A/N: Hi, this is the sequel to All The Things I Lost so I recommend you read that first.

Chapter 1:

Sasha's POV:

I stare into the mirror at my own face and at the photo stuck up on it of another fourteen year old girl. The similarities between us are striking. That's what Dad says. "You look just like your mom. And it's not just the looks, you have similar personalities. Sometimes sweet, sometimes sour, always very important to me." (My dad).

Here's the thing. My dad's great but he's not my mom. I need my Mom. So I've never met her. It doesn't matter. Don't start thinking she's a bad Mom or anything like that. Dad's told me again and again that that's not true. He says that he was dating mom and then his cousin kidnapped her and brainwashed her into loving him (dad's cousin). It's complicated but apparently mom was pregnant with Dad's baby (me) and Dad knew so when I was born he went to them and took me because he knew I'd be in danger with his cousin, Jack. He tried to get Mom too however Jack had brainwashed her so much that she didn't love Dad anymore.

I have decided that I'm going to find my mom and get her to come back- no matter what.

Later at dinner with Dad and his friend Jason I tried to ask about Mom but I didn't really want to with Jason here. Although he could be my uncle, he's here so often and knows me so well, he's not, and this is a family matter.

So as soon as he leaves I approach Dad, saying "Dad, can I talk to you?"

"Alright darling. Quickly though. I have business to attend to." As usual. The two of us walk through to the living room and sit down on the couch. "Well Sasha?" He asks, sounding like he really doesn't have time for this.

"Uh. I was. I was. Won-wondering if." Oh come on! "I was wondering if you could tell me some stuff about Mom?" He looks at me with an expression I can't read but I plough on. "Like, where she lives? I want to go see her." It comes bursting out of me.

"Sash, that's not possible."

"Why not? I'm fourteen years old tomorrow and I still have never met my mom even though I could of."

"I don't want you to get hurt."

"Well if you won't help then I'll do some of my own research!"

"SASHA ROXANNE LAKEWOOD!" Comes the roar I know well. "I forbid you to." I march out of the room, angry, and head straight up to my room. I fed up with being a goody-goody who does whatever she's told. I've never really had friends as I'm home schooled yet I never try to leave to make them. I always help my Dad and I never go where he says I can't go. His office! Maybe that has a clue about Mom!

I lie in bed waiting until I hear Dad go into his room. Then I wait an extra 30 minutes before I silently creep out of my room and past his door. I am quite certain that Dad's asleep yet I'm still really nervous that I'm going to get caught. I get to the office door and try to open it however it's locked. I was so close. I look in all the obvious (and less obvious places) and I find no key. He must have it with him. Do I really want to sneak into his room and search it, risking the likely possibility that he will wake up? No. I'm too scared. I'm not giving up though. I'll find a new way to get inside.

I make my way outside carefully avoiding the 'security' cameras. Finally (shivering in my pyjamas and slippers) I am outside the window of Dad's office (a window which he conveniently forgot to lock and didn't completely close either)! I push it upwards and seeing as I'm so small I can easily fit through. I see no cameras scanning this room however it is filled to bursting with computers and desks. Paper with scribbles on it all over the floor. My eyes widen as I look at one of the computers. The screen is divided into four and it shows different areas of a house. One is a bedroom and in that one, I can make out the figure of- my mom! She's different obviously, much older. But it's clear to see that it's really her!
