I was just nine years old, and I was so bored today. My family and I live in a very big house, bigger than most of other people's houses. I decided to roam around and ended up in a room that I have never been to, or even knew about... We just moved here a year ago, so I don't know much about this house.
Anyway, inside the room was was nothing much to see, except for a big cabinet that looked so old like its been there for a century and no one cared about it. The room was so dusty and there were some dead rats on the floor. Ew. But whatever, I'm bored so I'm curious to see what's in the cabinet. So I walked towards it, opened it, and all there was were sheets of blankets and some raggy old clothes. As I was about to close the cabinet and leave the room, right in the corner of my eye, I saw something GLOW. At first I thought I was just imagining things, but then the glowing just won't stop. The glowing was color red? I dont know, the color keeps changing. Purple then blue, then green, then pink, then red. It stayed red. Hm...weird. I was somewhat scared to see what was underneath the blankets, but curiousity won and my hand grabbed the blankets.....and saw.....a book?! Yeah, it's definitely a book, a notebook. It was the size of a school textbook, and it was thick. The notebook was color purple, but the color was faded. On the front part of cover, was a big gem, a ruby, to be specific. The gem was also glittering. I tried to open the book, but it won't, as if it the pages have been glued together along with the cover. I touched the gem, and I heard a clicking sound. Did i break it? Nope, the gem split in half, and in the center of the half was a key. I took the key and the gem reclosed. I stared at it. The color was gold, and in the center of the key was carved "claire" in a cursive font. Claire? But... What? No, it can't be. Can it? No, it doesn't make sense. It must be another Claire. A lock appeared in the side part of the notebook. For the key, maybe? I put the key, and it fits. I turned it. The book opened automatically. The first page was in a neat hand writing, that slanted to the right, in cursive, just like how.....no, it's not her. It's not possible. The words were written in a glittery, purple ink, like...no, stop thinking about it. It's impossible.
In the first page was:
FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS A DIARY. MY DIARY. AND IF YOU KNOW THAT THIS ISN'T YOURS, STOP READING, STOP. IT WILL PUT YOU TO DANGER, I TELL YOU. ONLY TAKINYOS HAVE THE ABILITY TO OPEN THIS NOTEBOOK, LIKE ME. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK, STRANGER!
I kept re-reading it. It still doesn't make sense to me.
Takinyo? Is it some kind of Japanese dude? I dunno. Maybe this dude is crazy, insane. But then how do you explain the gem?
Then I noticed something, at the bottom of the first page. It was a name, but its too small to read.
I leaned my head closer and squinted: Claire Sourdude.
No, impossible. It's 100% impossible. But how?
