Here's the next part of Chapter 1:
Maya's eyes fluttered open again, this time to find Axel's concerned face inches from hers. He helped her sit up, and she noticed a small, leather-bound book in his hand.
"What's that?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"A journal," Axel replied. "Yours, I think. It was next to you when we found you."
Maya's mind raced as she took the journal from him. The cover was worn, the pages yellowed with age. She opened it, and a piece of paper slipped out, carrying a note in her own handwriting:
