My door was locked at all times and the only people I would let into my room were Kate and the big guy along with Henry. Will was my link between my mother because I was a little mad at her. I was her flesh and blood and all she could think about was Ashley. It was a year since Ashley died and yet my mother could still not come to terms with it. I knew she loved Ashley and I know she misses her dearly. I think everyone does but when she forgets my birthday that is something that is not right.

I was alone in my room and I was on a video conference with Declan. He was the only one I could turn to for help on this issue. I could not go to my father about this or the others. So Declan was my only option. He was really good friends with my mother and with me.

"You do know your mother loves you" said Declan.

"Of course I do... but forgetting my birthday and only remembering Ashley's that is a little out of line don't you think?"

"Not really. Your mother just lost a child and you expect her to be alright with it"

"So you think I am being a little hard on her about all of this?"

"Yes just a little" he said with a smile.

I smiled back and we continued our conversation. Occasionally he would be interrupted by his team but that was how the head of the sanctuary house was always busy. Finally when Declan had to go he told me that if he had time he would come and visit. I nodded and as he was about to say goodbye I heard Terrance Wexford Declan looked at me and he then turned his attention to the other screen.

"Declan, Helen is incapable of running the Sanctuary network, she is emotionally compromised from the loss of her daughter"

"Terrance there is nothing we can do she is still running the Sanctuary like she normally does"

"But this is non-sense we both know it. If we make a unanimous decision then we could take over the sanctuary network"

"What are you talking about?" asked Declan. "In case you have forgotten I am Helen's dearest friend and I will not turn on her no matter what"

Terrance and Declan were arguing and Declan kept looking at me and then to Terrance. I listened to every bit of it and Declan then said goodbye to me and shut off Terrance's link.

I knew Declan was under a lot of stress. Hell I would be too if I was apprenticing under Uncle James.

I was walking around and as I reached a window I decided to look out at the city. It was beautiful out and I heard laughter coming from down the hall. I was about to walk down when I saw my mother come around from the corner. She was talking with someone and laughing. I looked at her and was about to walk away when she said my name.

"Sarah"

"Yes mother?"

I was raised to respect my mother around guests and seeing as this person was a guest I had to be respectful even if I was still mad at my mother.

"Excuse me for a moment doctor. If you would like I can introduce you to my colleague Doctor William Zimmerman"

"Sure that would be nice Helen"

I smiled at the doctor and walked with my mother. When she introduced him to will we went to her office. I looked at my mother as she went behind her desk and grabbed a key from her drawer. We then walked to a room and it was pitch black in the room. I looked at her and she smiled at me. When she closed the door and turned on the lights there was a shout of surprise followed by a bunch of people jumping with joy out of their hiding spots.

"Sarah I am terribly sorry please forgive me?"

I looked at my mother and then to the guests and I smiled at her. Every sanctuary head of house leader was here including Declan except Terrance. I also saw my father and my Uncle's there was Kate and Henry along with the big guy and some Abnormal's. I smiled at my father and soon music was going and everyone was talking with one another. My mother left for a moment and Will joined in. My father approached me and actually gave me a huge.

"Happy birthday" he said while pulling a small box from his pocket.

When I opened it I saw a beautiful locket. When I opened it there was a picture of all four of us in it. I smiled at my father and gave him another hug. Uncle James of course gave me a book to read but this book was a vintage book from 1896 which was rare to find. I smiled at him and he knew I loved to read. Uncle Nick smiled at me and gave me a very interesting prize. He told me that I had to figure it out myself and that it was suppose to me a secret. I nodded at him and then Kate the big guy and Will pulled out a very big box. They all smiled at me and when I opened it there was a very beautiful plant inside of it.

"This plant is a little rare but the big guy wanted to give it to you and so we all decided this would be a good present for you" said Kate.

I smiled at them and I looked at Henry. He was talking with some people and I sat down for a moment. My head was hurting a little and so were my legs. I began to rub them and when my father and my Uncles saw this they came over to me quickly.

"Sarah what is wrong?" asked my father.

"Nothing to worry about it is just my leg his hurting that is all, and so is my head"

Uncle James immediately checked my vitals right then and there and I looked at him and chuckled a little. My head ache was gone and the pain in my leg was gone also. I got up and began to talk with Declan and he gave me something that I really liked. It was a video watch that one of his team members made. He showed me he had the same one and I smiled at him.

"In case you need some one to talk to and your on the go I will be right here" he said pointing to my wrist.

I smiled at him and he smiled back. Then I finally went to Henry and he looked at me and then he pulled something out of his pocket. I looked at him and he slid a ring on my middle finger and smiled at me.

"took me awhile to get this made but I hope you like it"

"I love it"

I gave him a huge hug and he chuckled. Everyone was having fun and I was also. My mother soon came and I looked at her and hugged her. She smiled and I smiled back.

"Thank you mother this was a perfect thing. I am sorry about over reacting"

"Non-sense I am your mother and I should have known I should have remembered it is my fault and you had every right to be mad at me"

I smiled at her and she pulled out an envelope and I saw two passes to a resort on the Cayman Islands. I smiled at her and I gave her a huge hug. I wanted to go somewhere where it was just my mother and I and finally she gave me that.

As the day progressed and the party was still going I sat down while I watched everyone dance with someone. My leg was hurting again and so was my head. I was having the occasional dizzy spell but it would go away in an instant. I got up and walked towards the door but my head started to hurt again and I got dizzy. I tried to reach the door but everything went blank. My vision went blurry and that was when I fell to the ground. Everyone stopped to look at me and my mother, Declan, Henry, my father, Uncle nick and Uncle James all came to me.

"Mommy" I whispered in a very faint voice.

"I'm here Sarah"

I could feel her touch my hand before everything went black.
