Emma

Violet is so emotional she has to go down, sobbing. She can barely get her words out so she sits next to Middy who puts her arm round her. So guess who has to continue?

"I didn't know who this silly TAC was," Rose says, "but RIP. The others will miss you (can't say I will) so that's something anyhow. So what's-your-name, have a nice afterlife."

*at this point, Violet casts a grey patronus in the shape of an owl*

Middy

"Hey, Violet," I say, both our faces still shining wet. "shouldn't your patronus be white? And what's with the owl?" I ask, concerned.

"I don't know.... Arrrgggg!"she yells. She collapses into my outstretched arms. "my book..page 224.." she whispers,dipping under. I lay Violet gently on the ground, and teleport over to the book in Violet's house. 224,224...224! Now what does it say....?

I am about to read the book when I see something out of the corner of my eye. Movement. I freeze, and tilt my head in that direction. A young girl stands there, she only looks around 12.

She also looks relatively human. Well, she LOOKS HUMAN but who can tell? She could be a witch for all I know.

I pop beside her, and she practically jumps 5 metres in the air!

" Sorry about the shock!" I apologise, laughing slightly. " And who are you?"

"Amethyest starlight-Have you been crying?" She asks, looking troubled.

"Just held a funeral for 2 friends...They died to young." I say, my vioce starting to break.

"Oh, I'm sorry-I didn't mean-"

"No,its fine," I say, wiping my face." I'm good"

By now everyone has gathered in a circle around us, all with tear stained faces. Such a happy bunch we must look!

"So...Amythest? What brings you here?" I ask.

Amethyst Starlight

"So urrm, what's your name?"I ask

A shiver shot up my spine. I spotted someone else slowly walking towards me.

I flew into the air, shocked as they asked my name

" Urmm,i'm Amethyst Starlight"I trembled..

"Midnight?" I said, scared.

Midnight Charm-"Are you alright?"

" Yeah, fine but what is that?"i asked , surprised.

A book was laying on the ground as though someone had dropped it.

I approach it and see it was surrounded by an eerie blue mist. I pick it up cautiously, knowing that i had not seen anything like it before and didn't know what might happen. " Ow!" I yelled , startled. It seemed as though the mysterious book had zapped me. It had!!!

Midnight Charm-"What just happened?"

" Don't pick up the book.It's dangerous!" I warned her.

Emma

"Oh, Violet has just bespelled it so no strangers can touch it. I'm Emma Rainbow by the way." I say friendly.
She screams and zaps me straight in the chest. I collapse to the ground fighting for breath.

"What was that for?" Violet demands angrily.

"The rainbows are the worst fairies in the world! They are the ones responsible for Echo, a mysterious land that I have now ended up in! All rainbow fairies end up in Echo having dragged others in with them! They don't know they do it, they are perfectly lovely but we suffer! They keep their memories while we forget, and when they go home they take us with them, so as none of us are fairies we shall be held prisoners for trespassing on fairy ground! She must die! If she dies our link to Echo shall be severed! We can go home!"

I blink, startled. I never knew my ancestors had created Echo. But I was too scared to be angry. It made sense to kill me. They could go home... but surely they wouldn't kill me? Would they? I tremble in fear

Vertia

I glance around everyone, and quietly slip behind Rose, hoping not to be noticed. But then there is an awkwardly long silence, and I clear my throat. " You can't blame Emma for being part of her family. She didn't fly down from the clouds and take a pick of her favourite Mom, did she?" I'm trying to make light of things but everyone stays long faced. " The point I'm trying to make is that it's not Emmas fault her ancestors made this hell of a place." I look apologetically at Emma. " Now, I now we've had our arguments and fights, Emma, I haven't always been nice to you. Actually, I havent always been nice to basically EVERYONE here, and im sorry. But even so, I respect Emma and she doesn't deserve such a gruesome fate. Before my parents died, I loved them more than anyone else in the world. They weren't just my parents, they were my best friends, my soulmates, my helpers, I loved them so much. But after they were killed in a car accident, I sometimes got really mad at them, and I still do. I hated them for leaving me, for deserting me so soon. Family's are just strangers who share blood. You might get on really well with them, or you might not. It's just the ways of the world that Emmas related to the creators of Echo."
