eating fish so I had an apple. Luke suggested in finding a hammer and knocking the crystals off. Christian told us he was too tired to walk to the shuttle Excelsior. Jo'ler came by and we told him about the shiny crystals keeping us awake. Jo'ler thinks it’s the Dragon Drums' way of telling us when we should sleep and be awake. I'm annoyed.

  I told Jo'ler "Whose idea was to have us sleep during the day?"

  Jo'ler didn't know the answer. He simply shrugged. I fell asleep and passed out. I woke up to find my diary gone. I looked all over for it and found it with Kanica in her room. She wouldn't give it back. She put up a fight. Several pages got torn out. They were mostly blank pages. I gathered them up and put them in my diary. Ugh. I got my diary and checked it for damage. Kanica apologized. But I was too mad at her to forgive her. I'll forgive her someday. I went to the cafeteria. I checked my diary. Kanica only read what I wrote one hundred years ago. I can't believe she would read my diary. What is wrong with Kanica? I think there is something wrong with Kanica. Humph. I ate fish for lunch. I'm getting sick of eating fish. I told Christian I wanted a meeting after lunch. Christian assured me there would be a meeting.

  After lunch came the meeting. I told everybody about Kanica reading my diary. Mark was a little annoyed. He didn't believe me. Christian told us it didn't matter if Kanica read the diary as long none of us except me read it. During the meeting Mark and Kanica gave me glares. I ignored them. After the meeting I went outside. It was a nice warm sunny day. Someone snuck up behind me and hit me on the head with something which made me dizzy. I turned in my wolf form just to see Kanica with a look of disgust on her face. Mark took my diary and Kanica hit me in the head again which I passed out. I woke up in a spire bed tied up. I saw Kanica and Mark reading my diary. They appeared to be laughing and glaring at what I wrote. I hoped someone would come and get me. I have headache. I asked them why they wanted to read my diary. They wouldn't tell me but ignored my pleas. I feel violated. Next thing I knew the room's crystals became blinding bright. I felt myself released from the ropes. I felt my diary in my hand. I left the room and ran out of the spire. I can't believe none of the Felidaes saw Kanica hit me on the head. I ran up to the cave. Everybody except Kanica and Mark were there in the cafeteria. They were looking worried. Bruce ran and kissed me on the lips. I told him what happened I also told them about my wolf form change too. It helped me save myself from those two. When I changed Kanica and Mark got scared and threw my diary at me and I grabbed it in my mouth and ran outside towards the cave. Heather examined my head. I have two bumps. She thinks I should stay up in case of a conclusion. I'm going to be bored. I told them I was disappointed that none of the Felidaes saw Kanica hit me. Jo'ler who was there signed that they take naps around that time. They also like to stay up late. Looks like I'll be staying up late too. I told them about Kanica and Mark reading my diary. Bruce was outraged. He wanted to go to the spire and punish them. Kanica and Mark came back. They played dumb when Luke questioned them about hitting me and reading my diary. Kanica accused me of making it all up. Heather pointed out the two bumps on my head. Kanica and Mark told us they saw me trip and fall and hurt my head. Heather had an "I don't believe you" look on her face. Christian changed the subject by asking them how the baby was. Kanica is a little bit big. She told us the baby was kicking now. She could feel it kicking her. How nice but cute. They went to their room. I glared at Kanica. She had laughter in her eyes. I'm getting a feeling that she's a perfectionist. I really hope not. I wonder why she knocked me out to read my journal. Because of my conclusion I'm in the medical cave on a bed. Bruce is next to me keeping me awake. He doesn't want me to sleep in case. I'm feeling tired. I hope I can stay up late without having to sleep. Bruce left when his father came. I think he went to go to sleep. Luke told me he and Bruce are taking shifts. I have a really bad headache. Heather gave me a barf pan. I threw up twice. I think it's weird. I'm glad there aren't any needles to stick my arm with except I felt a needle poke my arm and I’m having a hard time staying awake. I don't have much to add. Luke is asleep. I think I'll sleep now. I don't care if I die. I'm tired and I have a really bad headache. When I have a headache all I want to do is sleep. I find that sleeping helps me with headaches. Good night.

