Hello!

It's my second diary entry.

It's morning now. I just had my breakfast. Today we ate bread with bean paste and tomatoes. I missed tomatoes, bacause they don't grow in the forest. In the forest we ate mushroom soup almost everyday, sometimes we ate berries.

I'm in the room alone now. Dad went to look for a job. He said we need more money.

Normally I would complain that I have to sit inside all day, but now I have a diary and I can write.

Dad said I should write a letter to Kenny in my diary and I will feel better, so here it is:

Dear Kenny!

How are you? I am okay, but I wish I was back in Sonewick. Dalcumdon is boring.

I'm sorry I left without saying goodbye. Dad didn't let me say goodbye to you or anyone.

I left because I am a shapeshifter. I never told you, because I didn't know too. I have never shifted. Dad said only grown-ups can shift. So I don't know my animal form yet.

My dad is a shapeshifter and my mom was one too, that's why she was killed. Did you know my mom was killed? I miss her the most.

It's weird to think all humans hate me, I thought I was a human. I hope you wouldn't hate me anyway.

I don't know if we ever meet again, but I hope we do.

I miss you,

Desmond from Sonewick

PS: That's not my real name, you know? My real name is Desmond from the Ocean because I was born on a boat, in the middle of the Ocean. Dad told me about that a few weeks ago, I didn't know before.

Bye,

Desmond from the Ocean
