Lavender Blue's Bones

The Bones of Lavender Blue
Dear diary,
Today while I was out walking, I found a mysterious pile of bones. As I approached them I felt sudden sadness wash over my body. I don’t know if I should tell anyone, or if I should just keep it to myself. All I know is that every now and then I think I hear the voice of a small child saying “HELP ME!” I don’t know if I do or maybe I am just paranoid. Ahhh.... what to do, should I try to help? Should I tell someone? Should I go back and see if the bones are still there tomorrow? Should I just forget about them? Should I try to find out where they came from?

I don’t know, my head hurts yours sincerely Dayna

The Bones of Lavender Blue
Dear Diary,
The bones are yellowing, and some are missing. It looks like something or someone has dug them up, and left them there for me to find. I know that sounds silly, but what if something or someone has put these bones there intentionally so that I would find them. What if they want me to help them? I am really weirded out now. Why am I getting so worked up about this, it’s not as if I believe in spirits or anything like that? I will check the cemetery tomorrow for any signs that a grave has been dug up recently. Yes that’s what I will do.
Yours sincerely Dayna

The Bones of Lavender Blue
Dear Diary,
OMG! I went to the cemetery today and found that the grave of Lavender Blue has been disturbed. The headstone has been cracked, and the voice of the child, (who I have now discovered is a girl) was more distinct and was asking me for help, to put the bones back and replace the headstone so that she could R.I.P. So that’s exactly what I did. Although every now and then I feel a rush of unhappiness come over me, but it doesn’t bother me that much. I am also a little bit disappointed that it wasn’t more of a mystery. Oh well!! I guess that’s my excitement for now.
Yours sincerely Dayna

The Bones of Lavender Blue
Dear Diary,
Almost a year after I found the bones of Lavender Blue. I think I have finally cracked the mystery behind her death. I was going through a pile of old news papers in the attic today and I found an article about a horrific accident:
"A life changing event occurred yesterday, that has changed the lives of many people. A simple last minute trip before going on a family holiday turned into a nightmare."
Then it went on about the family and their history. Then this is the bit that really helps me to realise what happened to Lavender Blue and her family:
"The town mayor was a well respected man and well liked amongst everyone. His death has come as a shock and has been described as a true mystery with no evidence of another vehicle being involved. It has been said that the mayor and his wife died instantly."
The ghost of Lavender Blue appeared in the attic at that moment I jumped in shocked. She then told me that:
"she couldn’t believe that this had happened. She was more upset because she and her father had just stated to get along after months of fighting."
As quick as the ghost had appeared it disappeared. I then later found another newspaper article about Lavender Blue's death:
" 3 months after her parents death Lavender was tragically killed in a car accident while going to visit her beloved grandmother. It is thought that these to accidents are linked and police are asking for any witnesses to come forward. "
I had finally figured out who Lavender Blue really was phew well I have to go and see what other mysteries I can stumble across.Hmmm I wonder if the ever did solve that case oh well I think I should just get on with my life for now.
Yours Sincerely Dayna
P.S I still haven't told anyone about this and I am not planing on telling anyone ever, because, mum and dad are both to stressed about work, my brother would think I am stupid and all of my friends are to busy to listen. Even I know it's a big secret for a 14 year old girl but why should I worry anybody else with this problem beside they would probably call me childish and tell me to grow up.
