chapter 5. a diary titled Daricut...

My day flew by, quickly. Than I found my self sitting next to Aleene. She looked spectacular, I hadn't really noticed what she was wearing a leather skin tight out fit. My mouth went dry. She was gorgeous, a model. Well now that I thought about it I never really did notice what she was wearing, because I was always captivated by her face.

She was amazing, I thought when she walked and sat down next me smiling. "Hello, Jericho. How was your day?"

"My day? Well it was okay, busy as usual." I said looking at her wonderfully colored eyes.

She nodded, "That's good." she said than laughed. " Well,time just seems to fly every time we talk, look, here's your house." She grinned. I looked around, well, loe and behold. There was my house. She looked at me and smiled. "Good bye, Jericho, see you."

"Bye." I said, and got up and started walking off the bus with Alaura following behind.

* THREE HOURS LATER*

As the bus pulled away, Alaura said."so, you like that girl huh?"

I just looked at Alaura. She continued,"What? She Is pretty."

"No, Alaura, we are just freinds " I said ending the subject.

"Okay, then." She said pulling the okay into two words. When we got into the house Mom was busy making dinner.

"Hello guys. Be ready for dinner, It'll be ready in a couple minutes." She said bending down to open the oven, the smell of pizza wafted out. I said okay ran up stairs, to the attic, making sure, Alaura wasn't following.

In the attic I was searching for a book, something I wasn't sure, but I guess it was a diary. I searched for a couple minutes but couln't find it. Than I heard my mom call my name, I jumped up and yelled through the door way."Coming!"

I was just getting up when I slipped on a box. I got up grumbling, till I saw what fell out... a book of some sort,NO! A diary! I looked closer, in fancy gold writing was the tille DARICUT. The diary was a blood red leather and the title, beautiful gold. I grabbed the diary and ran out of the attic shutting the door behind me. I quickly ran to my bedroom shoving the diary in my top dresser drawer and running to the bathroom to wash my hands.

I quickly walked down stairs and sat down to eat. I must have had a smile on my face, for my mom asked, "Why are you so smiley?"

"Jer' has a girl freind." Alaura said in a sing song voice. In which ended with both of them laughing. I whipped my head around to Alaura and glared at her with all I had. It must have been pretty bad cecause they both shut up.

"I-I'll get the pizza" , My mom said quickly.

I woke up from a bird tapping on my window. As soon as I got up the bird stoppedand flew away. So I dedided it was nothing, and crawled into bed. As soon as I was about to fall asleep I heard a screech. An ear peirching screech. I jumped up covering my ears. The raven (I could now see from the way the moon was shining on it) was using its talon to scratch my window. I stared at it and it...stared back. It looked at me like it wanted to say something.

Than something out of the ordinary happened...I could hear what it was saying.

"Go to the dresser. Get the book. Read it." It seemed to say short swaki sentences. So I said the first thing I could think of."Umm...okay?"(I know not the first thing someone in my predicament would say...but I was confused.)

It stared at me till I got out of bed, shirtless and wearing my plaid pajama pants, and walked over to my top drawer, and pulled it out. I had to cover my eyes, becaues as I opened my drawer a light bursed out it. Like a bulb,was turned on but way,way brighter. And I felt a tugging sensation.I was being pulled somewhere....
