I woke up with a heavy feeling , feels like someone was sitting on top of me but i knew it was all just my imagination . I groaned and pulled myself off of my bed . The sound of the raindrops hitting my wondow soothed my feeling , the scent of humid air warmed my whole body .

I went downstairs bracing myself to face aunt and dad again .

but

all i saw was an empty house.

I checked every single room just to be sure before i search for the cottage key . When i was sure , i went over to the cupboard and grabbed the key .

The sky was getting darker and darker every minute , i pulled my hoodie up protecting my head from the raindrops . The cottage looked scarier with the dark clouds surrounding it . The door let out the same creaking sound when i opened it , it was dustier than before . I guess aunt forgot to clean it nowadays . I went over the grand stairs and make my way up stairs .

Not wanting to waste time in this dump i went over to the box . I rummaged through it and grabbed the black leather book . The fact my aunt had a diary still confuses me but i cant think about it now .

I went back to my room and threw the book on my bed when suddenly my phone goes off . My heart leaped when i saw it was Devon .

Hey :) You left me at the hospital , you okay ?

i smiled knowing how worried he was

im fine :) i just went home . see you tonight?

His reply was almost instant

Sure :)

I relaxed and laid on my bed and brace myself for what the book contains . The book was old and dusty , some of the pages was about to fall off when i opened it . A paper fell out of one of the pages . I frowned , if this book fell apart on me aunt will notice ive opened it . I picked the paper up and read it.

No . No this cant be real

" Murderer of Olivia Johansson was sentenced to 5 years of prison "

" Jonathan Walefire was sentenced to 5 years of prison for the murder of Olivia Johansson "

Walefire ? where have i heard it before ?

"oh Devon Walefire ... its been a long time since i heard that name"

Aunts voice filled my brain . I dropped the paper , my hand was trembling . This is impossible , how is this even real?
