A Hayu's Dream

was Carina. She had a scar on her cheek. I asked her if the Humans came from Edenia. She looked shocked.

  I told Carina "Sorry about that. That comes from book."

  She was shocked about that. She told us she isn’t sure about that. She stood over me and watched me write in here. I'm getting a little annoyed. Bruce shooed her away. I'm a little tired. I want to explore the town. I want to look around. My head itches. I took a shower last night and it was awful. The shower water kept turning hot and cold. I had a hard time showering. I'm not in a good mood. I'm cranky. The bed was hard like at the hospital. I had a hard time sleeping. Bruce slept like a log. I'm a little tired. I think I'll go to my room and lay down. Bruce and I went to our room. We saw a Mesan’s Curse appear in our room. The Mesan’s Curse told us about changing our clothes to blend in with the natives.

  The being told us that there are some of the natives that are working for the High Council which leaves me asking a question due to knowledge of a religion with the same name “Who is the High Council?”

  He mentioned that there are some Humans here who do not have markings on their arms. Then the Mesan’s Curse disappeared in thin air. I went to bed and tried to sleep. I complained to Bruce that the bed was hard. Bruce felt my bed and then I felt his bed. It was soft. I wonder why my bed is hard while his is soft. We switched beds. Then I snoozed until someone kissed me on the lips. It was Bruce. He and I went downstairs to the cafeteria for lunch. Maureen and Christian were there. They were discussing baby names. Heather and Annia came with black pants and brown turtleneck. I hope I won't gag on turtlenecks. We ate lunch and went to our room to change in the clothes. I adjusted my turtleneck sweater. Heather gave us bandages to cover our arms. From Carina when asked she talked about women having numeral markings on their right arm while men have that on their left arm. The women in our group covered up our right arm with bandages. Bruce, Christian, Jordan, and Tolland covered their left arms. We decided to sell our coveralls. Christian and Bruce went to the store to sell them. I went back to our room to bed. I talked to Heather about being discreet with our skin walker abilities. She scolded me and told me it wasn't any one's business. I hope to explore the town some more. I'm looking out the window as I write this. I can see the entire town from the window. It’s like a western town. Except it have six streets instead of one. The town is a little on the large size. Bruce and Christian came back from the store. I wanted to explore the town. Heather told me to stay in bed because of the baby. I'm annoyed. Sometimes I hate being pregnant. That's one thing is staying in bed a lot. Bruce stayed with me in bed nuzzling my neck. He snoozed besides me. I got up and looked out the window. I saw a sinister helicopter appear over the town. I saw townspeople running into buildings. The ship disappeared. The people came out of the buildings. The buildings were square metal like made out of wood. I think it was wood. There were windows too. The townspeople were wearing black pants and brown turtleneck. I wonder why? I adjusted the turtleneck top. It was loose around my neck. I didn't feel any gagging sensations. I feel I'm getting a case of writers block. I don't know what to write about. I wonder what's with the ships. The ships are similar to a helicopter back on Earth in the past. My back is itching. I woke up Bruce and we went downstairs to dinner. Dinner was orange stuff and orange drink that tasted like lemonade. It was weird eating this. I hope we can find an apartment to live in. it's getting too costly to stay in the hotel. I told Christian about finding a house to live in. He agreed with me. He told us that he, Jordan, Bruce and Tolland will look around while we stay here. The men left us to finished eating. I pulled out my diary and started writing. Carina is hovering around us. She looked worried. I asked Carina why she looked worried, she asked Julia how far she was along. Maureen told her six months. Carina was confused by the date six months. I told Carina there was estimate thirty days in a month. It dawned on her. She told Julia to go to the doctor right away. Maureen told her she was fine. Carina told us that no woman has survived giving birth. Being pregnant was a death sentence. Maureen was shocked by this. Christian and the boys came back. Maureen told Christian what Carina told her. Christian told us he found the doctor's office just down the block. I suggested going to the doctor and get a check up in case of any hidden illness. We all thought it was a great idea. Bruce, the others and I walked down the road to the doctor's office. It was okay. Not many people stared at us. We used our voices and didn’t sign. The doctor's was like a TV show about a medicine woman. The doctor introduced himself as Mitch. He led us to separate rooms. I took a room with Bruce. The room had a medical bed, a sink and a curtain with a garbage deposal built in the wall. The doctor came and examined me. He waved a scanner over me. Told me I was four months pregnant. I told him I wanted to be surprised on the baby's sex. He told me to consider aborting the baby. I asked him why. He told Bruce and me that no woman has survived giving birth. Bruce and I signed to each other about telling him we were from Earth. The Doctor wasn’t surprised to see our sign language. He interrupted us by signing that he knows we're from the Mesan’s Curse. The Mesan’s Curse was seen hanging around us at the compound. It explains why we were being watched. After the check up Bruce and I walked to the hotel. Bruce pointed out the store. It was named Jorgen. Bruce and I went in the store. It was small like a general store. There were our coveralls along with gray coveralls I recognized the Shuttle logo on them. The store had food such as candy, powders and goo. I wonder what the goo was for. It was really weird. There were strange items that I didn’t recognize. It was very weird. Heather came by with Annia. She told me to go back to bed and stay there. We walked back to the hotel. Inside we went to our room. I'm in the bed writing in here. Bruce is staring out the window. I wonder what he is thinking about. I asked Bruce what he was thinking about. He told me what the doctor told him about a fifty chance I could die from giving birth. I really hope to the one not! I told him I'll be fine. Then Bruce went to the hard bed and lay there staring at the wall. The ceiling is glowing. It is very weird. There is enough light to write in here. I think I'll go to bed now. I have to get up and turn the light off. But first I have to take a trip to the restroom. Then I'm going to take a hot shower.

