The Book of Life

Chapter 1

Start I sat and watched as my mom packed up the last box, she looked up at me and smiled "This move would be great for us Fallon, just a fresh start, something new" sighing I rolled my eyes, "Why should we move, dad wouldn't want us to" I could tell she got hurt when I said that, "Well dad is no longer with us, he wouldn't want us to stay grieving" "I'm pretty positive he wouldn't want us to move after only three weeks" she stood up and sat next to me, "We cant stay in this house, there's just way too many memories, it'll be hard. Especially sense he died in the house Fallon." Sighing I looked up at her, "Ok mom" she smiled softly, "Come help me put the last few things in the Uhaul." I stood up and helped her put the last few things away, as the last box went in, I looked back at the house one final time. The memories started to play in my head like little flashes. We've lived here my whole life, and I grew up here, I just can't believe we're leaving it all behind. My mom walked out the house and locked It behind her, putting the key under the mat. "Ready?" I slowly nodded my head, "Yeah"

We were a good hour or two on the road, my mom and I both agreed saying we could use something to eat. After a little more driving, she turned right on an exit and pulled up to a McDonalds, "We should use the bathroom while we're here" I nodded my head and got out the car. When I walked in I stood in line waiting to place my order, "Welcome to McDonalds, what can I get you today" "Oh um" I looked up at the menu, " I would like 2 spicy McChicken's, a medium fry, and a sprite please" she typed in my order and gave me my cup, "Your total will be $7.37" I gave her the money and went to fill up my drink, as I was doing so my mom walked up behind me. "You ordered already?" she asked, "Yeah, I'm going to go to the bathroom really quick" I handed my mom my receipt, so when they call my order number she can just grab my food.

As I was waking there a lady rushed out and bumped into me, "Excuse you!" I shouted, she looked back at me and ran out. I got into the bathroom and sat on of the toilet liners on the toilet, as I was doing so I seen something in a bag behind the toilet. I don't normally, pick things like that up but I did anyway, inside the bag was a big book, for some reason, it was covered in dust. I blew on it, and it revealed the title, "The Book of Life" I opened it and started to read the description, "This book is about the life of Fallon Washington, any changes made, will alter what is happening in the present, you only get to revert the changes five time. CHANGE AT YOUR OWN RISK." I heard the door open, "Fallon are you still in here?" I cleared my throat, "yeah, ill be out in a minute" "I'll be in the car" I placed the book back in the bag and quickly used the bathroom. I must find a way to hide this from her.

I ended up putting the book under my shirt, when I got outside, the lady that bumped I into me walked my way. "Do you have it?" she asked, "I have no idea what you're talking about" I tried to walk past her, but she grabbed my arm and yanked me towards her. "You have no idea what you've just done when you touch it, it learns your life. Past, Present, Future, everything. It is dangerous. I..I had to leave it for someone else, to pass on the curse" I yanked my arm away from her, "You're fucking crazy" I sped walked back to the car. "What was that about?" My mom asked while pulling out the parking lot, "Nothing..it was nothing"
