The Lost Truth - Chapter 2: The Parchment Pieces (by Tarana)

Anna couldn't believe her eyes. It opened! She finally managed to get it opened. She was a little nervous opening the draw, there was no stopping her now. She slowly opened the door and felt a click in her brain. It was unexpectedly messy inside, It was full of parchment paper everywhere. In the corner there was a dried up ink pot and next to it a quill. The only  neatest part of the drawer.

Anna looked with glittery eyes at the papers and with trembling hands she picked up one of them. It was crispy and old but it wasn't burnt like the ones in her dream. Just as she wanted to dig in further she heard a scream from Harley saying "I wanted to watch SpongeBob!" with a bellowing cry. Anna flinched and quickly shut the drawer and locked it making sure to take the papers with her and put the key back exactly where she found it.

She came running downstairs to see Tyler watching wrestling while Harley was on the floor, with the pillows and quilt back on the floor again, crying as though to mourn for someone's death.

Anna asked with panic, "What happened?" Tyler turned around, his innocent face portrayed that it wasn't his fault.
"He just started to cry after Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles finished. Something about watching Spongebob. I gave it to the channel and it finished while we were watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," Tyler explained, "so I changed it to the wrestling channel but he wouldn't stop crying," he added casually. Anna knew that Tyler didn't mean no harm, what would a 10 year old do at this point? Pretty much what Tyler did. She also knew that a 10 year old is still a child and would still want to have a lot of fun. So she smiled and went over to where Harley was and sat down on the same level as him.
"You want to build that fort again?" Anna asked and noticed that Tyler perked up with interest. Harley stopped crying and looked up at Anna with a glitter of hope with his twinkly red eyes.
"Really?" He asked with a trembling voice but still with some hope.
"Yes of course!" Anna said with enthusiasm and this tome Tyler just didn't sit back.
"I want to join." He said with curiosity. Anna smiled and made a mental note: To get the little brothers attention you just have to show them you can blend with what they would like too.
"Sure you can Tyler, just as long as you both play nice," she said with a stern but friendly tone, "and we can play in my room too we got lots of room there." They both were excited, Tyler instantly turned the TV off and both him and Harley ran upstairs with excitement. Anna gave a light chuckle and muttered to herself, "Oh kids, siblings especially." She got up to her feet and headed towards her bedroom.

Just as she was about to enter the room she remembered the pieces of papers in her pocket. She put her hand inside and took out all the pieces of papers in her pocket and was shocked at the content inside. How is she going to keep a straight face in front of her family after reading this? She needed to compose herself, and thought when she gets the time after her brothers go to bed she'll think about it.
