don't know. I'm a little bored. I wonder if we could go back to the town and get a boat and sail to another continent. It might be nice. Jella is on anther bed with her babies. Lana is sleeping with her babies. He husband Lorne is staring at her. I'm hope they follow Jella's advice and not have more babies. We're fast running out of clothes for the babies. I think it might be awhile before we move from here. I want to wait until the babies are older. I really do wonder when we leave here. I don't know. I think I'll go back to sleep. I'm tired. I think the babies might wake me up in the morning crying to be fed.
Yours,

Dear Anne,
Jella woke me up. The twins were crying. I fed them. They stopped crying. I left them on a bed. I can't believe I was nearly right about them crying early in the morning. I think I should go back to sleep now. I fell asleep and Jella woke me up again. It was Duncan who was crying. I fed him. Then I left him on Bruce. Bruce is awake staring at Duncan. Duncan is asleep. The twins are on a bed snoozing. I think Jella maybe tired too. I don't know. I fell asleep again. Bruce woke me up. It was lunch time. Lana and Lorne left their babies and went somewhere in the compound. I went outside after lunch to see Lana and Lorne leave the compound door open and close it. The Mesan’s Curse weren't around. I wonder why Lana and Lorne are leaving their babies here. I went to check on their babies in their room in the citadel. I found no babies. I went outside to the compound doors. A Mesan’s Curse appeared and wouldn't let me open the door. He told me it was not safe for me to leave. I told him about seeing Lana and Lorne leave. The being told me in sign language that it was time for them to leave. He explained that Bruce and I would know when it's time to leave. I wandered back to the citadel and told Bruce what happened to Lana and Lorne leaving with out their babies. Bruce told me he saw a Sakul in their room. The Sakul threw him against the wall and knocked him out. It explains why I found Bruce asleep in front of their room. I suspect the Sakul have been stealing babies. I think its natural parents raise no baby. I suspect the Sakul are stealing babies. I hope our babies won't be taken away. Bruce and I left our babies under the care of Jella and Rani. We went to a tree and were kissing. I got a weird feeling to be with my babies. We ran in the citadel. Inside our room I saw Rani fighting with a Sakul. Rani was losing. The Sakul saw us and went through the wall like it was a ghost. Bruce looked out the window and saw the Sakul leave the compound. Jella looked upset and I asked her why using my voice. She explained a Sakul took Annie and Ranijell. I don't believe this. A Mesan’s Curse came and told Jella and Rani to leave. We bid them bye and they left the compound. I wonder where they're going. There aren't any places safe for them to stay. I wonder where we can go. I'm worried that the Sakul might steal our babies. I don't know. I'm not sure. I guess Bruce and I could go back to town and hang around. With Jella and Rani gone it's going to be harder to sleep. We have to take shifts to make sure the babies aren't crying to be fed. I'm in my room with the babies on the other bed. I noticed that Duncan is bigger than the twins. The twins seem to be smaller than Duncan. I went to look out the window and I could see Bruce pulling weeds in the garden. The garden is looking well. Oh Duncan is crying. I think he wants to be fed. Which reminds me what the depths is the smell?
The smell was David. I cleaned his crap off of him with a leaf. It is disgusting. Duncan was crying to be fed.
Well our day went sour. Several Sakuls came and knocked Bruce out unconscious. One Sakul pinned me to the wall. I could only watch in horror as they took the twins and Duncan. The Sakuls disappeared and I woke up Bruce. He has a bump on the head. A Mesan’s Curse came by and told us in sign language that it was time for us to leave. I asked them where we could go. They told us to figure it out ourselves. I suggested going back to the town Bruce and I just left. A Mesan’s Curse told us to take the river route instead and led us to the smallest of the buildings where the hidden staircase was. The Mesan’s Curse led the way down the stairs. There were lights built in the wall. Down the stairs we went round and round left. Bruce and I followed him to the end of the stairs revealing an ancient boat on a river next to a dock. I saw yellow eyes on the opposite of the river. I started getting headaches. I complained to Bruce about having a headache. He told me he had a headache too. The Mesan’s Curse told us to the river current will sail us to the ocean. Bruce and I got on the boat and bid him bye. We sailed in the boat under the caves to the opening. The ceiling was like the ceiling of the citadel. Bruce fell asleep. I sat next to Bruce and stared at the cave. On my left were yellow eyes in the walls. On my right were bright flashes of light. I wonder what's with the light. Intuition told me to put my diary in a hidden pocket in my pant leg. It was a good thing because I think we were betrayed. The boat came out of the cave. A net fell on us. It woke up Bruce. The net got us tangled. There were people on the river bank. I saw Christian among them. There was a look of pity in his eyes. The people hauled us to the river bank. They put metal collars on our necks attached to chains. They led us in our Wolf forms to town. The townspeople threw food at us. Christian led us to a cave and closed the gate behind us. The cave was small which I was sitting next to the fence. I'm sure the fence is electric. There aren't any guards. Bruce got his hands shocked by the electric fence. Poor Bruce. I better hide this Diary. I have the Edenia book hidden in anther pocket.
