square in a hurry.

“James” I yelled he spotted me and ran towards me when he reached me he said between breath

“The… square…”

“Whoa, slow down there buddy, what about the square”?

“The… square…” he said again

I ran off and he followed me, when we both reached my house both of us were on on knees panting for breath, then someone opened the door, they almost stood on us, they yelled out in shock and took a couple of steps back, it was one of the council members, she looked at us kneeling there, then looked back through the doorway, then went back inside. A minute later she comes back out with my dad who said disapprovingly

“What are you two doing, get up and come inside and tell me what happened”

So we both got up, brushing ourselves down which didn’t help, we walked in and lingered by the stairs.

“Well” dad said wanting to know what we had been up to, I was about to say something but James beat me to it.

“Well I was in the square… well it’s hard to say what happened, but it’s easier to see for yourself”

“Wilf, Bradley please can you check it out”?

“Eye, Todd” Wilf said

Dad then looked at me sharply, and so I said “I was just…”
“Emily, was walking back from the…” James interrupted, so I Jabbed him hard as I could in the ribs “Ouch” he groaned loudly

Dad immediately looked at me “Give me a break, jesus christ, all you do is just…”  I sighed “Fuck this…,... I give up” I said, and I walked off, in fact I walked all the way to my tree in the hills leaving the others bemused. I climbed my tree, I had left some notches all the way up the tree for me to climb so I did, I climbed all the way to the top, which was roughly about 20 feet from the ground, I felt a lump in my through for just leaving them all there, I usually just ran to my room, where's this tree sat just on the border of the Haven just in a couple of miles there was the spakle camp

( Spakle AKA:  The Land, were, human like natives, they had pointy ears, and they were pale, they made peace with us a long time ago)

I felt something press against my chest, I felt for what it was, it was my drawing book and my pencil was in my pocket. It was dark, as I sat there on my branch, I don’t know when I fell asleep but I did, hoping I don’t fall.

I woke up to the faint sound of noise flying up from the town, they were probably getting worried now, but who am I to care I mean occasionally my friends might come up here, anyway if they did they wouldn't notice me up the top of a tree.

(Thomas) Where’s Emily?

I woke up to see that I had slept for 5 hours, I was at home in bed, wondering what to do next, when I saw a small piece of paper on my bedside table next to my photo, I sat up in my bed and reached for the paper, I opened it and began to read it, it was short, it said:

 

‘I’m sorry I didn’t write sooner, but you need a reply so I’m giving you one’ it sounded like Emily was speaking to me, so I read on ‘So I do like you and you are cute, but I’m shy to so I guess that makes two of us. You know that I have been here and that I don’t know what to write but guess what I heard Uncle Ben and dad (Todd) talking to each other and Dad said that the girl at the farm sent them to The House of Healing because there was a woman there that worked on the council ( I think it’s Alison) That’s when Uncle Ben took interest in it and said ‘“She’s got to be ok, She might have some family then we could tell them”’ But Dad said that he’d rather wait until she woke up. Anyway I will give you this to remind you that we will talk again.

Ps: Tree

love from: Emily

 

Wow, she actually wrote back to me!

I ran out of my room with the note, to my mum in the kitchen.

“Mum” I shouted as I skidded round the table and stopped in front of her, she had a smile on her face.

“Guess what read this, from ‘Guess what’ until ‘Up’” I said

As she read it her face changed from a smile to an unreadable expression.

“How would Todd and Ben know”? she said to herself but I answered the question

“There both on the Council and Emily is Todd’s daughter” I said

“Thomas, you're a genius”! mum exclaimed

“Wait, what”? I had know I dear what she was talking about

“Tomorrow we will go to there house and talk to them”

“But…”

I got no answer, so I just went back to bed.

 

I woke up once again, but this time it was morning, but as mum and me walked outside we saw guards patrolling the street and the were carrying guns! Shit this was bad.

“Right you are son” said one of the guards “Do any of you know Emily Hewitt”? he said

“Yes” I said wondering why he was asking people.

