New Beginnings

Abigail and I had been talking for awhile now, we had become good friends, talk a lot about random things, and understand each other. Dinner came to an end, and I was about to tell her about the only secret I have in my life. I went up stairs and immediately opened up the diary, and began to write to her. I found it strange that after we had written and finished everything disappeared. With the first words I wrote tears that had been streaming down my face fell down upon the paper.

“Hey Abs.” -G.V.A.

“Are you crying my dear. I can see tear stains on my paper. Are you OK?” -A.S.K.

“I didn't know they would show through the paper. Sorry about your book…” - G.V.A.

“Its OK sweet heart. Just tell me what’s wrong.” -A.S.K.

“Well at dinner tonight I decided to tell my parents about this book. He wanted me to destroy it, but I said that I would never. We argued for a while, and after a while he hit me. It continued for a while getting fiercer and fiercer. Everywhere hurts Abs.” -G.V.A.

“Please tell me he didn't do anything really bad to you…” -A.S.K.

“He Did Abs he did. I have bruises almost everywhere and everywhere hurts to. I don’t know what to do Abs.” -G.V.A.

“Oh sweet heart I wish I could be there to give him a piece of my mind. I wish I could be there for you, but I can’t” -A.S.K.

“I will get out of here, and then he’ll finally stop.” -G.V.A.

“Has this happened more than once?” -A.S.K.

“Yeah it started last year when father fell into a deep depression again. It happens every twenty years or so.” -G.V.A.

“ I wish I could have helped you sweet heart. I would have taken you away from him by now if I knew.” -A.S.K.

“Can I come live with you Abs. You would never hurt me right?” -G.V.A.

“I would never hurt you Gabe. I would love it if you came to stay with me.” -A.S.K.

“I would have to get money, and get packed. I will tell you when I am done.” -G.V.A.

“Don’t worry about money that will be taken care of here. Just pack clothes and things that matter most to you.” -A.S.K.

“OK I will tell you when I am done packing.” -G.V.A.

“See you in a bit then Gabe.” -A.S.K.

I closed the diary and grabbed a duffel bag. I filled the bag with my clothes, I didn't have many.

I had ten shirts, three pairs of leggings, and four pairs of pants. I only had two pairs of shoes so that didn't take long. I grabbed another bag, and stuffed it with my favorite books. They were mainly books like The Giver and Wait for me by Moon Light. I went back to the diary and did a mental check through my head. Clothes, check. Books, check. Toiletries….I need those.

I grabbed all of those things and remembered my Shell Silversteine. I went over my check list again, and had everything. I went to the diary and opened it to write.

“I’m ready Abs.” -G.V.A.

“See you in a bit then!” -A.S.K.

The book started to shake and rumble in my hand. A light started to emit from the center of the diary. The light got brighter and brighter until I couldn't look at it anymore. I felt cool air hit my skin, and a sinking feeling in my stomach. I opened my eyes and….I was still in the same room. I thought to myself that it didn't work ,and I would have to live here longer.

Tears were streaming down my face and I was sniffling so hard I could barely breathe. I then notice that the diary was gone. A panic attack started to set in as I looked for the diary. I couldn't find it anywhere but I just had the thought that father could have taken it. I rushed down the spiral staircase, and heard voices coming from the kitchen. I walked to the kitchen and saw three women.

One was as tall as my mother with the same hourglass figure. She had chubby cheeks, wide hazel eyes, and short dirty blond hair. One of the others was around five feet and five inches tall, and was chubby. She had high set cheek bones, small unpronounceable light brown eyes, and long flowing red hair.

The last one in the middle of the two was around six feet seven inches tall. She was taller than my father, and that was odd. Not many people are that tall. She had long pronounced facial features, round dark green eyes with gold flakes near the center, and long straight brown hair with black high lights. Her hair went to the floor.

They were all wearing cloaks that matched the color of there eyes, I think they did that on purpose that or they just like those colors. They stopped talking and there eyes gazed upon mine. There eyes looked like they could judge your very soul. The one in the middle took a sigh that sounded like one of relief and spoke.

“ You must be Gabriela. I am Abigail. Welcome to our home, and now yours.”

 

THE END
