minutes. I hope it’s something else besides babies. I’m a little bored. Yawn. I also feel tired too. The meeting was about Banshees. Several of the Humanias saw Banshees last night near camp. They killed the Banshees. We’re having Banshees for dinner. Maureen changed the subject to babies. We discussed names for the babies. I wonder what name I will give my child. Maureen and Christian had an argument about baby names. Luke stopped their argument. We had Banshee meat for dinner. It tastes like chicken. Cute. Well they used the bones to build more huts. The skin was used for clothes, pots and bags. I’m surprised that they eat Banshees. After the meeting I went back to the hut. Bruce followed me and he snoozed next to me. I told Bruce that we could sit outside and watch the sun set. Bruce carried me outside. We watched the sun set down the horizon. I looked at the bushes and screamed. A Banshee came out as the sun settled. It crouched down on the ground. Several Humanias came by and drove sticks in the Banshee’s body. Heather checked the Banshee for life signs. There were none. Luke insisted in having a meeting. Heather went to get the gang. The meeting was about the Banshees. We decided to move to another island. First I asked Ord about the other islands. He told us they were very dangerous. On one island is a race he described that is like another version of the Banshees but their thicker skin and night colored skin with three horns on their heads. Ord told us their name was Banara. We asked him about the third island. Ord told us it was full of traps. Several of his people died from being caught in the traps. Then Luke told Ord about the forbidden valley and the Banshees. Ord told us about the door in one spire. He told us it was a doorway to somewhere. It explains how the Banshees got on the island. They never go in the water because it'll kill them. They must have gotten to the island by a doorway. I wondered out loud if it could lead to Terra. Terin reminded us about Earth’s law. Jordan told us he hasn’t heard a thing about perfection on the radio. We decided to stay on the island for awhile. Then after the meeting Bruce carried me back to the hut. He seems to remember where the hut it. I forgot where it was. I keep forgetting. The huts are the same. I think Bruce wants to talk to me. I’ll stop writing and talk to Bruce.

  Dear Anne,

  Our conversation last night was about baby names. He wanted to name the baby if boy John and if girl Yelena. I wanted the name Sheridan. Because if was a good name. The name is a character from a soap opera. It is also a girl's name. It was thundering and lightening last night. I didn’t sleep very well. The lightening woke me up. I could feel drumming vibrations. I looked outside the hut and I could see bright shining lights from the mountain. It also rained. The rain poured out our fire. It made the ground a bit muddy. Bruce pulled me in his lap. We lay in spoon fashion for the rest of the night. The storm stopped.

  It’s a beautiful sunny day. The clouds are disappearing. I felt a little tired. Bruce was asleep. Heather came and I woke Bruce up. She examined me by waving a metal stick over me. She had a strange expression on her face. I asked her but she found I was fine. Breakfast was Banshee meat and oranges to drink. I could get used to this. Bruce carried me around camp. I saw several Banshees lying on the ground appeared to be dead. Several Humanias were stripping the Banshee’s skin. It was disgusting. Bruce carried me to a pond with a waterfall. We stripped and took a bath then put our coveralls on. The water was cool. It was a cool day. Then Bruce carried me back to camp. I could feel we were being watched. I wonder who watched us strip. Humph. There was a meeting. The meeting was about the Banshees. We decided to go back to the forbidden valley. Luke wanted to try the door. We thought it was a good idea. Ord came by and Heather told him the truth about a shuttle crew killing one of the Banshees and taking it back to study on Terra which is a new thing I didn't know before. Ord wasn’t happy about that. He told us it explains why there were Banshees on the island. There are hardly any Banshees on the island here was a Banshee attack.

  Then suddenly there were lightening bolts from the bushes as several Banshees attacked us. Bruce and I defended the others in our wolf forms by biting the Banshees and knocking several Banshees on the ground with our bodies. The Humanias put up a fight and several Banshees retreated. Luke decided that it was time to go back to the beach camp. We packed up our stuff. Ord led the way with the other people among us. We went up the mountain. Bruce carried me up the mountain. When we reached the beach camp it was in a mess. The huts were destroyed. There were several Banshees around destroying the huts. The Humanias killed the Banshees. Dinner was Banshee meat. The men helped the Humanias build new huts. Ord told us to travel on the water by sunset. Then we made rafts. Ord showed us how to make them. Around sunset we loaded up the rafts and pushed them in the ocean. I’m sitting on Bruce’s lap on the rafts. I’m feeling a little queasy. I feel I want to throw up. We should be reaching land soon. I wonder when? The sun is on the horizon. I can see land far ahead. There seems to be Banshees on the beach. I hope the sun sets by the time we reach the land.

