The Arcane Theory

Chapter 1 - Patrick

I know I'm starting this journal a little late into my summer trip, but better late than never. I'll be recording the events of my summer while I stay at my grandparent's house with my sister Riley and my cousin Jack. Man, I do not trust that kid. His parents died in a fire a few years back and it was one of those things were we sent flowers and cards to "Show pity" even though my sister and I had never met him. I'm a 13 year old male with brown hair, brown eyes, glasses and is of standard height for a boy my age. I know that seems oddly specific but I want the police to know who to look for if Jack ever murders me in my sleep.

My grandparents house was pretty nice. It was placed upon a lake with a dock extending from the backyard into the crystal clear waters. Their house was pretty old but they had done some renovations to make it look a litter cleaner and they had a huge library. If I wasn't in town hanging out with some of the new kids I met I was in the library, with a book. My sister was mostly hanging out with Jack, don't mind me if I talk about her a lot in my monologues, I'm a bit protective since she's 2 years younger and thinks that she is as old as me.

Oh shit, Jack just walked past my room and ran into the library. I do not need him finding this journal and reading this. He acted pretty strange heading in to the library though. I think I'm going to go find out.
