17-year-old transfer student Jim Crocodile Cook walks into the room where he was sharing with Axel and the small 15-year-old Ren Isuzu, now Ren Isuzu Brodie, as he came across a shelf of old journals that belonged to Ren.

Curiosity got the best of him as he picked up the first one and flipped open the journal and it had the small handwriting that belonged to Ren.

Ren Isuzu's Journal: 1
I am writing this because I want to look back at the good memories or anyone else can read it.

Jim smiles at the cute handwritten message of the journal before flipping to the first page and began to look at the small drawing.

It was cute...but it felt off as he read the first entry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Entry 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mommy and Daddy left me at this odd place where a nice lady took me in and I saw other kids there, I was the shy girl that never liked to talk to people to talk to me before I got a chance to speak.

I always liked drawing by myself and it calms me down whenever I get nervous about other things, I tend to be jumpy at the little things that scared me but I swear, something is there to get me.

One day, this nice lady came in with a man that looked like he could be from the military which scares me.

The lady said that she was looking for a kid for their son to never be alone and isolated from anyone else, I didn't know what to do, I was just reading a bit on my bed and the walls were a bit thin but I could hear them talking.

Before I could even finish the book I was reading, the nice lady from earlier with the lady of the place I was in came in and began talking to me and I began to talk a bit as the lady came up and told me I was getting a new home, all I could do was give a small nod.

I was packing up my things I was left with, small journals and color pencils and the small white kitten I found under my bed alone, I called her Meadow.

Meadow meowed at me as I held her in my arms before walking outside and seeing their car, it looked like one of those jeeps the military would use but I wouldn't have any trouble getting in.

The ride was long and Meadow was already asleep in my lap as I stared out the window, I already read the books I had and I didn't want to draw in the car because it would be messy.

We arrived at my new home which was a two story home and it looked simple, I noticed a backyard out in the back.

I held onto Meadow who was still asleep as I grabbed my luggage and walked inside before inspecting the house, it looked simple and one of those houses in the 90's or 2000's but it didn't matter.

I had a new home, and I new family.

I noticed that there was a boy about 2 or 3 years older than me looked at me like a hawk. I didn't like how he was looking at me like a hawk.

I waved to him a bit and he waved as well, he came up to me and began asking me: "Are you my new sister?" And I answered with a nod and a small smile.

He smiled and said: "Welcome." I gave a small smile and he lead me to his room, it wasn't that small and it wasn't that big, part of the room used to be a classroom that was reused for the room I was in.

He told me his name was Axel Brodie.

I saw one of those computers in the room with the type of monitors hooked up to it and the desk was big enough to even do work on there.

I was given the top bunk of the bed so Axel could have some space and his own personal space and the ladder had only six steps and it wasn't that high and it wasn't that low to reach the ceiling to hit my head when I woke up.

There was a power socket on the ceiling on my bunk and I could reach it, it used to be where teachers could plug in the projectors and show some images for the students.

When I set Meadow on the bed, I noticed that Axel had something in his hand and thought he was gonna hit me but he pushed my hair back and had a hair clip in his hand so I could see easier.

I felt welcomed here.

That night, I slept in my new bed before waking up in the middle of the night to go to get a drink of water before I heard something in the hallway like bones clattering in one of those cartoons but it sounded near and I had one of those flashlights in my hand so I could see better.

And then I saw what was making the noise...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jim turned the page to see something disturbing from the image he saw.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is was...moving slowly and the cracking and turning made me almost puke at the sight before it turned its head and looked at me.

I stopped dead in my tracks...what do I do?

Scream? No, it would mean trouble...I ran.

I grabbed a camera and took a picture of it and it was my chance to run as fast as I could back into my room before closing the door and locking it as I shook Axel awake telling him something was in the hall as we both heard the same cracking of the bones of the creature as I felt Axel hold his hand over my mouth and shushing me.

I felt like screaming and crying but I couldn't scream since Axel had his hand over my mouth, I was very scared what do we do?

Then, me and Axel fell asleep as we heard the creature leaving.

None of us asked the adults if they heard anything last night before I broke and told them about last night.

The adults stopped and looked at me with worry in their eyes before Axel broke down crying as well, Mr. Brodie, I wasn't ready to call him dad yet, told me that what I had saw, was something called 'long horse'.

I could never forget what happened that night or what I saw.

Mr. Brodie walked up to me and asked if I used his camera last night and I nodded.

He showed me the photo and asked me if that was the Long Horse I saw and I nodded, then he patted my head and smiled.

I smiled as well, he told me that whatever happened, write down my encounters or what happened in my journals.

And I promised I will.

My name is Ren Isuzu Brodie, and this is my story of how I encountered the 'long horse'.
