Behind the shadows

chapter three: The voices

I couldn't go to sleep I still felt like someone was watching me all I wanted to do was leave but I knew I couldn't. My mom wouldn't believe me. She won't believe what happened. When I got out of the bed I tried to turn of the light that was on the coffee table and a paper came out and it said: "open the third wooden plank".

Maybe it was a note from the same person that wrote the journal. It did say to be careful maybe that included not letting the eyes know. I opened the third plank and inside there was another note that said: "Don't let them see you they're everywhere but they can't see things in the room, this room is protected but you are yet to be trusted.You can't know who is protecting this Serena but never do anything outside this room or you will pay the price." Why is this room protected? what does it need protection from? What are those voices that I hear? How did he know my name? I felt as if I had to get rid of the notes so I remember my mom brought a lighter and it was downstairs. I was going downstairs to get the lighter and heard a voice that said: "let me in", "let us in" said another voice. Then I started to hear tons of voices telling me to let them read the note I had in my hand. The note said they could see anything but why couldn't they see my note, maybe im different. What if everything I hold on my hand they can't see? Maybe they can see what I do but not what I have. They can't read then notes I have. I took the lighter and went to my room without letting go of the notes. I burned them and put the ashes inside the trunk.

I decided I needed to keep reading the journal maybe it will have an explanation to what are the voices. I keeped passing trough the pages till I found the part where it explain the voices

the journal:

The voices

They are not voices. They are the spirits of the people who died in the town lake Recidivist. They are black souls consumed by their inner darkness. They roam the lands to tear their victims soul out. The spirit's that roam this town are not good spirits. They call them the shadows.

After i read that i when and searched in the internet Recidivist and turns out it means lost soul. Maybe everything in this town has a hidden meaning. The town's name Surveille means someone is watching. I better get some sleep since my mom enrolled me in summer camp.
