It's Just a Diary, Right?

Chapter Five: April 25th, 2015

This day was a weird day, a day that many don't believe me on. I can't fully explain what I saw nor can I even make sense of it myself. To be completely honest it still freaks me out to this day but here's the diary entry.

"Dear Diary,

Heyyyy. So let us start this off by saying that today has been very abnormal or weird as some might say. I found these bones today, I swear 99% of them looked like they had once been rib cage bones with a few odd ones here and there. I can't quite tell what animal it is but I can tell though that it's fresh. It was bigger than I was!

The bones are not pure white as if they had been fully cleaned. It was quite the opposite. Sure here and there the bone was as clean as can be. But a lot of it was covered in bright red blood with flesh and meat hanging here or there. The blood clearly was not sitting there long because it was not dark nor dry. 

When I got done looking at the mutilated bones that laid there fresh, baking in the sun, I stepped to the side to continue exploring. Not too far away there was a ditch that I had to climb over. It was too big to jump but too big to walkthrough. So I did what anyone else would! I looked around to find a branch or log that could support me. Just to my advantage, behind an old shed there laid two old fence posts, like one of those big privacy ones! So I carefully picked both up and stacked them on top of each other - careful to not get a splinter cause ow. I dragged the two posts towards the ditch and stood them up - positioning them so I could just let them fall across the ditch. To my surprise, my plan worked. I cheered silently and tested with one foot if it could truly hold me up before I try to make my way across. When I knew it was safe I steadily started to walk but ended up looking down. God hights get to me! As I was looking down a noticed a pink-ish red-ish blob just laying on the ground. Of course, me being me, I got curious and grabbed a twig near me to try and clean the thing off in the ditch. Sadly it took me a minute to finally realize what it was. I stood there in shock with a hint of fear - it was a brain. It didn't look like a human brain - no - it was too small. So what was it? Some animal? Must have come from the same thing that those bones back there did.

What made this even worse was the fact that this was a new area that I haven't explored, far past the abandoned house and certainly where I shouldn't be allowed. If I ever shared this would anyone even believe me? I'm sure I sound absolutely crazy right now... but it's all true. Should I record it? I honestly don't know... I feel so alone in this.

Heh, guess I should continue on.

I quickly snapped myself out of my thoughts and continued on with my exploration. Not long after I saw a rock go flying by my head. Zooming at what seemed to be the speed of light basically. I looked up to where the rock had to of come from but sadly, I couldn't see a thing. All the trees had thick leaves covering the tops.

"Leave..." I thought I heard but shrugged off. Probably just my imagination, right? Well not even long after I was proven wrong...

"Get out!" Sounded a disorientated voice. I shook slightly with fear and as I was turning around to leave here came scissors. One pair to be exact, bright hot pink. They got stuck in the tree right next to my face. My eyes widened, not even taking the chance to look back, I grabbed the scissors and ran for it. Why take the scissors? Because it's proof, kind of. Not like many or anyone for that matter would believe me, probably. 

Soon I made my way home, taking a deep breath and letting out a sigh of relief I twisted my door nob to my room. Huh, it didn't was to open. I turned the nob and pushed it a little harder - continuing that pattern till finally - it opened. What I saw shocked me. 

"Oh no..." I let out in a shaky breath. I thought this was over since stuff just happened outside but nope. How wrong was I. Plastered all over my room were blank sheets of paper, some written with symbols and others with the words 'come play with me'. They were done in red and black marker to the looks of it. Or at least I hopped... Carefully, one by one, I pulled each one down and stacked them into a neat pile whispering 'no... no... please no...' over and over again. Slowly but surely after each paper was put together I took them outside the burn pit and set them on fire - an uneasy feeling then washed over me and I looked into my forest. For a second I thought I saw a few people staring back but when I blinked they were gone. 

That's when my parents got home and seemed madder than usual. But that's a story for a different time...

After the fire burned out and I knew all the papers had been destroyed I made my way back into my room, sure to grab my electronics. To my surprise when I tried to use them after getting comfy in bed they glitched out real bad and more symbols started to show...

"What the hell?" I whispered. "What's going on today...?"

Well diary, I'm terribly sorry to say but our time has to be cut short today, it's already late as it is. Clearly, there is something going around here and for some reason, I want to solve it.

Sincerely,

Zoie"

As I said before, not much I can say nor much that people believe but that's what happened and I remember it like the back of my hand... Honestly, it still sends shivers down my spine. I'm sure if I looked though, I would still have those hot pink scissors. Also, I'm sure with a little bit of research I could find those symbols and draw them for examples of what I saw and what they mean.
