Secrets
Hi, I'm Chhaya. I'm Indian and I moved to India around 3 years ago. Now my black cat follows me everywhere. Almost like a shadow… She likes to follow me and she is connected to me by spirit. You see we share the same energy and so we are connected. I used to have a dog connected to me but she sadly died because I always fell on rocks people put in my way. When she died I got sadder and thus got Daya as my soul energy pet. I wish Anya (my old energy pet) was still my energy pet. I just do not like cats! Anyways I have to keep Daya a secret because energy pets are rare and aren't accepted. Anya was so brave and strong, she could fight off all of the bad guys. She was like *BANG* and I was like *BAM* !!!! So yeah it was pretty cool. I don't think anyone else at my school has an energy pet. but how would i know no one else is supposed to know you have a pet. My family knows that I have an E.P (energy pet). My old Energy pet had soft, silky, pale white fur and eyes as dark as midnight blue. Her gorgeous heart was as loving as the sun's love for day and the squirrel's love for nuts. Her following steps were as quiet and beautiful as the Earth's most gorgeous things. I went to school the next day to realise it was "bring your pet to school". I had forgotten and I didn't know what to do. Before school started a dog just like Anya appeared next to me, except she wasn't an Energy pet she was A REAL DOG!!!!! I gasped with shock! The bell rang and I took Anya to class. I gave her a soft scratch behind her small ear and patted her till we got to class. Everyone else had cats and Anya growled fiercely at the 16 felines surrounding her. Her sharp teeth showed, the felines and my classmates stepped back. She had to go into a cage next to me and I had to sit at the back of the class, alone. When the lesson was over we were to present our pet's to the class. All of the cat presentations were so boring and even Anya was bored. When it was our turn Anya behaved and our presentation was very interesting. Soon when the day was done I went home with Anya by my side. When we got home Daya was gone and Anya was now an E.P! I was so excited. On the weekend we went to London and I got to bring Anya with me.

Sadness
I woke up after my trip to London and didn't see Anya. Her fluffy paws weren't by my side. I felt grief, guilt and sadness wash over me all at the same time. Is she dead? Again? I shake my head trying to get it out of thought. I tell my Dad I'm not going to school and he automatically understands. I spend the day searching for her but Anya is nowhere to be found, the sun sets as I start to panic. My heart races as the sun looks like it's going down faster. Night hits and my worry for Anya keeps me awake all night. My family tries to reassure me but nothing works. I can't go to sleep and I feel so sad. I cry. I cried myself to sleep and in the morning I woke up with a thought. If I can't find Anya then maybe she's an actual spirit. I close my eyes and start to think….. Suddenly I see Anya, she is sitting next to me and is snuggling up against me. I pat her and when I open my eyes she is there. she can now go in and out of my spirit! I jump with joy and clap my hands. We spent the day together having tons of fun. I went to bed that night with Anya by my side. The next day I woke up with such a big smile on my face and presents wrapped up. No it's not my birthday… it's Anya's! She finally turned ten 1 month and 5 days after me.

Anya's journey
I am just so excited. I pat her fluffy coat and she understands the date. I go to school with a big smile on my face. Some teachers ask why I'm smiling. I respond with "It's my ummm DOGS…. B,day!!!!" . Ok maybe i should have said that quieter because I got detention after school. Anya sat with me, her annoyed face looking right at me. "Sorry!" I say. And just to let you know, no one else can see her. We went back home and ate dinner. Roti bread, YUM, my and Anya's favorite. We eat and go to sleep with a happy look on our faces.I wake up and see breakfast already served. I look at the time and…. OH NO! It's almost time for school. I touch my breakfast and it seems room temperature. I panic and so does Anya. We quickly get dressed and ready for school. I drop Anya off at the secret energy pet play centre and head to school. The bell rings right when I enter class and I act like I was early. OH NO! (again) I have forgotten my english textbook and I have homeroom then english! I quickly run back home and when I just exit the doors Anya appears in my mind and drops them off physically. I run back to class, bow down to apologize for being late then sit down to read. I read the secret, mysterious Champbell society. It's all about mystery and comics so I love it. After homeroom English is a breeze because I remembered my book and I get to see the answers to correct my test. The tests are laid out for each week which makes it a lot easier to see the answers other than searching each question online. Now that school is done I take Anya home. We have dinner then head to bed. When I wake up Anya doesn't. I try to shake her awake but nothing works. I started to cry. Her soft fur that warms up my skin is making me cry more as our great memories come back. I sob, more than I ever have before. My heart sinks as I close my eyes to see if she's a spirit but maybe left her body behind. I close my eyes, but I don't see her. Tears start to pour out as I realise the horrible truth. Anya is gone. My heart feels like it's lost a very special part and my life will never be the same

