Noel's Story Part 2
My rest lasted longer than expected. In fact, I was asleep for an entire week before I finally opened my eyes. By then my injuries were fully healed, and I was able to walk again. It was then that I finally got to meet the captain of the ship.
Amilliano walked in front of me, leading me to the room where the captain subsided. I was very nervous. Would he be nice? Would he let me repay him for his kindness? I was thinking of this so much that I didn’t notice that Amilliano had stopped walking and bumped into him.
He turned and let out a small laugh. “We’re here,” He said. He knocked on the door. I heard a lot of clattering. Amilliano turned to me once more. “Don’t be shy, go on in.” He gestured me into the room and closed the door.
There he was. The captain was in his chair, holding a mug of coffee in his hand. “So, this is the great Noel that Amilliano’s been talking about so much? For some reason I thought that you’d be a little bigger.” It was true; I was small for my age. I blushed, and it made him laugh. “Don’t worry, that won’t change a thing. Now, about your repayment…you used up a lot of my resources. Resources cost money, girl. How do you intend to repay me?” He asked as he set his coffee down on the table in front f him and got up.
I bowed my head down, my eyes shut tight. “I, would like to, um, repay my debt to you by working on your ship for you, if that would be okay.” I paused for a second. I was so nervous and shy; I must have looked like an idiot.
Instead I heard a small chuckle. Looking up I saw that the captain was smiling at me. “That would do just fine, Noel. That would do fine. Now, we have to give you a tour of the ship.” He walked past me, grabbing my shoulder, signaling for me to follow him. He opened the door again. I was surprised to see Amilliano waiting outside for me. “Here, Amilliano, give her the tour.” He closed the door again, secluding himself yet again.
Amilliano smiled. “You did great! He really likes you, I can tell. Well, let’s get this over with, shall we?” He said to me, smiling and grabbing my hand again.
I got up the nerve to ask the question. “Amilliano, how old are you?”
Amilliano paused for a second. “I’m thirteen.” He started walking again, tugging at my arm. The first room we went to was the cafeteria. I recognized the two other people there. Michael and Maurice. I smiled and waved at them. They smiled and waved back.
We proceeded in going to every room on the ship, the last room being mine. Amilliano sat me down on the bed and sat down in the chair. “Well, that’s about it. Oh! And there are some extra clothes in my room. You can change out of those rags.” He left for a minute, returning with a pile of clothing for me to wear. “Here, there’s a dresser over there that you can use. I’ll leave for a few minutes so that you can change.” He did so, and I changed into his clothes. They fit very loosely, and were quite comfortable. Looking at the rags that I had changed out of, I noticed something that I hadn’t noticed before. My mother would always sew my clothes, and on special occasions she would stitch a message in the back of the shirts. To think that after three years I still had a piece of memory from my parents made me happier than I had been in that time away from them. The message on the shirt read, “My dearest darling girl” on it.
I started crying as Amilliano walked back into the room. “What’s wrong?” He asked me, crouching a little bit to get a look at my face. I pointed at the shirt that I had been previously wearing. He picked it up and looked at it closely then noticed the stitching on the back. “Oh, was this from your mother?” My sobbing subsided after he hugged me for a few minutes. I sat down on my bed again, and he sat down in the chair. I then told him my story of how I ended up here.
He paused for a few minutes, creating an awkward silence. He then spoke. “You know what? That’s the most I’ve heard out of you since you got here.” He said, smiling. I smiled back.
I still own that shirt. At the age of eighteen, I still own a shirt that is more than half of my age.
Well, that’s how I was recruited onto the voyager. In a later chapter I will reveal the stories of my friends, my enemies, and the captain.
But let’s get back to the original story, shall we?
It’s very hard to operate the control panels on the ship, but I managed to get the hang of it two years ago. I’m also in charge of the audio, the camera systems, and the food supply.
Amilliano and I are both in charge of the food supply and cooking, so we’re really good friends now. We would even sleep in the same room together for the first few weeks after I started work on the ship. The work is hard, but if I didn’t do it, I would get in trouble with the captain.
One day, I was at the control panel for the video system when Amilliano placing his hand on my shoulder startled me.
“Hey, what’s happening? Any sign of him yet?” Amilliano was talking about the criminal we were looking for. The VOYAGER1000 is a bounty hunter ship, and we had caught over three hundred criminals since I started work.
“Yah, he’s just over there, on that monitor. See?” I pointed over to the screen, where there was a man standing around behind a large tree.
“You gonna deploy the nets?” Amilliano asked. He once told me he loved watching me do that. It’s “The thrill of the catch”, or so he called it that.
I decided to play around a little before doing it, just to tease him. “Maybe I will, maybe I won’t…” I pushed the button, and a huge net swooped down on the criminal and cought him without a struggle. The net lifted itself back into the ship, where it would cart itself to the receiving sector. “C’mon, let’s go.” I got up from my seat and started walking, but not before pulling Amilliano by the shirt collar, indicating for him to follow me.
We got to the sector, and I quickly noticed something different---The criminal we had caught wasn’t in the net. I started to look around, Amilliano doing the same. If there were a criminal loose on the ship, it wouldn’t do any good at all. The last time it happened we had lost most of our equipment.
I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder. At first I thought it was Amilliano’s, but then I noticed that it wasn’t green. It was pink, like the criminal we were supposed to have sedated by that time.
I screamed. Amilliano jumped at the criminal, careful not to upset him. Instead, the man just stepped to the side and held a knife to my neck. A small amount of blood started trickling down my neck.
“Come any closer and this knife goes deeper…” I heard a voice saying behind me. I could barely breathe, let alone try to free myself. This had happened before, but it had usually ended in a few minutes. This moment seemed to drag on for hours.
I heard a huge grunt from behind, the knife went a little deeper into my neck, and the man fell forward, dragging me down with him. I put my arms out in front of myself before I hit the ground.
A small amount of blood started pooling around the man’s head. I turned around and saw Maurice standing behind me with a frying pan. He looked down at the man and spat.
Amilliano grabbed me by the shoulder and turned me around to get a closer look at my neck. “Are you okay??? The knife cut a little deep.” He used his shirt sleeve to wipe away the blood.
“I’m fine, I’m fine. I just need a bandage.” I put my hand to my neck to stop the bleeding.
A few minutes later we were standing in front of the Captain’s desk, the captain sitting in his chair. Me neck was still bleeding, but it didn’t matter to get a bandage until the situation had been reported.
“You three did a fine job, especially you, Maurice. What you did was brave.” The captain said with a great amount of confidence. Maurice blushed a little. “And you, young lady, were VERY brave, with a knife held up to your neck, and still keeping confidence. Now go get that cut treated.”
Amilliano walked in the room, a first aid kit in hand. “Here.” He said as he started to wrap a bandage around me neck. I blushed, a little embarrassed to have him this close.
“I-I can do it myself, thank you.” I said as we walked out of the room and started toward my room.
“I know, sorry,” Amilliano said with a sheepish grin. I laughed at the look on his face.
We entered my room, and we both sat down on the bed. Amilliano looked away for a minute, creating an awkward silence.
“You know,” He started. “You’ve been here for nine years. More than half of your life. You’ve been part of this ‘family’ for so long.” He looked up at me. His light green skin and his gray hair intrigued me all the time, but I never thought I would be this interested in watching his head as it went through different expressions. I craned my neck to see his face, and it was embarrassment.
He turned back and looked at me, which startled me a lot because our faces were now only inches apart. I could feel the color coming to my cheeks, and backed away a little to give each of us some more room.
It was then that it happened.
Amilliano scooted more toward me, myself unable to move out of shock. He moved with such precision that it was almost scary, and then kissed me without warning.
He put his hand on my cheek, not allowing me to back away. The kiss was deep and passionate, but I slapped him about ten seconds into it and ran out of the room to the bathroom.
I slammed the door and locked it, then proceeded to slump over. I fell asleep an hour later, still thinking about the kiss.
I woke up in a daze, my neck now sore from the position that I was in. Someone was pounding at the door. I got up and answered. It was Amilliano himself. I rushed past him, bumping him with my shoulder and making me fall forward. I hit the ground hard, but still rushed back into my room and locked the door in there, too. I couldn’t bear to see him now. It would only happen again, and my heart would be plunged deeper into confusion.
Amilliano walked in front of me, leading me to the room where the captain subsided. I was very nervous. Would he be nice? Would he let me repay him for his kindness? I was thinking of this so much that I didn’t notice that Amilliano had stopped walking and bumped into him.
He turned and let out a small laugh. “We’re here,” He said. He knocked on the door. I heard a lot of clattering. Amilliano turned to me once more. “Don’t be shy, go on in.” He gestured me into the room and closed the door.

