CHAPTER SIX: THE VERY DEEP PIT
Hamilton opened his eyes. He was unconscious because Uncle Hamilton hit him in the face with a frying pan. "Why is it so dark in here?" said Hamilton. He looked up. Then he
realised he was in a deep, dark pit! "Oh no..." said Hamilton nervously. There was no way out. "HELP!!!" he yelled. Uncle Hamilton, Hardis, Heila, Mrs Higgyfiggle and Mrs Hamilton were all looking down the pit. "Hello, down there!" said Hardis happily, finally getting rid of his brother. "Oh no..." said Mrs Higgyfiggle, looking down.
"You need to get out of there." said Uncle Hamilton. Hamilton growled at Uncle Hamilton because he hit him into the pit. "There's a flood coming..." said Heila, looking at her phone." IN ONE MINUTE! " she said nervously. Then it started raining. Mrs Higgyfiggle took out her umbrella, and everyone got under it. "What about me?" said Hamilton looking at Mrs Higgyfiggle. "Whatever..." said Mrs Higgyfiggle. The deep pit started filling with water. "Oi! Get away!" Hamilton shouted at the water, jumping up on a rock, but it was no use. The water reached his feet. "Ahh!" he shouted, jumping up and down, trying to avoid the water. "I hate water!" he said, looking down.
---5 MINUTES LATER---
Now, the water was halfway up Hamilton's body. Hamilton was moaning and groaning, STILL trying to jump out. Hardis was smiling. Mrs Hamilton was on her phone. Heila was walking around under her umbrella, Uncle Hamilton was listening to music and Mrs Higgyfiggle was watering her plants (IN the rain?) "Help!" Hamilton shouted, but everyone ignored him.
---5 more minutes later---
The water was now so high, his head was only sticking out. "I'm going to DIE!!!" said Hamilton, looking up, pleading for help, but NOBODY cared. Hamilton could not even swim.
"Well..." thought Hamilton sadly, "If I'm going to die, then I better say sorry to everyone about all the things I did to them..." Mrs Hamilton looked down...then ran off. "Hardis..." said Hamilton, and Hardis looked down. "I'm sorry for writing an F- on your report..." he said, and Hardis looked startled. "You did that?" said Hardis, his eyes wide. "Yes..." said Hamilton, ashamed, but wanting to burst out laughing.

"Uncle Hamilton..." said Hamilton, and Uncle Hamilton
looked down. "I'm sorry for cutting the wires in your headphones and stealing your pants" said Hamilton. The water rose higher. "Really? There is no music?" he said,
confused. Everyone looked at Uncle Hamilton.
"Ummmmm..." said Heila. "Anyways..." said Hamilton awkwardly, looking at Uncle Hamilton. "Heila..." Hamilton continued. Heila looked down. She thought Hamilton would not say her name. "Yes?" said Heila confused. "Sorry for throwing your makeup and your best dress into the fire." said Hamilton.
"Whaaaa---" said Heila, "I thought Harper did that." she said. "OK never mind Harper did that." lied Hamilton. "Mrs Higgyfiggle..." said Hamilton. Mrs Higgyfiggle came back from watering her plants (in the rain?) "I'm sorry for using the pancake mower 2000 to mow all your flowers..." said Hamilton. "What?" said Mrs Higgyfiggle, picking up her stick. "NO!" said everyone, holding back Mrs Higgyfiggle. She wanted to jump in and beat up Hamilton. The rain came down harder.
"Hermione, I’m sorry for---" but Hamilton was cut out, as he sunk into the water and started drowning. "NO!!!" shouted everyone. "WE FORGIVE YOU, HARRY!" they all said.
Mrs Hamilton came running back, carrying lifesavers. Hamilton was now no longer visible. They all grabbed a lifesaver, put them on and jumped into the water. When they landed, Hardis (who was the only one who could sort-of-swim) threw off his lifesaver and swam down. Everyone was waiting in anxiety. Then, Hardis emerged out of the water, carrying an unconscious Hamilton. Mrs Hamilton, who was the only one who did not jump in, lowered down a rope. Everyone grabbed on and Mrs Hamilton reeled in the rope. When they got to the top, they lowered down Hamilton on the ground. They all surrounded him and waited in silence. Then Hamilton opened his eyes, coughing out water. He got up and saw everyone. "Why did you save me?" said Hamilton. "I thought you didn't like me." he asked. "We saved you because you apologised." said Heila. Everyone nodded in agreement, except Hardis. “I didn’t really WANT to save you…” he said. They all growled at him. “Fine…” he said angrily. "Hey..." said Uncle Hamilton, confused. "Where's Harper?" Then Mrs Higgyfiggle started hitting Hamilton with her stick.
