spot. I hate it when people get lovey-dovey in front of me. Ugh. I moved to sit in a tree shade. I don't feel dizzy. I feel fine. I also feel hungry. I hope there's food to eat. I think I'll get up and explore the area. I explored the beach. It was warm out. The beach was like the beaches on earth. The ocean was green color. It is very weird. I wandered around in the forest. I felt like being watched. I felt drumming vibrations. I saw Christian. He wasn't happy to see me up and exploring the forest. He told me to go back to bed and rest. I walked back to the beach. I could see in the distance a giant statue of a bird. The bird looks like an eagle. I asked Christian where the chasm was. He pointed in one direction and told me it was in that direction. Oh. I’m a little confused on how I got here and asked Christian. He told me that I used my wolf form, which made it easier to carry me. I went back to the lean to. I ate an apple. I feel a little tired. I think I'll sleep now.
Haha,

Dear Anne,
I must have been really tired. Luke woke me up by shaking my hand. It was 6am. The sunrise is beautiful. I like it. Christian wanted to look for more apple trees. I insisted that someone go with him so Jordan volunteered. They left in one direction. I hope they'll be fine. I walked down the beach to the tall bird statue. I tried to climb the statue that was next to a cliff wall. I think it’s the chasm up there. I don't know. Christian and Jordan came back with a box full of apples. Christian and Jordan found them up a hill. It was good to eat some apples. I was hungry. I wonder what we are going to do now. I hope we can find a home to stay in. Maybe we could build a home. Well I'm feeling a little under the weather. I think I'll go to sleep. I sat on my bed. I moved it away from Julia's bed. I don't want to see them having sex again. Bruce woke me up to tell me it was lunchtime. I ate apples and fish for lunch. Christian and Jordan caught the fish. They made spears and caught the fish. Heather examined me. I seem to be fine. I asked Christian when we move out.
He told me "We're going to vote about that in a few minutes."
We voted unanimously to move out. We packed our stuff and put them in boxes and backpacks. Then we walked up a hill. At the top I could see for miles around. We seem to be on a peninsula. I saw the chasm in our way. We'll have to swim in the ocean to get pass the chasm. Christian told us to make rafts. Lucky we had ropes with us. The rafts were crude looking but they floated me and the others pass the chasm. There were small islands that were part of the chasm. At the beach Christian told us to take a rest. It took us four hours to make the rafts and float them pass the chasm. Wow! I ate an apple. I was hungry. The others ate too. Our meeting was about going or staying. We voted to go. Christian led the way pass the beach to the forest beyond. There was a mountain in the way. Halfway there Christian told us to stop and take a break. It's going to be nighttime soon. I'm hope I'll be fine sleeping. Bruce is next to me watching me write. Christian and Maureen are together in a hug. I guess we're grateful to be alive. Yeah.
Grateful,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
I slept fine. Bruce woke me up at dawn by kissing me on the lips. We went up the top of the mountain. I could see for miles and miles. There was a mountain chain surrounding a valley. I looked down below and I could see a waterfall leading to a pool and another waterfall leading to a pool. How pretty. I saw spires in the distance. I think they might be a place where we could call home. We took a break to rest. The air is quite fresh up here. It is very nice. I looked behind us and I could see the great chasm. It was interesting. I think the chasm is bottomless. We got halfway down the mountain. I feel like going for a swim in the pool. I haven't seen any Felidae or hoodlums. I wonder why we haven't seen any. I hope the valley is okay. The spires in the distance are on the other side of the valley. We'll have to cross the valley to reach the spires. Bruce and I talked about the valley and the spires. We chatted about not seeing the Banshees. It was good not seeing them and took the group awhile to reach the spires. They're next to the mountain wall. There are three in number. One tall one, a middle sized one and a small one. Christian went in Taller and came out and told us there were just three rooms. The middle-sized spire had bunk beds. We dumped our stuff in the spire. I noticed Julia and Jordan disappear in a room closing the door behind them. Heather humph when she saw them go in a room. The smaller one has only one room with a giant door in the middle of the room. The door has writing on it that is similar to the writing on the spires. Christian called for a meeting, which was about the spires. He added the spires were similar to the spires back near Felidae land. Then after the meeting I wandered around the valley. I kept the spires in sight. There were apple trees and banana trees. I found chocolate trees and dates too. I was very happy. I walked back to camp and told them about finding chocolate and date trees. Christian thanked me. It was getting a little dark so I went to my room. I'm sharing it with Bruce. Bruce and I are in love with each other. I might have to tell him about not having a period. I finally told Heather in private about not having a period. She was supported. She told me it'd be God's gift if for me to conceive a baby. I really do hope so. I'm sad we had to leave George and Andy's graves behind. I won't see them again. I'm also feeling a little sad. The room I'm in is similar to the room I stayed in the spires. There are three beds. There is one floor with windows in each six rooms. Bruce and I are sharing a room. We're all sharing rooms. Heather is bunked with Annia. Terin and Tolland are sharing a room. Julia with Jordan and we have an extra room for our stuff such as food. Luke gets a room for himself. I'm glad. I hope we'll be fine. There is also a poolroom with a miniature waterfall. I think the room was used for baths and showers.
