fChapter 38: A Secret Journal

Cody

I have snuck out my dad's and my temporary home. I was heading towards the Shiba house now. I haven't opened the note. My dad took it away saying that it may be a trap by Emily.

I walked into the gates and it was the same way we left it. I walked inside and towards Emily's room. Maybe she has clues as of how to beat her.

I found a hole in the wall. It needs a key.

"Where would she keep a key?" I asked myself.

Jewelry Box! I got up and ran to the yellow Jewelry box on the dresser. I opened it and shoveled through the untouched, tangled bracelets necklaces and earrings.

I finally found a key tied around a string. I grabbed it and brought it toward the key hole.

I gently placed it into the slot, turned, and pulled. The drawer opened. I looked inside and saw a Journal. I quickly unlocked it. I skimmed through the pages. Just what I was looking for!

Jayden

We haven't seen Emily for a while. Moogers tend to give us that horrible food. Our parents are sleeping most of the time. It's because Xandred beats them most of the time. We can't do anything to stop it. No sign that Emily is even alive. We can't trust what anyone on this ship says. What's horrible is we can barely trust Emily. I hate saying that but it's true. For all we know she may not be alive. She may not even be human. She may be a full nighlok.

"Jayden, I need to see those files." Lauren said.

"And we need to learn that ghost trick." Mike said.

"I know. I am trying to think of a plan." I muttered.

Xandred

Exilia has been in her room all day. I am strengthening her nighlok side by leaving her crown in there. Her good side will get weak around it until she surrenders to the dark side completely. I haven't let her out of her room for a long time. Even if her good side does find the strength to fight back, she won't get out. She will get weak till she dies. If she gains control and dies, she will be replaced by Exilia. This plan is perfect.

Dear Diary,

It's getting harder to control these strange powers. I accidentally let my duplication slip today in battle. I sometimes wish I was never born. If I was never born….I would never betray my friends. I created a secret code with Mia today. I told her so if I have to tell her something private while we are out that I can communicate. Really it's for if the day comes I can help them escape. I can't let my nighlok side know. I may a promise to myself. If I were to ever get captured, I would help them escape and stay with the nighlok. I don't want my friends to get hurt. I would take any kind of torture if it will save my friends. I decided to keep this journal. That way if someone were to find it, they know I didn't want to be like this. I guess, I should tell you about myself.

My name is Emily Kirra Suzuki. I have an older sister named Serena. I was born on June 16th. My mom is Caitlyn and my dad….my dad is someone I don't want. I knew since I was 7 who my father could be. Well what kind of race. I knew he had to be a nighlok. My mom never told me.

Clear water…..

Emily

Clear water? Could it be part of this code Emily was talking about?

I closed the diary and continued searching through the drawer. I found letter's Emily wrote to her team. I didn't open those. Those are special. I continued searching and found a necklace. This necklace didn't look normal. It was stranger looking. I pulled a box out from under Emily's bed and placed everything inside. I then began to run back to my temporary home.

Any guesses on this code? Also, my friend challenged me to ten days of strange memories which means everytime I post something I have to include a memory that I remember at any age which was strange for me. Today is:

When I was 4 or 5 or something, I grabbed a jar of peanut butter and smeared it all over a door that separated me and my older sister's room. No I don't know how many jar's I used nor how I reached the top of the door. All I know is it was a very thick layer and my room smelled like Peanut butter for months.
