After I said my goodbyes to Katelyn and doctor Moisturizer, I walked to Martin's house. The only problem was that I had no clue where I was. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵? I was wrong. I wandered around the village not being able to find the house.
I encountered a crowd of people standing close to each other. It seemed like they were looking to something. I was to small to look over everyone's head, so I squeezed myself to the crowd. Then I saw what the people were looking at. It was a red suited knight standing on a wooden stage.
Everyone around me was whispering to each other. I heard rumors like, "isn't that the prince's loyal knight?" and "is it about the prince's birthday?"
The red suited knight finally began to speak, "attention everyone!" A knight behind the stage handed the knight on stage a scroll.
I recognized the knight off stage. It was Jeevan who handed the scroll.
The red suited knight opened the scroll and began to read aloud, "this is a message from king Grandon!"
I heard someone whispering, "the king? Does he want more money?"
The red suited knight continued, "Prince Lucas's birthday arrives in two days. The 8th of summer next tuesday we will celebrate prince Lucas's 18th birthday. On that day we also held the cook of the year competition. Cooks who want to participate have to register at Leevan over there today. Everyone is must meet here to celebrate the prince's birthday next tuesday. Everyone who doesn't show up can expect punishment. Everyone also has to pay 500 silver coins for the prince's birthday. If you don't you will be punished as well."
Of course nobody was happy with this message, but nobody dare to spoke against the knight. If you ask me I wouldn't be that sad about it. It was not my problem, caus I wasn't in controle on tuesdays.
𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵... 𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯'𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦. I still didn't know where to go. Lori Village couldn't be that big. Than I relized something at the side of the road. 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘴...? I just reliezed the signs for the first time. 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦, 𝘐 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦... I walked to the signs. There were a couple of them and I couldn't read all of it, but I still tried. 𝘖𝘬𝘢𝘺... 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴... 𝘚𝘩𝘰... 𝘚𝘩𝘰-𝘪𝘯𝘨... 𝘦𝘦𝘵... 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘵? 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. 𝘕𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴... 𝘓𝘰... 𝘳𝘪... 𝘐𝘭𝘭𝘢... 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘪 𝘝𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘦... 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯... 𝘌𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯... 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘪 𝘝𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘌𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦? 𝘐 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘴𝘰... I decided to follow the signs in the hope to find my destination.
After following a few signs I arrived at the entrance. 𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘥! 𝘐 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘵! I was proud of myself and turned to Martin's house. I didn't hesitate to go in Martin's warm nice house.
At the moment I opened the already unlocked door I felt empty or rather the house felt empty. I walked around. Everything was clean. There was not a single evidence of life. 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬... 𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘥... A tear rolled over my face.
My father yelled at me when I cried, he hated weakness.
My mother hugged me and would say, "mommy is here, I will always be here for you when you're feeling sad, I promise."
"Liar..." I cried. "Where are you mom? Where are you?!" I used my arms to whipe off my tears. "You promised... you promised you would be here!" I was angry, but gave up on the feeling. I looked at the ground and murmured, "where are you...?"
Mom was gone, dad was gone and Martin was gone. I was alone in this house. Katelyn weren't here for me and neither was doctor Moisturizer. They weren't here. 𝘋𝘰 𝘐 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮? My brothers weren't here, they were nowhere.
I walked upstairs and looked at the back door. I was ordered to keep out, 𝘣𝘶𝘵... I looked at the key and lept to the door. I put the key in they key hole, 𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘴. I turned it and opened the door.
I stepped inside the room and looked around. It was just a normal bedroom. There was nothing worth of value in this room, nothing at all. But that wasn't actually correctly. This whole room was worth a lot actually, but in emotional worth. It was a room of a person. It had a bed , a desk and a closet. The bed had a panda plushy laying on it. The closet was filled with clothing. The desk had books laying on it. I couldn't read any of it. I looked in a drewer and saw another book with a feather pen, 𝘥𝘪... 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢? 𝘐𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘳𝘺. It had a lot of words in it, but I couldn't read any of it. Some of the pages had drawings. 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦...?
I ran to Martin's room and looked at the drawings in his room. 𝘐𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘸... 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘢 𝘬𝘪𝘥. 𝘏𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘥. 𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘯? 𝘊𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥?
I looked in the diary at some drawings. A lot of drawings had a boy figure. 𝘚𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯'𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘯? The kid in the drawings looked happy on the first few pages. He had a mother and father. He was gifted books. He tried to learn magic with his father. After a few pages some letters seemed weird and the pages felt weard to. It seemed las if something like water was spilled over the pages. However, the boy in the drawings stopped with being happy. He cried on this drawing. 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴? I looked at the drawing and saw an angry man yelling at the crying boy. Though it wasn't the father. The next page kind of scared me. It was a girl with X eyes which meant she was dead. The boy cried on the drawing. I saw a word written on the page. 𝘔 𝘜 𝘙 𝘋 𝘌 𝘙... 𝘔𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳?! The word murder had an arrow connected to it pointing at the boy. 𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭?! I looked further until I saw a drawing of his mom laying on a bed. The boy, father and mother were crying. There was also a man with a suit that had an water sign on it. 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘔𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘳. However the doctor in the drawing wasn't as large as doctor Moisturizer, so it probably wasn't him. I looked further until one of the pictures showed the mother, but with X eyes. The pages after really disturbed me. The word murder was written all overe the upcoming pages. There were like 8 pages filled with the words. After that there were no more drawings anymore. Only words were left. I tried to read the last words of the last page written with big letters, it said "GOODBYE WORLD." 𝘏𝘦... 𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘥... 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧?
My hands were trembling and I dropped the book. I bowed to pick it up again. I walked back to the boys room and placed it on the desk. "Mom... please help me... someone?" I dropped myself on the bed and felt something hard in my breast pocket. It was a ring. The stone was red, but turn blue at the moment I touched it. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘺 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮? 𝘋𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴? I put on the ring.
I walked to my own room and found some letters. 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐'𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵. I left the letters on the table and went to sleep.
