Daniel had watch closely when watching the screen of everything Vlad could see and hear Amelia do. Now he just ran knowing exactly were to go. Vlad had left Amelia's head and entered Daniel's in fear for his step-brother.
Suddenly, Amelia heard quick and fast footsteps. She used her powers to see through the trees and bushes. She saw Daniel. That's when she felt it. Truly felt it since she had run away from her new life she had barely begun. Truly felt the emotion's burning and aching feeling in her chest. Fear. Amelia ran. It was hopeless. She tried to make Daniel think she was going right instead of left or left instead of right. It was hopeless.
Suddenly, Daniel leaped on his sister causing them both to end up on the floor.
"You murdered him! You murdered him!" Daniel yelled slapping and shaking Amelia with all his strength.
"I didn't!" Amelia yelled back shoving him in the chest.
"Don't lie to me!" he screamed, when he caught his balance.
"I'm not lying!" she shouted.
"Well if your so flapping innocent, why did you run off hmmmm?" He shrieked, not really wanting his question to be answered. "A pretty guilty thing to do isn't it?." he questioned, still shrieking. There was silence as the tension grew and Amelia thought of what to say.
"You don't understand." Amelia whispered.
"Your right I don't." Daniel said in a normal voice. Yet Amelia had experienced this many of times. She knew he was just resting his voice and was going to start his attempt of making the whole world death all over again. "So why don't you tell me and admit you MURDERED HIM!" he yelled as loud as he could trying the hit Amelia, but she grabbed his wrists.
"Please just calm down and listen to me." Amelia begged.
"Get off me." he snapped forcing his hands away and rubbing them because they were sore from his twin's tight grip, yet glaring at her all the time. "Why can't you just tell me the truth." Daniel asked, coldly.
"I am." she snapped, successfully holding back her tears, not wanting to cry in front of him.
"No your not." Daniel said, with clear venom in his voice.
"Of course you would insist your right." Amelia mocked.
"That's supposed to mean?" he asked.
"That dad hypnotized you to forget every little detail every time you saw him abuse me." Amelia explain.
"Don't believe you!" Daniel snapped.
"Course you wouldn't." Amelia mocked again.
"Dad wouldn't do that." Daniel defended weakly.
"You barely know Dad! In fact you don't know him at all because every last memory you of him was made up in your head to fill the gaps." Amelia yelled.
"Lies, lies, lies!" Daniel repeated over and over.
"I've lied for 4 years Daniel do you really think I am that thick to tell more?!" she yelled over him and cutting him off.
"Yes." Daniel stated.
"Walked into that one." Amelia muttered.
Silence.
Gar Side . . .
"Told you there was going to be a fight." Ingrid said in a told-you-so voice.
"Ingrid?" Vlad asked, irritated.
"Yes." she replied.
"Just stop talking!" he snapped. Vlad revived a dirty look, before Ingrid whooshed to her room.
The woods . . .
"Can you just tell me what happened that?" Daniel asked eventually, still having anger in his voice.
"Yeah cause you'll believe me just like that." Amelia said, with very clear venom and sarcasm in her voice.
"I want to know!" he snapped.
"It was self defense." Amelia explained.
"So you admit to murdering him?" he asked.
"No, I said SELF DEFENSE." she patronized, by saying 'self defense' loudly and slowly, as if he were stupid.
"Self defense from what?" he yelled.
"Remember how I told you about the slayer. Who dad bit, began a vampire and tried to kill me by biting my left shoulder?" Amelia snapped, in question.
"Yes." he said.
"Well there was no slayer. I made him up." Amelia explained.
"Then how . . . " he said his voice trailing off.
". . . did I get the scar?" Amelia snapped finishing her twin's question. "Dad." Amelia said.
"No. No. No." Daniel repeated again and again, irritated.
"Yes Daniel it's true he was trying to kill me." Amelia cried, over him.
"No. Dad wouldn't do that! Your lying!" he yelled over Amelia before he had even stopped talking.
"You witness him abuse me again and again you were just hypnotized to forget!" she shouted, desperate to be heard, by her twin, over his own yelling.
"No. Dad couldn't hypnotize me if tried cause he CARES about me too much" he screamed.
"No he doesn't!" she shrieked.
"You're a lair! You're a fucking lying bitch and I hate you!" Daniel roared.
"Daniel! He was trying to kill me so I got a knife and stabbed it through his heart!" Amelia bellowed. Amelia's hand instantly went over her mouth as if she could literally take back the words she had just said.
Silence.
Just silence.
Nothing but silence.
Daniel glared until his eyes were desperate to blink.
Suddenly, he blinked and tried to attack Amelia. However when he was about a meter from his sister, he ran into some force field that neither one of the twins knew was there. Daniel was knocked to the floor.
Curious, Amelia walked to the other side of her brother. Daniel got up and starting hitting and kicking her. Amelia kicked Daniel in the balls and went back to were she was.
Amelia stood.
Amelia stared.