  Worried,

  Dear Anne,

  The sun disappeared down the horizon when we reached the beach. It took us awhile before we reached the forbidden valley. Luke told us to rest for a minute. I rested. It was good to sit down. Then we went to the spire with the door in it. The door was big with carved drawings on it. They didn't make sense. Ord taught Luke how to open the door. Luke pressed several of the drawings and they glowed. Then the door showed clouds in it. Each of us walked through one at a time. Ord told us the door will close behind us. We entered a tunnel that was shiny crystal all over. The shiny crystal isn’t too bright to hurt our eyes. I’m feeling fine. I hope we reached Terra. I really do. We reached the end of the tunnel. Luke went out and told us it was safe for us to go out. Bruce carried me out of the tunnel and we entered a doorway to a room. The room was huge and circular. There was an entrance leading to outside. Luke went out the doorway and told us it was safe for us to come out. Outside we seemed to be in a compound that was fenced. There was an overgrown garden and apple trees. There were nine round buildings. I wondered where we are. A forest is surrounding the compound. Bruce carried me inside a round building. There was a hallway and rooms that had bunk beds. Bruce laid me on a bunk bed and we kissed. Luke came by and scolded us. He told us to put our stuff away first before any hanky panky. Bruce left me on the bed. I lay down and could feel a book in the mattress. I got up and pulled the book out. I saw the book seemed to be made by hand. There were pictures drawn. The book was similar to a bible. The language was English language. The book talked about races being created on a planetary moon world named Edenia and later sent out to planetary worlds. I got up and walked out of the building. I found the others gathered in a circle in the middle of the building. I showed them the book I found. Luke thought it was great. I looked around and I could see that the fences around the building looked a little worn down. The grasses were high. I hope there’s a lawnmower. We decided to put our stuff in the room Bruce and I found. Lunch was lettuce and bananas. There are different fruits in the garden. I went to sleep. Bruce woke me up by kissing me. He carried me outside. Outside was a beautiful day. It was sunny out. He put me down in front of a tree. I went to sleep. I feel fine. I can't believe that it's been a few months on Terra and a few weeks on Edenia. I wonder what planet are we on? Also who wrote that English language book? Someone with very good handwriting wrote the book. It was like a sacred book by the looks of it. The book wasn't finished. Terin and Tolland are busy pulling weeds from the garden. Christian is talking to Annia and Heather. They're talking about exploring the area around the compound. I can lip-read them. Maureen must be in the round building resting. Jordan is sitting under a tree with Julia. Luke I saw appeared to be exploring the area. I feel happy and delightful. Bruce is helping Terin and Tolland with the weeds. Bruce is gathering up the weeds and putting them in a pile. The sun is out shining. I could see a planetary moon in the distance. It is defini
tely not Terra because it's different. It has a greenish look to it with white clouds. I hope there's a pond nearby with a river to bathe in. Heather told me to go in the citadel and lie down. The round building we're staying in is called a citadel. I'm getting sick of lying in bed. It's really boring. I hate it when Heather is bossy. I went to the citadel she called it and laid down on the bed. Later Bruce carried me outside. He got very strong muscles. Outside was a little cloudy. The sun was setting. We stood in the courtyard. Christian started the meeting. The meeting was about staying here and exploring the hill next to the compound. Heather told us that Julia, Maureen, and I will have to stay in bed because of the babies coming. Luke, Christian and Tolland decided to explore the hill when it was daylight. That'll be tomorrow. After the meeting was dinnertime. We ate lettuce and apples. There was no water to drink. Christian told us he'll find a river for us to drink. Then after dinner Bruce carried me back to bed. He laid down cuddling me. Right now he's kissing my neck and nuzzling it.
