I haven't looked at my journal in years now, everyone seems to have forgotten about it. So I dug it out from the back of my shelf and brushed off the dust. I opened it up and felt my coração drop into my stomach. Where had all my little people gone?

Niyati was no where to be seen, Aednat was gone as well. But a new red-hair in her place, short and only slightly temperamental, Defiantly NOT from Ireland.

I looked around in a panic Olivia, gone.

Molly? She's gone too...

Quinn? She's no where in the pages.

It's like they were all figments of my imagination, They had simply left the pages of my book.

But, wait. A small cry comes the last page of the journal. I turn there quickly to see all my little people crying in the fold of the page. They looked at me and screamed in a panic, they knew nothing of me anymore. They thought I was a monster.

"No, no my little people. Please come out, please do not hide from me. I'm friend. How do you forget me?" I begged them, I begged them till I couldn't breathe.

Olivia, she looked just about dead, Aednat was taking out her confusion on a strange pencil mark in the book. Niyati and Molly sat together shaking in fear. Quinn was hiding her face, she didn't even want to look at me.

What had become of my journal? Why did I leave it alone for all these years? My people are on the verge of death. I don't know how to save them.

I can't call any one, not April, Not Elk, nor Cole or Sora. All long abandoned their journals, they hardly glanced at them anymore. But sitting here looking at my little people, scared, angry, confused...dying.

I knew I had to do something, I thought maybe to throw it out. Let them die off and pretend I never owned them. But I couldn't let it happen, I wrapped the note book in a nice blue bow and smoothed out the pages. I decided to save my little people. Even if it meant going back to the start.
