The Curse of Amelia Lockwood Mrs. Knight
Amelia's POVThe sunset has always been a marvelous sight to behold. I sat outside the four walls of my hospital room and looked at the view that threatened to take my breath away. It brought back memories of when I would lie on the grass and listen to my mom talk about her youthful age to me. I miss those little conversations we used to have. Thinking about her brought a tear to my eye and I almost did not notice the pale woman walking towards me. She fell to the ground where I was sitting,looked up at me and started a conversation. "So where are you from?"From her voice,it was clear that she was critically ill. It sounded forced and tiring.I did not want to appear rude so I answered. "California.""Wow,I hear it's really sunny up there. I even heard that sometimes you guys just brust into flames." She tried to laugh at her joke but she ended up coughing instead. It won't look good on me if this woman was to faint while talking to me,so I offered to take her back to her room."Oka

Amanda's POVI went with Rebecca to her room and that was where I saw my mother. She was talking to Becky's parents. When I walked in they turned to me and Mrs. Jail was the first to speak. "I thought you went to get your mom. She has been here for a very long time and we did not see you. What happened?""Well I went to the parking lot to call her just like I said I would but on getting there,I did not see her. So I started heading back to the room hoping that she was already here and that was when I ran into this friend of mine. We talked for a while and I sort of lost track of time. I am really sorry.""Oh that's okay. Becky isn't back yet so we are just waiting for her." My mom told me. I was in a rush to get back home so that I could sneak out to go see Samantha. I knew that would be difficult if we did not get back home on time. Mom always checked up on me before she went to sleep and she did not have a particular time so it was hard to keep tabs on her when it came to that. "Mo

It was a beautiful July morning. The air was silent,the birds sang a symphony and the trees coated with soothing colurs swayed to the rhythm. While I sat down on the pavement,I saw a little girl. Despite the heat of the scorching sun,she still managed to ride her pink bike with a smile on her face ringing her bell with much enthusiasm. It was hard to not smile at her. It gave me a slither of hope that there is still happiness in the world. It went with her and my eyes darted to see my father packing our things to the front lawn. I didn't want to leave California seeing as it was the only connection I had to my mother, well that and the lovely crescent necklace she gave me before she passed on. The events that led to her passing are still as clear in my mind as if it happened yesterday. "Dad watch out!!!" I screamed as I saw a bus heading directly towards us. Dad was too occupied with shouting at my mother for not making lasagna as he wanted,to see the incoming vehicle.

A sleepless night was the best thing I had hoped for because I was still traumatized from my mother's death. It was perfectly normal for a kid my age to be worn out after witnessing her mother's death but my friend back home,Bonnie, did not agree. For some reason she was really angry when I told her that I could not stop crying. Most people didn't really understand her, unfortunately I was among them. She always kept her feelings locked in. I tried telling her that it wasn't the best way to live because when those walls are opened and the feelings start rushing out,she will be a mess. But no matter how hard I tried,she just never listened to me so I eventually had to leave her to her fate. I just hope she will have a shoulder to cry on when it happens because now, all thanks to my father, I will not be around. She did sound friendly when I told her about Derek. Oh,just the thought of him makes me smile. We did not get to talk for a long time but I truly believed that we are go
Last Updated : 2022-05-19The Curse of Amelia Lockwood Death is an Empty Feeling
The hooting of the owl could be said to have a calming effect on a troubled mind but all that seemed to calm my mind was the evening breeze which slowly erased the sting from my skin. It felt wonderful to soak in the rays of the full moon, and few minutes later,I fell asleep on the front porch. The night was traumatizing. Reoccurring scenes of the event that took place swamped my dreams. In my head the scene was replaying over and over again. I was so crippled by the nightmares that I could not wake up from it. I have always heard of the termed sleep paralysis and getting to experience it was twice as bad as all the doctors I know have explained it. After a lot of struggling I finally awoke to the meowing caused by our neighbor's cat and I lifted my half numb body off the resting chair and dragged myself inside. Looking through the doors to my father's room,I saw him lying scatterly. I hated the sight of it. I suddenly had the imagination of taking his bedside chair and bang

