Prelude
333 Words
I have to prepare my mind and prepare the things that I will need. I packed everything in the bag that was Eilif. I took my diary, a flashlight, handkerchief, bracelet, the yarn, and a bag of pebbles— so I will have something to throw when needed. Mr. Albrert said I should do this undercover. They should never suspect that I already know. I looked at the clock and it's almost bedtime. I cleaned myself and readied myself to sleep. I know they will check on me anytime soon so I have to be 'asleep' when they do.
I sat on my bed, keeping alert and on guard at all times. There are many people I can't trust here, in the Fletcher's mansion. I gathered and packed everything I’ll need in the satchel that eilif gave me; I took my diary, a flashlight, handkerchief, bracelet, the yarn, and a bag of pebbles I got from the garden, as a way of defense when I needed it. Mr. Albert said that I should never tell anyone about this, especially not the Fletchers.
My body faced down in my bed while I wrote the things that happened. I heard footsteps walking towards my room, so I hurried and put my diary under the pillow. I went under the sheets and pretended to be asleep. As I was expecting, Mrs. Hudson opened the door and checked. I know because my right eye is slightly opened. As soon as she made sure that I'm here, she left the room. I stood up to check the time to write in my diary. It's 10pm. I was writing this then a thought crossed my mind. Have they always done this? Checking if I'm asleep? I usually sleep early at around 9 pm, I never noticed until now. I have to keep an eye on that.
Despite not having a sense of privacy and security, luckily I still managed to have some sleep.
Tomorrow I will continue my search.
