Future Diary 2: New Survival Game

Chapter 9: Defeat and Victory

A/N: Jed's POV

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

"Are you sure that this plan of yours will work, Fourth? We still do not have any idea on how Ninth's [Copy Diary] works." Cassy stated as she stood alongside my friends and I about two houses away from my house.

"And are you sure that you don't want us to come inside the house with you? Your [Dull Diary] predicted that you would be killed by Kathleen at 5:30! It's 3:55 right now!" Karissa stated as she showed me the time on her wrist watch.

"Relax you guys, remember, the 'Dead End' is just merely a prediction. It doesn't mean it'll come true...and besides, I don't want you guys getting involved in this now that we've encountered the Ninth." I said while a small smile appeared on my face.

"Do you really expect us to sit here and wait while you're in there with a psychopath like her?" Mav asked.

"You guys are worrying about this situation way too much." Everyone turned around and looked at Paul who was nonchalantly typing on his cell phone. "Just look at the odds here. The Ninth is going against three Future Diary Holders at once! The chances of her survival are very slim!" Paul grinned.

"Okay...it's about time for me to get inside my house now and confront the Ninth." I let out a heavy sigh as I pulled out my [Dull Diary] from my pocket and read its contents.

"What's wrong, Jed? What is your [Dull Diary] predicting?" Mav asked as he walked over towards me then looked over my shoulder to see the entries in my [Dull Diary].

"...Just stuff the Ninth is planning on doing. It's nothing that we can't handle...that is...if everything goes according to my plan." I nervously laughed as I flipped my cell phone closed and started walking towards my house. Once I had finally reached the front door to my house, I stared at the door knob and started to think about what I was getting myself into.

Was I really going to defeat the Ninth's [Copy Diary] with my [Dull Diary], my father's [Zombie Diary], and Cassy's [Blank Diary]? Many more questions were running through my head, but I couldn't allow myself to get distracted by a little doubt. I swallowed away my fear and opened the door to my house and walked inside.

"Huh? Oh, there you are, Jed." My mother smiled as she turned around to face me with a basket of clothes in her hands. "I was beginning to wonder what was taking you so long to get here."

"Sorry that I was a little late mom. My friends and I were having an interesting conversation about a few things." I stated while looking around the house. "Hey mom, where are Kimmy and Kathleen

"Kimmy and her new friend are in the living room talking to Grandma Suvi and your father. You should go head in there and join in on their conversation as well. After I'm done washing these clothes, I'm going to go start fixing everyone some dinner." My mother said before she turned around and started walking up the stairs to the laundry room.

"Sorry mom, as much as I would like to eat some of your cooking tonight. I'm afraid that it's going to get the guys killed." I sighed as I flipped open my cell phone and read the newest entry once I heard a static noise. "What? I didn't do anything to change the future yet. Did the Ninth do something?" I muttered as I read the newest entry.

"[2/7/30XX] 4:10 P.M. (My House; Living Room) Family members suddenly collapse after eating some food. The food was poisoned by the Ninth, man, what a dull way to be poisoned."

"What the hell? They've been poisoned? How was Kathleen able to poison them?" I muttered to myself as I quickly turned my head to the right and looked at the time on the clock. It was 4:05 P.M., which means that they've already been poisoned by the Ninth. "Damn it, she made her move much faster than I had anticipated. I have to change the future quickly!" I let out a heavy sigh before I walked into the living room.
