Dear diary,

Ever since I got my sleek blue sord I have to sleep by it. I know it doesn't sound safe but I've trained myself to do so. You never know when monsters will attack. I still remember my first one. It was small, looked easy. But it could 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 I lost a lot of blood that night. All because of couldn't find my sord. Ever since I have to sleep with my hand firmly on it.

Ten, eleven, twelve… and thirteen!

Finally! I had gathered all thirteen parts for the spell.

Ever since my grandmother had stepped down as the high priestess last month, the responsibility had fallen on me—the next witch in line. She had been preparing me, of course, but it didn't make it any easier. And it didn't help that things went wrong most of the time for me. I had to get this right on the...

It all started when my Gran gave me that sleeping doll all for me

I was only three years old at the time and she filled me with glee

She ate at my table when I had my afternoon snack and a lolly

It was the first time she spoke to me my beautiful baby dolly

Those special words “I will always be there for you” she said

When the days passed and I had to go to school for my head

When the bus drop...

The fresh faced students stare blankly at the thickly bound copies that I pass back to each row.

“If you damage the Codex, you will owe me a new copy. I have a typewriter in my office, and you can type all 600 pages, print them, and bind them. Alright?”

The thing about being a professor is you are the only one in the room that gets old. Every year they stay the same. Rarely do squires come back...

** **I heard knocking on my door. I knew it couldn’t have been my family, they all had keys. I looked out the window of my bedroom only to see what I shall now call the problem duo (Sam and June). I slammed my computer shut and ran downstairs.

“This isn’t how it is supposed to end…” Is all I could muster as I watch my family home fade into the background. I do not know the men surrounding me or this bear of a man holding me like a bag of rice: sometimes over the shoulder. Gently held with two hands at times. But most definitely thrown on the ground when the bear man decided he wasn’t bear enough.

I am terrified. What person wouldn’t b...
