This is chapter three in the story of Amelia. Enjoy. I would like to thank all of my reviewers once again! It made my day to see so many reviews.
Mia felt the wind flying through her hair, and the strange sickening feeling of falling. It the sense of falling that made Mia feel like an idiot for thinking that jumping off the back of a horse to try and grab a flying hurrock's legs was a good idea. 'Well, at least they'll say I died honorably, right?' She thought to herself. Then she felt her hands connect with something feathery. A wave of relief washed over Mia. Then, she looked up to see that the something feathery was actually the hurrock's legs. She stared, dumbstruck at her own luck. She yelled triumphantly. Then she shut her mouth quickly. 'It's not time to celebrate yet Mia.' She told herself. She looked up at the hurrock curiously. 'If I remember correctly, none of the characters ever had any problems with these creatures, not even Daine. This is really strange. Why would a hurrock do this?' She thought to herself in confusion. She shook her head to clear her thoughts. 'Stick to the matter at hand, Mia. Worry about the complex bit when your feet are safely on the ground again.' She chided herself mentally. She looked up at the hurrock she now clung to. It had noticed her. It started to try and shake her off her off its claws. First it flew in a zigzag pattern, whipping Mia this way and that as it went. Mia, however, was determined not to drop off before she had the baby in her arms. So, the hurrock, noting this, started to shake his feet even harder than before.
"Oh is that how you want to do this?" Mia called up tauntingly to it. "You aren't so scary, you over sized pidgeon! Bring it on!"
In answer to Mia's taunts, the hurrock flew up very high in the sky. It shook its legs again, forcing Mia to cling on harder. She gritted her teeth as they chattered in her mouth from the shakes. Then, the hurrock gave her the chance she had been waiting for. It flew down very low, intending to scrape her along the ground. She decided that this would probably work better than her original plan, ignoring the small part of her brain that was screaming 'WHAT PLAN????'. She pulled herself up farther so that she sat right next to the baby. 'Now then, how am I supposed to get you out of there little guy?' Amelia thought as she looked at the baby. She stared at the baby's face. The baby's face was red from crying so much. Every now and then, a small whimper could be heard from the small bundle.
"You look just like your daddy." Amelia told the baby and smiled at the small face.
It was true. The baby even had Neal's eyes. But the baby's hair, which was jet black, was definitely Yuki's. Amelia shook her head again to get herself to concentrate.
"All righty, let's see." Amelia said.
She studied the hurrock's claws.
"Maybe, if I press here," Amelia said, feeling every bit like the person in the cartoon who had come across the button that said 'DO NOT PUSH!' written on it and pushed on a joint above one of the hurrock's claws.
The giant bird screeched in pain and let go of Amelia and the baby. It was only then that Amelia noticed that while she had been studying the hurrock's claws, it had flown up very, very high in the air again.
A/n: I'm so sorry that this chapter is so short. I tried to make it longer by adding more detail. I hope you like this chapter. I promise that the next chapter will be really, really long.
