Future Diary 2: New Survival Game

Chapter 4: The Seventh Is The Key?

A/N: Jed's POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Man, I really had a close call last week. If I hadn't had pulled that huge lie out of my ass, I would've been killed by my father and eliminated from the survival game. But thanks to my lie and my father sparing my life, I was able to figure out the weakness to his [Zombie Diary].

But I can't just confront my father yet without any proof, unfortunately for my mother and sister, I have no other choice but to eliminate my father first in this survival game before he eliminates me first. But I need to have some alone time with my mother if I want to make sure that my theory's correct about my father's [Zombie Diary].

But it won't be that easy since my family is heading toward the old retirement home. My father got a call yesterday that his mother had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital. I don't want to say this is a good thing but this situation benefits me greatly since my father will be too focused on grandma other than his [Zombie Diary]. During the time that he's distracted, I have to do everything I can to get my mother alone with me.

"Hey, Jed!" My annoying sister Kimmy called to me which brought me out of my little trance.

"Huh? What? What do you want, Kimmy?" I sighed heavily as I turned my head to look at her.

"Well, you've just been staring out the window of the car throughout this entire drive. I was just wondering if you were okay." Kimmy said while fidgeting her fingers.

"Leave your brother alone Kimmy, he seems to be really upset about grandma having a heart attack just like your father." My mother stated.

"Yeah Kimmy, I'm grieving here." I said while leaning my head against the car window and watched as the cars go by. I wasn't really sure if I was lying or not, I didn't really know much about my grandma so I'm not really sad about her having a heart attack. But then again, I'm not really happy about it either. "Hmm?" I rummaged through my pockets and pulled my [Dull Diary] out to look at the text message that I received from Cassidy Cortez.

"Hm? What's this? Jed actually got a text message from somebody? Ohhh, let me see, let me see!" Kimmy laughed as she reached for my cell phone.

"What? No way! Back off, Kimmy! Look at your own phone!" I growled while pressing my feet against her stomach, keeping her as far away from my cell phone as I could.

"I don't have my own phone! Mom won't let me have one yet! Daddy, can I have my own phone after we get back from visiting grandma?" Kim asked then I placed my hand over her mouth to keep her from whining anymore.

"….Huh? Oh…uh…sure Kimmy, you can have anything you want." My father slowly nodded then focused his attention back on driving. Everyone could tell that my father was seriously worried about grandma, this is really the first time I've ever seen him like this. I think I'll show him a little mercy for once and destroy his Future Diary another day. After a few minutes of nothing but awkward silence, I finally looked at the message that Cassidy had sent me.

"Be careful on what you do from now on, Fourth. Because if what you said about the Tenth is true, then he'll be able to know when you're planning on killing him."

"Sheesh, I don't need her to tell me to be careful. I was doing that already…oh well; I guess I should message her back to let her know that I'll be fine." I thought to myself as I began to text her back.

"I'll be alright Cassidy, there's no reason for you to worry about me. But just in case something happens, try not to do anything that'll change the future for you and cause all the other Future Diaries to go blank..." I typed in my phone then pushed the send button before closing my phone.
