Peso's journal

Something strange

It was a quiet night on the octopod everyone was a sleep expect for one. Peso sat in his room looking at a journal that he brought he been sitting there for hours looking at it. In this journal was this day-to-day thoughts and feelings and he sometimes draws in it too but recently he been having lot of trouble writing in it it's not that he have nothing to write about he have lots, but this feeling was not he can't understand it he can't pin point this feeling. Was it worry, fear? he doesn't know but that the only reason why he refuse write in it started few weeks ago when these feeling started happening it was late last night, and Peso wasn't feeling tired, so he decided to write into his journal but when he opened it and about to put the pen to the paper a feeling overcame him. He stopped looking at it like something was going to jump out at him after that night he been hesitant to write in it. He didn't get this feeling when he brought the book well it was more like it gotten it for free it happened about months ago Captain had asked him dashi and kwazii to go to the surface to shop for some supplies for the octopod. They were all talking about what they should get for themselves after they finish shopping for the needed supplies when Peso spotted it a blue journal with a beautiful design on it. He stopped going into small store window looking at it his awe turn into sadness when an elderly female penguin came to the window and took the book he sighed. Thinking that some had brought it Dashi and Kwazii looked at him than Kwazii walked up to him "ya want it matey?" Kwazii asked with a raised bow peso nodded "but it looks like someone brought it" Kwazii looked at the door to see anyone was walking out no one did than he turns back to Peso "it looks like no one brought it because I don't see anyone walking out. go on and get it peso!" "yeah, I don't think the captain would not mind at all." Dashi said walking to where Peso and Kwazii was Peso hesitated but nodded walking into the store. Looking into the store it don't look like it didn't had much in it but it's a hold different story when walking into it had some much clutter in it, he could barely walk though anything, but he was no a mission to look for that journal or the old lady penguin to ask about it "well hello dear."

Peso jumped turning quickly to be face the voice it was the elderly penguin he saw removing the journal she give a weak smile " oh h-hello um I am sorry, but I was wondering if I could get that book that was in the window easier?" Peso asked shyly the elderly penguin looked at Peso her brow furrowed than it clicked "oh dear hold on a sec dearies." She turned and walked to the far side of the store "Mabel dear sister could you bring that book back down someone wants to buy it! She called Peso heard footsteps coming above him he turned to see other elderly penguin that looked the same as the one he was speaking to twins maybe. The elderly penguin named Mabel looked at her sister "someone wants the book? Who?" the first elderly penguin pointed to Peso Mabel turn to look at Peso she walked to him and handed him the book "here!" Peso took it "t-thank you..." she nodded she turn to walk away but she stopped and turned back to face Peso "this is a special book young man be sure to take care of it or you be like the others who brought it before you..." she continued her way back up the stairs. Peso looked confused what does she mean like the others? Did something bad happened to other people who brought the book? The elderly lady giggled Peso faced her worry in his eyes "oh my sister is such a kidder! She was joking dear." Peso nodded looking at the book " how much do I own you?" Peso asked taking out his wallet the elderly penguin held up her flipper peso looked at her confused " no money all I asked if you talk care of it."

Peso smiled thanking the elderly penguin and walking to the front of the store he turned back the elderly penguin waving Peso waved back exiting the store.

Now a month later and he still can't write in it! Peso was now getting frustrated it was just a book! There nothing wrong with it! Getting up walking to his desk he opened it pulling out his pen the feeling came back but it was strong Peso had to keep himself from shaking as he wrote in it. He took a long deep breath the feeling had went away from a few minute which was long shaking his head he looked at the book nothing was happening he nodded yawning getting up from the deck he walked to his bed not even bothering to close the book he got into bed and went to sleep as he slept the pages of the book slowly started to turn it self as if someone or something was reading it...

Now Peso was fully freaking out when he woke up this morning, he did his normal routine play on his xylophone, taking off his sleeping hat, doing his hair, making up his bed and getting ready for the day. he was humming to himself when his eyes landed on the book it was only for a second, but it was enough to see what was on its Peso slowly walked closer to his deck he has to be going crazy, but the writing was there as pure as day... someone or something had wrote in his book as he slept, he read the word 'I am so glad you wrote to me again. Peso I was starting to get worried... please write more today I love it when you talk about the missions you go on...' then he screamed.

"please Kwazii tell me you know who to get rid of it?!" Peso bagged Kwazii looked at Peso with an apologetic look "I am so sorry matey I don't know anything about getting rid of curse object. I never been near one. Or my grandfather he knew a guy that had a curse map that would lead a poor sailor to their deaths."

"does he ever see the guy again?" Peso said hopefully but it died when Kwazii shook his head.

"he saw again but not in one piece though he was skinned, and his body turned into that map. And my grandfather just nope out and left the damn thing there. He didn't even tell me what island he found it at."

"voy a morir!"

"you're not going to die Peso you're over reacting."

"than what should I do?!"

Kwazii shrugged "have you tried talking to it?"

"no??"

"than talk to it?" with that kwazii left leaving a distraught Peso behind

Peso was in his room taking deep breaths he was panicking a little bit okay maybe not a little bit but a lot. He decided to follow Kwazii advice and just talk to the book maybe he wouldn't die in the next five minutes! He walked over to his deck and sit down in his chair pick up his pen and wrote in it 'hello you seen to already know my name so... what is your name?' Peso pulled the pen back as he did words started showing up 'name? I really don't remember my own name, but you can give me one... if you want to?"

Peso looked at the words a name? give it a name he had no idea what to give it maybe... 'how about Adelina?' Peso waited for about a second when 'Adelina' wrote back 'oh I love that name Adelina it sounds beautiful!'

Peso sighed 'glad you like it!' Peso and Adelina talked throughout the day it really wasn't much to talk about they didn't have any mission today he talked about his friends 'can I see them? Your friends I mean...' Peso blinked than wrote 'I can draw them if you like...' 'yes please!' with that Peso started to draw his friends 'you have a lots of friends' 'yeah they're all great! I love them.' Peso looked up and didn't realized it was night time 'I have to go to bed now night Adelina!' 'oh, good night Peso see you in the morning...'

With that Peso got ready for bed when his head hit the pillow, he didn't realized how tired he was he yawned closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

The book laid opened the pages slowly turned it stopped on one page where there a portrait drawing of a bunny your hair was coving one of her eyes and she wasn't smiling.
