“Kitlyn, if you read that, it means you're an adult now. Uh, today you died for the first time. I had to complete the ritual your sister had started under a minute or so and I was convinced I had failed but you just woke up an hour after and now you're sleeping on my laps. You're so small it's stressful; what if I accidently hurt you? When you woke up you had forgotten everything. Me, Kaira, the village, everything. It's all gone. I don't think telling you now is a good thing: I heard people can forget traumatic events to protect themselves; but I can't hide the truth forever. So… here it is.
Your name is Kitlyn Bian, but you already know that. At the time I'm writing this, you barely celebrated your fifth birthday two weeks ago. You haved an older sister named Kaira” *the paper seemed tear stained there* “who was my girlfriend and died in the attack of your village. Today it was burnt down by hunters. You're the only survivor. The burning roof of your house fell on you. Kaira and I heard your screams and dug you out. She started performing a ritual to save your life but the hunters found us and killed her.” *More tears.* “I ran away, holding you tightly and by the time I found somewhere safe to finish it, you were almost dead. You became one with your familiar, and just like any cat, you now have 9 lives.
I failed to save your first one.
You're back now and you're sleeping on me. There's a tally on your wrist. I told you you were born with the mark. I'm sorry I lied, I had to. I had to protect you from the truth.
We're going to go join the rest of my clan. You'll be safe there with us. Théo is a witch too, he'll teach you what you need, and Suzy is a real sunshine, you'll get along perfectly. Plus Théo and I are both hosts. You'll be safer with gods with you. I won't let you get hurt again. As long as I live I won't.
