Why did Jace do that to me too? This all so strange . My first day back I beat up my sister, punch the school jock, cause my best friend to faint and almost fed from Jace . What else can happen today?
I don't stop running until I'm at my lousy hotel on the outskirts of town . It's then that I realize my key card is back in the gym locker room with my clothes . This means I have to see the sweaty front desk clerk . The poor guy just sits there sweating all day . It's gross .
Thinking I'd rather not be attacked by his stench I decide instead to just break into my room . As I approach my door on the second floor I notice the door is cracked open .

Someone is in my room .
It better be the maid because with the day I'm having if it's anyone else I'm snapping their neck . Damn I'm grouchy . Think it's time to feed .
I cautiously push the door open and step inside . Just in case there's vampire here I prepare myself and inhale deep . My body locks up when I remember the scent .
No it can't be?
I whip my head around the empty room . I know she's here somewhere the scent is fresh . Just then the bathroom door opens and she steps out staring at me with happy tearful eyes .
"Oh Ana I knew you would come back" she said before engulfing me in a hug . I was so shocked I didn't hug her back . How did she find me here? She pulled back and held my face between her hands watching me tenderly
"Oh my you're so beautiful" she stated proudly . I still couldn't believe she was here in my motel room . And she recognizes me?!
"Mo-mom?" I stutter out when I find my voice .
Tears fall from her eyes are she eagerly nods and hugs me again . This time I latch onto her hugging her back . I'm so happy to see her after all this time . She looks and smells the same way I remember . She looks like an older version of Kim .
We break the hug but continue holding hands
"Mom what are you doing here? How did you find me? How did you recognize me?!" I start firing questions at her .
This is just so random! Definitely the last thing I expected . With my crazy life I should have seen this coming .
She takes my hand and leads me to the end of the bed . We both sit staring at each other in awe . I open my mouth to ask her all the questions burning on the tip of my tongue . She puts her palm up to silence me . I can tell she's fighting something by the torn look in her eyes . Suddenly my worry changes; no longer and I'm wondering how she found me but why .
"Analise . . . " She starts but stops still giving me that sad torn up look . I can feel my anxiety intensify as I wait
"I don't know where to begin" she said
"Mom just spit it out" I say back barely containing my rising curiosity
"Well I guess I should start by telling you . . . " My mother paused staring at the raindrops pelting against the window . This is hard for her I can tell but waiting to hear something you know is important is hard as well . Still I try to be patient and give her the moment she needs . When my mother turns back to me I gasp . The sadness in her depths stuns me . I know without a doubt her next words will change everything .
"Ana you're not my daughter . . . "
