Chapter 1

 "Ember come down to the stairs!"
 shouted my mum, she can be a pain some times. But never the less, I trudged down stairs and sat on a seat. Yum. It was a bit of lamb with a side of mash potatoe not forgetting the cheesey sauce. Mum kept asking questions like" How's school? Met any nice boys?"And all the embarrassing things adults ask. Why do they have to interfear? After dinner I hade my dessert it was apple pie with rich creamy custard and a delicious dollop of mint coco chip ice cream. After I went up stairs. My bed. Bliss. It's all I have ever wanted. To sleep. Then there was a knock on the door! " come in." I said in came a... Big brother! I ducked under my bed and closed my eyes
" Come out pritty little girl, I know your in here." said my big brother creepily. Still I stayed quiet reached my hand out and grabbed his leg!
He insinly fell over I climbed out and ran into the bathroom and locked the door.

Chapter 2

In the bathroom I sat in the bath thinking about my brother. His name is grant he is my only brother . We aren't like this because we are brothers and sisters but because of his past. He is 21 andready has a child or two in fact they are twins me and mum said no children till he was 25 but had one when he was 19. Me and mum were not happy. That's why he has to sneak though the window. But I dispise him. He was so rude to mum. He does not have the dignity to be called Grant Sam Figs. He is disrespectful to all his family. 


Chapter 3

Long after he left I came out the bathroom. And breathed a sigh of relief. Few. Time to tell mum. I raced to the stairs hmm I could play safe and walk down the stairs or I could have fun by sliding down the banister. Let's have some fun. I placed my bottem purfectly on the right side of the stairs lifted my feet up and off I went! The breeze in my hair I could hardly open my eyes. I felt free. Then I landed I said  " landing!" I felt like a kid. So far today has been goodish the only bad thing is grant. Wait grant. Need to tell mum. I cartwheeled into the living room and shouted "Grant got in again!" mum froze, she stuttered " gg rr aa nn tt?" suddenly mum fell to the ground. 


Chapter 4
 
I called the ambulance. I started panicking. Mum was the only family member I could trust grant's out, dads in prison and the rest of the family are in Australia. It was just me and my mum. When the paramedics got here they told me some shocking news. 
" Ember, I don't know how to say this but..." said one 
"She's well..." started another 
"she's dead!" they coursed I felt like I got hit in the stumoch my mother is dead. Why did this happen to me? Have I done something wrong? Is it my fault. They said she died of shock and missed a heart beat I told them I had no one to go to and they said you have to sort it out with the council.

I looked at my watch it was 11:30 wow it was late I leaned on grant and slowly drifted to sleep. When I awoke the next morning I was in a pale green room a little white fur rug and a photo of the twins grant must of carried me here. I sat up. Eww I stank of mud I got out of bed and shouted for grant. He said the shower was all ready on for me and it was next door. I went in, shut the door and locked it. I was all ready having flash backs I hoped in the shower and rinced out the mud. Once again my hair was it's normalb blond. After I climbed out and wrapped my body and hair in 2 separate towels underlocked the door and went into my room. I got some clothes on dried my curly locks put make up on.

Mutch better. I went to see the twins. "Untie Ember" said mimi and Mike, Mike was busy playing with his toys and mimi was sat on her mums lap. Grant's soon to be wife is called Fearn, her hair is chestnut brown with green tips and all ways has a green flower printed belly top. Her eyes are clover green on her right arm is a tattoo of a tree. I was guessing she was some sort of biologist. I told Fearn what happened to mine and grants mum. If course her mouth dropped. She looked at grant then looked at me.

I smiled and nodded. My life was slowly turning into heaven.
