Today starts my summer break! I knew I had a lot of time on my hands so I quickly wrote chapter 8 for you guys! 7th grade was a good year, but- goodbye until August, school! ;D

I hadn't even thought of Rover for a long time. There were maybe a few times that events occurred and it got me a bit concerned- but I was over it in no time. I finally paid off the amount of money I owed Tom Nook, and Bones and I hung out a lot. He introduced me to more animals around Animal Crossing- including Chevre. She was a sweet and polite goat, and not long after our meeting, all three of us were best friends.

It was a few months since Rover caused me to be stressed out. At last, I was relaxed...

I let my guard down.

Once I earned enough money from my job at Nook's Cranny, I went hunting for furniture to make my house look more decent. It was near Halloween. I was searching for something Halloween themed for trick-or-treaters. I got a few decorations to hang up in my house, and I also got some regular furniture with the rest of the money I could spend.

I decided to redecorate around the living room. It was already a mess from my laziness. I proceeded to throw away all of the trash, then move around the TV, couch, and a few tables here and there.

I noticed a table in the corner of the room I had yet to move. I grabbed the edge of it, and pulled it back. Immediately after doing so, I heard a loud tear sound. I looked down at the legs of the table and seen a crumbled up piece of paper. I picked it up and was ready to put it in the trash; assuming it was just one of the messes I had made earlier.

I guess I was quite curious...

I unwrapped the paper wad and flattened it out on the table I was attempting to move before.

...The map. I thought instantly, literally jumping back. B-but...I got...rid of that... I trembled; scared out of my mind. That single piece of paper brought with it the fear I experienced in my past, the torture and haunting of that evil cat.

I never did throw the map away. I just threw it out of my sight and fled from the room...I realized that after the trembling calmed down.

I was forced to look at that map again.

I automatically knew that there was something wrong with it. It was different.

A bunch of scribbles...? Over Bones' house?

There were a sloppy lines completely blocking out the mark of Bones' house- blocked out in red ink.

I quickly dropped the map, and ran out of my house. Something was going to happen to Bones. Something bad. I sensed it. That map pointed it all out. Those scribbles were never placed there before. How long has it been there? How long was it since I last seen the map? Had something already happened!? I hoped not.

I ran as fast as I could to his house...

But when I got there...

What have I done.

Chapter 9 will be published around May 21st-26th
