Mia’s Diary of Spooky Stories

The Tenth Day of the Third Month

I had sauteed lamb with cheese for dinner today.

☆☆

The meat melted in my mouth. It was very good. But the ambermoon tomatoes were a little tough. Minus one point.

The Twelfth Day of the Third Month

I had sandwiches for lunch today.

☆

The filling was made of five types of berry jam. It was sweet and tasty. The shape was boring though. No imagination. Hard to be impressed by these after my own brilliant idea of horse-shaped sandwiches. Minus two points.

The Seventeenth Day of the Third Month

I had freshly baked mushroom pie for dinner today.

☆☆☆

The pie crust was deliciously crisp and flaky. I should make one for Prince Abel. Need to remind myself to go ask for the recipe.

The Nineteenth Day of the Third Month

Today, I heard the worst thing from Miss Rafina. Something about secret societies and Chaos Serpents and stuff like that. Ugh, just give me a break already.

But the empire might be in danger again because of them, so letting them run free isn’t an option, either. Something needs to be done... Whatever it is, I sure hope someone will do it.

I think I need some sort of guide. Like that diary from before. Which reminds me, I remember reading something in a book that was in the library...

The Twentieth Day of the Third Month

Today, I saw a creepy shadow in the library. What in the moons was that? Maybe I was just seeing things.

It might be dangerous, so I’d better tell Anne to stay close to me as often as possible. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be safe for Anne...

The Twenty-First Day of the Third Month

I couldn’t figure out what that shadow in the library was. Anne came with me to investigate the place where it appeared yesterday, but we didn’t find anything.

I must have been seeing things then. I’ve decided to stop thinking about it.

Just in case though, I told Anne to stay close to me. Better safe than sorry. I can’t afford to have Anne be in danger.

The Twenty-Second Day of the Third Month

The stain on the wall looks like a face. It’s looking at me. I can’t sleep. I know I can’t, but for some reason, whenever I open my eyes, it’s morning. There’s something strange going on. I wonder if it has anything to do with the spooky shadow I saw in the library?

Maybe I should talk to Miss Rafina about it.

Just to be safe, I asked Anne to cover the stain with a cloth so it can’t see anymore. Otherwise, it’d keep staring. I’m fine with it, but I’m sure Anne would be scared.

If I’d known it’d be like this, I would have gone home to Tearmoon. Ludwig probably doesn’t believe in ghosts. I could have talked to him, and he would have rolled his eyes and told me to calm down because ghosts don’t exist. That would be nice.

The Twenty-Third Day of the Third Month

I’m worried about Anne, so starting tonight, I’ve decided to sleep with her in the same bed.

The thought that the ghost might show up and gobble up Anne has been keeping me up at night. This way, I can finally get some sleep. Now that she’s beside me, she probably feels safer too. This is killing two birds with one stone. What a great idea!

The Third Day of the Fourth Month

School is starting soon. It’s going to get busy again.

That spooky shadow thing never did show up again. I guess I really was just seeing things. I also took a good look at the stain on the wall. It’s just three spots in a funny shape. How did that ever look like a face? I swear, Anne’s such a scaredy-cat.

Anyway, I decided to go back to sleeping in my own bed.

I mean, if anything happens, I’ll still be right beside her, so it should be okay. Right, Anne?