From,

Dear Anne,
Luke woke me up at 6am. Breakfast was dates and fruit. Heather wouldn’t let me eat chocolate. Told me it was because of my sickness. I wandered around the valley. It was full of trees and bushes. There’s a pool with a waterfall. It is very peaceful. I like it here. It is very nice. I hope the Banshees won’t hurt us. I really do. I wound up sitting on a small mound of dirt. I think it might be an ant hole. I got up and brushed myself. I felt hungry so I went the date tree. I ate some and when no one was looking I ate some chocolate. Yum. I made sure to wipe my mouth with a leaf. I’m feeling itchy. Must be the mound of dirt I sat down on. I really hope not. I took an early shower. I was feeling itchy. Heather saw me and told me to take a shower. I looked a little red from the itches. I took a shower and washed my coverall. I made sure my diary wasn’t in my coverall. There’s a dryer in the wall that will dry the clothes. It blows warm air. I have no idea why it’s there. I used it to dry my coverall. Then Heather examined me. We did it in my room. She told me I was fine. I only got a rash from itching I showed her the mound where I sat down on. She confirmed it was just dirt. She inspected it. After that she told me to go to bed early. I’m in my room I share with Bruce. I’m in bed. I hope to sleep well. I don’t feel good. I feel sick like I want to throw up. I think I’ll go outside and see about throwing up.
Yours,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
Yesterday I went outside and I threw up twice on the ground. Heather came running over. She saw I ate chocolate because of what I threw up. She scolded me and told me to go back to bed. I went to bed. I got up and threw up in the hallway. Heather came out of her room to see me throw up in the hallway. What a mess. I’m embarrassed. Heather told me to go back to bed. I woke up again and went outside. I had a feeling of being watched. I came out and went back to my room. I feel a little bit better. I noticed the mess I made on the floor that was a rug was cleaned up. I don’t feel hungry. I have a stomachache and a headache. It was pretty bad. I’m not feeling refreshed. I’m feeling tired. I went to sleep. Bruce woke me up and he asked me if I was all right. I felt a little bit better. I had dates and fruit. I hope there are fish in the pond. Bruce
told me to come with him. I followed him to the pond. He showed me a fishing pole with a worm on it. Disgusting. He caught several fishes with the pole. It was disgusting. I’m disgusted. I also threw up again. I feel awful. A hoodlum came up from the Earth. He told me Cra’zy is doing fine in sign language. We had a nice conversation. We talked about the valley and the spires. I asked the hoodlum why there was no Felidae living in the valley. Then the hoodlum sank in the earth, how rude didn’t answer my question. Hmph. I ate some fish. I even threw up again. I feel awful. I hope it’s not the sickness I have. Heather told me she’d hunt for herbs to help me. I like living in the valley. It is nice here. I hope the Banshees won’t try to attack us. I can’t help being worried about the Banshees. I wonder why the Felidae aren’t in the valley. I wonder why. It is weird. Heather told me to go back to bed. I’m feeling a little awful. I hope I won’t fall in a coma again. I’m feeling a little tired. Oh I forgot to mention that we took the rafts to around the chasm to a valley next to the chasm and found some spires. Yawn. Good night.
