The Prophecy of Witches and Redheads (Day 1)

by Zoe in Illinois

Okay, here it is, Day 1. Again, hope you like it, please comment, bla bla bla... Really, though, I want to know if I should keep going.

Day 1
I write this from a shabby hotel near the center of a town called Besshil. All day my father, sister, and I drove through remote roads past what would be cornfields, but it is May so there is not corn. We passed many farms, with horses galloping in fences. There were sheep and cows as well. We got up at 5:oo this morning and drove until 9:00, so I am very tired. That can be imagined, huh? We only stopped at gas stations so rundown they looked abandoned. Twice Kim, my sister, begged Dad to leave because they spooked her. I rest easy now, and as soon as I close this diary I will sleep. I would guess my dreams will be of Azurton, the town that will be mine and that I have heard so much about. I am not looking forwards to it. Not because of the location. No, I will fell comfortable in the farmland and wilderness. Because of the rumors.

Day 1
The rain falls heavy from a cloudless sky. It is time. For what, I can only guess. I have heard about the prophecy the signs are leading to. That is true. However, I have not seen it, do not know what it contains. They will not tell me, either. Midori, Mother, Shiori, and even Tomoni have all been tight-lipped. I am not used to secrets. Well, at least not the ones kept from me. I am the queen of secrets, along with all my family. However, we only keep secrets from outsiders. We do not keep any from each other. Rather we did not. Obviously that has changed. I have expressed my dislike at them not telling me of the prophecy. They just sigh. I can do nothing but wait. Thunder cracks loudly, but over it is the bone-chilling cry of a raven. Even to me, it is frightening.
