*

The sky was clear and bright, I stood in the middle of a valley. It was so beautiful and clam, it was like nothing I had ever seen before.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and fell on the sun dew grass without a care in the world. 

I opened my eyes to take in the view and I saw a castle afar... 'That wasn't there before' I thought to myself, it was beautiful and it complimented the landscape so nicely.

I closed my eyes once again breathing in the sweet air and what once felt like a dream turned into an instant nightmare...

The smell of blood filled the air as a dark cloud formed above the castle rapidly spread across the land consuming everything in it's path...

I could hear them... The cries of people, women and children, I was so scared I turned around to run away but something held my hand...

I slowly looked down at the child holding my hand drenched in blood with tears in his eyes...

He mouthed something I could not hear or Understand so I shook my head...

H..Help... Us...

Then the little boy fell to the ground unconscious... I was in so much shock I didn't know what to do

I picked up the child and ran while trying to wake him up before the darkness consumes us both...

Then I stopped and looked back... Now The valley was filled with both dead bodies and injured people crying for help...

What am I doing... I should help this people, but I can't... I can't go up against a storm... I don't have any powers to...

I fell on my knees crying my eyes out... I didn't have an answer to this... I looked up again and Mr Jonathan's book fell in front of me...

It opened itself and wrote:

"ONLY YOU HAVE THE POWER TO SAVE THESE PEOPLE... BELIEVE IN YOURSELF... THE BOOK WILL GUIDE YOU"

And with that I woke up in tears as usual... It was the forth night now since I've been having the same dream about an unknown land being destroyed...

I woke up before my alarm or before Mom could call... I went straight to the shower and ran cold water over my hair before I took a shower and got ready for School...

It was Friday today and I was still having the same dream. Ever since my last encounter with the book, which I wasn't really ready to take any test that could practically be the end of me....

I went downstairs to the dining room to get breakfast and go wait for the bus... Granny McPhee was leaving this Morning so AJ and her family went to drop her off at the airport.

I sat in the bus looking out the window, It was raining. The dark clouds reminded me of that dream I had, I definitely had no clue what it meant... Not long after I reached school and as I got off the bus, I felt something speed past me sending chills up my spine but I didn't see anything... It felt like I was being watched or something.

I walked over to my locker to get the books I needed for class and as usual it followed me again. Yes the Book.

Since I hadn't given the book an answer to the test or whatever, the book followed me everywhere I went... I'm beginning to look a little like AJ... since She's the journalist here and all.

"Good morning Ice princess... What's with the long face" Jack asked

"Yea... You look like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed... You ok??" Valery chipped in as Ace walked up to us

"I'm fine... Just pulled another all nighter" I said giving them a weak smile

"You know you've got to take better care of yourself if you want all this studying to pay off, right?" Ace said as he leaned on the locker behind him

"You know we're here if you need to talk" Valerie gave me a reassuring hug

"Yea... We all believe in you Jess" Jack gave me a tums up 

I didn't understand where this was coming from but it made me feel better

I smiled "Ok... Fine... You guys can stop being so touchy-feely now" and we all laughed even Ace joined in

"Thanks guys... I really needed that" I said smiling

"So... Does that mean we're still going to the party tonight" Jack asked and Ace smacked the back of his head... This was becoming a habit now... Lol

"Sure... Why not, We'll meet at the old playground at 8, Jack and AJ are driving. We cool??... Ace??" I asked and he knodded his head

"Then it's settled" then AJ walked in "What's settled??" 

Valerie explained everything to AJ in less than a minute "What about Morgan??"

"You know she'll be there before anyone else Since it's her boyfriend's party" Jack said putting air quotes on the word "boyfriend" 

The bell rang meaning we had to get to class and since it was a half day we had all the time to prepare for the party tonight.

I couldn't pay attention in class cuz' I was thinking about that book's offer... Either way if I don't take the offer or I fail the test it would be bad...

I remembered my friends telling me they had faith in me even if it was about the party... I think I have to tell them what's going on...

The amulet started to glow faintly at the thought and No, I also never took the amulet off since that day, I always became restless whenever I take it off, 

Well the amulet only glows when the book wanted to convey a message to me... 

I opened the book and it began to write: 

"NO ONE ELSE BUT THE CHOSEN ONE MUST KNOW ABOUT THE BOOK, ENEMIES LURK AROUND EVERYWHERE... NO ONE IS TO BE TRUSTED... FOR ONLY THE CHOSEN ONE AND NO ONE ELSE CAN READ THE BOOK" 

"That  answers my question"... I closed the book and put it back in my backpack then I turned back to the teacher trying to understand whatever she was going on about...

