities. She studied psychology and specialized in children behavior. She was great at it, she loved children, and loved taking care of them. As a second major she took some parapsychology, and she loved every minute of it."

She took in all the information she just learned about her mother, and smiled. Her mom was a wonderful person; she just wished she knew more about her.

"in her second year in University, she meet Martin Marks, he was a sub for her parapsychology class, and she was done for, she loved him so much, he was everything she ever wanted, and she was his dream coming true." Liz posed and pulled out a picture of her mother, and a handsome man, he was a older than her mom, but the way they looked together was perfect.

"he's the guy she talked about in her letter." Lye said remembering reading his name in the letter, "is he my father?" she asked looking up at Liz and then back at the picture.

"Yes,"

"God!" Lye couldn't help but shed few tears, but she needed to be strong, she needed to know. "Why didn't I know about him?"

Before Liz reply, she pulled out another picture. The picture had the same guy, her mom and a baby. Her!

"Your mother and him split when you were two" Liz explained, standing up. She rounded the table and then took a seat next to Lye. "You see, your mom got a bit obsessed with the supernatural thing. She meet this guy, his name I don't recall, but he convinced her that he knew couple of supernatural creatures, such as; vampires, witches and werewolves. When your mother left you with your father and went with that guy to find out more about his claim, your father didn't like it, and he told her she either come back or he will take you and leave"

"Of course, your mother came back, she wasn't happy though. Your father basically blackmailed her. And she never liked to be pushed around. After that, their relationship turned bad, until your mother and father couldn't take it anymore, and your father walked out on the two of you." Liz sighed. She grabbed Lye's hand and gave her a reassuring and a gentle squeeze. "Both your parents loved you."

"Then why did my father didn't come and get me after mom died?" she asked looking up at Liz brokenly. Her eyes welled up with unshed tears and her bottom lips trembling. At that moment, Liz saw her as a baby girl who had all her dreams broken by the life she lived. Liz couldn't help it; she pulled Lye for a tight hug. Being a mother herself she couldn't stand her baby girl crying, and Lye was just as Caroline.

Liz let Lye cry on her shoulder, god only knew what that girl been through. Liz tried to ask her where she was for the past 12 years, but Lye merely said that she was glad that she found her and avoided the subject.

But Liz knew, this young woman been through a lot, and she'll be damned if she didn't take care of her, after all she made a promise to her best friend that she was going to take care of her goddaughter.

Few minutes passed when Lye pulled away wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. "you need to rest, baby girl. We'll talk to in the morning" Lye wanted to protest but a yawn escaped and she laughed softly

"ok I give up" she stood up and hugged Liz again. "I will see you tomorrow" she said as she pulled away "but before I go, can you tell me where is my father?"

"your dad passed away" said Liz sadly, she didn't want to make the girl's life harder, but hiding it will only make her hurt more "he got hit by a car, but he did tried to find you" she said, remembering how he looked everywhere "but whoever took you, didn't want anyone to find you" Liz didn't miss the look of sadness and fear that passed across Lye's face

"Thank you, for telling me" she smiled sadly. Her dad looked for her, Aunt Liz tried to find her, at least now she knows that she wasn't forgotten all of those years.

"ok I better leave and find a hotel, it's pretty late" she looked down at her wrist watch and grimaced, it read 1:00 am

"you're not going anywhere, you're staying here with us, we have empty rooms, and my daughter loves you, she already made plans for the two of you go shopping tomorrow" Liz laughed

"are you sure?" Lye didn't want to bother anyone, but it would be nice to stay in a home where her mother visited a long time ago.

"more than sure. This is your house now, whether you like it or not" Liz's tone lacked the firmness, but it was warm and motherly, and Lye loved it.

"well then, I better go to sleep, thank you so much Aunt Liz, I've waited and wished for a long time to be here, and I hope I get to stay."

"of course you will, this is your home, your mom grew up here, and so will you. There is no more running" once Liz said that she couldn't help but notice the shocked then relived expression on Lye's face. "Go sleep now, tomorrow you have a long day sweetheart" she gave her a kiss on the forehead and sent her to bed.

Lye's only thought before she passed out from exhaustion was; dreams do come true, they take time, but they do come true.
