Creepy

[Madeline Speare]

Gently pushing open the door I stepped into the shrieking shack, the floor boards creaking underneath me. Slipping my gloved hands into my pockets I make my way to the middle of the floor. I sit down on the dusty floor, brushing a loose strand of hair out of my face. It'd been a while since I'd been up here, and it was still just as creepy. It was creepy, but in a peaceful. I think for a moment of how something could be creepy and peaceful but just shake my head, thinking I was just being silly.
Probably 'cos of these. I remind myself, pulling the bottle of anti-depressants from my pocket. I sigh, but stop hearing the floor creak behind me and the door squeak. Okay, I take it back. Not peaceful, creepy. Most definitely creepy. I crane my head back, it was just the wind. Wind can't hurt you, I remind myself, slipping the pill bottle into my pocket.
I lean back slightly, looking around. Dusty. That's all it was.
Dusty, old and creepy. Great combination

"Fucking cold..." Amiee mutters to herself walk up to the Shrieking Shack. She had a hand on both sides of the wall, feeling her way up.
As she went to take another step she slid down slightly, banging her knee softly. "That's not a step..." She mutters and tries it again.
You're dumb for coming out here. You don't know anything about around here.
"Shut up..." She mumbles to her conscience aloud without thinking.

[Madeline Speare]

I whirl around, hearing something again. This time it wasn't the wind. I was sure of that much. Sounded like a voice. I slip my hand into my pocket, fingers curling round my wand."Hello?" I call out uncertainly.

[Amiee Parker]

Amiee jumps slightly and misses another step. "Ow..." She mutters. "Hello?" She echo's back.

[Madeline Speare]

I peer through the darkness, the girl looked oddly familar. "Amiee?" I call, slipping my wand back into my pocket. It was Amiee. Kaleb, Chase, Rory and Perry's cousin. I walk towards her, putting my hand on her arms,"It's me, Maddie. Kaleb's cousin?"

[Amiee Parker]

Amiee jumps slightly again, not expecting Maddie to grab her arm. She smiles weakly. "Hey Maddie..." She says. "But honestly, saying Kalebs cousin. That doesn't do much." She smiles, just joking around slightly.

[Madeline Speare]

I force a small smile, helping her stand upright,"Yeah, sorry. Forgot there's a bunch of us."
Not anymore, you went from 17, to 14 to 11. Numbers are shrinking there MJ.

[Amiee Parker]

She smiles, "You still the same after all these years?" Amiee asks after a short pause.

[Madeline Speare]

"Uh no, not really." I say, taking her hand, putting it on my large stomach,"Well at least now Nate and Kaleb can't whine about how skinny I am."

[Amiee Parker]

She forces a smile as Amiee relizes that Maddie is pregnant.
You're not. You can't be.
"That's great Maddie." She says. "You know that they both worry to mach."

[Madeline Speare]

"Yeah, great." I mutter, voice lacking enthusiasm. "Yeah, I know they worry, they're my cousins. It's their job."

[Amiee Parker]

Amiee nodded. "Yeah..Kaleb already doesn't like Kaloris. My boyfriend." She says with a soft, forced chuckle.
"Hey Maddie..Where am I?"

[Madeline Speare]

"Yeah, didn't like mine either." I chuckle weakly,"You wander around and you have no clue where you are, shame." I tease."Shrieking Shack."

[Amiee Parker]

"Has he met yours?" Amiee asks with a soft chuckle. "Yes, it's one of my favorite things to do." She says trying to keep a straight face, for it to only be ruined by a look of confusion. "Shrieking Shack?" She asks. "How the hell did I end up here?" She asks herself. "I was aiming for Honeydukes." She chuckles softly. "Knew it was a bit quite and cold for Honeydukes."

[Madeline Speare]

"Yeah. Half the family's met mine. And half of them aren't very fond of him." I mutter, then laughs weakly,"Yeah, sorry hun. Way off."

[Amiee Parker]

"I'm sorry. If I ever met him, I'll try and help with the like-Maddie's-boyfriend-half thing, if you'd like" She says with a weak smile. "I'll get it one of these days..." Amiee chuckles softly.
"Maddie, how far along are you?" She asks her, "Not to sound cruel or mean anything by it, you feel kinda big," She says with a soft chuckle. "But is it hard? Being pregnant I mean."

[Madeline Speare]

"Oh trust me, doubt you'll meet him..." I stop, not sure how I was suppose to explain it. Cos he'll probably be dead? cos he's running? Cos I'm running. I pause, thinking how much longer I actually would be pregnant, I had stopped keeping track a while back."Bout four months left, and I feel big 'cos I'm having twins." I force a weak smile,"Yeah. Not going to lie to you Amiee, being pregnant's hard."