  Yawn,

  Dear Anne,

  Heather woke me up. She sent Luke to bed. It was her turn to keep me awake. She had a hard time waking me up. I told her about Kanica hitting me on the head with a think tree branch. I even told her about them reading my diary. We discussed the contents in my diary. I told her I started writing in here since January sixth my birthday. I have been writing what happened to me. Heather told me she asked Kanica for information about my diary. Kanica told her I was a perfectionist. Heather told me she didn’t believe Kanica and she stayed up until Maureen came limping by and told Heather to go to bed. I told Heather I didn't want Kanica or Mark to watch me. Maureen and I talked about planet Earth. The perfection religion became a law last year. Thanks to technology Earth sent soldiers to kill off people not meeting the law. It sounds like world war two when all the Jews and people were killed for not being perfect. I really hope not. Edenia is a beautiful place to stay except I think it could use more technology. Maureen fell asleep. Heather waked her up. Heather slept for two hours. Maureen left. I forgot to tell her I know a Maureen from college. Heather and I talked about Kanica. Heather thinks Kanica is a spy sent from the perfectionists. I wonder why she was a spy when she doesn't meet the height requirements. Heather told me that Kanica has been acting like a perfectionist. While she was talking I noticed someone hiding behind the curtain. I interrupted Heather and pointed out the figure behind the curtain. I talked loudly telling Heather about my diary and why I write in it. Heather zipped the curtain and we saw Jo'ler. He apologized for eavesdropping. He explained he heard Kanica and Mark talking about hitting someone with a tree branch. Then he told us that years ago his people used to live on Terra. He added they think they built the spires and that Terra used to be warm like Edenia. When it got cold his people moved to Edenia. He didn't explain how they moved. Told us how they moved was a mystery. Oh well. Jo'ler left us alone Heather wound up asleep. I'm writing in here. I should wake Heather up but she's only had two hours of sleep. I feel fine. I still have that bad headache.

  Heather shook me awake. Jo'ler brought fruit for me to eat for breakfast. My head feels a little bit better. I can't wait to go back to sleep. I really do. The fruit was bananas and apples. I'm getting sick of eating fruit. I'm dying for pizza and a cheeseburger. I also would like to have Freedom fries too. I still have the bad headache. I can't wait to go back to sleep. I'm still up in the cafeteria. Jo'ler examined me and found I was fine. Heather checked my eyes with medical equipment. She waved a stick like object in front of my eyes. A small computer board showed her computer versions of my eyes. Then she waved the stick around my head. I saw the board show a version of my skull. There were two bumps one on the back of my head and another one on the right side of my head. I felt I have a headache. Heather gave me some headache pills. The headache felt a little bit better. Heather declared me fit to leave the medical cave. I walked out and found Bruce in the cafeteria. He hugged me. I saw Kanica and Mark. They had looks of disgust on their faces when they saw Bruce and me. I think Heather is right, their perfectionists. I have no idea why their perfectionists. I have a feeling they might steal the shuttle and fly it off Edenia. I don't know why. After breakfast I went to bed and slept until noon with my diary in my pants. I had a weird dream. I dreamed Kanica and Mark got the shuttle to fly in the air and flew it off Edenia and the shuttle was destroyed as in blew up in a fireball. I got up and saw Bruce. He looked angry. I asked him why he was angry. He told me Kanica and Mark disappeared. They took most of the food with them in a box. They didn't steal my backpack too. I'm glad about that. I ate the last of our apples. I went outside and I looked at the direction where the shuttle was and I looked in time to see the shu
ttle Excelsior in the air. The others came out when they hear the noise. I could feel the noise due to the vibrations. We watched in horror as the shuttle flew to Terra. It reached space. Then there was a ball of fire in the sky where the shuttle was.

  I spoke out loud "I think they destroyed the shuttle."

  Poor Kanica and Mark were including the baby. I feel sorry for them. Christian called for a meeting. We went inside and discussed how to leave Edenia. Christian thinks we're stuck here for a long time. Jo'ler came by and mentioned that his people in the past found a way to get to Edenia without going in space. I think that is impossible. I asked Jo'ler how. He told me his people are trying to remember and they don't have any written records. I told him the spires have writing on it. He was excited about that. Christian suggested going to the spires and help the Felidae translate the writing. I volunteered to go. Heather put her foot down. She didn't want me to go because of my conclusion. She wanted me to go to sleep and gets some rest. Bruce volunteered to go. I
