I watched the others leave. I had I rough idea of what it was that I wanted to do and it was all thanks to that photo. I walked around until I found an extraordinary building with the sign 'Jade's breeds' written on the front.
I walked in and a young woman approached me.
"Hi there, how can I help you?"
"Is Jade here?" I asked.
She looked slightly shocked for a moment then said, "yes, right this way."
She lead me to an office at the back of the building. I opened the door and walked in, a familiar aroma reached me.
"Rosmary." I muttered.
"It's my favourite," replied a voice.
I followed the sound to a chair, the back was turned to me but I could tell someone was sitting in it.
"What do you want?"
I pulled the photo from my pocket and put it on the desk. "Are you the woman in this picture?" I asked.
I hand reached out and pulled it from the desk. There was silence for a moment. "Why?"
"I know I'm the little kid in that picture, if you're the woman then I have a right to know."
"You have no such right. The boy in this photo is dead. I saw it myself."
"Well then I have to say that that's a load of bull****. I know because I remembered. I remembered the house in Littlewood and I remembered...I remembered the day she walked out. When she'd had enough...when she told me she loved me..." I stopped after that.
There was a brief silence. "I did it for a reason. I had no choice."
"I know."
The chair spun round and the I finally got to be face to face with my mother. She got up, walked over to me and hugged me tightly.
"I don't know how...and I don't care...I'm just happy you're okay."
I squeezed her tightly.
"I knew I could find you."
We parted and she looked at me. "But I saw you, you were...gone..."
"Maybe. The thing is, I don't remember much of my life, at least not before this." I spun around showing her my tail. "My friends told me some guy called Rowan did this. We're heading to Littleroot to try and reverse it." I explained.
She looked at me, her expression saddened. "Sam, I have...something to tell you."

I walked over to the meeting place, It wasn't yet time but my mother and I had caught up on basically everything. I had my own issues to settle now. Very personaly issues.