After school AJ talked me into going to the mall with her... I didn't want to go but In my defense... I wouldn't even be caught dead at Ethan's party 

But since I had already decided I was going I decided I would be the show stopper at the party...

I took out my phone and looked up show stoping styles on P*******t so I could atleast get an idea

I decided on a short one sleeve dress which wrapped around the body leaving the left side of my stomach exposed in two straps

Luckily I found exactly what I was looking for and on sales too... I was excited but not too excited.

Few Hours Later

I took a shower and started getting ready for the party looking at my phone with the nth message the guys have been sending me to dare not be late...

But where's the fun in arriving on time... It doesn't count for a dramatic entrance... If I'm forced to go to this party I'm atleast going to make an entrance...

8:15pm

I stepped out of my room down to the living room as my siblings wowed at my outfit...

"Wow Jessie, you look fabulous... Are you sure I can't come along" Zoe whined 

"No... I do not want my 12 year old little sister in the mist of those drunk lunatics and by the way Jess you look great... Curfew's by 11 no ifs and buts, stay safe and definitely no highschool sex... They'll scare you for life" 

"Ewwww" the twins chorused

"Thanks big bro... I will, Bye guys" I said as picking up my jacket walking out

"Big T, when are you gonna take me out drinking" Zack asked Tyler

"Oh boy... It's gonna be a long night"

15 minutes later I arrived at the old playground.. 

"At this rate, I'd think you're punishing us for making you come" Valery said as I arrived

"Don't be so down... We lose the element of surprise if we arrive in time" I said as I walked under the streetlight

"Wow... What happened... You looked more gorgeous that you usually do" Valery said

I looked around and almost everyone was awed by how I looked even Ace and he almost never shows any emotion...

"Guys, it's still me" I laughed awkwardly

"Sure you didn't sneak behind my back to get something this good... I mean it fits in all the right places. I'm so proud of you" AJ said and everyone burst into laughter

But I kinda noticed the way Ace looked at me but it was gone in an instance or maybe I'm imagining stuff, I turned back to the guys complimenting me...

"Guys... Guys we're already late as it is, I have to get Valery home before 10 that means I've got limited time to get as high as I can and sober up in the shortest time. So... Let's Go Party People!!!" Jack shouted jumping off his hood and we all followed

This night is gonna be fun....

Meanwhile Somewhere Else...

"My darling, I've given you an important task, you shouldn't fail your mother at any cost" 

"But mother, I hate it in that dimension... All those fools treat me like a commoner"

"Now Now my darling, don't you have your plaything... That boy... "

"Ethan?!?" 

"Yes"

"Oh Mother... Look at the time, I must leave"

"Don't forget your Mission my beautiful daughter... We will be taking over Sorania with a storm"

(Evil laughter)

"Now Go"

This is too much of a responsible to be shouldered on just a child"It was dark, cold and filled with a foul smell, I didn't know where I was or who spoke to me."Oh, Do not be afraid child. I'm just... a friend" she stalled before saying the last word."Who are you and what do you want from me"I couldn't see her so I followed the direction of her voice, it felt like I was in maybe a room or some sort a lab.... or maybe both. The floor was cold with marple stone, who uses marple flooring in this age..."Oh I see someone means business, so without wasting much of your time... I want that spell book" I froze at those words, How did she know about the book, I thought no one else was supposed to know about the unless..."Who are you" I asked again"I already answered tha

    * I stood between the wall of the coffee shop and the next building as I opened up the letter. It read: Dear Jessica, I hope when you find this letter you be in good health and hopefully alive. Everything I told you is true and I want you to remember that, the fact that you are reading this letter proves it. I am sure by now you have alot of questions for me but I cannot answer them right now as what we have feared is upon us sooner than we expected. I hope by now you have decided to take up the challenge of the book, if not I urge you to as we have no other alternative choice. In the course of when you pass I will be there to help you understand everything that is going on. You are the key to our Victory and the evil ones have already began to make their move.

