Twenty six
"Amelia, you can't," Charlie told her.
"They killed my family, because I didn't join them. I'm not having Georgie face this when she gets here. I didn't do anything, if I don't stop them they will kill me too. And Georgie when she gets here. I need to stop them, are you going to help?" Amelia asked. Charlie looked at his friend's determined face. He nodded and he saw Gabriel, Billy, Fidelio and Dagbert nodding too.
"Yes, but we might need the others help, so we discuss it at break," Charlie said.
Amelia agreed and went off to her flute lesson.
Break
Olivia looked at her cousin's serious, determined face as she walked over to them. "please tell me you are not going to do anything dangerous," she called when Amelia was in hearing distance. Amelia looked at her. "Stupid question," she muttered.
Amelia looked at all her friends, everyone was supporting her. "We go to their office at lunch and I explain the situation, if they don't answer us, you two," she nodded at Tancred and Lysander, "will distract them while I remove a part of the building. Olivia and Charlie as soon as we enter you two will sound the fire alarm and get out before I injure you accidentally. The rest of you just be alert for trouble." Everyone nodded. Olivia held Amelia's hands and Manfred and Asa, who had been pretending to not be listening acknowledged the plan. The horn sounded and the friends went back to the school.
Lunch
Tancred, Lysander, Amelia and Emma were standing outside Dr. Bloor's office. Amelia knocked and Olivia looked at her sister from round the wall. The door opened and the four walked in and Olivia turned over her shoulder and gave Charlie the signal to sound the alarm.
Tancred was standing behind Amelia, "We have to get out," Dr. Bloor told the children.
"There's no fire sire, it's a precaution," Tancred explained.
"Now, you killed my family, why?" Amelia asked calmly. Dr. Bloor didn't reply. "You know what I can do so I suggest you answer." Still no response, so Amelia sighing looked out the window at the boy's dormitories which could be seen through the window and focused her energy. The dorm's vanished and the boy's stuff fell to the ground. There was a sharp intake of breath from those on the ground. "Now why did you kill my family?" Dr. Bloor looked stunned but still didn't reply so Amelia made the girl's dormitories vanish. The girl's stuff fell to the ground. "Let's try a different question, why did you kidnap me on Friday night?" This was greeted by silence. Amelia winced as she used her mind to imagine the entrance hall to the school and destroyed it. "Final warning, half the school, has already gone so if you don't answer this time everything will be destroyed except the king's room. Now why did you kidnap me and kill my family?" Dr. Bloor glared at the girl with blonde hair and looked at the two boys and Emma standing behind her. He closed his eyes and didn't answer. Amelia turned to her friends, "Run, now," she cried. She closed her eyes and focused on the whole school.
Emma, Tancred and Lysander ran out of the office and down the stairs. They stood next to Olivia, Charlie, Billy, Gabriel, Fidelio, Dagbert, Asa and Manfred and watched as slowly the walls of the school looked like it was expanding and shrinking very slowly then with a loud 'POP' the school vanished and you could see the King's room still in place and Amelia and Dr. Bloor standing on nothing 12 feet in the air. Dr. Bloor screamed but Amelia looked at her friends and smiled before the two plummeted to the ground. All Amelia's friends ran over to her she was laying in a funny position and looked her hurt. Dr. Bloor stood up, took one look at the girl and walked over to the school.
"School will be closed for four weeks while we rebuild it," he told everyone. Everyone cheered except the eleven friends who had called an ambulance and were worried about their friend. The ambulance arrived and Amelia was put into the back. Olivia was allowed to travel with her. The others picked their bags up, and Olivia's and Amelia's, and ran to the hospital.
When they got there Dr. Bloor was there and Amelia was sitting up in bed with one arm in a cast and one leg in a cast. They all sat around her bed. She smiled at them and Dr. Bloor carried on talking to her. "We wanted you on our side because of your powers. You were a mystery to us and we couldn't have you because you were on the other side, you were forbidden to us. We were scared of you that's why. We thought we could scare you into being on our side. But it failed and we are sorry." He stood up and left. The others all started chatting to her.
