Into the Past: A Peek into the Past

     Today was just as normal as any other day. At least, I thought it was normal. When I came home from school, there was a small package on the porch. On the front it read Natalie Keynes. I hurriedly opened it. Inside I found a little book.
     It was not like any ordinary book, however. It's front and back was ruby red with gold designs from top to bottom. The book was held closed by a small golden clasp. It smelled old as if it was made five hundred years ago. I tugged and pulled finally came to the point, that I could not open this. I sat on the porch depressed, until I thought of something.
     "What if this book could be opened by a locket or something?" I thought excitedly. I unlocked the house and quickly rumaged thru my jewlery in my room. Suddenly, I found a small necklace with a key that matched the design of the little book exactly. I grabbed it, got the book, and sat our comfy widow box inside. I slowly opened only to find it was a journal. Only one page was written on:

April 18th, 1624

Whoever gets      book, please take     to the rightful heir in   family.
Only      must read on. I recently stumbled      a large                 
 Now every      wants it. I have hidden it with many      for my ancestors to find.
I feel now that my life is in danger.

     I sat back stunned.
     "Wow, wait till mom sees this! But, what is there a large something of??? Hidden with many what??"
     I sat there and thought for the longest time, until I didn't realize I started driftting off. I then fell asleep.