She hadn't kicked him that hard, but he was still on the floor in pain, although this was more to do with Daniel running back into the force field. Amelia begun to run. It was only a 300 meter run before Amelia was at the back door, of the cabin. She took a key that was on a chain around her neck and opened the door. She put her ruck sack on the table. She sat on the sofa and hugged her knees.
"Stop it. Stop it Stop it." Amelia said over and over as she slowly rocked herself, unable to control the flash backs. Amelia knew Vlad was inside her head and refused to cry. Vlad could see or hear her flash backs but he couldn't hear Amelia taking to herself and could tell their was a problem.
"Get out!" Amelia shouted. "I don't want to remember!" She snapped at herself, putting her head in her knees and hugging her own head, while rocking faster. "Stop!" Amelia screamed. All she could see was her father biting her, then Amelia staking him again and again. Then it changed. Changed, to her father constantly hitting and whipping. "Please." Amelia begged herself.
"She's lost it." The Count and Ingrid said at the same time.
"Both of thee shut up!" Raymond yelled outraged, just before Vlad was about to say a similar thing.
"Stop it! Get out!" Amelia screamed now laying on the sofa, shivering. Amelia was breathing heavily, even though she didn't breathe. Trying to calm herself. Trying to stop the flashbacks. It was hopeless. Then Amelia saw a face. The face that started Amelia's mental problems when she she died. "Scarlet?" Amelia asked herself.
"Who's Scarlet?" Vlad asked, trying to get through to her noticing Clark's evil smile grow larger and larger.
"You can't see her?" Amelia said only half aware of Vlad. "I can." Amelia said, shocked as she stood up.
"Amelia, no one is there." Vlad explained. Amelia didn't listen. She could she see Scarlet standing in front of her, staring at her. "Amelia?" Scarlet questioned, when Amelia held her hand - all everyone else could see was Amelia's loosely clenched fist.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Amelia asked, Scarlet who was just a image in her head. "Because it's your fault. All of it is." Scarlet snapped, pulling her hand away. "I haven't done anything. What's my fault?" Amelia demanded. "This." Clark said, coming from behind her - Clark is in Amelia's head as well. Clark pushed Amelia, into the table. Of course Clark wasn't really there so couldn't of done this, Amelia jerked forward into the table. When she looked back at Scarlet and Clark their was a chair behind Scarlet, which she was pushed into. Ropes appeared and Scarlet was tied to the chair. "Don't touch her!" Amelia ordered. However, much Amelia tried to stop it, it was happening again. Scarlet's death. Amelia tried to grab Clark's knife, but he wasn't really so all Amelia was doing was running through them screaming and shouting, but not crying. She still knew Vlad and everyone else was watching her, so she refused to cry.
Suddenly, everything stopped. Clark, the chair, the ropes and Scarlet disappeared. They were replaced by a dead Scarlet laying on the floor. Amelia got on the floor and stared at her. Scarlet - who wasn't really there only in Amelia's head - opened her eyes, sat up, Scarlet was covered in cuts and defiantly looked dead. Amelia stood. Amelia stared. "This is all your fault." She said. Amelia ran, as Scarlet repeated those 5 words again and again and followed Amelia, who ran up the stairs. The room upstairs contained a old and rusty metal bed. With a mattress in a air tight bag, lots of cushions all around the room also in air tight bags.
Amelia heard - in her head - Scarlet coming up the stairs, so Amelia grabbed a stick that was by the metal bed, hocked it on the hatch and pulled, so anther set of stairs came down. Amelia went up them. She was in a tiny box room like a wardrobe. Amelia opened the door and was now on the roof of the cabin.
Whoever made this cabin must of been a very big doctor who fan because the box was decorated to look like a TARDIS. (A/N: Had to add that bit in. Lighten the mood a bit when it's all doom and gloom. Sorry, not a crossover.)
The roof had a stair case that lead to a tree-house. Amelia ran into the tree-house. This room had a oddly shaped table - like a right-angle triangle with a end cut off - a wooden rocking chair, a wooden bench and more cushions in air tight bags. Amelia used super speed to the open doorway of the tree-house, for the fresh air. Amelia could sense 'Scarlet' behind her.
"Go away." Amelia snapped, as she sensed 'Scarlet' getting closer. "Your dead." Amelia told the imagery corpse in the room behind her. "Your dead Scarlet. And I know it's my fault but just leave me alone!" she begged, as it got closer. "Your not real." Amelia said, but it as if she was uncertain. "Your just in my head." she insisted, believing this more, knowing 'Scarlet' was right behind her. 'Scarlet' touched Amelia's left shoulder. "Your not real, go away!" Amelia yelled, as she turned around. "No one's there." Amelia said, as if she thought she was crazy for not being able to see her dead friend.
"Amelia. Come back to Gar Side. You need help." Vlad ordered, reassuringly. Amelia turned and sat down in the doorway.
"I have enough voices in my head as it is Vlad. I don't need yet another." she explained, pushing Vlad away.
