two world breakers in a pod

Stockholm butterfly ~ chap 6

is any1 reading this anymore :( 

amelia was rifling through an old closet when she laid eyes on it.

it was a acoustic guitar, the wood was real, and the deepest black that Amelia had ever seen on a gutair that was shined to perfection. Judging by the dust in the case and the way it was shoved into a corner, it hadn't been touched in years.

When she pulled it out, she saw it had a red flower coming out of the corner of the bottom left corner of the body. 

when she examined it closer, she noticed that the headstock was a red so dark, it looked black to  the naked eye.

Amelia never really learned how to play gutair, there was one in her parents house, and she had figured it out a bit, but the moment her parents had realised she had taken even the slightest interest in it, they had smashed it to pieces in front of her, and rendered it unplayable 

She grabbed the case and went to go walk up to the roof

she found herself thinking about her parents, and how they weren't actually her parents, how they abducted her and her sister from her front lawn, the truth is, she had recently found out where her real parents lived,

She grabbed the case and went to go walk up to the roof

she found herself thinking about her parents, and how they weren't actually her parents, how they abducted her and her sister from her front lawn, the truth is, she had recently found out where her real parents lived, and how to contact them, but she was to scared, to scared to tell China, or skulduggery, or Valkyrie or anyone. She didn't know why, she knew the 'parents' she grew up with were already in deep shit, but this could have them end up with serious jail time, and as much as Amelia hated herself for it, she loved them, they raised her, sort of, they were the ones to tuck her into bed at night, figuratively speaking of course, most of the days they just locked her in the basement and forgot about her

Once she reached the roof, she sat down and brushed the dust off the cover and pulled the Gutair out and racked her brain for something to play, and then it came to her, she sat down and began to play (let me know if the yt thing I linked doesn't work, and I'll put it in the comments, but I rly recommend you listen to it with this chapter)

She took a deep breath and started to sing along with the gutair 

All my lessons learned unpure
A man-made coming-of-age -4
Nothing's been new since age 14
That sweet child's still inside of me

She thought of everything that was happening, how messed up the situation was
I wish that I could hold their hand
Take them home and give them a bath
I searched for you in airport lines
She wondered where her sister was, and if she was even alive

For fucks sakes, I was just a child
She was just a kid, how could she be expected to deal with all of this

Giving kisses in the morning, while I'm mourning, over my past self
Hugs and kisses while I'm dying, while I'm lying, all to my past self
You act like you never knew me, but you knew me, and you knew me well
And no doubt that was the very worst part, and it hurt, and it hurt like hell She wondered why her sister never came back like she promised she would
Stockholm syndrome takes the cake
I'll wait for you whilst you're in jail
Though I'm the one that put you there
Just tell me please, that you still care
She decided next time she saw China, she was going to tell her everything, about the fact she had a sister, how she was abducted as a kid, how she loved her like a mother

after a few moments, a voice made her jump 

"your really good at that" China said sitting down beside her

"thank you" I say slightly embarrassed "do you play"

she sighed and looked out onto the night sky

"The closest thing I had to a friend used to teach me, but then things got all messy between us and he stopped" she said and grabbed the gutair and started turning the tuning pegs

i look at her "who was he"

she looked out into the stars and started to play

(Another link cause I'm feeling nice 2day, also, imagine this with a few like mistakes 😭)

"Skulduggery pleasant, I think you know him" she said, not stopping

"I didn't know you two were friends" Amelia said

"He was the closest thing I had to one, he would call me whenever he found a book that may interest me, and teach me gutair, and in return, I would help them out in the war, double cross mevolent, and things like that" (I'll say when she stops playing the gutair XD)

"what happened between you two" Amelia asked

"People get older and fall apart" she said "I don't entirely know what specifically caused him to pull away, but he did, so here we are"

Amelia smiled as she stopped playing the sweet melody and dusted off the gutair 

China smiled aswell and walked back behind her, she  climbed down the ladder that led to back into the library "dinner in ten minutes" she said happily 

Amelia was left feeling happier than she was before.

She was also excited at the prospect of having a little sister in 6 months, she hoped that China would tell someone soon so she could share her excitement

yes I'm leaving you on a cliffhanger because I hate each and everyone of you 😘 (jkjk don't cancel me pls)

But anyways, the first song is a strawberry house session, so basically it's like mellowed down a lot from the og one, but that's like, my fav song ever and you should listen to the original aswell :) it's also js called Stockholm butterfly (this was the song that inspired Amelia's character!)
