Hi people! Here's the first chapter, hope you like it!
A box of cereal being emptied quickly into a bowl, the sound of The Bangles playing on the radio and the normal arguing between Alex and her father was what greeted Amelia when she walked into the kitchen. Her messy brown hair roughly pulled into a ponytail, her pyjamas creased and her piercing blue eyes sleepy as she stumbled into the noisy kitchen.
"SHUT UP!"
She yelled, reaching for the medicine cupboard and the vital painkillers to ward off her headache. She had been getting them for a while now, they had started around the time she started getting nightmares. She just took it for a weird coincidence. Her father looked at her gently as Alex devoured his breakfast.
"Still getting them nightmares?" he asked, she nodded faintly and burst into tears as she remembered what her last one had been about.
She was standing in the middle of a forest it seemed, no, quicksand. She couldn't move and she could feel something coming up behind her. She desperately tried to turn around and see what it was but she couldn't see it, always dodging to the sides of her peripheral vision. It crept right behind her and she felt a breath on her neck. A cold nail scaled down her back slowly then a gruff voice whispered
"Hello Amelia, so we meet again," something grabbed onto her hand and she screamed as it pulled.
She had then woke up. Before these nightmares she had only dreamed of her namesake, Amelia Earhart, flying the pacific and world with herself in the back seat. Her father was mad about planes and it showed with all the pictures around the house. But she put all that aside as she cried and cried. Her fathers arms around her,
"There there, it's alright, it's over now," she collapsed into him and after a while slowly calmed down.
So there it was, bit of a boring chapter really... But please still review! I'll send you virtual cookies!