We're in the middle of getting instructions from Jonathan as I'm still overwhelmed with the fact that I was chosen to do something that involves saving the world or two worlds even"Ok... Wait, O-one week!?!" I gave the What-would-I-be-doing-here-for-one-whole-Freakin'-week face to Jonathan"That's where the clone comes in, She will be living your daily life until you are done with the test, no matter how long that would take" He finished"Wo wo wo... Hold up there, so I could be stuck in that thing for at least a week for a test that even you know nothing about... Is that right?""Sure, if that's how you understand it" Jonathan said serious

    *"AJ!?!?!" I shouted, shocked by her new makeover"AJ? Is that a new nickname, I was fine with Alexa, you know" AJ was in a short floral pleated skirt, a white camisole, a denum blue jacket with her thick hair now in curls and pink flats...I know I've wanted to tone down on AJ's tomboyishness but this is way too girly than I could have imagined to handle."What wrong, seriously you're scaring me" And another thing, AJ is never scared, but I'm probably overthinking things"No, it nothing. I just need to find the pixie or fairy that puked all over you" I said looking at her in awe"What's wrong with what I'm wearing" AJ said checking herself"For starters, You look like a bowl of candy cereal in fun flower shape. I mean I know I've always told you to look more like a girl but I never expected it would happen overnight" I said more serious than sa

    Dear DiaryDay 1Today is officially my first day here after a rough start yesterday. I decided that if I was going to get the best of this world, I might as well have a do over.Alot of strange things and occurrence have happened since I woke up yesterday but the best and most surprising of them all was the fact that Danny was alive and right in front of me.I mean, I could feel her, hear her, touch her and even smell her, it all seems like a dream, given the fact that I had lost Danny forever.I still can't believe it myself either and apparently I've in a relationship with Ethan since Junior high which is really weird, since we've been on bad terms since like the seventh grade, I guess losing Danny did that to us, sometimes I don't blame Ethan for acting the way he does.AJ who now prefers to be called Alexa, is now more girly than I could ever

    Day 2Dear DiarySchool was kinda less annoying than usual today, it was somewhat manageable thanks to Danny carefully explaining things to me so that I would be able to quickly catch up on everything that I needed. She also promised me she would explain the misunderstanding between the guys and I... and also about Ethan.Actually I would be just fine with the Ethan misunderstanding at hand, because I literally cannot see a world where Ethan and I are friend more or less dating.But apparently, yesterday the reason why Ethan didn't show up or rather wasn't available was because he had a surprise date set for the both of us which I of course had no idea about considering I just came from another dimension.I guess the Jessica from this dimension really had life perfectly set out for her while all I've been doing was just trying to get through a day without mentally or physically b

    *Dear DiaryDay 5:It's been two days since I last wrote an update here, but you can't possibly blame me, I've been enjoying my best life here and thankfully I do have a lot to tell...Well.... the last two days were extremely fun, firstly, I never really told you about how things were at home, so I'm gonna start from there. For starters, my room was now two times it's original size, meaning more closet space, more room to put stuff and the perfect size to have the best sleepover, I'm so excited. Not that I'm saying there was anything wrong with how it was before but I've always kind of wanted the extra space, you know.Asides that, one of the only thing I didn't really like was the fact that I never really got to see Tyler, being that he was always busy with work meant I hardly got to see him, more or less spend time with him. Moving on, now Dad was way more laied back than he had ever

    *What?" I said out loud.Immediately I heard rubble, I looked around me to find the whole tent and everything in it threatening to fall."This is the end for you, Jessica Anderson, I do hope you're born into a family with less drama in your next life." I heard a voice that surrounded me."Who are you and what have you done to Morgan." I screamed, more worried about Morgan."Typical, you're going to die with that kind heart of yours. Goodbye Jessica." The voice said with a loud menacing laugh that followed immediately after. The ground underneath my feet began to shake making me lose balance, was this the end? Was my story going to end before it even began?I was confused, my mind wasn't able to register that I was faced with death, instead, I had a million and one questions going through my mind, like if I was ever going to survive or if my dead body was ever going to be found. With each time I stood up I was viciously thrown back to the ground.I was already in tears now knowing th

    *I left the car to stand outside after the little scolding I gave to my younger siblings, but it also got me thinking.What if this was truly the last time I actually get to spend time with the both of them, I have to defeat Altheda soon and for that to happen I have to go to magic school, which also means I'll have to leave my family soon.I took a deep breath trying to clear my head when I heard a voice beside me."You seem stressed child?" The old woman said.She was smallish and hunched over carrying a basket full of roses, probably to sell them, they were beautiful though."You have seen life is short and our youth won't last forever so you must trust yourself and the people closest to you to make the right decision. Here's a pretty rose for a pretty girl." I smiled at the old lady and received the rose."Thank you, ma'am. Could I get a dozen of roses from you?" I asked politely."Oh sure my dear, here you go." She slowly packed the roses into an old newspaper and handed them ov