[Amiee Parker]

Amiee doesn't push to ask why she wouldnt met him. Wasn't going to ask. Yet.
"Wow..Twins?" She chuckles softly. "Two little Mini yous...How will we surivie?" Amiee says at her half hearted attempt at a joke.
"So it's hard...That's just great..." She mutters with sarcasm. "Went to Mungo's today. The whole small percent of my sight coming back. well it's gone up. Bout a fifty percent chance." She says with a weak smile. "The curse that put me this way is finally wearing off..." She says with a soft chuckle.
Now for the bad part...
"Then they told me something else..." She mutters. Amiee needed to talk to anyone, and at the moment Maddie was the only person she trusted enough, and was a girl.

[Madeline Speare]

"Yeah, it's that damn Speare's gene." I say, laughing slightly as an attempt to pass it off as a joke. That gene was really starting to get on my nerves in all reality."Nah, two little mini-him's. Twin boys. Alex and Aaron."
I smile weakly, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear,"Your sight's coming back? That's great Amiee, really is." I stop, looking at her for a moment, waiting for her to go on."Your pregnant, aren't you Amis?"

[Amiee Parker]

"Aaron and Alex? Those are wonderful names." Amiee smiles. "Yep. Said that if things keep going the way it is now, should be back within the year." She smiles. "Three years is to long..To Long to be in darkness." She says
Amiee sighs and nods her head. "Yep." She says almost bitterly. "They thought I should have a little check up and then teh damn healer takes me back to his off saying 'Miss Parker, can I have a moment?' Hate it when they take me to the office." She mutters. "It's almost as if they're saying 'We've got some bad news and don't want you to make a scene'..."

[Madeline Speare]

"Thanks, took us a while to come up with them." I say, smiling without meaning to. "Don't know how you dealt with it, really brave of you Amiee." I say, putting a reasuring hand on her shoulder,"Yeah. I could kind of tell, your starting to show, even if it's just a little bit. I'm a Healer so I know what to look for." I wince at her description,"We don't mean to do that, it's just..well yeah. Guess that's what we basically mean."

[Amiee Parker]

"I can take anything. I can deal with almost anything, but those stairs. Hell on earth." She says with a bitter chuckle. "I'm already starting to show?" She groans. "Yes well you healers know how to creep someone out." She says, just to tease Maddie.
"But how am I supposed to tell Kaloris?" She sighs, "It was supposed to be a one night stand thing. Then we liked each other, we went on a date around Hogsmead." She says with a small smile at the memory. "And I'm pretty sure that I'm the first girl he's ever had a real relationship with." She rants softly, "I don't want to screw this up...I really like him."

[Madeline Speare]

"I'll bet, not too fond of stairs myself," I chuckle weakly,"I don't know what to tell you hun. Your boned either way. Is he gonna stay with you when you have the kids? You've got options you know."

[Amiee Parker]

She shook her head. "I haven't told him. I don't know." She mutters "What options Maddie? I can't abort it. I'll hate myself. I don't want to do adoption. What happens when the kid gets older and wonders why I gave it up? I don't want to do that to any kid. And I won't be able to stand it if I go through the rest of my life and maybe have planned kids, wonder what would happen if I had the one more." She sighs. "I can't do that."

[Madeline Speare]

"You need to tell him," I say,"Don't wait, it'll get harder to tell him that way."
I bite my lip, she had a point, I was starting to rethink the whole adoption thing now.
"Well it's not fair to either of you to keep it if you can't take care of it. I mean, look at me Aims, 17 with twins. And you know I'm not a kid person, adoption might be the whole option I've got."

[Amiee Parker]

"But I'm afraid to tell him..." She mutters.
"Maddie, you know that you have people who will help you. You know I would. You know Kaleb and Chase would. You have people that would help you."

[Madeline Speare]

"How do you think I was? I was bloody terrified." I laugh weakly,"Sure you'll be there, but at the end of the day it's me and twins."

[Amiee Parker]

"Well, Maddie. I know that if you do give them up, you'll regret it."

[Madeline Speare]

"How can I regret something I never even wanted?"

[Amiee Parker]

"Because, even if you didn't want it Maddie, it's still apart of you." Amiee says, "I didn't want this baby, but there's no way in hell I'm giving him up. I'm not going to risk that it get shuffled from home to home, or go to a bad home, or even grow up feeling unwanted because of my mistakes."