. I made her funeral the same day and I wore all white to represent her crystal white fur. My whole family (well me, my little brother Thomas, my mama and my dada) attend. It's packed and I get to miss out on school (again) YAY! Score! Anyways the funeral is tragic and sad so the rest of my family wears black. Even my Dad and my mama cried. Ok I mean I can cry, but them?!So Anya might not be dead gone but maybe she is. My heart still feels sorrow and Elena (who is Mexican) knows about energy pets and that I have had one. She has one too. Woah I'm making A LOT of spelling mistakes! Anyways Elena couldn't make Anya's funeral because she was visiting her grandpappy as she calls him. At school, yesterday I met up with Elena and we got to do 5 classes together. We have 6 classes in the school day. We didn't get to be with each other in the library which is the place to talk whisper. So we were both sad. It started to rain halfway through lunchtime so we got to go into the sports hall. I get home and go straight to bed. No dinner. This is one entry into this book so don't get your hopes up 'cos there's more!

I got to tour him around the school. I had to tour him around the school even though I didn't deserve a punishment that cuts into free time. So yeah that's a bad start to make us friends. But something seemed familiar about him. Was it his hair, or maybe his skin or was it his eyes that made me think of someone I used to know. His name was Damya. He came up to me after P.E and said "Hey Chhaya." Umm how in the whole entire world does he know my name!!! Anya growled at him but I ignored. My face is so shocked I gasp! oh no such a big deal (sarcastic)! "Oh and if you're wondering how I know your name I used to know you and you know me…" "what are you talking about I do NOT know you!" I said with no thought at all. "Think of my name,'' he said with a grin on his face. "see if you'll remember who I am." he said as he stroked his black hair. I went back home and thought about who he might be. Suddenly Anya said something. "Maybe Look at the facts." she said. So I thought of them. Well he likes cats, he has black hair, his name is Damya and he knows me… Suddenly I thought of someone. Daya!!! I shouted so loud my family heard me from the kitchen which by the way was on the other side of our house.
I will continue this when School starts on monday. Hi, Anya and I have just figured out that the new kid "Damya" is actually Daya, my old energy pet. We need to find a way to make him forget me or get kicked outta town! The next day of school I run up and say "hi!" "hey I know you!" "Who am I then Chhaya?" "you're Daya!" I whisper to his face. "Oh, so you've figured out who I am.' People look at us. "What are you talking about?!?" 'Your Damya!" We walk into the back of the school hall during P.E. I ask why he wants to be at this school. And he responds with a nice "because I want revenge….." REVENGE!!! WHY DOES HE WANT REVENGE!!!!! because I changed my energy! Or what?!?! He sees my confused face and says… "umm you pretty much dumped me for that dumb dog!" "Anya is not dumb! and I did not dump you. Anya came back mysteriously when school started and I made a new friend! She came because I was happy and I changed my energy!" "ewww don't you realise you need me! You are nothing without me…. I know everything about you Chhaya… So you can run but you can't hide.." He turns his head like an owl in a creepy way. Tipping his head to my left and his right. I stepped back and he stepped forward. I ran and ran until I got home. I got home right when the school bell rang. My mama wondered why I was home so early. But she stopped when I looked so tired and scared. "Why do you look so tired and scared?!" She asked ."Well now my old energy pet is a human! And he wants revenge! He probably wants to be my energy pet again! He thinks I dumped him!" "Oh my!" My Mama says as she gives me a nice warm hug. "Why don't you stay home from school and I'll ask the school who's at school until her name is off the list!" "um mama she's a he and his name is Damya BTW" "oh sorry did she change her gender somehow?" "Yeah, but I don't know how!"
