Chapter 3

Amy woke up, suddenly. She could smell burning, and hear screaming. She immediately thought to save her Mum. She jumped out of bed, and ran down the hall, to her Mum's room, but she was stopped, for 2 reasons, one: her house was on fire, and two: she was blocked by her older brother, Scott.

"Come on" He said "the Fireman are coming. Go wait outside, I was just coming to wake you up" He seemed very calm, but Amy overlooked this little glitch because of the fact that her house was on fire.

"But how did-"Amy started, but never got to finish.

"Get Downstairs" Said Scott, almost shouting. "OK, OK," Amy said, backing away, then running down the stairs as fast as she could, kinda creeped that Scott, the cool, calm, collected brother had actually almost shouted. She ran headlong into what she thought must be a Fireman- but dressed a bit oddly, Amy thought. He or she, Amy couldn't tell, rushed upstairs.

Just then, Scott came rushing down the stairs and steered Amy out of the burning house. Laura was waiting for them.

"Is Mum alright?" She asked, nervously.

"I don't know yet" replied Scott "the firemen were just about to-"He paused, shocked. Amy and Laura slowly turned around, gob smacked. The house had suddenly burst up in flames, and the firemen all tried to put out the fire. Scott ran to help, too. But all Amy and Laura could manage was to stand still, frozen, hugging each other.

It was now 7:00 a.m. They had been out there for 8 hours and the flames still hadn't died down. Amy and Laura were sat in little camping chairs with blankets wrapped around them, and had been offered hot chocolate by the friendly paramedic waiting for their Mum, but they had both said 'no' as they were kind-of in shock. Another half-hour went by, and eventually the flames died down. But there was no sign of Amy's Mum or any of the firemen. The remaining firemen and Scott rushed inside to check it out. Amy and Laura both got up, but were stopped by the Paramedic, so Amy screamed at her, and ran inside anyway.

The house was completely black inside and everything was just burnt away, into ashes. There was a muffled shout from upstairs. One of the firemen, or Scott maybe, had found something.

Or nothing

It seemed that Scott was searching his Mum's room, which is where most of the action had happened, and had expected to find his Mum,

But no-one was there. The things that had belonged to her were burnt, but not badly. They were knocked all over; there were signs that there had been a struggle of some sort.
