Cabin No.2

From the moment Jaz was in her new bedroom, she sat on the bed and began reading her dead sister's diary.

It was upsetting and eerie to read the words of a dead person. Especially when she wrote about a baby that had felt like Jaz's. That Jaz had grieved for when she'd 'lost' it. Now she knew for sure the baby in the nightmare was Lora's. And for some very terrifying yet strangely comforting reason, she and Jaz had been bound together during Lora's last breaths.

She opened the diary to the last page Lora had written.

Fri, Jan 15th 2010.

I have an odd feeling. You know that feeling you get when the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end? Like something is very, very wrong? That's the best way I can describe how I feel right now.

I know I've been going through all these difficulties with Fraya

Jaz scrunched her forehead. Who's Fraya?

but I have a feeling that something bad might be about to happen.

She's always been offensive and rude towards me. Always giving me grief. But she's suddenly changed, as if she's waiting for something. Like today, she's given me the same look. It's unnerving.

All it reminds me of is the look someone gives their enemy when they have a plan brewing and it's beginning to come to fruition.

She's always been jealous of me. She's always wanted what I have. And she hates that I got it so easily when she's struggled and still hasn't succeeded. She even lost her mate. I feel for her. I felt for her more before than I do now, but after all this stress she's put me through, I can't defend her reasons anymore.

She's always wanted Nik. But he's mine.

“Nik.” Jaz frowned at the name on the lined paper. “Nik?” She'd never heard of anyone called Nik. But he had obviously been very close to Lora.

Maybe he was the father? Maria never said though...Jaz bit her lip at that realization. And this Fraya had been jealous of Lora? That made her gut turn cold.

Something was wrong about this. She knew what her fear was trying to say but she shut the thought out. “No.”

She noticed that Lora was much more mature than Jaz. She had a grown-up, eloquent way of writing. And she didn't seem to swear. Jaz felt a little embarrassed about that.

She thought about her sister's last words. But he's mine.

Lora was strong-willed, defiant and it sounded as if she spoke with absolute conviction. Jaz suddenly felt low. She wished she could feel that way about someone. And that they would feel the same for her. It made her even more upset that Lora had lost all that love so tragically.