I forced my eyes open and blinked a few times to regain my ability to see. The environment had an ambience to it that was difficult to explain. Soothing yet alarming at the same time. It offered you peace but left you feeling dizzy. I felt strange, disoriented. I shivered at the thought of where I possibly could be but I knew I wouldn't find my answers lying on the floor. Nevertheless, my present surrounding made me feel stuck. I could see my body but somehow it felt like it wasn't me. It felt like a part of me was missing and nothing I could do would ever bring it back. It felt like I was a leaf flowing through the wind. At that point,I didn't know if it was as the result of the breeze blowing the autumn leaves smoothly around the void environment I had found myself in but I felt wonderful.I turned slightly to my left and my beautiful mother was staring at me with a smile on her face. I immediately knew that I was home and safe. I walked towards her and she engulfed me in a hug. I w
Last Updated : 2022-05-19The Curse of Amelia Lockwood Confusion
A completely normal young girl would have been totally angry and perturbed with the present situation I had found myself in, but I guess normality becomes just a phrase when you've died twice. I was a little bit fascinated with the fact that I was in another time and age. I was excited to learn about their culture. Nevertheless, a part of me was begging for an explanation. Screaming for answers from someone I wasn't sure could hear me. Just hoping that I would get what I earnestly desired but when that wasn't forthcoming, I decided to at least stay alive.I looked at the food that was placed in front of me and the sight of it was disgusting. I was sure the food would taste as bad as it looked but considering the fact that the hospital I was placed in didn't look like a "semi-prison", I wanted to give them the benefit of doubt. I glanced at the nurse who brought the food and she smiled gently at me. Her action urged me to carry the spoon and start eating. I was hugely disappointed at t

The shock I experienced was not seen on my face. It felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on my bare back. My brain was going on an overdrive and yet my body felt numb. I finally understood that you can be alive and still be dead. My life was taken away from me and a sham of a new one was handed to me. They erased me from the surface of the earth and left me with absolutely no one to pour out my emotions to. That was the worse part of this dilemma, I had absolutely no one to talk to. I had to find some trustworthy people that I can talk to or maybe they did give me a companion and all I needed to do was find her. I immediately put my mind towards finding this person.I didn't really have enough time to collect ponder on where they must have kept this person or to even hear myself think or process my feelings because Becky's parents were always walking into my room to see if I am still breathing. I couldn't blame them though. I remembered when my mother died, I wished earnestly f

