Desmond from the Ocean

Hello! My name is Desmond from the Ocean and this is my diary. I am writing because today is my birthday and dad gave me this notebook and pen. My dad's name is Jude. Dad said: If I write diary, I will learn faster. So I am going to write about myself. My name is Desmond and I am 7 years old. My favorite colour is blue. But I like green and the sea colour too. Sea colour is like green and blue and brown, but it's see-through. I don't have any sisters or brothers and I don't have mom, because bad people killed my mom. My mom was very beautiful and nice. She died half a year ago. My best friend was Kenny, but now I don't have friends. Kenny lives in Sonewick and he was my neighbour. I lived in Sonewick too. When mom was killed we had to leave and I can't see Kenny anymore. Dad said: If we don't leave, they'll kill us too. I think Kenny wouldn't kill me, but dad won't let me meet him anyway. Now we are in Dalcumdon. Dalcumdon is smaller than Sonewick. There is only one shop there. And no libraries. And no sea. But there are houses and I can sleep on a bed. Before we were sleeping in the forest and we had to walk everyday. I am sitting in our room now. We don't have our own house here, we are living in someone else's house and we only have one room and one bed. But at least it's warmer than in the forest. Dad doesn't let me play with other kids. I promised I won't tell them anything, but dad says I'm too little and I will tell. And we will go away soon, so we won't be friends. We will go away, but not back to the forest. It's too cold. Dad said we will be travelling. I want to go back to Sonewick, but dad said we have to go far far away. Why is it all like that? Because we have a secret. We are shapeshifters. I will write tomorrow more, because now is dinner time and I have to go.