Yours,
Lizzie

Dear Anne,
I had a hard time sleeping because of having headaches. It was awful. I started hearing voices telling me to kill someone. I was too embarrassed to complain to Bruce. This morning, Maureen came by with food. Food was milk and bread. I asked her about her baby. She doesn't look pregnant. Maureen told me it was forbidden for her to talk to me. She signed that she had a baby girl named Elizabeth. Then Maureen left us. Bruce and I ate the bread and drank the milk. I feel sleepy. I think the food and drink was drugged. Bruce is asleep with his head in my lap. I'm still up. I think I better hide this diary and keep it from being in their hands.
Yawn,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
I woke up on a bed chained. I have no idea what day it is. I saw a calendar on the wall. It was old. There were days crossed off. I saw it was July 27. I checked my watch and found it gone. I have no idea what time it is. I feel lost. I discovered that I was naked. I don't believe this. I think I'm on a boat. There's a feeling of tipping back and forth. Bruce is chained on another bed. I could see he was asleep. I looked around the room. It has two bunk beds made out of wood. I found my diary and a book looking like the Edenia book on a bookcase along with my twentieth century stuff. I checked my backpack and tried to put on a shirt. The chains blocked my way. There was not enough room for me to pull the chains. I'm annoyed. I wonder what I am doing on a boat. I wrote in my diary. I wonder what happened to the others. I don’t know about Bruce. He's asleep. I tried to wake him up but the chains came up short. I'm feeling a vibration. It feels like drumming. Then there was a flash of light out of the corner of my eye. I looked and stared at a porthole. The chains let me look out the window. We seem to be down the lower decks. I could see fish from the porthole. I went back to bed and covered myself with a blanket. I can't believe someone would read my diary. I really hope not. I wonder where we're going. Maureen came in the room with food and our coveralls. She woke up Bruce and undid our chains. We put on our coveralls. I put my diary and the Edenia book in a pocket. As I was doing that the ship lurched to the left and I dropped the book.
I asked Maureen why we were here. She signed that the Mesan’s Curse admitted to putting knock out powder in our food so they could haul us to the ship. I asked Maureen where is her baby Elizabeth. She got somber. She told us that Sakul stole her baby. I tried to tell her about my pregnancies. She refused to hear it. She gave us food. The food was bread and milk. She left the room. I went to the door and tried to open it. I only got it to a crack because of a chain
holding the door. I looked out the hallway. I could see gray. The room's walls were made out of gray material. There was a bookcase with books. I pulled one out and tried to read it. The language was foreign. It was hard. I put the book back and sat on the bunk bed. I looked at my diary and discovered it was a little smudged. I think several people read it. I don't know. I'm glad I have my pens. I'm annoyed that I don't have my watch. There is a ventilator in the wall. It's pumping white smoke. Bruce is panicky. He thinks its knockout gas. I'm gagging. I undid the collar of my coverall and felt the air is making me sleepy. Bruce is asleep on the lower bunk on the bunk bed next to me. I'm also on the lower bunk. I think I better hide my journal. I hope we get a chance to explore the ship. It might be nice.
I woke up with my watch on my right arm. I'm right handed so I prefer to wear my watch on my left wrist. I'm on the bed. My right hand is chained to the bunk bed. Bruce's left hand is chained to his bunk bed. I feel I have to go. I hope there's a ladies room on the ship. Maureen came and I asked her about the bathrooms. She handed me a pan and
