Star: Amazing chapter- you really made this new and different from the other chapters!

Star: You described everything really really well, amazing work!

Wish: perhaps you could explain why Jamie threw the book away instead of giving it to the spirit and ending it all?

Amazing chapter, well done!

Here is the completed chapter with a picture......

**Changing Feelings** Chapter 19

Jamie and Amelia anxiously stepped out of the doorway and on to the high street. Amelia looked at the abandoned chocolate shop and WHSmith and never felt more alone in her life. After all the running they had done, they had never enough time to look at all the damage that had been done by these destructive, wicked, beastly spirits.

Amelia turned to Jamie, who had the book in his arms, and looked at him with a look of loving, cherishing and admiring face. This is the first time Amelia had ever thought of him in this way. Jamie tried to give her a confident smile but Amelia could tell how scared he was of everything that was going on. To think that this morning they were fighting about how they should fight their own battles, well Amelia now could not disagree any more by the way she was feeling. If the whole of Banchory had disappeared and it was just her left, she would have probably just let the spirits take her away and kill her, but Jamie was here. She had something to live for.

Amelia suddenly gave Jamie a big hug and said crying "I love you Jamie so, so much. Please don’t ever leave me, promise?" Jamie hugged her back and said "I promise, you are the best sister I could ever have asked for!" They kept hugging until Jamie let go, shrugged his shoulders, blew out a big breath and said "Right if we want everything back to normal we better do something with this book until the spirits get it!" Amelia wiped a tear away from her eye and sniffed. "Ok but what do you suggest we do with it?" She answered. "I really don't have a clue but I suggest we get to the crack and see what happens from there.” Jamie replied. They walked hand in hand with a tight grip not wanting to let go.   Here it was the crack. Jamie examined it. It was like a huge tear in a book but right down the middle of Banchory. Jagged rocks and darkness was all Jamie could see inside it. He stood up with the ancient book in his hands. He turned a few pages curiously, just glancing at the writing. "What is so special about this then?" Jamie muttered under his breath. Then the book started to shake like mad. Jamie held on to it with his dear life not wanting to let go. "AMELIA! Help the book......" Amelia turned round just in time to see Jamie struggling to keep hold of the antique book. "Hold on to it Jamie!" She shouted. Jamie felt a gust of wind blowing his hair back. He looked up to see the evil spirits rushing towards him. The look of horror on his face would have made anyone scared.

He threw the book in to a dustbin in a secret alley way so the spirits would not get it. He did not even want to know what the spirits might do if they got hold of the book. "AMELIA, HIDE!" Jamie screamed. Amelia had already acted and was climbing into the dustbin with the book. Jamie's reaction time was a second too slow and suddenly the spirits hit him on to the ground, centimetres away from the crack. Jamie's back slammed in to the ground and he groaned with pain. The last thing he remembered was an evil's spirit's ugly face an inch away from him, bellowing for him to tell him where the power was. Jamie was still dazed from the crash but all he could do was memorise what this spirit looked like. It had a pale white ghostly face and grey straw-like hair. Its teeth were daggers drained in blood. The eyes were the worst, red veiny bloodshot eyes like a gash of blood from a fall. Jamie was petrified of this thing!
