Chapter 4:Year 6
Emily
I woke up and looked over to Emma. She was combing her hair. I noticed my hair was longer then yesterday. I get old fast! I got up and grabbed my brush and brushed my hair. I put it into a pony tail and looked out the window. I can't believe I was 6. I sighed and went to mom. "Hey mom can I train?" I asked. I wanted to be ready for whatever I was fighting. She said "no". I went to the window and looked out it. I heard the voices again. "Emy I won't give up on you! None of us will!" I heard a voice say. I went into my room. Emma looked at me. "Emma I'm scared." I said. She hugged me. "Why?" She asked. "Because. Everyone is lying to me. I been called Emily twice yesterday and now everyone is saying it's nothing." I said flopping on to my bed. She came over and said "Everything will be fine, Emily" She said. "SEE" I said face palming myself. "Sorry Emily! I mean A.J." She said quickly correcting herself. I looked at her and sighed. I got up and ran out of the room. The ship rocked. I tripped.
I screamed in pain from the sudden impact on my face and little body. My mom came running out and helped me up. I pushed her away and ran to the very end of the ship and nested myself up against the wall of the very old creaky ship. I pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. I nested my head into the gap between my chest and knees and started to cry. My mom rubbed my back and called for Emma. Emma came over and sat in front of me. I looked up at her. She had worried in her eyes. "Emma I am sending you to out for a break. Keep her away from them and protect her." My mom said. My mom hugged me and kissed my forehead. She then helped me up. I fixed my dress and Emma grabbed my hand. We jumped off the ship and we swam to the bottom. Eventually we found ourselves in a different world. The sky was blue not red. There was grass and Cement instead of water and wood. There were buildings and fresh air and birds and people! (This was I thought how she would react to all these new objects) We started to explore. I saw some posters of a teenager on it. It said "Name: Emily Ann Pirtle Age:16 Missing Date: 8/9/10 (fake date) Last Seen: Wearing a yellow tank top tucked into a blue denim short skirt with a blue denim sweater wearing black flip flops with a yellow rose in her hair. Please help us find Emily" I stared at the picture of Emily. "Hey A.J. want to get some ice cream?" Emma asked. "Sure but my legs are kind of tired. I will go sit on the bench over there" I said pointing to the bench. I crossed the street and sat on it. I held my knees up against my chest. A group of teenagers approached me. I looked up at them.
Jayden
"Wait is that Emily?" Mia asked pointing to a little girl curled up like a ball. I took a picture of her and sent it to Serena. I attached the picture with a message saying "is that Emily?" I got a reply "That's Emily….When she was 6 years old."
I nodded to the others and we walked up to her. She looked up at us. "Emily?" I asked. "Why is everyone calling me that! First my mother then my sister!" She snapped. "My name is A.J.!" She continued. "Emily. It's us. Mia, Mike Kevin and Jayden. Do you not remember us?" Mia said. She shook her head. "Emily please try to remember!" I pleaded. "Stop calling me Emily. If any of you call me that again I am going to scream!" She snapped. She is so confusing us. "Emily-" Mike tried to say something. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed. "EMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAA!" She screamed. We covered our ears. A girl came running. She was an exact copy of Emily. Or is she Emily? She looked at us and her eyes widened. "A.J. Let's go now. Mommy would be mad at us if we communicated with them. So would Daddy. He practically hates you anyways. We don't need him sending in those fish faced creatures just to get us!" The girl, probably Emma, said. They both stared at us.
Moogers came out of the gap. We sighed and started to fight. The moogers tried to grab A.J. She seemed more scared then Emma. Emma was also trying to grab her. She would pull away from them. She stood up and out of the blue started to fight. She punched and kicked up until one grabbed her from behind. She screamed. Emma signaled for the mooger to bring her back to the gap. I ran over and sliced the mooger from behind with my sword. He dropped her and she thanked me. Once all the moogers were gone, Emma went over to her. "A.J. we have to go home!" She said pleadingly. "NO! Everyone there lies to me! Somehow these teenagers are the only ones I know who don't lie to me. I trust them more than my family!" A.J. snapped. "More than your own identical twin sister!" Emma replied. Emma lunged at A.J. but we grabbed Emma. "Talk about polar opposites." Mike said.
Dayu came out of the gap."LET EMMA GO!" Dayu shouted. So that this bears mother! "A.J. YOU GO HOME NOW!" "NO!" "GO HOME OR YOUR FATHER WILL DESTROY YOU!" Dayu shouted at A.J. Dayu came closer to A.J. as A.J. back away. She hid behind us. "Stop! Scaring ! The! Girl!" I said through clenched teeth. "She is my daughter. I will do what I want red ranger!" She said back to me. "No she is not. She is the yellow samurai ranger of earth and only had an older sister, caring mother and father. You are none of this. Mia get Emily out of here!" I said. Mia picked up Emily and ran home with her. We started to attack Dayu. Emma retreated into the gap with Dayu. We went home to see Emily talking with Ji. Ji stared at us with confusion. "That is Emily. Just a 6 year old version." I said. "So your telling me my name isn't A.J.?" She asked me. "Yes and your sister is coming tomorrow. Do you remember Serena?" I asked. "No who is that?" She said. "It's your biological older sister. Emma isn't your sister. Just a copy of you. Now humor me what's your favorite color?" I asked. "My favorite color is yellow but my mom and sister hate it and force me to like the color of the water surrounding our ship. A deep blood like red." She said with a bit of sadness in her voice. "Favorite aimal?" I asked. "Ape but I am supposed to apparently like squid or octopuses like my babysitter octaroo. But anything I love apes." She said. "I am feeling kind of tired where can I sleep? I don't feel like going home. My father would practically try to drown me and my mother would hurt me badly!" "Don't worry. You will stay here till we find something to help you remember things and places. Also get you back to your normal age. You will sleep with Mia tonight. All we need to do is get you some PJ's" I said. "I am fine. I can sleep in this. Goodnight!" She said as Mia showed her to their room. "Ji we need to find a cure." I said. I left the room, not ready for what happens next, leaving Ji searching through books to search through my own.