Gar Side . . . .
Vlad felt a sudden pain in his head and fell to his knees. The count whooshed over to him.
"Vladdy! Are you all right my boy? What happened?" he questioned.
"Amelia has literally pushed me out her head." he explained, as he was helped up, still holding the right side of his forehead. Talitha helped as well and let Vlad rest on her shoulder. "I don't understand about the force field Daniel ran into. And who is Scarlet? Amelia could see a dead girl called Scarlet." he added, his head still on his girlfriend's shoulder.
"The force field is rare. It really shouldn't happen especially with a girl who is under-aged." Bertrand explained. "It only happens with very powerful vampires, who are scared. Well not just scared, completely terrified for the worse, possible thing to happen." he continued.
"And Amelia is both powerful and terrified." Raymond defended, before anyone said the opposite. "Go on." he added, to Bertrand.
"The force field throws any vampire under age or not to the floor and breathers just have a unknown urge to stay away. The average length it covers is 300 meters from where ever the planed destination point is, for the person to get to." Bertrand continued.
"Which is where ever that house place she was, were she had a key." Ingrid added.
"Their are only two people who can get through. the person the vampire fears and a true love." he ended.
"Okay and Scarlet?" Vlad asked, lifting his head. "Anyone?" he added, looking at Clark.
"A friend." he snapped.
"Well done Sherlock." Becca sarcastically said.
"It would be easier if Vlad go get inside Amelia's head again." Daniel snapped, he was standing their by the door. Everyone had clearly been too absorbed in what was going on to notice him coming in.
"That's a bad idea. It might not have been obvious, but a massive amount of power must of gone through Amelia for her to be able to push Vlad out her mind, trying to get back in now would be useless and very painful to Vlad." Bertrand explained quickly, in case Vlad instantly took his stepbrother's advice.
Back to Amelia . . .
Amelia had climbed down the rope ladder that was tied to the doorway of the tree-house. Amelia collected twigs and sticks on the way down. Amelia used her key to get back inside the cabin from the front door. When inside the twigs and sticks were put into the fireplace, Amelia clicked her fingers and they all set alight.
That day Amelia also brought make up - mostly Gothic - and 4 different coloured wigs for disguises - Amelia wasn't dumb she knew she would be front page news the next day. She also brought clothes and shoes, all with the stolen money.
Amelia wasn't front page news, but was a short Article about it in little detail with a large picture of her face that the security camera got just before Amelia broke it - she had only got it to burn. Amelia went shopping daily, her make up, wigs and new clothes completely changing her look. Amelia didn't were her wigs on Fridays or the weekends. Amelia wore loads of make up to change her look but made it look normal and washed it off the moment she got in.
The three weeks Amelia was on the run, Vlad had tried everyday to get back into Amelia's mind, but unsuccessful. He looked every night for her, but this was when Amelia stayed in the Cabin knowing the night is when she would be looked for. Yet Friday morning David and Alex's year group had had a Assembly on Amelia and a number to call if she where seen. Vlad Managed to get through to Amelia when the second lesson of the day ended and it was break time.
"Amelia come home." Vlad begged.
"This is my home now." Amelia explained.
"You can't live on the run for all eternity." Vlad reasoned.
"Maybe not, but I'll try." Amelia reasoned back.
"Amelia." Vlad snapped. He was about rant at Amelia when they heard the letterbox open. "What was that?" Vlad asked. Amelia went up to the front door.
"A letter." Amelia told Vlad. She picked it up. It said 'To my love Amelia From David.'. Amelia opened the letter not caring who was in her head and saw.
Dear my loving Amelia,
Today at school there was a Assembly, all about you. About how you vandalised a shop and shoplifted from there.
I couldn't believe it, there was a number to call if we saw you. And even a £100 reward! Alex is angry. She thought
you were a good vampire and that's why she stayed your friend, but now she thinks she has realised that your
'just like the rest of them'. But don't worry, I don't that way. I knew you would be at the Cabin, I'm not a expert but
if your on the run you'll go anywhere so long as it isn't the streets. Right? Anyway, I've written this letter to tell you
that I'm here for you. And I don't care what you've done, I still love you. I've literally been sick with worry about you,
there were rumors around school that I didn't believe until they were proven today. Your family wanted it private, but
it's been in the paper that they are claiming you've had on and off mental problems for the last 4 and a half years. I know
you wouldn't do something like this without a reason. Whatever it is I will listen and try to understand whatever your
going through. Please open up and let me. Whatever has happened in the past, I don't care if it's bad. All I care about is
making you happy.
Whatever you've done I will always love you and I will always be
Your loving Boyfriend David.
"Amelia, who is this David and why is he calling himself your boyfriend." Vlad snapped.
"Brilliant." Amelia said out loud to herself sarcastically.
What do you think of the letter?
I thought I would have a funny cliffhanger this time, instead of a doom and gloom cliffhanger.
Please tell me what you think.
Please review,
Bye,
MD,
