Chapter 5

December 20, 7th year.

Christmas. Finally some time to get away from school. For the first time since Amber started at Aranae, she was going home for the holidays. The problem: Her mother. Amber was currently not speaking to Maureen over a fight they had had. Amber sat with her boyfriend of the last year and a half, Lionel Winter. Alicia and Tory were there too. Maureen entered the compartment. Amber glared at her.
Amber, we need to talk. Amber turned her head away from her mom, hoping she'd catch the message and go away. She didn't. Amber, we're going to have to talk sooner or later about what's happened. Liza and Cheryl entered after Maureen.
Fine! You wanna talk, then let's! Yes, I had adult relations with my boyfriend. No, I'm not sorry about it! Yes, someone knew about it, but I didn't tell them! Amber's voice had reached a fevered pitch. She was angry, and everyone knew it. Maureen stayed where she was, trying to take in the information. She knew everything Amber had said up to-
Someone knew about this? Before I did? Maureen asked. Amber nodded. Who was it, then? It was at this time that Maureen noticed Cheryl was shifting a bit uncomfortably. Maureen's jaw dropped open. What?! Cheryl, you knew about this! One of you better explain fast!
I didn't tell her! She figured it out! If it were my choice, no of you would know right now! So don't yell at her. Yell at me! Amber fumed. Unlike you, Cheryl has been around my whole life! You're my mom! It was supposed to be you! You were supposed to take care of me! You were supposed to teach me how to read and count! But you were never there! Never....
Amber was standing now, staring furiously at her mother. Suddenly, however, the compartment shifted.
Something's wrong. We need to get out of- Maureen's sentence was cut off when the compartment lurched and started to fall off the tracks. Trunks fell from the space above their heads. The train piece started to roll over and over. When it hit a tree and stopped, Liza and Amber were both thrown from the compartment into the snow. Lionel, Alicia, Tory and Cheryl were all knocked out or fainted. Maureen took the most damage. She flew across the compartment and hit her head on a trunk.

Lionel and Tory woke at the same time, not knowing how much time had passed.
You ok? Tory asked him. Lionel nodded. Where is everyone? They started to look around. Cheryl and Alicia were found. Once they came to, they all started to worry. They split up to look for the other three. Cheryl thought she saw Maureen a little ways away. When she neared, she saw a gash on the side of her sister's head. She was bleeding.
You guys! Maureen's over here! She's hurt bad! Lionel dove for Amber's trunk, opened it, and started looking around in it. He found what he was looking for: the first aid kit Amber's mother had made her pack every year. They wrapped Maureen's head in it. It was then that Tory noticed the broken windows.
I'm gonna look outside. she told the gang. Alicia went with her. They found Liza and Amber about ten feet apart. Tory shook Amber awake. Amber looked at her blearily. Amber, your mom, she's hurt. We need to find shelter, fast! Amber only heard half of the statement. She seemed to get her strength back and flew to the compartment. When she saw Cheryl and Lionel hovering over Maureen, she burst into tears. Lionel held her as she cried.
Cheryl looked up from Maureen's unconscious form. She'll be okay if we can find somewhere to take shelter. She needs to be out of the cold or it won't heal and she may die.
Amber lifted her mother and looked over at Tory and Alicia, who was supporting Liza. Her ankle looked twisted. Cheryl had gotten a good hit on the head, Tory thought she might have a broken rib or two. Alicia's left arm was bound in bandages because she had cut it up pretty good. Amber had a few bruises, but was okay.
I think I saw a dark shape like a cabin a ways off. We could try to find it. Tory told them all. They all nodded and left.
After about 30 minutes of searching they found the cabin. It had a fireplace, two couches, and a closet full of blankets and pillows. There was also a small extra room. Those that weren't carrying someone had grabbed what they could from the wreck. Amber laid her mother down on the couch, and Liza was set on the other with her ankle wrapped up and elevated.
Now what? asked Amber. We need a fire, but there's no wood.
Lionel volunteered to go get some wood. When he returned, he asked, Do any of you have working wands? We might need them. Everyone searched their pockets for their wands. Only Cheryl and Tory still had working wands. Tory handed hers off to Liza, being the only other person not underage and conscious. Only for emergencies would they use the wands. They started a fire and conjured enough food for a few days, not knowing when they would be able go get out of there. The snow was falling heavily.
Three days passed, and Maureen still hadn't awoken. Amber was really worried. She was sitting, staring at the fire. Everyone else was sleeping. She buried her face in her arms. A few moments later she felt someone sit next to her.
lo, Cheryl. she whispered, trying not to wake anyone.
She'll be okay, you know. She been through worse then this before. Amber smiled weakly and nodded.
Thank you. I just feel so guilty. The last things i said to her were basically that she was a rotten mother. I didn't mean for it to come out the way it did.....
Listen, all you have to do is apologize. Your mom loves you too much to stay mad at you. Don't worry about it. Cheryl smiled. Amber managed a real smile back. A low moan from the couch behind them startled them both.
Cheryl approached with caution. Another moan. Maureen opened her eyes.
What happened? she said. I feel like i got hit by a truck.
More like a trunk, but close enough. Cheryl said with a smirk. But stay down. You hit your head really hard, and you lost a lot of blood.
Why can't we apparate out of here?
There's some kind of non-apparition spell on the area. We can't. Trust me, Liza and I have tried. We also believe that this is a non-locator area, because if it weren't, someone would have found us by now. Cheryl said with a sigh. Maureen looked around and her eyes met Amber's. Tears were slipping down her cheeks.
Mom, I.....I'm sorry about what i said.....I just.....
It's ok. Her mother said. I'm sorry too.

