A book

Zak walked around the empty house and then snuck out. Good. Fisk was nowhere in sight. Well then again, that was the point of the game, not to be caught or seen. Next hiding stop: Lexi's room. He'd been playing a spy game with Fisk and couldn't allow himself to be seen even if it meant going into Lexi's room. He ran and dove behind the couch and then peeked up to see if Fisk was around.

He did a tumble forward and landed behind the chair. Suddenly he jumped up and made a mad dash for the dimly lit hall. He crept through the shadows, holding his breath making sure to watch the ceiling with caution. He slid practically glued to the wall into the bedroom. He quietly closed the door and breathed in deeply.

"Phew," Zak sighed. Now he could take a breather. He was originally playing the unknown game with all three of his original cryptid siblings. Zon was the first to get out, and surprisingly Komodo was caught by Fisk, and now they were the only two left in the game which had lasted almost two hours and running.

Zak leaned on the door and then slid down to a sitting position. Then he looked up and noticed a book on Lexi's well made up bed.

"What's this?" he mused to himself.

"My fantastical life," he read the cover aloud. He looked around; making sure Lexi was really on a training mission. He opened the cover to the first page.

The opening sheet was blank. The next page however was filled with creative bordering and designs. In the center there was a picture of Lexi on a horse. Then at the bottom of the picture there was a line that said "this book belongs to: Lexi"

Zak smiled. Oh yeah! He flipped the page and it read:

Hey! C'est Lexi!

(Each bullet is a new day/ or an event)

Today I went to my first day of school and I was instantly popular.

The second day of school, KD and I hung out during lunch and then we both went to my house and we played manhunt with some more of our friends. Then he left and I did my homework.

Third day! KD scared the you know what outta me! We took a trip to the nearby lake and he pretended he was controlling water! Then he pretended to drown and I jumped in the water and he was fine. I got really wet. PS. We were there to observe where our first lab would be.

Day # 4: We had our first quiz on Marine life and I aced it! (Made a 100!) KD somehow made a 110 though.

Day 5: Last day of the first week! Next week extra curricular activities start!

Day 6: Today was grawesome! It was Saturday and I got to ride in a horse show competition! I won 1st place! It was so exciting and then KD and I went to hang out on the beach with another girl and guy from school and someone was drowning and then KD reached the person before the lifeguard entered the water.

Day 7: The day of rest…. No comment…

Day 8: Hound (a friend not dog) beat me today in an eating contest. Oh and today's EC activities were Soccer and writing.

Day 9: Not much went on. Except KD was "sick" and I had dance and drum practice.

Day 10: I had auditions in drama class today. I' m waiting for the casting now. I had karate today.

Day 11: I got the part! I had basketball today, and an extra drama class. I also learned that soy sauce water with extra salt is disgusting. I had ballet (different from dance) and ping pong practice.

Day 12: We had our first test today… lovely. I also had lacrosse and karate practice again.

Day 13: Weirdo (another guy friend) started signing Don't Stop Believing' today really loud when I was teaching him to tack up a horse. He scared the horse, I talked to it! And I think it understood me!

Day 14: yes, the day of rest again, but I played tetherball with KD. I won.

Zak paused there. I bet this was before her weird powers. KD obviously has his though. Zak then looked back down to the notebook.

Day 15: Wow these weeks are flying by. Something really weird happened today. I randomly started growling in soccer practice and then my coach said I should see the school counselor. I had no idea what happened, but KD looked as if he knew.

Day 16: I was supposed to go to counseling but I ditched and when I was riding on my bike to home I found a hurt bird. I picked it up but when I touched it, I felt as if I knew and felt everything it felt.

Day 17: I woke in my bed and scratched my head and found that I had grown feathers. I called in school sick. Later that day I woke up from a nap and I wasn't even human! I was a bird! I screamed, but that came out a squawk. Then I was human.

Day 18: Another day at home. I was petting my dog and then suddenly I turned into one!

Day 19: I have no idea why things like this keep happening to me. I was tacking up my horse and then I turned into one! I figured out something key though. I learned how to turn to and from the three animals I had previously been,

Day 20: I came back to school but I had to make up two tests and a quiz and loads of homework. The counselor caught up to me and then he said I should take my seething anger out on a pillow.

Day 21: Saturday, just making up work, nothing special.

Day 22: Still doing work. What did we do when I was gone?

Day 23: Back to school, soccer, and writing.

Day 24: No school. It was a teacher workday or something. I went to the zoo and I felt every animal's feelings. When I got to the petting zoo, I petted a lama and then I turned into one. Then a goat rammed into me and I turned into a goat. Then I got turned into a cow and I decided to walk around the zoo trying to find a bird so I could get out of a cow body, but instead an employee thought I had escaped my pin and knocked me out with a dart. I woke up later and the zoo was closed. I took that chance to touch every animal I could to get more and more forms. Hey this could be useful.

"Ah, she's finally catching on!" Then with no warning the door burst open and Fiskerton leaped in and yelled.

"Gautcha!"

"Hey! Wait! Fisk! Check this out!" Zak pulled Fisk down without even turning around.

"This is some kind of scrapbook diary Lexi made when she was 12! I think… It's actually pretty interesting."
