May 31st

Today was one of the weirdest days of my life, and I've had a lot. Another creepy thing tried to kill me. Well, whatever. At least school is over. And I'm 13. My birthday was today.

Nice present, a monster attack.


June 1st

Only when I am hanging with my friend Rachel, creepy things don't attack me. I should hang with her more often!


June 2nd

I came home from Rachel's house and mom was in tears. I raced over to her. "Mom, what happened?"

"While you were gone, a monster came and attacked the house. It didn't ruin anything, though. Then one of your friends came over to help." Suddenly, Leonel walks out of the kitchen, a glass of water in his hands.

"Your mother and I think it's time." he says.

"Time for what?"


June 3rd, 6 am

Last night I couldn't sleep at all. I stayed up all night thinking about what Leonel had meant. What was it time for?

At about 5 in the morning, mom comes into my room and tells me to get dressed. We were going somewhere.


June 3rd, 8 pm

Mom took us to our favorite place, a cabin in the woods. We always went there when she had to take me somewhere else for a long time, or tell me something important. This has to be bad news.

"Mom?" I look at her. She looks as if she were thinking about what to say to me. She turns to me, closes her eyes as a tear rolls down, and says, "Get in the car."
