Okay, this is totally random, but here it is. This is a cont. of an already perfect novel, called Castaways of The Flying Dutchman by Brain Jacques. I mean, honestly, the Redwall series was like… waaaay long and I couldn't remember the names, but this book is FANTABULOUS.The emphasis on that word should show you how much I love it. :D I own no one, though wouldn't mind meeting Ben. Or Neb, should I say. wink

Amy looked at her two little girls. Twins. They sat in the small upper bedroom in a small-but-cosy house, no, home in the small town of Chapelvale somewhere in England. "Mommieeeee! A story!" the two girls wailed in unison.

She sighed and shook her head, smiling. It was late. Too late. They looked at her with huge chocolate brown eyes and the sweetest little pouts on the lips. She groaned fake-exasperatedly. "How can I resist those eyes?" she asked sarcastically. The two girls exchanged a smug satisfied look. She walked over to their beds and gently sat on the chair beside their beds.

"okay," she said, "Here goes. This is a story of when I was a little girl--"

"Oooooh, mommie's never told us this 'un! I can't wait!" one girl interrupted, loudly.

"uh huh! I can't wait neither!" the other girl replied empathetically.

"I can't wait either, Meg, not neither. Now, are you going to let me finish or what?" she asked.

"We won't intercept no more mommy! We promise!" Morgan, the other girl cried.

"It ain't intercept dummy head! It's interrupt!" Meg cried out.

"I ain't no dummy head, you's the dummy dum head!"

"Girls…" was all Amy had to say, and both girls fell silent, looking enthusiastic. "Okay, so one day, me and Uncle Alex were out walking, looking for flowers for our mommy. It had been a cold winter and there were few flowers to be found around the house, so, we decided to go out towards the railway station. We normally never went that far. So wither way, we were walking and suddenly, this boy appeared out of nowhere. Or so it seemed to us. He was tall, like this," she said, putting her hand two heads above hers; she was no longer sitting down. "And he was thin, but he looked strong too. He had blonde hair and the most beautiful blue eyes. They were kind of cloudy, like something was hidden behind them, and at the same time the prettiest blue you ever saw… He was ever so sweet, with his hand touching his hat and a little bow. He and us became good friends…" and so the story went on all the way to the end (A/N: if you don't know I summarize at the end) and she paused a moment. Her girls were hooked.

"And babies, I'm telling you, he did it on his own. It may seem like he just helped us along, but it was him. Uncle Alex is the bravest man you've ever seen, right?" the girls nodded. "Well, as a boy he was the quietest shyest boy you'd ever see… It was Ben, him all along. He boosted all our confidence, and he pushed us in the right direction. He was the one who came up with the clues and hinted them. Baby girls, I don't know if you believe in god, but Ben, he was an Angel, sent down by God himself, to save our little town."

"What happened to Ben mama?" Morgan asked.

"Well, one day Jon and us, we were destroying his roof to see what was above it and we saw it was a bell, a big one and it started to ring. It was an amazing moment, with the roof coming down over our heads and we were covered in plaster dust and debris and this beautiful bell was pealing away with the most amazing sound I'd ever heard, like a singer that had been kept quiet so long and I felt the sound all the way down to my bones and all the way in my soul and I cried that day. I cried so hard for everything bad in this world and everything sad and all the people that had died and I was so sad and I don't know why. I'd never cried for no reason what-so-ever before… It was Ben. Ben brought out the good in me. Ben brought out the good in all of us. I always felt he was hiding something, something so sad, so deep within his heart and there was something dark in his past but he was able to ignore all of that and he saved us girls. He vanished. He never came back. We never heard of him again. No one had seen him. Miz Winnie said she saw him vanish into thin air. I'd like to think that he's my angel. I'll never forget him." She finished off. He daughters looked stupefied.

"Mommy, did ya love 'im?"

"I don't know baby."

"Then maybe you did, right?"

"Yes…"

"Why didn't you marry him? Why did you marry papa?"

In her minds eye, she saw Jamie, handsome with his pitch black hair and deep green eyes and charming grin. She loved him, that she knew for sure. "Because I knew I loved your papa. And Ben never came back."