    *I got up from bed at about 8 am this morning feeling great, being around family really was something I needed and today was going to be more fun than any other. We had someone to do the house chores for us while we slept so we didn't have much today but to make breakfast for ourselves.I looked through the cupboards looking for flour and probably chocolate chips which I found thankfully.I made the batter for pancakes and added the chocolate chips in, everyone was going to love this for breakfast.Immediately I made the last pancake the twins came down from their rooms and sat on the island table yawning.Just then the door opened, I thought maybe the cleaner forgot something but it was Tyler with something in his hand."Good morning family." Tyler greeted."Good morning." The twins chorused."Good morning big T, look, I made chocolate pancakes for breakfast." I said excitedly."Cool."

    *It's been two weeks now since I fully started training and I was progressing faster than expected, well according to Jonathan the is. And it was also a week to my supposed real birthday which Jonathan and Robert have been working tirelessly towards.I had just finished training for the day and on my way home, today we finally started learning simple levitation and teleportation spells which were fun.Although I would have liked it better to learn how to teleport or transport a full human to another place or even another dimension. But this was all so fun that it was almost unreal, but it was also keeping me away from my friends and family, basically because I couldn't tell them what was going on in my life.I got home and immediately dropped on the closest couch next to me, as much as I had fun, it was a lot having to spar with Gwendal every day."Are you alright?" Zoe asked with concern hinted in her voice.

    *"Good afternoon my prince, my lady." Mr Jonathan said and we immediately stood up.Robert cleared his throat and I adjusted my cloths and hair."It's not what you think!" We said at the same time.We looked at each other for a second and then bursted into laughter."I wouldn't expect anything less from siblings who have been separated for a long time. I have no cause to judge." Mr Jonathan said nodding his head.Robert cleared his throat again before he continued. "Good. Now, Standulf you're late. Time is not on our hands, and where is Guendal?" Robert asked."She should be here shortly, I believe." Mr Jonathan answered."I am here, but you guys were having a weird brother sister love talk and I got uncomfortable, so I left to get something to eat. Did you know this world has a lot of good stuff, I crazy love the french fries and chips. Amazing stuff." Guendal said munching on a bag of chips."That th

After I got home that night, I still felt like I was on cloud 9 and did the most reasonable thing a girl would do in that situation.I called my best friend.Immediately I picked the phone, I briefed her about what happened, next thing I knew the line went dead and in less than 15 minutes AJ was standing in front of my room breathing heavily.We talked for hours that night, which was fun and eventually AJ had to sleep over that night. After we talked for a while she asked me the one question that I was scared of right now."What next?"It was scary because I didn't have the answer to that particular question. I mean, were we a thing now? Will he want to be with me publicly? What happens if Morgan finds out?A lot of questions that I didn't w

I looked around but couldn't pin point where the voice was coming from."Who are you and why am I here?" I asked.Out of nowhere a stage light shone down on me, I squirted my eyes immediately shielding them from the bright light."That is for me to know and for you to be patient." The voice said."I know it's you Altheda, there's no use hiding, if you want to fight come out, I'm not afraid of you anymore." I shouted."Oh, but you should, as yo

    *I took the next bus home still in a dilemma, there were so much questions that I wanted the answers to.Like, what did he mean by the power of a royal, why did my mother give me up? Was it really to save me or herself? I don't understand this big reveal on my 18th birthday they were all talking about?I was filled with so many questions but because of my anger I wasn't able to get any answers from them. Now they were only two people who would be able to answer my questions. Mom and Dad.I took the bus home and as usual when I got home mom and dad weren't home, I looked around and no one was home yet, not even Tyler.But I had already decided that no matter how late they were I was going to wait for them.I looked at the time, 11pm and they still weren't back home, Zack and Zoe came in early since they were at a friend's house but Tyler, Mom an

    * I ended up bribing Tyler to stay quiet about Ethan, not that it was a big deal, I just didn't want my parents to think there's anything going on between us and skipping school for me. My parent are suckers for a good teen romance story, I can't count how many times they binged watched Teen wolf and Twilight. Anyways, a week later my friend came over like we usually do each week and I got to review all their notes on the classes I missed the previous week. I eventually ended up with mostly Ace's and Jack's notes but in short we all had a great time together. It was already 9:15 when I and AJ finished our homework and AJ fell on my bed like someone who just ran a marathon. "It's just homework, you don't always have to be dramatic about it." I said placing the books in my backpack. "Just homework... That thing is another form of ment
