A/N: This is not a Harry Potter story, just a random one. It has no fandom, it is purely original. I do own it. I made this story a few years ago when I was still in middle school. Maybe elementary or intermediate. I am just putting it here in case anyone wants to finish it. If you do, PM me so we can discuss where the story will go. If you already have an idea and are set on it, you may write it so long as you let me know so I can read it. If you do write it, you must credit me on the idea of the story and/or as the creator/original writer of the story.
Entry 1:
Dear whoever is reading this,
You probably want to just go and burn this book because I am just a regular kid with a regular family who lives at a regular house, with a regular life. There is not much to it. but if you want to read it okay, but I warned you. Anyway, next entry next week because I have nothing to write about this week so bye!

Entry 2:
Dear whoever is reading this,
Okay. I got bored so I decided to write in my journal. Okay, so it was my birthday yesterday, April 7, and as a special treat I get to go the the waterpark on Saturday. It is my favorite waterpark and I am sooo excited! The only thing is that it is 45 minutes away. My brother always sits on the right in the car because he didn't want to be in the middle or next to the big pile of trash. My sister always sits on the left because her car seat can't fit in the middle. So I am just cramped in the middle with my brothers rock music on blasting into my right ear and my sister screaming at me in my left ear. Write more on Saturday.

Dear whoever is reading this,
I am pleased to inform you that I only lost a little bit of blood from this car ride so far. My sister thinks she can sing and she was testing the vocal rang and I felt like my ears were going to explode. I swear the I saw a window crack a little. Also, STOP READING MY JOURNAL CALVIN! IF I CATCH YOU I WILL MAKE SURE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO READ ANOTHER THING! Also Alli, suspicious, apocalypse, extravaganza. There now that Alli is dizzy because of the big fancy words and Calvin has received his hourly death threat, I can carry on with my journal. Oh rest stop, got to go. Write later.

Entry 4:
Dear whoever is reading this,
We finally got there in our swimsuits. Mine was a dark purple one piece with white flowers on it and a large whole for decoration in the middle of my back. My older brother (or as I like to call him, my older bother) was wearing red swim shorts with a white rim and a black T-shirt with navy green letters in all caps in a font that make it look like rock. The letters said I AM TOUGH 'CAUSE I ROCK ON! it is really a lame pun. He has it on so that he has something on when he isn't swimming. And last but currently not least...well might be... Alli is wearing a pink two piece swimsuit with little flowers of every colour on it and at the bottom of of the top piece was a little frill. There now you have your details and are satisfied, yes? Now onto the real story.
It was snowing when we got there. I know! Snowing in the middle of APRIL! Mother Earth I know that you are old(Thanks a lot Father Time) but that does not mean that you can stop paying attention. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SPRING! Ok, now that that is over, time get on with the entry. So we get to the safari themed water park and wait in line for 2 minutes and then when we get to the desk, the lady says that their capacity is full. And the people in front of us went in so we must have gotten there just barely too late. We shouldn't have stopped at the rest stop. It must be so busy because it is snowing and this is the only indoor waterpark in the whole area!
We decided to go to the amusement park because we didn't want to have come all the way out here and have to go right back. So we went and to stand in the long line (it was long because everyone who couldn't go to the water park came to the amusement park) for wristbands for the amusement park.
I saw a bunch of my brothers friends in swim shorts and T-shirts heading our way and started calling my brothers name. My brother went to them like he expected them there and patted them on the back. My dad seemed to notice this too so he asked my brother my they were here. And we got the response of 'Well I invited them. What you didn't expect me to spend a day at the resort with my stupid sister did you?' Then my sister stepped towards my brother and asks his friends 'Did you bring them?' And then from out of the crowd step Lily and Francesca, who are younger siblings of some of my brothers friends and are Alli's age.
Then Alli said 'Now before you ask I bought them because I didn't want to spend the day sucking up to my sister and doing what she wants. Now Who Wants To Go On The Ferris Wheel A Bajillion Times And Eat Our Weight In Candy?!' There as a loud shriek of agreement and the little girls skipped away towards the ferris wheel and the boys went over to show off for some bikini babes who stumbled in from the water park.
"Well sweetie, I guess it is just you and me." my dad said reaching out for my hand and smiling very sweetly. "Yep" I said. And then I looked out of a nearby window and sighed.

