I went for a walk today because I really needed to think about everything. My mind was going crazy and all I could think about was that journal. It didn't make any sense to me and I was so confused. Did Emma know about the journal? Well of course she didn't or she would have already killed me by now. You know what I just need to stop thinking overall. While I was walking I kept feeling as if I was being followed. I made it to the dark part of town and didn't realize how far I had walked. I really needed to turn around and head home. It was starting to get dark and nothing good ever happens in this part of town. While I started to turn around goose bumps covered my whole body as I saw my bag on the ground behind me. Someone was following me but who... I grabbed my bag and everything was there but the journal. I looked around and I found a note saying
"If you want your precious journal back come to the alley"
I had to get that journal back! Everything was in there, everything like my drawings and thoughts. I started heading towards the alley and when I finally made it there I was terrified. I had to walk down the darkest alley to see someone who has been following me and has my most cherished possession. I made my way down the alley and there stood Emma all in black.
Emma: Is this what you are looking for??
I stood there
Emma: There are some pretty interesting thoughts in here.
Emily: Give me my journal!
Emma: Whoo Emily you need to calm down. You wouldn't want everyone else to see it would you?
Emily: What are you talking about?
Emma: I'm saying I want you to leave and never come back!
Emily: And what if I don't?
Emma: Then all your precious thoughts and drawing will be revealed
Emily: You wouldn't dare!
Emma: Try me!! And don't you dare even think about telling anyone about this, not even Chandler.
Emily: You can't tell me what to do
Emma: Stay away from Chandler!!!!!!
I tried grabbing my journal but she pushed me down and ran off. I was on the ground in the dark alley crying. I couldn't stop crying.... What am I going to do about this? I can't show my face because I can't let that be revealed. What am I going to tell my parents. I got up and started walking in rain. I saw this shop that was in the dark part of town. Normally I wouldn't even go close to a place in the dark part of town but something was pulling me in. I walked to the door and opened and took a good look before entering. I entered the shop and it was filled with books and skulls and dead animals. I went to the front desk and rung a bell
Emily: Hello is anyone there??
A women popped up out of no where and scared the ever living shit out of me.
Madam Leona: How may I help you?
Emily: I just saw the shop and decided to take a look around
Madam Leona: Are you sure?
Emily: Yeah I think so
Madam Leona: What does she have?
Emily: Excuse me?
Madam Leona: The girl. What does she have that belongs to you
Emily: How do you know about that?
Madam Leona: I see everything and know. Madam Leona can help you with your problems
Emily: How?
Madam Leona: Follow me
I wasn't sure if I should have followed her but my feet were already moving and I was walking behind her.
Madam Leona: I know it's around here somewhere.. Ahh here it is
She took a box off a shelf and blew off some dust
Madam Leona: Here take these but make sure you read the directions very carefully
Emily: How much is this?
Madam Leona: No charge
She walked me over to the door and I stepped outside. I looked down at the box and there was some strange markings on it
Emily: But what.....
I turned around and the shop was gone.
