my mate is the lost princess

chapter 3 (meeting amila)

Ellie's pov

I'm sitting in my kitchen eating my breakfast thinking how quiet it is when my phone vibrates, wondering who that is this early in the morning. I quickly finish my breakfast and check my phone.

Mia (Amila)

hey Ellie, could you meet me this morning down by the river.

I wonder what's up with Mia. She doesn't normally text this early. so I texted her back.

me

be there in 15-20 minutes.Everything okay.

Mia (Amila)

okay, I'll meet you there.yeah, everything is fine. I just need to talk to you.

I go back in to my bedroom quickly brush my teeth and have a quick wash then go over to my wardrobe and pick out my outfit I'm just going to put something comfy on so I pick out some grey sweatpants and gray sports bra and white trainers I quickly get ready and tie my her back and start heading back down stairs I get my coat off the hanger and my keys off the side I leave and lock the door behind me I start walking to where I know Mia goes by herself sometimes when she likes to be on her own.

I'm not really an outdoors person, but I can see why Mia likes coming out here it's so peaceful and clears the mind that I walk a little bit more and spot Mia in the distance.

I say too myself I'm going to try and scare her so I slowly start walking toward her she's sitting down by the river looking in to the water watching my step as I go so I don't make a noise I keep going like this a couple of minutes when I stand on a twig that snaps oh jeez Mia starts to turn round to see what the noise was.

I jump behind a tree so she dont see me gosh that was close I think to myself after a few second I come from behind the tree and Mia is no longer sitting by the river I start to walk over to where she was sat I look around thinking where she had gone but all of a sudden she jumps from behind a tree and scares the life out of me. she starts laughing.

I shout at Amila

you scared the life outta me.your not funny. Don't do that again. I'm sensitive, you know this.

Mia just starts laughing more so I laugh we both go take a seat by the river looking in the water we can see the fish swim by its so calming we start talking about how much as changed over the last year and I mention to Mia that's she's been distant over the last couple of months that's when she said that is why I asked you to meet me here to explain and maybe show you but please I need you to have an open mind.

I say I will try and ask how she would be able to show me but she says let me explain first i might not be able to answer all the questions ypu have after i tell you as im not sure myself I say okay and she starts to explain

she says

so on the day of my 16th birthday, after having breakfast with yourself and jake, I had a funny feeling like something was going to happen but didn't know what.

I kept shaking the feeling off.

After going for lunch with my family I had the feeling again but once again shaked it off not thinking anything of it but once we got back home it was a continuous feeling so I tried to keep myself busy by reading and listening to music when it got to about 8 o'clock I started getting ready for bed brushing my teeth and getting my pj's on and I still had the feeling so I went to sit on my bed to read abit more when it got to about 11.40 pm and I was still wide awake with this feeling something was going to happen I decided to go for a walk along the trail I go outside and I start walking along the trail I had been walking about 15 minutes taking in the trees in the moonlight as it was a full moon it was 11.59 when I checked my phone the next thing I know it this horrible pain rippled through my whole body it was nothing I ever felt before this pain continues then my bones snapping I could hear them snapping and changing places this lasted about 5 minutes I was curled up in a ball on the floor the pain was unbearable when I suddenly stopped I lay on the floor a few more minutes worrying the pain would come back.

i got up and walked over to the river, wanting to splash my face with cold water, but when I looked in the water, it wasn't me looking back at myself..

Ellie

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I had all these questions but didn't know what to ask first as I wasn't sure I wanted to know. but she needs my support. I will ask if she has told her family about what she has told me..
