Dear Diary,
I thought I might give you a recap on the scariest and most bizarre day of my life.
Later that evening my mum shouted to me,
“Ashleigh it’s time for you to go to bed now”
“Fine,” I said somberly.
I half-opened the duvet cover off my bed and I jumped in it. As the sun started to slowly creep down passed the hill, I decided to read my book to help me feel tired so I could try and get some sleep. My eyes started slowly drifting off so I put my book down and placed it on my bedside cabinet.
I then alarmingly realised that I needed my essay homework for school tomorrow that needs to get marked, but it wasn’t there. I searched for hours wondering where it could be. I was pulling clothes out of my drawer and rummaging through my wardrobe, it was gone, it was nowhere to be found.
“Imagine that my things started to mysteriously disappear. One thing disappears, then another thing has gone, and another!” As hours then passed I fell into a deep sleep.
“Ouch,” I screeched,
I woke up aghast as the clock struck midnight, something very Immense and bulky had come tumbling over me while I was trying to sleep. Soon after I started to hear loud boisterous noises coming from the attic downstairs. I quickly shot out of my bed quivering in fear, so I started to gradually promenade through my hallway and down to the attic. At that moment In my head, I was starting to think…
“What or who was making all of these loud booming noises?”
To myself, I thought it was a very mysterious day.
“All of my school subjects have gone and my clothes”
After I finished school I peered closely as these strange people dressed in black were following me home, that’s all I can remember!
As time still continued, each slow step I took through the hallway the floorboards started to creak vociferously.
At that instant I make it to the attic, spiderwebs were scattered all through the oak wood that was situated around me. My delicate fragile hands were gliding through the stretchy, sticky, web and it started spreading onto my clothes without me noticing.
As I’m trying to figure out what is going on, the lights in the attic were starting to flicker on and off making the electricity in the whole house go off, I peer out the stainless steel window the sky was pitch black with golden stars sparkling in the far distance radiantly.
Next minute as I’m lazily walking down the overcast, murky stairs I find a candle that is lying down on the top step sitting on a small glass plate with a box of lighters placed beside it. I calmly pick the candle up and realise that it has flooded with candle wax everywhere. I deliberately grab the lighters and graze the lighter over the matchbox making the room light up with sparks.
When I reach the bottom of the stairs, all I see is an ancient door just standing there. Then within a millisecond, the door opens for me leading me into the secret passage of the attic.
For a quick moment, I started wondering suspiciously.
“I’m sure that there were more boxes of items down here, where has everything gone?” I walked around examining the room cautiously trying to see if I can find everything.
“Everything has gone”
Piece by piece, as I’m watching closely the items in the attic was starting to disappear by floating in mid-air.
In the far distance, a bright portal shone, sending soft, golden beams of light out across the evening sky. As the light kissed the dark, gloomy clouds they blushed, becoming pink illuminations.
All that was left of the attic was the door. It was still open. There was still time for me to get out, I was trapped. There was no time, the portal whorled me around wildly as I’m trying to pull myself out.
I spot from the far distance those strange men that were following me home from school.
“Help me please!” I screamed. They didn’t answer until they replied with,
“That was your time know it’s ours”.
“No” I screamed,
“Please”
They still stood there discreetly, but as the portal was whorling me in, a rope was hanging from the roof, so I emerged myself and grabbed the rope firmly and pulled myself out.
As the tips of my foot lightly touched the ground, I sped across the room, up the stairs and slammed the door shut. Here to fore in a blink of an eye, I see if they’re still standing there,
“They’re Gone!” I said joyfully. I still was curious about why they were following me.
I slowly opened the door and peeked my head through the door,
“Wait a minute I can still see them”
I walk into the attic fierce pretending not to be afraid of them so I apologise
“What did I do to you?” I said confused.
“Am I Hallucinating?”
“The men in black still stood in silence.

Kia Ora Bella,
ReplyDeleteWow what an intense and suspenseful diary entry. I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions reading it and you have an amazing plot line here. What a cool idea to write a thriller, I’ll definitely be looking out for the rest!
You’ve stuck to the storyline quite nicely, and it was an easy to follow story so you should be very proud of yourself. It definitely sounds like Ashleign was having a bit of a tumultuous day.
It would be really awesome if you could include pictures or colours into your post to really engage your readers. Perhaps you could look at these tips for making eye catching blog posts to help or grab some inspiration. It could help bring the story to life!
