February/things got strange

School started one again like every other day, but what made this day weird was during history. Miss H had handed us papers that was part of our homework. Miss H told us that we should past this in our book and so we all did, but then one of the girls in the class got a paper cut. All of a sudden two of my other class mates stood up and exited rhe class room. Out of my curiosity I ask Miss H why they left. She only gave me the dumbest answer and it was that they couldn't stand the sight of blood. I just knodded my head and help dress my other class mates wound. As the day passed all was good and well. When i got home I asked my mother if I could go to the local library to brush up on some of the towns history.

As I got to the library, I went to the head librarian and i asked her if i may see the town records for when the town was firts founded. She had then kindly asked me what i needed this set of information for. I told her politely that it was for a school project. She then with no hassetasion directed me to the some of the very first town records and many of the first majors dairies. I first started going through the towns founders and their families. I also looked through some of the important people and founder's family trees. All of this seemed not to show any suspicion. I then went through the majors diary logs and the population logs of the town as well. The majors logs were all normal. The population also increases at a slow and steady pace. After searching through five years of logs, thats when it started to get strange. The majors enties started consist more and more of three new families that had entered the town. He wrote in one of the entries, that some of the people are disappearing from town. He also wrote that some would return 3 weeks prior to their disappearances.

He would question those mentally well enough to describe to him where they and what they had seen. The answers of the men and women were different. The woman said that they saw handsome men and had a few moments of conversations. After they had left to then return home, last things they could remember was feeling a sharp pain at the back of there head. The men explained that when they would return form a hunt they would hear a woman cry in the forest. The said they would search the woods for an hour and then they would find this beautiful woman sitting on the river bend. They said would ask her what the problem was. The woman always said the she lost a pendant that her father gave her. After the men would find it the woman would give him a kiss of gratitude and that would be the last thing they remember before they woke up in the middle of the forest.

It started to get late and I had to return home befor my mother thought something had happened to me. I knew that i could check out the records, wich was very obvious. I then took some of the records to the main desk and asked the librarian to keep them for me because i would be back tomorrow. Being the curious personi am, I took photos and took notes on some of the things i found important and kept notes on the page I last had read. I gathered my bag and note book. As I went out of the library ground, I had the feeling that I was being watched and followed. When I got home safely the feeling of relief rushed over my body. I told my mother the weird thing i found of our new towns history. She just looked at me with pride in knowing that her daughter was so curious and said that I should be careful on what secrets I try to uncover and that they might get me into much more trouble then I was bargaining for.

The next day that I went to school. I felt strange aroung too of my class mates, Gishla and Edith. The same two that had left class yesterday. During lunch time Gishla came to where i was sitting and she sat right infront of me. I greeted her although i didn't like the atmosphere that was ib the air. I was busy reading through the notes when she ask me what i was doing

Me

Gishla

"Just brushing up on some history"

"It looks like your really into that work"

"Well I love my history and its something i am curios about it"

"Well sometimes digging into history could get jou into trouble"

"I am ready to face the trouble I get into for knowing the truth"

Just beforr she stood up and left, she said something that sent a chill down my spin."the truth had many sides. Just be careful on which side you pick new girl". Those bothered me the whole day. I didn't know what she meant by them. If her intention was to scare me, then i might have worked. Only just a little bit, to be honest. I wasn't going to listen to those threats

After school i got read to go to the library one more time before the weekend. As i was about leave the house, j checked my phone to see if the battery live wad still good but it was about to die. I didn't need my phone so i left my phone to charge and i wrote my mother a note, telling that ill be at the library and that I'll be back befor five.

I dot to the library and went strait to the town records. I started where i left off and this was where the truth started to leak throu the cracks
