Chapter Four: Another Note, Another Clue
Maru opened the door slowly, she was shaking and so she couldn't get a very good grip on it. When she finally opened the door she stood frozen, and her eyes showed fear. In front of her was the ghost her grandma warned her about, Namie.
She knew it was Namie by the description her grandma gave. Maru screamed and raised the Camera Obscura and she looked into the viewfinder. Maru zoomed out to show more of Namie, and then she took the photo, Namie disappeared.
Namie left something for Maru; it was a page from a dairy. The pages were white, faded a bit, and it had purple writing in it. The page read this, "June 3rd today is my birthday and I got this as a present from my parents. I love this diary so much, it's so pretty. Well I have to go because it's now time for cake and ice crème."
Maru put the page in her bag that she was carrying. In this bag she kept her own journal. She grabbed the journal and wrote about the ghost she saw, what happened, and then she put the page in it.
The room she was now in was cold and damped. There were books everywhere, she decided to look at the titles, to see if any sounded like they would help. Maru looked everywhere and was about to give up when she spotted the book The Family's Unknown Ritual.
Maru knew she didn't have enough time to stop and read, so she put the book in her bag and headed for the only other door in the room.
