Chalkboard

When she got to the room the book started to open by itself! She was scared. She thought the book was going to take her somewhere but she didn't know where. Instead a girl came out of the book. The girl had really long hair. It was this nice red color. She looked like she was about 20 years old. Lia couldn't stop looking at her hair. She was like a princess.

In 1992 a girl named Lia was moving houses. Her dad, Peter was her only parent. Her mom died of a car crash when she was six. Now she's 16 and her dad had always been there for her. Lia did not think her mom died. She still believed her mom is somewhere in the world where she could find her. Dad had a book, A special book nobody had ever opened.

She went into his bathroom. Lia kept looking for the book but she didn't see it. She&nbsp;could hear dad coming in the bathroom. Lia had to do something before her dad came in! Then she had an idea. She didn't know if it would work. She had her phone with her so she called her dad. It worked! Her dad went to get the phone and she crawled back to her room.

All dad said was, “NEVER open the book!” She got mad because no one was allowed to open the book. She didn't know why she couldn't open the book and she was so desperate to open the book. It was like the book was calling for her.

The girl said, “I am here to take you somewhere else. This place is not safe for you." Lia was confused. She tried getting more information from the girl before something happened. The girl looked like she was in a hurry...like someone needed her. Lia was so overwhelmed she fainted. When she woke up, it looked like she was back in time. She was alone. The people were dressed very fancy. She could tell they were all going to the same place.

One day she set her alarm to 3am...the middle of the night when nobody would be awake. When it was time, she got out of her bed and tip-toed to her dad's room. She was trying to find the book. She was looking under dad's bed when she saw a bug and screamed, “AHHH!” It almost woke her dad. She had to hurry. She didn't want him to find her because he would ban her from coming into his room.
