I don't buy Lily yet. Someone scared enough to go silent all this time doesn't just walk into the moonlight at night unless somebody sent her. My money says she's already part of it.

Chapter 6 โ€” The Footsteps

Tok.

Tok.

Tok.

Mia froze.

The footsteps had stopped.

Noah whispered, โ€œDid you hear that?โ€

Another sound came from behind the trees.

Tok.

Tok.

Tok.

Mia held the second diary tightly.

Then a figure stepped into the moonlight.

It was Lily.

โ€œMia?โ€

For several seconds, neither girl moved.

โ€œYou're alive,โ€ Mia whispered.

Lily nodded.

โ€œBut I never disappeared.โ€

โ€œThen why did you stop talking to me?โ€

Lily looked at the two diaries.

โ€œBecause someone told me that if I contacted you, you'd become part of it too.โ€

โ€œPart of what?โ€

Lily's face went pale.

โ€œThe Tomorrow Project.โ€

    Mia gripping the second diary harder the moment the footsteps stop says a lot. My guess is she trusts that diary more than she trusts Lily right now, and she has reasons.

    Okay the Tomorrow Project having an actual name makes it so much creepier. Was that name planned back when you wrote chapter 1?

    Lily turning up and saying she never disappeared flips everything, because now the real mystery is who has been telling Mia the story all along. I bet whoever warned Lily off is someone Mia already trusts, maybe the same person behind the second diary. Those three knocks before she steps out had me reading faster :)

    Lily strolling out of the trees to announce she never went missing, after ghosting Mia for five whole chapters. The audacity ๐Ÿ’€
