Dear Diary,

Aunt Grace will be staying over today again! Yay! Mom and dad are going out for work, I watch them go into the car and drive off. Aunt Grace and I have been playing board games, but every time I bring Mr Midnight close to her, she tells me to keep it away. Does Aunt Grace hate Mr Midnight? Me and Aunt Grace continue playing Snakes And Ladders until Mr Midnight pushes the entire board game onto the floor. Aunt Grace yells at the cat and smacks it onto the floor. Mr Midnight is injured, his right paw is twitching badly. I run away from Aunt Grace and into my room. I could hear her yelling for me to come back faintly but I don't turn around.
-11:45a.m.-
I can hear the sizzling of the frying pan. I smell the strong scent of eggs. Scrambled eggs maybe. I have Mr Midnight in my arms, his right paw has been bandaged by me. I place him down on my bed and play with my dolls. Mr Midnight sounds angry and scratches the window. My friend Alice from school tells me that her cat always scratches the window so it is normal, I continue playing.
-12:00p.m.-
Mr Midnight is hissing and banging at the window now. I stood up annoyed by all of the noise that he is making. I step on a stool and I am able to slightly see what Mr Midnight is angry about. I see a horned creature with a terrible smile. I can hear him say, "Fran Bow, you are invited to the house of madness, once you turn twelve, all will be gone before you. Your cat shall be lost while two dies." he fades away. I pick up Mr Midnight and run to Aunt Grace. "Aunt Grace! I saw a monster outside my window! Kitty saw it too! It was black with horns and it had a terrible smile! It looked like it was going to hurt me." Aunt Grace shook her head lightly and said,"Do not make things up Fran. There is no such thing as monsters or demons or ghosts. Now hurry up to the dining table, breakfast is ready." I am not crazy. I have to make her believe me. She has to believe me, what I saw was real and kitty saw it too.
-8:00p.m.-
Aunt Grace has gotten angry with me and locked me inside my room. She keeps saying monsters aren't real. But how did I see one then? Mr Midnight jumps on my lap and purrs softly, falling asleep. I stroke his fur as I turn on the TV. Mom and dad will come home soon and then they will believe me.
-9:10p.m.-
Mom and dad are just like Aunt Grace. They said I am imagining things. They think i'm crazy. They tell me to go to sleep, they are worried about me. I do not like the monster. He made them think I am crazy =(

Goodnight Diary, Fran Bow.