Yawn,
Lizzie

Dear Anne,
I woke up feeling sick. I walked outside and threw up in the bushes. I saw Banshees littering the ground all curled up in balls. I woke everybody up telling them about the Banshees. We gathered in a room and decided to move out. It took us an hour to move out of the valley. I don’t know what’s past the valley. Christian led the way pass the mountain chain. Halfway down the mountain we took a break. Bruce is holding a torch in his hand. Bruce motioned that he wanted to talk to me. Our talk was about me being sick. The sunrise was beautiful. We walked down the mountain to another valley. Halfway we took a break. Christian told us he heard screeching noises. I think it’s the Banshees. Maureen agreed with me. I looked to see hoodlums come up from the ground. They told us the valley we were previously in was forbidden for Banshees to enter. The hoodlums think the shuttle crew did something really bad to make the Banshees enter the valley. The hoodlums stood around us watching us eat snacks. I had an apple. I hope we’ll be fine. Christian led us pass the valley to the mountain. I turned around and looked back. I could see the mountain behind us. Bruce pushed me gently to move. After the mountain there was a cave which Christian and Jordan went inside to check it out. They came back and told us the cave was safe for us. We went inside. It was a huge cavern that was a little bit high overhead. I could see the room was made out of Crystals. Christian told us to rest because we’re moving at nighttime. I was so tired. Bruce was lying next to me asleep. Julia and Jordan are in one corner. The others are in another corner gathered around Bruce and me. I should be asleep. I had a dream again. I was lying in a white room in a wolf form and was in the same position as before. It was strange but Christian woke us up. We ran out of the cave with our stuff. The sun was setting. I saw Banshees running up the mountain. They were firing lightening bolts from their hands at us. We ran up the mountain and reached the top. The Sun disappeared down the horizon. The Banshees stopped firing their lightning bolts and crouched down. We lit torches. Christian led us down the mountain to another valley. There were spires in the distance. Christian told us to avoid them. He led us to the ocean. A hoodlum came up from the ground and told us there is a big island with no Banshees on it. Added that there were people like us living there. Then the hoodlum went down the earth.
Yours,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
We went on rafts on the way to the big island. On the way I hoped the people living on it are nice too. It took us awhile to build the rafts. Christian chopped down trees and Jordan fastened the rope on the trees. The rafts are floating that their okay. We reached the island safely in the morning as the sun was rising. The island looked quite big. There were two islands next to the big island. The islands seem to form a triangle. On the big island we went on the beach and ran into trouble. Humanoids that looked human with pointy ears and all white eyes came attacking us. They were like Native Americans. They had white cloth covering their private parts. I put up a fight by changing myself into a wolf and was knocked out. A male native with his stick knocked me on the head. I came to find myself in a cage with Bruce looking worriedly holding my hand. I asked him what happened. We were all in the same cage. The cage was made out of wood. I wonder why the natives attacked us. A native stared at me. He watched me write in my journal. The sun is setting down the horizon. I wonder why we’re in the cage. I looked around and saw that Christian was missing.
I asked Bruce “Where is Christian?”
He pointed. I looked where he pointed and saw Christian kneeling on the ground in front of the cage. His hands were tied behind him. I could see a native hit him with a stick like object. I asked Maureen to interpret what the native was saying.
She told Bruce and me “Where is she? What have you done with her?”
Christian kept saying “I don’t know.”
The native hauled Christian to the cage and threw him in the cage. The native must be pretty strong. Maureen and Heather attended to his wounds. I untied him the ropes around his wrists. Christian had bruises on his face. He seemed to have a cracked rib. I saw the native hit him in the chest. Poor Christian.
Worried,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
After the native was finished with Christian he pulled my arm and I dropped my journal on the dirt ground along with the pen. The native pulled me out of the cage like I was a sack of potatoes. Then the native asked me the same questions he asked Christian. I had to lip read him talking to me.
I asked him “Where did you last see her?”
