BEHIND 2 WALLS

Elia Richwood was one of those lucky kids who was born with a diamond spoon in her mouth. She was born into one of the richest family in the state, maybe even in the country, and yes obviously she was expected to be a spoiled brat. Because she could get anything she wanted, lives in a huge mansion, never has to do chores, or cook, and has designer clothes and the best products.. but despite all that, she was still taught etiquette and manners all thanks to her grandmother. Elia lives with her dad and her grandmother.

As she was told, her mother died after giving birth to her. Due to this fact, her father is very protective of her. He already lost someone who meant everything to him and he wouldn't want anything to happen to his precious Elia. He is really caring, loving, protective and a little overbearing sometimes but Elia loves him more than anything in this world too. They wouldn't trade this bond for anything else.

Although, there were times when he was really really overprotective, actually, all the time. He never lets her go to school alone, hardly lets her attend parties, gets worried over a little scratch and can be pretty embarrassing to her at times. He never even let her go out on a date, let alone have a boyfriend. But luckily for her, she managed to make some friends. Her Best friend ,ever, for as long as she can remember was Lita.

Elia sometimes just wanted her freedom and felt like she was always kept under house arrest. Well, not anymore because she's finally heading off to college, and luckily her dad agreed, if she went with a bodyguard or two of course.

She also did realize how much she was going to miss him and decided to take a year off to spend time with her family before moving out. Her best friend, Lita, also decided to take a break with her so they can start college together. This break was really fun and interesting for her and she finally got to work and earn money independently for the first time, for only a year though. She finally tried different things which her father never let her try. And when it was almost time for her to begin school she wanted to try one last thing; a sleepover. She's always heard of friends having sleepovers and all but her dad never allowed that. Yes, she was allowed to go over to her friends' house, with security of course, but they were never allowed into the house, let alone to sleep over. So she decided to invite at least just her bestie over, but this was in her father's absence. He went on a week long business trip.

Her grandmother protested about this but after Elia promised her no troubles she reluctantly agreed. But little did she know that a little sleep over could unexpectedly lead to a new found discovery.

…

Ella Richwood, popularly known as Ella Kiyoni, was Elia's mother. Ella was born into a family of nobles in the kingdom of Anodohra. Anodohra was a mystical kingdom in a whole other world. It also had societal ranks: Those without magic were peasants, those with lower ranked powers were above them but below the nobles—the median class, and those with higer ranked powers were the nobles. Then there was the royals; those with the highest form of magic.

Ella came from a family of chief nobles. She attended rich schools, lived in a big house, attended royal events with her family and so on. Everything was good until it wasn't.

Ella, the only daughter of the Kiyoni family, had just turned 15, but had no magic. A noble without magic? Unheard of. But she had the mercy of being given another chance. But when she turned 16, no magic.

People began to talk;

"One of the highest ranked nobles has a powerless daughter?"

"Is she even their daughter?"

"I heard she was illegitimate"

"Will she be disowned?" "She better be"

She became ostracised in school, events and other places where she was usually welcomed in the past.

But that didn't bother Ella Kiyoni. She was optimistic, full of life and energetic. And she had friends who always had her back. Especially her best friend, Leon.

What mattered to her the most was her freedom, and she wouldn't let it be taken away from her.

And for some reason, she felt she'd find it at a mixed academy—magic and non-magic, and maybe she did.

How similar are Ella and Elia to each other? Can a mother and daughter have a bond even without meeting each other? Maybe through their need for freedom, maybe through their need to see what lies out there, or maybe through an academy.
