The Diamond Case

CHAPTER NINE: My Sister Thinks About Weird Stuff

 "Rose, I'm going to get Emily, OK?" my dad inquired, interrupting my thoughts.

"OK dad."

"Rose, I'm also going to tell the doctors about your trauma..."

"Dad..." I started, but then closed my mouth. If the dad sends me elsewhere, he can. I can always come back. If I tell him I THOUGHT it was trauma, then he would be suspicious, and I can never survive a 2 hour long questioning from dad. Like ever.

My dad smiled and left the room. Thankfully, we moved to a different room WITHOUT Patricia.

Wait a minute. I've been so selfish! I haven't even considered Emily. She'd have to move into a different place with me, but she's so attached to Aunty Em. Ohh, what have I done?

Sinking into my depressing thoughts, I fell asleep, again seeing what Emily was doing. In the back of my head, I had a little question: "Why can I see what Emily is doing when I'm sleeping? And, why couldn't I see it before my near-death experience?"

But I wanted to see what Emily was doing, so I pushed the questions away.

Emily was talking to dad with tears in her eyes. Dad had the saddest look on his face than I have ever seen as he told Emily that we were moving to England. (England? Interesting choice dad...) Emily furiously wiped her tears away as she ran outside to where Aunty Em was taking luggage out of the trunk. Emily suddenly turned away with even more tears in her eyes as she watched that depressing sight of Big Em preparing to send Emily away.

"I wanted to push Aunt Em away from the car, and then tell her that I didn't want to leave, but I knew that she would always support dad's decision, and his decision was for Rose and I to move away. I tried running back into the hospital, but there was something stopping me. I tried again, but still couldn't go in. I didn't understand why I couldn't go in, because there was nothing holding me back. No, NO!!!!!!!!!!!! I suddenly recalled who Patricia once was, before Rose and I somehow fell from the sky with no memories. I knew this was magic making me not go in, I knew everything!!!!!!!!!!!!! Patricia was the one that made Rose fall off the hill!! She pushed her off! Patricia was the one that made Seth listen to her! I can't believe it. All this time, I knew something was wrong, but it was just so in the back of my brain, I couldn't remember it!!!!!!!" thought Emily as she stood frozen in the same spot, with darkness swirling around her. (I can read her thoughts now? Cool!)

A portal opened behind Emily and Emily was pulled into a different world. The portal and Emily disappeared, and Patricia walked out of the bush she was hiding in with the evilest smirk I have ever seen.

In a flash, I could see Emily again. Strangely, she was thinking about our birth.

"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 the 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." (Ohh! So, you decide to think about our birth. Great job explaining to the readers, Em. Hmmm. Something joggled up your memory huh? Well, thank you for telling me that. Well readers, believe Emily. Because EVERYTHING SHE EXPLAINED IS TRUE. I guess we were given a new life.)
