A Hayu's Dream
Page 44
had a meeting. We talked about finding the fruit and getting the herbs. I feel fine. I’m a little tired. I would love to explore the caves but there are some off limits. After that we sat around and talked to each other. I lip read Kanica talking to Heather about the baby. She’s okay. Bruce and I chatted about marriage. He wanted to marry me once we get back to Terra. Luke eavesdrop our conversation. He interrupted us that he has his blessing to get married. After that was lunchtime which was lunch were fish and apples for desert. I had an herb to eat. It was very weird eating herbs. Then we went outside. The ground was dry. I sat down and pulled out my diary. The others are used to seeing me write. Bruce sat next to me and put his arm around my shoulder. He watched his father talk to Heather. Luke was teaching Heather how to sign. It was a beautiful day out. I could see Felidae jumping from tree to tree. I would love to do that. Bruce leaned against me and was asleep. I guess he didn’t sleep very well last night.
I wound up in the medical cave. Bruce was lying on the bed asleep. I tried to wake him up when I wanted to get up. He wouldn’t wake up. Instead he slid to the ground. I yelled and got Heather’s attention. Luke and Heather carried Bruce inside the cave to the medical cave. I followed them. I watched Jo’ler work on Bruce. He examined Bruce by waving his hands like he was scanning him with a scanner. Then he told Luke something. Luke paled. I asked what’s wrong with Bruce. Luke told me Bruce had an allergic reaction to something like I did. I hope he wakes up soon. I held his right hand with my left hand. I hoped he wakes up soon. I was getting worried. I fell asleep against Bruce’s arm. I woke up when I felt someone stroking my hair. I woke up and found Bruce awake.
I yelled loudly with my voice “Bruce is awake!”
Jo’ler came with Heather. They checked Bruce all over with Jo’ler waving his hands over Bruce and Heather waiting for the results. I stood and watched them check Bruce. I checked my watch it was 9pm. I missed dinner. I felt a little hungry but I didn’t want to leave Bruce. Heather shooed me out of the cave. I went to the pantry and had an apple with oranges to drink. I ate pretty fast. I also had an herb. Then I went to my room. I found Kanica in bed asleep. I tiptoed up my bunk and pulled out my diary. I’m sure Bruce will be out of the medical hospital soon, maybe tomorrow. I miss him. I’m a little tired. I think I’ll go to bed now. Good night.
Yours,

Dear Anne,
I woke up with a pillow on my face. I took it off and found Kanica being restrained by Heather. I asked what was going on. Luke came and told me Heather caught Kanica trying to kill me with a pillow. Heather dragged Kanica out of the room. I later found out she was sent to clean the cafeteria for doing that. Heather thinks she may be a perfectionist spy. I hope not. I was getting worried. Christian has been giving me looks of disgust on his face. Maureen hasn’t noticed that. I decided to tell Maureen that. I went to the medical cave and found Bruce up. Jo’ler was examining him. Bruce and I went outside. It was a cloudy day. We sat down on the ground and stared at the sky. It began to rain so we went inside. Inside Heather told us there was a meeting today. Bruce and I had lunch which was apples and bananas. I can’t wait to eat something else besides fish and fruit. I was getting a little sick of eating fish and fruit. The meeting started. Heather told us about finding Kanica trying to suffocate me. Christian acted weird. He wouldn’t sit next to us. He sat with Maureen between us. I hope he’s not a perfectionist. He and Maureen were barely speaking. They were looking at each other with anger in their eyes. I asked Maureen what was the problem between her and Christian. She wouldn't tell me. I hope it’s not perfection. I really do hope not. I wonder why Kanica tried to kill me. It was weird. I could see Kanica cleaning the cafeteria with a broom. She didn't look happy. She glared at me. I didn't glare at her. I felt fine. After lunch Bruce and I went to my room. He sat on Kanica's bed. I sat next to him. He and I talked about Kanica and her baby. I told him it might be pregnancy related. Sue acted the same way with me. I told him that. He thinks it's just a phase. Bruce told me he had to see his father about something. He left the room. I pulled out my diary and started writing in here. I haven't gotten a chance to write in here since yesterday. I have been busy. Sigh. I can't sleep. I'm feeling wide-awake. The light is on. Heather is sleeping in another room watching Kanica Bruce is on the lower bunk asleep. His father is in the restroom. I already took my shower. Luke decided to keep us together. I hope Bruce and I won't have sex. It is ridiculous. I don't know if I could conceive. I don’t have a period. It'll be an act of a higher power to give me a baby. I don’t know what we're doing tomorrow maybe the Felidae could teach us how to tree jump. It seems interesting, nothing new to add. I wonder how Vladimir is doing. I hope he's okay. I hope my kittens are doing okay. I hope so. I was a little bit on the bored side. Sue would be five months with four to go now. How nice. I can't believe I was worried about Sue. Sigh. I wonder if I could explore the spire next to the cave. It might be nice. I hope so I think I'll go to sleep before Luke comes in and turn the light off.
