The Diary

04. The Beginning

The next few days were spent hanging out with her friends at home and going out to have fun; never had she been so tired by the end of it all. She had laughed like never before, all thanks to her friends, more like family by now. And talking about family, her mother left right away the next day, saying she had to take care if Nyx's dad, who wasn't allowed out of the house due to the fact that he had fallen down the staircases back home and had injured his left arm and leg... So, he couldn't really do anything without help.

Having this type of fun were one of Nyx's favourite moments, as she could completely forget about the world outside, and focus on whatever she wanted to. Like, all her mind could think about at the moment was how much fun she was having. In fact, they were all having so much none of them realised that their mothers, except for Nyx's, were calling them like crazies. They had forgotten to tell them they would be spending some days at Nyx's. Therefore, their mothers hadn't heard from them since last Tuesday, four days ago. You can't blame them for being all over the place and crazy. Everyone, at some point, answered their phone and talked to their mothers, trying to calm them down and made peace once again.

While everyone was on the phone, Nyx decided to let them be on "their own", at least just the ones that were being told off. She felt she didn't belong there; she wasn't able to empathise with the others and she thought it would be the best if everyone went through the reprimand on their own way... She thought that was a smart move, you know, nobody wanted to have their friends around if you were being reprimanded, not even your "brothers or sisters."

With her new mindset, she decided she wanted to go exploring the forest that was near her house -perks of living in a country full of vegetation. She had a little garden that connected the forest through a little wooden door, full of scratches due to all the years it stood there, guarding the house from the other side of the forest. Nyx had never ventured past it, never felt the need to. However, she felt it now. She was dying for some action in her life, not that she was complaining, she truly lived a blessed life, but sometimes she found herself daydreaming about living another life. She couldn't find it in her that she wasn't able to spare her mind of those thoughts and she ended up not only daydreaming about it, but also having nightmares. Therefore, she had decided she would step up her game and she will completely enter the forest. She wasn't afraid she was going to be alone, she thought of it as an opportunity to release everything that was clouding her mind lately, from her stressing university student life to her social life, not forgetting her sometimes messed up mind, due to all the bullying she had to suffer from an early age.

She had her mind made up, and no one could actually stop her when it came to these decisions, she was as stubborn as a mule.

Your writer has come back... Is anyone even paying attention to this anyways? 

It's been a while since I wrote, but as I mentioned in the chapter before, I was sick and not in the mood... Now everyting is better. I'm not going to apologize for not uploading though, I stated before that I don't plan to have an schedule, because I write this as days go by, I don't have a "plot" for this. 

I attached a picture of how I want you to imagine the forest of the story at the top of the page. It will be extremely important that you don't forget it, as the rest of the book will be spent there. Not that I won't provide some descriptions about it, but I believe that having some visual help would be better. 

Is anyone curios about the appearance of the characters ? I can open a chapter for those who have any questions about it and I'll answer them truthfully and humbly. 

Thanks for bearing with me, truly appreciate it. =)
