Book 4 [dictated/written]
Yesterday I stumbled across this document in the library. Initially I dismissed it as a loose scrap of paper from a diary. However, I believe it is necessary to show it's contents, as they seem relevant to the situation at hand. After all, some believe that there are no coincidences, only fate.

Kids are going missing. Everyone's worried; we don't know what the castle is doing. My neighbours had a little girl back home so they've been extra protective. They offered to keep an eye on my cousin if I need to step out for even a moment, and I thanked them but said no. She's my responsibility here, and I'd never forgive myself if she disappeared when I left her with a babysitter. They were really unsure about it, but I guess that's because they know what it's like to lose a kid.
Deema's been having nightmares, though. I think she's just worked up over this kids going missing thing. I've been trying to keep the news away from her, because I don't want her to think she's "next" or something cryptic like that, but she knows anyway.
Never mind, the other kids are having nightmares, too.
