Natalie's POV

"Reagan, Phoenix, Ted, Nellie, I think we're back in the same position as we was two years ago..." I told the others. There was a murmur of agreement coming from Reagan, Phoenix, Ted and Nellie.

"Excuse me, but where exactly are we?" A young boy asked me, it was Casper Amines-Cahill.

"Yeah, where's my brother and sister?" An even younger girl asked me, Catherine.

"C'mon, Natalie, probably has an excellent reason to why we're stuck in this cellar." A girl that sounded like of she was a bit older then me told Casper and Catherine.

"We're kidnapped by vespers." I said to them The only one of the three new people who understood was Sarah, I think Casper and Catherine didn't know wince they were very young. Casper was only 9 and Catherine was 7. I'm think it's because of their children that Gus Amines and Felicia Cahill moved to Sweden, they wanted to protect them.

"How can you be kidnapped by the vesper, isn't that a star?" Catherine asked, she's pretty smart for being a seven year old.

"It's a group of really mean people, they want to hurt us. But I won't let that happen to you." Nellie told her with a soft voice while she walked towards her.

"I wanna go home." Catherine said out loud, Nellie hugged her.

"We all want to, but Ian, Amy, Fiske, Hamilton, Madison, Jonah, Sinead, Ned, Emma, C, Maria and Hannah will save us." Nellie whispered.

"Who's Madison, Ned, Jonah and those people?" Catherine wanted to know, pointing at Reagan, Phoenix and Ted. I just stood in the back of the room observing everything that happened.

"They're family." Nellie told the young girl and Catherine smiled at us all. It was almost like if that one girls smile made us all think the same thing, 'We will get out.'

"Dear children, it's so nice to see all of you again." Alastair Oh's voice echoed through the cellar.

Everyone looked at him, we all ran to him and hugged hum.

Even Catherine who didn't even know who he was.

Or that's what I thought, but I also thought that he was dead. But again, so did everyone think I was until a week ago, didn't the vespers kill anyone two years ago?

"Cathy, dear child, you've grown so much! How old are you now?" Alastair asked Catherine, she smiled at him.

"I'm seven, and Mar's ten and C's fourteen!" She told him excitedly.

"What about Sarah and Jessica?" Alastair wanted to know. Sarah stepped forwards to tell him herself.

"I'm fifteen, Jessi's seventeen and a vesper." She answered with a small laugh.

"How exactly do you three know each other?" I asked them.

"Natalie! So nice to see you again." Alastair said to me, clearly avoiding my question.

"He's our neighbour." Sarah told me with her usual smile.

"And how does it come that we didn't know you were alive Alastair?" Nellie asked Alastair who looked for an exit, he didn't find one.

"Uhm..." Was all he could say.

"I think I can explain that." A strangely familiar voice said, oh, great, who's coming now, Mr. McIntyre?

William McIntyre showed himself from the shadows.

This is really starting to feel like some kind of dream, the only question is, when will I wake up?

Emma's POV.

Home, it doesn't feel right to call it that way anymore since my family is dead.

We needed someplace to stay, so of course we chose my place since it's the only place in the village.

C lives in the village next to us, that place is much better, it actually has a small mall and a library.

When we came to the red wooden house I called my home I were about to cry, it made me think about stuff I really don't want to think about.

C noticed that I were struggling, so he took my hand at the same time as he took my keys from my jeans pocket and unlocked the door.
Amy, Ian, Fiske, Jonah, Hamilton, Madison, Sinead, Ned, Maria and Hannah made their way into the house, but C led me to my ridiculously small but beautiful garden.

"It's gonna be okay Ellie, we will find Casper and kick those vespers but. The ones that killed your family's to." C told me with a soothing voice. It was pretty weird that he managed to stay calm even though two of his sisters were kidnapped and a third one was a vesper.

"I know, and we'll find Cathy and Sarah too." I reassured him, he gave me a weak smile while staring into my eyes. We do that pretty often...

"You're amazing, do you know that?" He asked me.

"No, I'm not, I'm ugly fat and talentless." I told him while looking down on m,y shoes.

"No, Ellie. You're beautiful, I can't stop looking at you. Your hair is this perfect shade of brown/blonde which goes perfectly with your skin. You're not fat, your a perfect size, you don't need to change. Your style isn't really girly, but it describes you, beautiful, talented, caring, funny, special. Your an amazing at singing, code cracking and computers, you're the smartest person I've ever met. And you know what, I've had a crush on you for five years, I've been longing to tell you this for five long years." C said to me, I were once again almost crying.

"I've liked you since I was 6, that's eight years. In eight years I've been wanting you to tell me this and now you finally do." I whispered to him.

Then that one thing I had been waiting for for years now happened.

The rain started to fall and Casper Wilhelm Andersson kissed me, cheers from nine people were herd and the only that could make it more cliche was if there was fireworks.
Then the fireworks were herd, and confetti was falling. What?
C broke the kiss to bend down and read something that stood on a bit of confetti.

"Happy 12th birthday Emma. We love you/ Becka, Casper and Erick." I started laughing, but also crying. Laughing since Becka, Casper and Erick were probably supposed to give me that two and a half year ago.
Crying because they were all gone now.

"Come on Ellie, you need to get inside." C told me with his soft soothing voice as he led me through the kitchen door.
Amy, Ian, Jonah, Hamilton, Madison, Sinead, Ned, Maria and Hannah stood in the kitchen, pretending that they didn't see what just happened outside.
Fiske came through the front door whistling.

"Did you see those fireworks I found in the pink room?" He asked us all.
We just nodded pretending that the most cliche kiss ever didn't just happen in my backyard and that Fiske hadn't helped creating it.

So the CxEmma (I'll call it Camma) kiss just happened. Unfortuannly (How do you spell that word?) the hostages are still well hostages. And by the way remember the last thing Natalie said, it will be even more important then Charlie. (I'll give you three hints on why he's important, one: He's a taxi driver, the Cahills need somebody to drive them to the hostages. two: Amines-Cahill, is everyone really dead? Three: Natalie needed someone to help her get back home right?)

So anyway It's spring break! *runs around in circles screaming* And my family is officially crazy, this is what happened after I came home from school this friday:

I walk trough the front door with my two best friends behind me.
Everything's dark in the house since I end school at lunch time on fridays. Suddenly my whole family and some people I don't even know jump out screaming "Happy Birthday" and trow a cake on me...

"Guys, you do know Becka doesn't end school until dinner time, right?" I ask them while walking to the kitchen.

"Right, we knew that.."

So anyway, happy birthday to my big sis who's 16 now!
