Chapter+29

It was so weird. As if everyone hadn't realised what crazy things had been going on. As if they failed to know that they had vanished. As if everything was normal. These thoughts were buzzing around Amelia and Jamies heads like wasps zooming around a nest, on the abrupt journey to the hospital. "Are you alright Amelia? The man on the phone to mum told me that she will meet us in your hospital room. We are nearly there, only five more minutes." "Thank you Jamie." Amelia managed to speak, however she did struggle, still feeling ill. Jamie stroked her disheveled, chocolate brown hair, whilst his frail sister moaned in agony. The ambulance halted to a stop. The siblings were rushed out, taken to the x-ray room and then settled down in a diminutive but colourful room. Painted on the sunshine yellow walls was Banchory's village, cramped with smiling people. "Life will be just like that again sis" Jamie assured Amelia. "When your leg has got better." Before she could reply, the siblings mother rushed in, worried for her daughter. She questioned how this had happened, as well as checking the pair were fine. Jamie was. A doctor entered. "Hello there, I have got the girls x-ray results. She'll be just fine. A cast will be put on her, this minute if you please, that'll stay on for a while, until it heals, which will be around six to eight weeks. But no need to worry, all fine!" an overwhelmed expression sailed across everyone's faces. Hugs were thrown around. Amelia had her cast put on to her delicate leg. It was a red cast to represent the spine-tickling spirits, that had scared the two for life, but not just that, she chose it because it reminded her of her ancestor. "I didn't know her name, however I do know she looked like me didn't she Jamie, you know, the ancestor. So elegant and brave. I admire her!" "Yep! I am sad you know, we tried everything we could to save her. She wanted to throw herself in to protect us, get her relatives back and safe." A tear flowed down Amelia's cheek like a minuscule waterfall sitting on soft rocks. She didn't know whether to be glad that she would be fine or petrified from the previous events, brave that the humans had won the great, ghostly battle or just normal, due to her not feeling faint anymore. Overall, she was allowed to go home.

Amelia sat on her wooden window seat, staring out to Scolty Hill. Just below that, she caught view of the place that the crack had pierced through the ground. She had to do something! Go and visit her boyfriend! He surely deserved a right to know what had happened. Was he back? The only way to find out was to go and see him. She would need help to get to her destination though... Jamie.

Crooked, Amelia trailed along in her brothers arms, within Banchory's sunlit streets. There was silence between the siblings, even though there was plenty to talk about. It was probably because they didn't know how to speak and if they talked about it, someone listening, they would be laughed at for their unbelievable story. Not managing to keep in her speech, Amelia was forced to talk to Jamie. "Everyones back. Good isn't it. This is the place where the tree had fallen from the earthquake, smashing to the ground, how can it be fine today? So random." "Yep." Suddenly a wind hissed through the towering tree, causing lushes green leaves to float onto the pathway. It was like the ancestor heard them, so she was comforting them. They stopped stumbling along for a minute. They just looked at the tree. Then their eyes switched to looking at the school. "We will probably be returning to school soon sis, so I can see my mates again, Alex and Robert." Jamie mentioned, pulling the two out of the silence. "Speaking of mates, let's get going." they walked towards the village, near Amelia's boyfriends house. Amelia, still looking back, gazed at the tree. Memories.

When they arrived at his house, Amelia's boyfriend opened the door. He was fine, just like everyone else. It was all normal. All fine. Perfect. Amelia finally decided not to tell him anything, not wanting to put him through the fright, in which she had once suffered, as well as Jamie. Hopefully, everything will be fine from today onwards, but they will never know. Niether will anyone else.

But they will rise again...

20 years later

Dear Jamie, Today is the anniversary that the crack sealed up. I can remember it like it is the back of my hand, can you? I can remember the spooky spirits, the ancestor and so much more. I can recall the earthquake pushing down trees and the sky, filled with clouds and darkness, like there was nothing left in the world. But most of all, I remember the strength you and I had, the fight in us, us staying together no matter what. Although, it wasn't always like that was it. I sincerely apologise for us not getting on in the past, however at least we do to this day. I love you Jamie, my brother.

From Amelia and family.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

This is a AMAZING chapter well done. (2 stars and a wish) Iona Wish- I think you used a bit too much full stops you could have replaced them with something else (I did it for you!) and you forgot to put in some of the replies (e.g Jamie replied or amelia asked), so i put them in for you.. But overall well done!, Hope this helped!
 * You used a mix of sentence structures which is very effective.
 * good use of word choice rather than boring words which makes it alot more interesting.

Thank you for the feedback.
