Flashback of six year old Amara: She was falling through darkness, it was cold, where were her parents? She wanted to go home. She couldn't see. She needed to get warm. Then there were nets surrounding her, pulling her up, voices asking if they could hear her. She woke up and found herself lying on a beach with a bunch of fisherman surrounding her. She saw her father, but where was her mother? Then she got the horrible news her mother had drowned they hadn't been able to reach her in time. Amara cried. And then she got the horrible realization, AMELIA had done this, she had killed her mom. From that day on Amara promised herself that no matter what happened, she was going to find Amelia, and pay her back from taking mom away from her. End of Flashback
While back to now at the institute…. "Bobby calm down, what happened?" Jean asked calmly. "I don't know! One minute she was on her team's raft, and the next minute she was gone!' Bobby yelled. 'Shouldn't we be going down there to search for her?" Tabitha asked impatiently. "No, it's way to cold and dark for us to stay under there for long." Hank said. "I think Amelia knew the whole story, where is she anyway?" Berzerker asked. They all gave each other nervous glances. 'Uh oh." They all said at the same time.
Amelia was swimming, trying to find Amara, she didn't have enough control of her powers to be connected to the ocean, like Amara was connected to volcanoes so this made it a lot harder. Amelia still remembered that time where her powers had gone hay wire and she had almost drowned Amara, and she remembered herself laughing as she saw Amara struggling for air. Amelia needed to find her because she felt responsible for anything that might happen to her.
Amelia had felt like she had been searching for hours when she finally found Amara, she was lying at the ocean floor. Amelia's eyes widened and she formed a whirlpool around Amara that luckily was able to lift her up into the air. The X-men were all waiting. When they finally saw Amara they rushed her to the infirmary immediately. Her heart rate was dropping rapidly and they were performing CPR on her to get her breathing again. Amelia watched for a while and she had to leave. She was sitting down outside the infirmary. Jean came outside. "Is she all right?" Amelia asked worriedly. "We're still not sure yet, we got her breathing again, but it's very shallow and we're going to have to perform and operation on her because we think some bacteria from the river might've gotten down her throat, that's why it took us a while to get her breathing again because there was so much bacteria and algae clogging up her throat, hopefully she'll be okay. It's a 50 50 chance that she'll make it." Jean said. Amelia dropped her head. "Hey don't blame yourself Amelia it was an accident, it wasn't your fault." Jean said comfortingly putting an arm around Amelia's shoulders. Amelia looked straight at her. "Yes it is." And with that she got up and walked away. Jean stared after blankly before getting up and going back into the infirmary to help save Amara.
Flashback when Amelia was six….. "Come on Amelia play with me!" Amara said giggling into her fists then trying to pull Amelia off her position on the couch. "No, Amara I don't want to go outside today.' Amelia said. "Please Amelia? We could go into the pool." Amara said knowing that Amelia couldn't resist the water. Amelia looked at her. "Oh all right." Amelia said getting off the couch. "YAY!" Amara said happily clapping her hands together.
Outside in the pool… Amelia was getting bored of playing with Amara. Everyone thought it was so cool that she had an identical sister, but really, Amara was just a really big pain. Then a sly smile spread across Amelia's face. She knew Amara would believe anything she told her, this was going to be good. "Amara sit on the side of the pool for a minute!" "OK!' Amara said happily obeying Amelia. "OK now I'm going to tie this rope to your ankle with a brick at the end, and this is the really fun part. You'll stay under water while I count to a million, okay?" "OK!" "You ready? Here we go!" And with that Amelia pushed her into the pool as Amara laughed gleefully at the game. Then Amelia got up and left.
About thirty minutes later a local man who cleaned out the pool had found Amara. Then after an hour or more Amara woke up choking and crying. But she never thought that it was Amelia's fault, she just thought that she had lost the game because she hadn't stayed under long enough. End of Flashback.
With that Amelia flopped down on her bed and cried herself to sleep.
OK I know that whole algae and bacteria thing isn't true, but I couldn't think of anything else so let's just say that all that stuff was way down deep where no one could swim down that far. (Unless you were Aqua of course!) And Aqua wouldn't get affected by the bacteria and stuff because well she's Aqua! OK so anyway R&R please and hopefully I'll be able to update soo
