The Diamond Case

Emily : Her life revealed

         Oh. My life. My WHOLE life. My SUPER DUPER WHOLE life. I forgot that I had a life before, but you know my life is boring. Sorry, I probably don't make sense, so let me explain it this way. How did me and Rose get here on Earth? Well.......... I guess I should say that it's a long story, so long you probably will be in your graves by then, but I think you want to know. It all started out with Rose and I being born.........................

Our mom knew that when Rose and I were born, we were different. All kids with the last name Potter should have a mark on their head, either a little scar or something ginormous. But we didn't have one. Instead, we had some very pale skin, smooth as wax. Our mom, Eva Potter, memorized all the rules of our town, Kilt. She knew that the first one was, "All citizens of Kilt with the last name Potter must have a mark on their head, otherwise they shall be executed the hour after they are born." Now, Harold, our dad, also knew the rules. They couldn't hide us anywhere, for if they did the soldiers would still find us and execute us, and they would get punished as well. Knowing that they could do nothing else, they went to the train station. With Eva holding Rose, and Harold holding me, they lowered us on a train and got off. Then the train drove away. Eva cried for months after that, weeping everyday so much that their bed sheets were never dry. Harold tried to comfort her, tried everything to get her mind off of us, but nothing worked. One day, soldiers of Kilt suddenly stormed into their house, demanding for them to come to them so they could get arrested. Eva shouted that they did nothing wrong, but Harold knew why they were here. The third rule of Kilt said, "If the citizens of Kilt do not have a child by the age of forty, they shall be arrested and put in jail for two months, and then be executed." Now, Harold knew that Kilt was a very strict town, but he never knew that it was that strict. He wanted to go to Eva and tell her the reason the soldiers were here, but they already had both of them in handcuffs. They were put in jail for two months, and then executed. The sad thing was, Eva died without knowing what Harold and her did wrong. Meanwhile, Rose and I were sleeping peacefully on the train, when suddenly a woman picked us up and studied us. She murmured something, and took us to her car, and drove for hours. I woke up, but at that time I did not recognize strangers, so I thought that it was Eva taking us somewhere. Just then, the car suddenly stopped, and Rose woke up. She was just like me, not knowing how to recognize strangers. She picked us up again, and Rose said, "Mama!"

The girl smiled and replied, "These two infants will be great to study." Her smile suddenly turned more wicked and wicked, and then I felt the urge to run away with Rose. The only problem was, I couldn't walk, I couldn't even crawl. She took us inside and up an elevator, and we ended up on floor.... I don't even know. There seemed to be higher floors, with buttons you couldn't press physically, but with your mind. Then everything went black.

So. You can guess what happened after that, right? Yup, we ended up on Earth, with mom and dad still alive and well. Well, and then mom died, but you know what I mean. Well, hopefully. But now that you know everything, you might be wondering where I am right now. To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure either. You would think that since I got my memory back, I would know where everything was, but surprisingly I don't. All I know is that I'm in a room with only a dim light on. It seems to be a cave, but it sure is cramped! Oh, how I wish Rose was here. She would find a way out of here. Ugh! She's the smart one, not me! I tried using Rose's tactic when you are in a bad situation. She said to always look around, and pay attention to all the details. "Even if they are super duper tiny!" Rose would say. With so many things going in my head, though, it was hard to catch the small details. Suddenly, a bright light blinded me. With my eyes closed, I heard a "CLUNK!!!!" above my head. The light finally started to fade away, and I looked up, only to see the roof of the cave about to break. A part of the roof already fell off, and the cracks on the roof kept getting bigger and bigger. I smiled. I just needed to get out of the way, and then the roof would fall, and then I could get out of here!! The only problem was, where would I hide for shelter? My eyes skirted the cave, and saw a little bump on the side of the cave. Perfect!!! I ran over there, just on time before the cave collapsed. With me safe inside the little bump on the side of the cave, the cave collapsed, leaving a little mountain of debris. Carefully climbing the debris, I reached the top of the cave. Now was time for the real question. How would I get down? I sat down and thought about it, but then right when my body touched the rock, I stood right back up. The rock sure was sharp! Uhh. Now I would need to stand up and think! You might be like, ummm, Emily? Standing up isn't that bad whenever you just survived a cave collapsing!!!!!! But like, if you really know me, you would know that it is really hard for me to concentrate. So standing up while trying to concentrate makes it even harder! I tried as hard as I could, but the only solution I could come up with was to jump off the cave. I got super close to the edge, and jumped. I was sure that the position I was in wouldn't hurt me that much, and since the cave was only about ten feet off the ground, it wasn't a big jump, but it hurt. Bad, too. My arm felt like it was bruised all over, but in reality it just had a little scrape. When I managed to stand back up again, I realized where I was. I was in the land of giants.
