When I came inside, I found my sister on the couch, re-reading 'Patriot Games'. I can't believe she likes books so much. Me, I'm a sports nut. I love soccer, basketball and hockey and play all three in my spare time.
The twin terrors were watching 'Inspector Gadget' on video. I think they were planning to build themselves something like that. I don't know.
I went into the kitchen. Mum and Dad were there, talking quietly. They looked up when I came in.
"Ria, did Kane give an address or a phone number that you could contact him on?" asked mum.
"No, why?" I said, as I shook my head.
"Oh, your father and I think this 'feud' between Emma, Damon and us has gone on long enough. I just want to get in contact with her again."
I nodded. "Can't help you, sorry mum. Sorry dad." I made my way upstairs, a plan forming in my head as I went.
I got up to my room and pulled out my best writing paper, which is kinda old because I don't have a good habit of writing letters.
I picked up a pen and began to write:
Dear Emma, Damon and family,
You probably don't remember me. Arianwen Brooke Baggins or Ria. I am writing to you because of my mother. She told me and my dad that she thinks theis 'feud' with you guys has gone on long enough. She would like to see you again, if only for a few minutes. I am tired of listening to my mum cry herself to sleep almost every night and sometimes she wakes up sobbing. I just want to make her happy again. Please come and visit. I'd really appreciate it if you did. I have enclosed a photo of our family. I know mum would be really surprised and delighted if she could see you again. Would you please answer my letter, to me, because if you do come, I want to surprise my mum. Below is my address:
Ria Baggins
Bag End
Hobbiton
The Shire
Luv,
Ria.
I chose a photo of mum and dad standing in front of Bag End, dad with his arm around me and mum with her arm around Fortuna. Todd and Brodie were in the middle of us all. I wrote all our names on the back of the photograph and popped it in the envelope along with the letter. THen, I climbed out the window into the oak tree that grew nearby. I felt like Pollyanna.
When I got down from the tree, I ran to the inn where Kane said he was staying and asked the girl at the bar which room were the Darkshields staying in. She told me room 124 on the first floor, after she had checked her book. I ran up there, slid the envelope under the door and ran back down, thanking the girl and running home at full speed. I climbed the tree again and, unlike Pollyanna, I got up to my room without falling. I changed into my PJ's and lay on my bed, falling asleep instantly.
