• A young girl raced foreward with all her strength.She looked back,and saw the creature that was chasing her,and the evil glimmer in the creature's eyes.She ran faster,trying to outrun it.It gained speed,and continued to chase her-whatever it was.She then turned around,only to have to stop abruptly.She stood on the edge of a cliff.Below,there was water,but there were also jagged rocks.The creature came closer,the evil form of it coming ever closer to kill her.She looked back at the cliff,debating whether to jump.The creature came closer.Finally,she made up her mind.The creature was almost at her back now,and she knew it was now or never.She held her breath,and lept off the cliff into the waters below...

    The alarm clock sounded,and Rinko Ayakashi awoke,seemingly in a daze.She looked at it."6:00?!Geez...talk about your rude awakenings....."She groaned.She slammed her hand down on the alarm clock and got up.She went to the kitchen,and poured herself some fruit loops,and munched sleepily on the sweet rainbowey O-shaped cereal.Ater breakfast,she washed up.She pulled on her school uniform,an pulled her black mane of hair into a pony tail.She slipped on her walking shoes,grabbed a piece of gum and her bookbag,and headed out the door.
    She got to the train station,and barely made her train.She sat down and looked out the window.It was a gloomy day in tokyo.She shivered.It was never usually that cloudy."Could this be some kind of omen?"she muttered to herslef.She then shook her head in disbelief,and looked on as they entered the station where she would be getting off.
    After a few minutes,the train pulled into the station,and she got off.She looked up so she wouldn't hit anyone,and saw a dark clothed,evil-looking figure standing near the escalator.Avoiding eye contact,she went up the escalator,and quickly glanced back.The dark-clothed figure was following her. Her heart started pounding.She walked to school.The dark figure was still following her.She sped up,and so did he."Why is he following me?"She thought.She was shaking,and sweating out of fear.She started to run.the figure started fast walking.Eventually, Rinko made it to school.She looked back-the dark figure was gone.
    "What's going on?"She whispered.She hadn't realised that she was shaking violently. As she walked to her class from the lockers,she fell on her face.Everyone started laughing at her.She picked up her bookbag,and walked to her class,her face a bright scarlet color.

    The classes seemed as usual-turn in work,go over a new lesson,take notes,then free time.At lunch,Rinko went to the quad area.She needed a quiet place to mull things over.As she sat down,she noticed a peculiar book that someone had thrown into the bushes.Thinking it was a textbook,she went and picked it up.It was nothing like a textbook-it was a notebook with a gold and silver color,jewel encrusted front.She looked at the message on the cover.It was written in Latin.Because she had studied it,she was able to translate the message.

    "Ye who dream of unreality,may thine words be forever preserved,and reality come forth from fantasy.And may unwanted realities that come from thine dreams be destroyed by thine own hand."

    At the thought of this,Rinko scoffed."Some dorky children's diary?Psh."She said.She set it down,and was going to leave it,when she remembered the dark figure.The bell rang to return to class from lunch.Rinko looked back at the book,debating on whether to take it...
