Chapt. 1 - New Town, New School
Monday, August 28th, 2015
7:30 AM
Hi, my name is Black Licorice. It’d only been days since both my parents died, and now I’m living here, in Candyway. I hope I can meet someone in Candyway High who I can actually tolerate… everyone else here has been a little too cheerful for my taste. I was a “Goth,” as you could easily put it, and I haven’t talked to anyone since I moved here. Who takes care of me now? My Aunt. Well, I should be off to school, I can’t be late.
8:00 AM
I received my schedule and checked over it a few times before stuffing it into my locker and paying no mind to the fact that I was being watched. I got stared at alot back home, I shouldn’t expect it to be any different here. I just snapped, “Who are you staring at?!” and walked off to First Period - Phys Ed.
3:30 PM
The day was rather dull - all but Art Class, where we just sat and drew the whole period, something I actually enjoyed doing - and maybe Math. The teacher there was as silly as my mother was. Always joking around cheerfully and making jokes and references from video games or movies. There was a few teachers that I rather hated, so I didn’t pay attention during class and was sent to the office multiple times. On the first day of school. Sometimes I swear the teachers here are relentless.
10:00 PM
I’m going to bed now, as I finish this journal entry. I hope tomorrow will bring something more surprising.

Chapt. 3 - Intriguing Encounter
Tuesday August 29, 2015
7:30 AM
Today I’m excited. I’ve got a hunch that today will be exciting! I got up early, so I had time to write this journal entry before leaving for school. Being excited is a rare occasion for me, so I’ll have to make the best of it.
8:35 AM
I decided to sneak in a journal entry because I’m sitting on the sidelines and watching my brother play basketball against the other boys’ team. He returned from Assassins’ Camp yesterday (But everybody thinks he was just on vacation,) and I’m glad to see him play. He was always one of the best players on the team.
12:25 AM
I just talked to Chocoberry (Someone I met during Advisory, when I went to the Library) and it seems that we might end up being good friends. She’s not perky and jumpy all the time like the others (Discluding Sour Apple) and she’s rather nice. Oh - she’s coming over right now. I’ll write in here later.
4:56 PM
I’ve been asleep since I got home. I had a Dentist’s Appointment, and they put me asleep to work on my teeth. Turns out I was stil asleep after they finished, so Uncle Mike took me home. I was always afraid of Dentist’s, so I’m glad I was asleep.
9:59 PM
I just finished getting ready for bed, and I’m signing off this journal entry until tomorrow. I also thought of a sign-off to end these entries with.

~Yours in eternity, Black

Chapt. 5 - Savior
Sunday September 3rd, 2015
9:10 AM
Today’s the last day of the weekend - what a bummer. Blue and I were playing in the Park today, when some of the local bullies came over and tried to drag me off. Blue, protective as he is, was behind the one holding me almost instantly - and had a knife to the bully’s throat. A fit of giggles had burst from me. You don’t mess with my brother, or me, because we’re always there for eachother. In school, coincidentally, we have every class together - and we sit beside eachother in every class. I guess the good thing about High School is that the teachers couldn’t care less about assigned seats.
1:27 PM
We just got a complaint call from the mother of the bully we threatened. What a drag, Blue’s in trouble now. At least we;ll still be able to have our fun in school.
6:58 PM
I just made a drawing, and I’m so proud of it! It’s Blue, looking his most threatening I’ve ever seen him. I gave it to him, and he smiled and hugged me, and told me how good of an artist I was. I’ll always love Blue’s trusting, icy gaze.
9:16 PM
I just found something in the attic. I’ll have to investigate it more tomorrow. It’s a small, wooden box, but for some reason neither I nor Blue can get it open. There’s a weird marking on the front of it, too. I should get ready for bed before Aunt Lenora gets angry again.

~Yours in eternity, Black

Chapt. 7 - Meeting A Friend
Monday Sept. 4, 2015
6:15 AM
I got up early today and decided to write a journal entry. Blue’s been up since four-thirty, so he promised he wouldn’t tell. Then again, he wouldn’tve told anyways. I grabbed one of the curved, sharp knives that Blue gave me and practiced slashing a dummy target I made to look like one of the teachers from school. Then, I took the small arrowhead darts I made and aimed between the sewn-on button eyes. I pierced my target effortlessly. With a wild giggle, I stabbed the knife blade into the chest of the dummy and pulled it out, emptying fluff-stuffing onto the floor. Blue laughed approvingly.
I had a feeling that today was going to be good.
9:25 AM
I was surprised to find that the transfer student from Japan talked to me today, nonetheless spoke fluent English. “My name is Daniel Gales,” He introduced himself. I smiled shyly. Damn, was he cute!!! “I’m Black Licorice, but you can call me Black.” I introduced myself back, and Blue came out of the gymnasium. “Oh, it’s you, Dan! I see you’ve met my sis.” I smiled again. “She really is a charm to this happy-go-lucky place. Definately easier to get along with than the cheery folk.” I was surprised to find that Daniel thought almost exactly the way I did. “Want to come sit with me at lunch?” I asked, and he nodded. “I’ll come, too,” Blue said. “after all, little sis, I’ve gotta watch out for you.” “Naturally.”
7:49 PM
He. Asked. Me. Out. Daniel asked me out! And we’d only just met. I said yes, naturally - it was love at first sight! I had a good feeling about today - and I was right! He’s alot like Blue, but warm and caring.

~Yours in eternity, Black

Chapt. 9 - Something I Hadn’t Known
Tues. Sept 5th, 2015
9:34 AM
Turns out, Dan is an assassin, too. Better than Blue, even, surprisingly. During Phys Ed, we went out into the woods - in secret. The teacher hadn’t known we vanished temporarily, but we returned before the period ended. Dan slashed a tree in half with only three swings from his knife - and damn, is he fast!
12:36 PM
Dan and Blue decided to teach me assassination techniques. I’m so excited!
5:57 PM
I just learned alot of assassination techniques. I can move quickly like Dan, and strike with as much power as Blue. They were surprised by my progress - but I’ve always been a fast learner.

~Yours in eternity, Black

Chapt. 11 - First Mission
Wed Sept. 6th, 2015
4:56 AM
“What?! I have to kill someone?” My brother and Dan had just told me everything. I’m an assassin now. “Well, isn’t this… exciting.” My voice then had twisted into a demonic sort of way. Dan grinned. “Let’s go. We have school today - we have two and a half hours until we need to be back here.”
We’d leapt out of the window, landing flawlessly on the fencepost like cats. Then, we slunk around town until we found the house that our victim would be in. I checked my watch. 5:05 AM. “I’m going in. You two wait out here until I get back. If there’s trouble, run. I can take care of myself.” I honestly couldn’t control it at this point - the bloodlust. Within moments, I came back outside with the victim’s head in my palm. Blue and Dan both approved with wild grins, and we returned home.
4:50 PM
Today wasn’t too eventful, other than what happened thismorning. I hope that, if Chocoberry finds out, she won’t hate me.

~Yours in eternity, Black