“The reason I’m asking people in because I was instructed to, now do you know where she would be”?
“At her house”

“No”

“At the river, has anyone checked there”?

“HEY, YOU TWO, GET 4 OF YOU TO CHECK THE RIVER”

“Sir, no sir, We’ve already checked there and found nothing” said one sholder nearby

He looked at me “Ok, ok, cool it, she might be in one place but it’s unlikely, but then again…”

“Spit it out kid” he growled

“She might be on the border, a mile or so from the Spakle camp… underneath a tree, knowing her that’s were she would be” I said finally

“MEN, STOP! FOLLOW ME I’VE GO THE LOCATION” he screamed at the top of his lungs

All of the shoulder did stop and did follow him towards the border.

 

When we finally reached Emily’s house, James was out the front and the rest were inside, he was glad to see me, but he had a worried look on his face.

Todd spotted me and mum looking around, when he caught sight of us he clearly walked over but it was clear something was bothering him.

“Hello, Thomas” he said altho when he spoke his voice was filled with sharpness

“I’m, nice to see you again” I said strongly

“You to, um… you live up the street don’t you”? he asked unsure

“Uh...yeah, why”?

“Did any soldiers pass by?”?

“Yep and they went”

“Where to”?

“Well...I kinda told them where she might be”

“Yes…” he said kinda pushing me to go on, everyone else was staring at me in anticipation

“Well… she usually… goes to… Well there's this tree one or two miles away from the… Spakle camp” I said, barely audible but Viola and Todd had heard me.

Todd cursed and then looked at me, I gave him a questioning look, which he nodded towards Ben. 

(Emily) Men

I woke up to noise and voices, they were strange but strangely sounded familiar, then I realized, course they did, they were the old soldiers from the Spakle war 9 years ago. I slunk back into the shadows hoping they wouldn't see me, they didn’t they shouted stuff like:

“Emily, are you there”? and

“Emily you are need” and

“EMILY” that voice was concerned about what will happen if they got home empty handed

 

I just hid up in the tree until they went, when they did I stayed up there until I heard a familiar Noise, Thomas’s, I winced like he knew where I was, correct he did, he practically knew everything about me.

“Not everything” he whispered

I winced as I watched him, he scaled the tree with one leap, grabbing on to a strong branch and pulling himself up, Wow he’s strong I thought to myself.

“Wow thanks” he said, which shocked me so much so I almost fell out of the tree.

“Shit” I swore, newing that they had heard me, me and Thomas stood facing each other, staring into each others eyes after a while he said

“Come on, I’ll help you down from here”

“No, I’m fine, watch this” I said

I grabbed the branch I was standing on and slid my feet off the branch. I  sung for a second and let go, did a kind of backflip and landed on the ground on my feet and one hand resting on the ground, I straightened myself and brushed myself down. Thomas landed on the ground next to me, his feet landing softly on the ground. I took a step back when I saw Mum, dad, Wilf, Thomas’s mum and Uncle Ben, nobody was paying any attention that there was a Spakle lurking behind the trees. I spun around and was scared to see a Spakle standing next to a tree and was even more shocked to hear my dad speak bitterly to it, on the other hand mum spoke kindly to it.

“Hello, sky” said mum cheerfully

“Hi, I’m expecting you all to be well”? enquired the spakle

Dad was glaring at him “Hello, nice to see you” he said sharply gritting his teeth

the Spakle winced and shrank back into the trees, Mum gave dad a sharp look which said Don’t be mean, that was a long time ago, let it go I had no idea what that meant. Mum beckoned the spakle forward, it hesitated, after a moment it walked forwards. I noticed the spakle had the same band on his arm as mum but it read 1710, I thought that strange and made a mental note to find out more.

“Sorry,... the sky never meant to…” 1710 studded

“It’s ok, you didn’t know” dad said softly I was shocked that he used that tone because if you knew him he had never spoken like that ever, it scared me to the bone.
