Dear Diary, Today is my birthday. Did I really turn 15 years old? This is a very serious number. I should already be thinking about where I should go and what profession I should choose. Actually, I don't want to grow up in any way. I'm scared. But I dare not be sad on this day because my dad came to visit me. I was waiting for him very much. And guess what? He gave me the headphones I wanted. Almost everyone had them at school. My mom made me a big cake, and my brother Mark gave me a ring. A big ring. It looked weird, but it looked beautiful on my finger.

Dear Diary, I'm tired of telling everyone that I'm fine, that I'm not in any kind of heartache. This is my first birthday that I am celebrating without my brother. When I think back to the day of the accident, my heart starts beating really hard. Do I really deserve to live? Do I really have that right? Sometimes I think to myself, what if I had died with him. I miss you so much Mark.

Closing my Diary , I hid it behind a picture I'd drawn myself. God forbid my mom should see it. Covering myself with a blanket on the windowsill, I began to look at the ring my brother had given me for my 15th birthday. He said that this ring would always protect me and I should never take it off. It would be like a good luck charm for me. But my brother was right. This ring does bring good luck as I survived a car accident when the car fell into the water. The doctors said it was a miracle.

There was a knock at the door.
- Janet?
- Mom?
- Janet, I'll be home late tomorrow, so don't wait up.
- Okay, mom, how's dad? Did you talk to him?
- No, he and his wife are in New York on business.
- That's right, he told me.
- Well, go to bed. It's late.
- Yeah, I was going to. Good night.
- Good night.
Mom closed the door and went downstairs. Good night, Mark.

I went to the bed, covered myself with a warm blanket, and fell into a deep sleep. "Janet," a quiet voice whispered in my ear. I opened my eyes abruptly. Oh my god, I was lying in my pajamas in the middle of the woods. It was so cold that even when I breathed, steam came out. I was lying on the damp ground, shrouded in dry leaves. I slowly got up, not knowing if this was reality or a dream. A light wind was blowing. Scared, I started to look around my surroundings. There was dead silence. Then the fog spread, it was so thick I couldn't see anything.
-Janet! I looked in the direction of the sound. Oh, my God! There was Mark!
-Mark! -I screamed. I started running towards him, screaming his name! But suddenly there was a figure of a man behind him.
-Janet, get away!
-Mark. I'm not leaving without you!
-Janet, go away! He'll kill you!
Suddenly that figure of a man distorted, and fangs, sharper than a knife, appeared on his face, and they sank into Mark's neck. Mark screamed.
-Mark!