Entry 5:
Dear whoever is reading this,
The day was less lame than I thought it was going to be. I first went on this ride with my dad that spins you right to left AND up and down. It is call the 360 because it takes all the way upside down. It was so fun and I felt like I was flying! When we got off, my dad went over to a trash can and actually threw up! I didn't think that people actually did that. I was fine though because I don't get motion sickness. I played arcade games for a little while after that to let my dad rest. I got an amazing prize. It's a ginormous stuffed dog with a large pouch on its belly and a pillow in between it's front arms so it can be a sleeping bag too. Then we went on the go carts and played laser tag. I totally crushed him in both thing, but he will say otherwise. I told him that I wanted to go on the 360 a few more times before we left so I went off to do that and he said that we would meet right back in front of the Froyo place to get some ice cream before we left. I kissed him on the cheek and ran over to the ride. While I was getting strapped in I was this kid crying.
"I told you not to play with this stuff." The dad said holding a beaker of chemicals.
Then it happened. The boy lunged for it and missed flicking the beaker upwards. I was watching this all upside down and right when I got to the very top the ride sent off a spark. I didn't have any time to wonder about the friction because the spark made contact with the beaker. Out of nowhere, a huge black hole like mass appeared. My seat belt felt loose and the next thing I know is that the seat belt isn't even on me anymore and the mass was sucking me in! It wasn't sucking anyone or thing else in, only me. Inside the mass I felt like my body was being twisted and stretched. It smelled like rotten milk.
I, very suddenly, stopped stretching and twisting as the smell of rotten milk vanished. I opened my eyes to see I was sitting on red silk blanket next to a matching pillow on a four poster bed in a large dark room. Coming from a thick wooden door was a steady bang, bang, bang. Someone was knocking at the door.
Entry 6:
Dear whoever is reading this,
This entry is written in ink because I am a princess. Okay, so, let me backup. The mass put me in the room I am in now and when a guy came into the room and told me "Princess Alsmercillida, your supper awaits." and then held out his arm like I was supposed to take it so I did.
We went down several halls and stairways, taking many twists and turns. After about five minutes of brisk walking, we finally arrived in a massive room twice as long as my school gym and twice as wide as our cafeteria. There were tables set with fruits, pudding, roast boar, chicken, fish, soup,, chips, bread, butter, wine, water, lemon water, mashed potatoes, cooked, baked, and raw potatoes, and many more things that I could not recognise. The man escorting me sat me to the right of a woman in a large turquoise dress with a green cape. She had marvelous green eyes with long flowing wavy blond hair. After I sat down, he sat in the chair to the right of me.
A server came along and poured some of the wine from the table into my cup (more like a chalice) and left before I could ask for something else. I was served many courses and desserts, the biscuits were my favorite, and I was full after the first few courses but ate at least a bit of all the other coursed. I had a taste of the wine but it tasted odd and made my throat sting so I just ignored it. After that the adults talked and I just sat there wondering about stuff. Why did the guy next to me call me a princess? Why and how am I here? Where am I? Who am I? Alsmercillida? Maybe.
After about an hour of questioning myself some people started to leave. I was wondering how I would ever find my way back to the room I was in again when the man who escorted me stood up and offered me his arm again. While he escorted me back to the room, I tried to be more observant. The building looked old. Very old. But it was also festive and bright and colourful. There were many portraits of people who I did not recognise. When we finally got back to the room, the man said "I shall be back in no more than half and one hour to show you to your sleeping chamber." After I figured out what he meant, I quickly ask him a question.
"Sir, what should your name be?" I was trying to copy his talk. It was sort of an old talk.
"Sir George McKeilree, my lady. Doth thou hast any other inquiries or shall I leave you to be in thou chamber?" He responded in his old accent.
"None other than that, Sir McKeilree," I think I am getting the hang of this old accent thing.
After that SIr George McKeilree, but I am going to call him George in my diary for short, I was left alone. I looked around and saw a picture on the wall. Or portrait rather. It looked identical to me in every way. Although my hair is done odd and has a tiara in is and I am wearing a red dress with a purple cape. This made me think to look at my own clothing. I am not wearing my bathing suit anymore. I am wearing a yellow dress with a orange sash and cape. I touched my head to feel a tiara. I think that I was somehow transported back in time and now I am Princess Alsmercillida. Wow. I am hurrying to write this all down before George gets back, but it is so hard to write with a quill and ink. Oh I think I can hear George from down the hall. Got to go. Write more later.
~Haven or maybe Alsmercillia now
Entry 7:
Dear whoever is reading this,
The breakfast today was just as grand a the dinner yesterday. Everyone stuffed themselves silly. I am trying to be more observant so I can find out where and maybe when I am. I listened in on a conversation that the grown ups were having and it was horrifying.
"Oh, yes. I think that will do. But it must be hosted here. In our garden. That's her favorite spot. All she does is sit there and write in that little book of hers. The cake will be red velvet with vanilla frosting." Said the lady who I sat next to last night. Who is this girl who loves the gardens and also writes in a diary, I must meet her, we would be very good friends.
"But it must not be too soon. Three months time shall do. My Alerdan will be readying the entire place for her." Said a man across from the lady
"I thank ye. It is very late for an occasion as such but my daughter is still such a child. She shall be most thankful for thy son and the three months ready. Many people expected her to have one half and a year ago or more. I shall announce it to her tonight and to the kingdom tomorrow." The lady replied.
"There will be quite the festive of their arrival in my land. He is the only heir and otherwise no king shall follow." At this point the man stood up "I shall see you, and your daughter Princess Alsmercillia in the time of the months of third." Wait! ME! HE was talking about someone marrying ME?! I feel as if I am about to faint. I am just about to ask them what they mean 'I'm getting married?!' when I remember that I am eavesdropping and that would give me away.
Later that day, after sitting in the garden and lying in the sun the lady came to see me.
"Daughter," she said. I suppose she is now my mother. "You are, in no less than three months time, you and Prince Edilen are to be wed. Since you are our sole heir, I expect many grandchildren. You must start reproducing as soon as you are wed."
I knew this was going to happen. But the shock from it actually occurring and not being just a nightmare was big enough for me to have a look of absolute shock on my face. Curse olden times and their early marriage.
