Disclaimer: Don't own GONE and stuff or any of the other stuff mentioned, but I did make Amelia- pls don't copy her. Duh. Anyway...
Amelia
Her short hazel hair blew in the breeze as she stared at the target; she pulled back the string on her bow- smiling at her mum on the side lines. She let go and the arrow hit the yellow bull's-eye.
She smiled widely as the official put the gold medal over her head, a camera flashed- freezing her achievement on paper.
Her mum was clapping, cheering without sound. They talked happily as they drove back to Perdido Beach, then they got home and Amelia put her Archery equipment and trophies away upstairs.
She leapt down the stairs, into the living room. Morning light was coming through them, which was strange as she had won the contest at lunch time. Her mum was talking silently at her; it was like the world was on mute.
She went into the kitchen, sticking the sheet of paper from the Audiologist on the fridge with a magnet. The sun was going down, and she was going deaf.
Slowly she walked into the living room; she had a cold and was having a sick day. Her baby brother was crying soundlessly in the corner, her mother yelling at her father again.
'Please stop fighting!' Amelia spoke, it sounded muffled even though it was coming from her mouth. Her father had lost his job again; he turned on her- shouting mutely.
Then they were gone. Disappeared. Vanished. There then gone, she couldn't be going mad as well as deaf could she?
Amelia's eyes flew open. It was the nightmare again. She reached for her clock, to feel its silent ticking. Time to get up and help at Day Care, she had dumped her brother there long ago, when the FAYZ started. She couldn't handle him and herself.