Amelia's POVI left Amanda and started creeping towards the blood samples section. When I got there,I saw that the were a lot of blood samples there. I picked one of the bottle up,turned it around and that's when I saw the ID number and name written on a tag and attached to the bottle. I knew at that point that finding mine would be easy. I looked over and saw that the man was still too occupied with his work to care.I was so nervous that I may be caught to the extent that my hands were shaking and I was breathing through my mouth.I tried to silently go about my business of finding my blood sample and I didn't fail completely at it.I must have picked over a hundred bottles before I finally saw my blood sample. At first before I came here,I just wanted to hang around and maybe steal the test results that will come out of it but after seeing Amanda here,I had a totally new plan. I did not believe for one second that she just came here to see if her friend really had a urine test done.
The Curse of Amelia Lockwood The Lab
Amanda's POVAfter the information I got from my research at the library,I knew that something was definitely up with Rebecca. I just had to find out if what I was thinking was really true. And if it was,then Rebecca has got some explaining to do. The best way I had to find out if she really was another person was to first get that blood sample to undergo a DNA test. I knew a girl that could take of running the DNA test,I just needed to get the blood sample.I first needed to get out of this room. But with Rebecca staring at me like that,I knew I had my work cut out for me. She just kept looking at me. Maybe she suspected that I knew something but the is no way she could know exactly what it was. I just had to keep my suspicions to myself first. I didn't have to tell anyone about it. That way,no one will tell her anything."So Amanda,where is your mother?" Mrs. Jail asked."Oh she will be here any second now. She just wanted to find a good parking space" I answered."Well,I think I ne
The Curse of Amelia Lockwood Blood Samples
Amelia's POVI woke up to the blinding lights coming from the unprotected florescent blub in my room. I stopped the rays from entering my eyes by raising my hand to block it. I got a headache when I did that. Moving became difficult,it was as if paralysis has from no where taken full grip of my entire body. I tried calling on the nurses but I had also lost my voice for some reasons. I felt really strange,just then I saw a bunch of people coming into the room,they looked like zombies and they all had a weapon with them. Some had axe,some knifes,some cutlasses,some shovel. They all came at me with something that would definitely kill me if they wanted it to. I tried once again to get up or even shout for help but it still did not work. They were still coming at me with angry faces and a dangerous weapon. In the middle of these zombies,I saw my past self(that is Amelia) and my mother. They ran towards me and for a second I thought they were going to help me out. But my past self opened
The Curse of Amelia Lockwood Findings
While Dad was carrying me to the car,all I felt was numbness. I could not even begin to fathom what the next few days would be like. When will it start? How will it happen? Who will survive and who will not? These and many more questions were running through my mind. But the most important one that I had always tried to deviate from is "will I even help them get through this?" I was so angry at my mother for doing this to me and somehow I felt that if I actually helped this family through this crisis,that I may be supporting the decision she took and I was not in support of such absurd decision in anyway. I tried to keep calm and not think about the pain she put me through for so long. But now that I know that this is an inevitable situation that I have found myself in because of her,I could not help but freak out. As I continued to think about it,the feeling of numbness soon paved way for the drowning feeling of anger to wash over me. I was so angry at everyone and everything. Why d
The Curse of Amelia Lockwood And So It Begins
I could not feel anything apart from the gush of wind that graze through my skin as I ran. My mind was playing out a lot of scenarios,most of them were very frightening. I had to stop Amanda from getting that necklace,I just had to. I thought of how I could reach her faster and I remembered the slight technology that this generation had: a cell phone.I was almost out of breath when I drew myself to a halt. The earth was spinning rapidly round me so I took a few seconds to get my stability back. When I had calm down a bit,I reached into my pocket and luckily for me,the phone was there. I sent a call through to her resident line and no one picked it up. I then called her personal number and still,no one picked. "Fuck!" I cursed,almost throwing the phone away. I thought to myself,"well that's two minutes wasted." And I started running again. I didn't stop running till I got to the bus stop. But for some reasons,the bus was going slower than I had expected and that was the moment mom de
The Curse of Amelia Lockwood The Dream
After dad had left, I put my head down onto my pillow. Due to the fact that I had not been sleeping well for the past few weeks,I slept off immediately. I must have slipped into a dream world because I can remember vividly that my room does not have crystals lights that blinds me every time I open my eyes. I held my hands up to protect the rays from directly penetrating into my eyes. The ground I was lying on was soft and when I ran my hands through it,it turned out to be white fur. The entire environment was white,even the attire I had on was white. I finally stood up,I looked around and I saw absolutely nothing. I forced my numb legs to start moving,I had walked for some minutes and I still did not see anything. In a place that was totally white,I wondered how the sun managed to be so hot.I was sweating and really thirsty. I looked back and forth and I still didn't see anything. I decided to sit still and try to get myself to wake up. It didn't work though and when I opened my eye
The Curse of Amelia Lockwood Therapy With My Dad
I kept thinking of the girl I saw as I moved into my room. She had a look on her face,a look that I'm way too familiar with. She was sad, broken and frustrated. And I have been there before,I just wondered why she would not allow me talk to her. Maybe just be her friend. Still, who was I to judge? I lied to Sandra and I considered her my friend yet I expected this strange girl to open up to me as if we were sisters. I didn't blame the girl one bit for wanting to protect her privacy, I couldn't do anything but pray that it was not her own father that is molesting her. The feeling of helplessness washed over me. I knew that I would slip into a bottomless pit if I didn't get my mind off it. So I jumped on my bed to take a little nap. Just then dad came walking in. "Hey sweetheart, you asleep yet?" "No, was just about to. Why, what's up?" I sat up and replied. "Oh it's nothing,just wanted us to have that talk." "Come on, I just want to rest and what happened to your friend Frank?" "F