Yours,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
I went outside and sat on the grass. It’s a beautiful day out. It is also warm too. I find it weird that Edenia could be warm while Terra is cold with ice. Luke woke me up at dawn due to I don’t have my vibrating clock with me. I got up and ate bananas for breakfast. Then I walked outside to the spire. Geo'ler I think followed me. He let me walk in the spire. It was the same as the other spires I stayed in, two floors with a flight of stairs and rooms with bunk bed and beds in them. There were windows with Felidae looking out the window. Cra'zy came and told me to come with him. I followed him back inside to the cafeteria. There was a meeting. The meeting was about Kanica. Christian didn't give me a look of disgust. He and Maureen were looking at each other with love. I asked Maureen why she was angry with him yesterday. She explained she and Christian had an argument about having kids. That was all she told me. After the meeting I pulled out my journal and started writing in it. Andy saw me and told me I was lucky to have something to get rid of my frustrations. I felt fine. Tolland’s arm seems to be better. He was wearing cloth on his arm instead of a sling. I walked outside and sat on the grass with my back to the tree. I looked at the horizon. I saw a something strange. It was weird. I saw a creature come out of the ground. The creature was humanoid and had a long stick with an Egyptian symbol of Horus on it. The creature was covered in a hooded black robe. I stared at it and its clawed hands. I was surprised to see it. Then Cra'zy came and sat next to me. His ears were laid flat against his head. He seemed annoyed. The hooded creature went into the earth. I asked Cra'zy what they were. He told me his people call them creature with no name. I guess I’ll call them Hoodlums. They were very weird. I checked my watch it’s close to lunchtime so I went to go eat lunch. I couldn’t wait to tell the others about the creature. I ate fish for lunch. I told the others about seeing the hoodlum. Andy was interested. He was hoping that we could be friends with the Hoodlums. Cra'zy told us the Hoodlums are always covered up in their hooded robes. After the meeting I went outside with Bruce. A Hoodlum came out of the earth. I couldn't see its face because its hood covered the face and neck. I think it was a male. The Hoodlum waved his stick and hands appeared to sign "hello" I signed hello back. The Hoodlum signed back. We had a conversation telling the Hoodlum why we were here and stuff. I noticed Christian came out of the cave with Maureen out of the corner of my eye. Then several Felidae joined them. They stood watching us sign to each other. I asked him for his name and species name. He told me I’d learn his name later. He gave me his stick. Then the Hoodlum went into the earth. Christian and Maureen applauded. Several of the Felidae jumped up and down bouncing like bunnies. Bruce and I went inside the spire. I showed him the rooms. There were bedrooms but no poolroom. Geo'ler followed us around like a puppy which gave me a vision of a Labrador retriever puppy following me around a large room that was furnished with furnitur
e and people that I couldn’t see them. He walked on fours. I showed Bruce the rooms then we went outside to sit on the grass. The stick the hoodlum gave me was next to me on the ground. I think it is nice. I don't know why the Hoodlum gave it to me. The sun is shining very blindly. There isn't a cloud in the sky. It's a beautiful day. Bruce was lying next to me staring at Terra. I don't know what he is thinking about. I asked Bruce what he was thinking about. He told he was thinking about Terra. He thinks we could go back to Terra someday. I don't know when but it'll be nice to see Sue again. I can't believe I wrote that. We stayed outside until Terin came walking by. She told us with me interpreting as I lip read her that there was a meeting in a few minutes. We walked inside. I carried the stick. Kanica apologized for trying to kill me. I accepted her apology. Then the meeting began. We talked about the shuttle Excelsior. It's hidden in a cave. Christian wanted to take the shuttle and fly it to somewhere far from Terra. Andy didn't like his idea. Tolland suggested going back to Terra. Terin reminded