He backed away from me with his eyes wide. I stared at him. He seems to be looking behind me. I turned around and saw a hoodlum behind me. The hoodlum and the native had a conversation. I didn’t understand a word. The hoodlum sank in the earth. The native told me his name was Ord. Then he released the others from the cage. We went to the beach and gathered our stuff. Ord brought us to a large hut. It was made out of bark. The floor was covered with a fur rug. I have no idea what. The hut was big enough for us to lie down on it. We put our stuff down and showed the natives our food. They acted like they never seen apples before. Ord told Maureen interpreting for Bruce and me that they have banana, dates, oranges and chocolate trees but no apples. I’m glad for something else. Heather came by and forbidden to me to eat chocolate. I ate an orange then I explored the island with Bruce. The island is like Hawaii. It is big. There are mountains on it. I like it. It’s so beautiful. I feel we’re in paradise. Wow. Bruce and I kissed each other then acted silly. Heather came by and told us to grow up. Bruce and I climbed a hill and looked out of the view. The view was nice. I could see mountains surrounding a valley. The island is very big. It might be a continent. I sat down on the ground with Bruce. He sat next to me. It was very warm out here. The air was fresh. A hoodlum came up from the earth and stood behind us watching us sitting staring at the view. I could see a giant stone Eagle on the beach down below. The area is beautiful. I feel fine. I’m happy mood. Jordan came by and told us that we were having a meeting in a few minutes. He fingered spelled that fact. We followed Jordan down the mountain to the hut. Christian and the others were there. For dinner was fish. The natives were very nice sharing their fish. After dinner was a meeting. The meeting was about living on the island with the natives. We decided to be generous and share our stuff. The natives were very nice. I should be going to bed. I have to get up at dawn. I’m a little tired. The native women taught me how to make a rug out of plants together. I worked on it pass sundown. I’m a little tired. The women are still working on their rugs. They explained they don’t go to bed until they finish the rug period. I’m halfway through it. I got too tired to finish it. I think I’ll finish it tomorrow. Oh I forgot it is already tomorrow. Sheesh.
Yours,
Elizabeth

De
ar Anne,
Luke let me sleep late. I woke up an hour ago and had breakfast. I must be really tired. I went to work on my rug and found it all finished. I wonder who did it. Hmm. I was in the hut. I left the hut and went to a tree and sat down next to it. There was a hole next to the first tree I went to the hole was the size of my hand. I didn’t sit down but went to another tree. I wonder when Bruce and I will have sex. I don’t know if I can conceive or not. I don’t know. I hope we’ll be fine here on the island. I hope the Banshees won’t bother us. The natives have huts made out of bones and bark. I see Bruce and Maureen teaching Ord sign language. I think I could go over and help them. I don’t have much to do. I’m a little bit under the weather. I hope I’m fine.
Later I threw up in front of them. Heather explained to Ord that I have a sickness hitting me. Ord seemed to understand that. He gestured for us to follow him. We went to a hut and Ord introduced us to his wife Yina and his twelve-year-old son Co’dan. He explained with Maureen interpreting that Co’dan has a sickness too. He can’t eat chocolate at all. It’s nice to have someone suffering along me. I can’t believe I wrote that. Yina seems to be young about twenty-five years old. Ord looks thirty years old. Yina showed us her two-year-old daughter Orina who was so cute. After that I wandered to the beach and went to the stone eagle. It was taller than me. I have no idea why its there. A native male came by and told me his name was Ler’co. I asked him about the stone eagle. I had to lip read Ler’co. He doesn’t know why the eagle is there. He explained that there are birds like the stone statue around the island. How nice. I would love to see the eagles. I hope the eagle is okay here. I noticed that there were feather designs on the huts. I asked Ler’co about the feathers. He explained the feathers come from the eagles that are found on the ground or from dead eagles. Ew gross. Then he went to a hut. I sat down on the ground and pulled out my diary. I decided to write. I think I might be halfway through the diary. I’m writing entries on one page a day. I want to. Bruce came by and sat next to me as I wrote. He brought me an apple. I told Bruce about planting the apple seeds in the ground. He thought it was a great idea. I ate the apple then buried it in the ground. I made sure it was buried deeply. Bruce lay
