I was overwhelmed by emotions and in the moment, I couldn't do anything but stare. My mom…she's alive and well and standing only a few feet in front of me. Though, seeing my look alike scared me a bit. Who was she and why does she look just like me?

I decided to do the only logical thing I could think of, approach them and get the information from them myself.

I took a deep breath and approached them, unsure of what to ask first. They seemed to give me a weird look as they saw me and they looked just as stunned and confused as I was.

"Who are you?" Of course my look alike would speak first, it seemed like something I would do.

"I'm Mia, and you are?" She just gave me a more stunned and confused look.

"Same here…" The three of us stood in an awkward, creepy silence for a while until my mom finally spoke up.

"So, there are two Mia's who look just like each other? How does that even make sense! This MUST be some kind of sick joke. There is no way!" I thought my mom would go into a full blown panic attack mode if we stood here any longer so I decided it was time to tell them what I knew and get their side of the story. For that, we needed a quiet place to talk.

"I promise I will explain what I know but first we need a quiet place to go. Do you guys know of any such place?"

They exchanged looks and signaled me to follow them towards the woods right outside the neighborhood. We walked probably a good twenty minutes in silence before they stopped and I saw why they brought me here. There in front of me was a rundown cottage that look like it was hasn't been lived in for years. It looked like someone came here and claimed it as their own place judging by the food wrappers blown around and such.

"What is this place?" My mom turned to face me with a slight grin but the fear was still showing in her eyes. "This is our top secret hideout. We often come here when we just need an escape. We also have a darker secret that fueled the creation of this place."

"And what may that be?" They must have seem the spark of curiosity in my eyes because they exchanged glances and nodded.

My mom turned to face me again while my look alike went inside the cottage. "We both have one thing we are determined to find."

"And that being..?" I didn't see what the big deal was. This all seemed kind of crazy to me.

"We seek a man known as the Doctor."