  Yours,

  Dear Anne,

  Annia woke me up at dawn. I woke Bruce and we gathered in the hallway. Annia went to wake Jordan, Julia, Tolland and Terin. Maureen and I talked about babies. She's feeling some movements. It's good for her. I'm glad. I can't wait to feel the baby kick. It'll be a great feeling. I'm a little tired. The bed was soggy a little bit. It hurt my back when I tried to sleep on my stomach. My stomach feels tender. I also have some pains in my ankles. It's good to sit down on the floor. The floor is rugged blue color with gray walls. The doors are white with foreign language on them. I think the language is from my favorite TV show. I'm not sure what language it is. The meeting was about finding a house to live in. Christian volunteered to go and find a house. Heather asked to come along. Bruce declined in going. Maureen insisted he go. After the meeting we went downstairs to the café. The cafeteria is a bit on the large size like a high school cafeteria. The chairs and tables are made out of wood. There was a bar. The cafeteria is seemly the hotel's basement. There are stairs leading downward to the café. Breakfast was pancakes and orange juice. Christian tried to pay Carina for the food. She refused the money. The money was a credit card. It was weird using credit cards to pay for stuff. After breakfast, Heather, Christian and Bruce left to find a house to live in. The rest of us stayed in the cafeteria talking to each other. We discussed babies. Maureen is confident that she'll survive the birth. Terin is four months along. I'm four months along. I can't wait to have a baby. I'm excited. Tolland left us to go to his room. He was falling asleep in front of us. Maureen is teaching, Terin and Annia sign language. I'm writing in here. I hope Heather, Bruce and Christian come back soon. There aren't any people in the cafeteria. The waitresses walked outside. I wonder why. I told the others and I went
outside. I saw the waitresses. They were chewing some brown stuff in their mouths. I asked what it was. They looked at each other very strangely. I explained I was from a town that doesn't have the stuff. Carina was there. She told me it was called kook. What a weird name. I went inside and found Maureen, Annia and Terin were gone. I wonder where. I went to their rooms and found them in their rooms. Maureen was in bed asleep and so was Terin. Annia was looking out the window. I went to my room and decided to write. I would like to explore the town. It'll be nice to explore the town. I'm a little tired. I'm feeling cranky. My ears are feeling stuffed. I have a headache. I hope there is some aspirin around here. Whenever I have a headache I always take aspirin and then go to sleep. I think sleeping helps me with my headaches.

  Bruce woke me up around lunchtime by kissing me on the lips. He told me that he, Heather and Christian found a boarding house that was willing to take us. We went downstairs to the café. The doctor Mitch stopped by he wanted Maureen to stay in the