December 25

Amber and Maureen were arguing again. And what else about? The situation they were yelling at each other about before the accident.
Amber, you don't understand! You shouldn't be that irresponsible! Maureen said heatedly to her daughter.
Why? You were the same way as me! Why do you care!
Because it was a mistake! Amber's face jerk as if she'd been slapped. She turned abruptly and went to the other room.
Cheryl glared at Maureen. You really are that clueless, aren't you? she said to her sister. Maureen looked confused. You basically just told your daughter that she's a mistake! You better go apologize before she Really never speaks to you again. Maureen nodded and went after Amber.
When Maureen tried to put her hand on her daughter's shoulder, she shrugged it off angrily. What do you want?
Amber, I didn't mean it that way.
What way? Amber said in a voice that told Maureen that she knew exactly what her mother was talking about, but wasn't letting on.
Amber, you know what I mean. You're not a mistake. I don't know why i said it. Please forgive me. You're my daughter. I love you and I'm truly sorry. Amber looked up at her mother, and smiled.
Do you mean it? she asked quietly. Maureen nodded. Amber hugged her mom tightly before they went back into the bigger room. Everyone was awake by now. Tory turned to Amber.
You know, I can't wait to get back. All the presents are at home. My mom's probably worried sick about me. she said. Amber nodded.
Hey, everyone. the snow's clearing up! Liza said joyously from the window. The door opened suddenly. Alan, Mary, Kim and Candice stood there.
You guys are okay! Thank god! You've here all this time! These were some of the comments they got from their friends. They went home, thankful to be there.

June 8

As the school train stopped at the station, Amber put her plan into action. She let her owl go with the letter to her mom tied to it. She was leaving. life at home was unbearable now. She and Lionel were leaving. When they would return was unsure, but Amber needed time away from her family.
When Maureen received the letter, she panicked. she, her sisters, and Alan looked for her like crazy. Alan couldn't sense her power at all, which was odd. they tried locator spells, but to no avail. She was gone without a trace.



Over the next 8 years, some good stuff happened. Maureen worked things out with Alan and they got married. At 38 years old, Maureen had another baby girl, whom she named Marianna, nicknamed Mari. This was a year after Amber disappeared. Cheryl was married, but her husband, along with Julie, was killed in an unfortunate run-in with Cell's supporters. Word reached their ears that Amber had finally defeated Cell, but now they had another adversary to deal with. His name was Majin Buu. He is stronger then Cell by a great deal.
Cheryl had a little boy about a year after Mari was born. She named him Christopher, Chris for short.
So now it has been 8 years since Amber left. We have Maureen(45), Alan(46), Cheryl(40), Liza(35), and Jessica(32). Amber, Alicia, Tory, Lionel, and Candice are all 25. The current children are Mari(7) and Chris(6).