My untold secret.
Well, readers, it's time you knew the truth. I have no boyfriend. Not that i've said that i do, trust me! But i really wish that i did for a while. but you know what? i think i've found my actual love.
There's a boy in my class named Daniel. I've tried to approach him with the dating question many times, but i've always been too scared and just changed the subject. Then i heard from one of my friends that he had a girlfriend. I'm still wondering if that's true, but hoping that it's not with all my heart. I really like Daniel Estill with my whole being. There's not a day that goes by where I don't think about him.
Jesus Christ, why is all this so much easier to say online than in person? That's just really weird.
So please, Daniel, won't you answer me? I really think that I like you. This isn't some school-girl crush. Please say yes.
-Dawn

The tears are running
Down my face

For your love
If you don't mind
So please don't leave
The love behind------

Of the state you've left me in.
Now, love.
The race isn't out yet

And I can't believe
I was so stupid
To believe
I had a chance of winning
So don't say to my face that you don't love me.

Noel's Story Chapter 1
We all have demons in our hearts, some more than others. It is with these demons that we learn to do the most basic of human functions-living. With the small demon I had at one point in my life, I used it to the fullest.
My name is Noel. I live on the ship Voyager1000 with my captain Morodas. There’s also Amilliano, Maurice, and Michael. We were all “recruited” at different times, and everyone’s story is different. I’ll start with mine.
I was the last one recruited for this mission when I was nine years old. I was born into a family of slaves, owned by a very rich slave trader. He had a lot of other families, too, but he went bankrupt and wanted to sell most of us. He sold the adults first, not including my mother and father. Even though our families were of different classes, I was very good friends with their daughter.
But even then he didn’t have enough money, so he sold my siblings and I off to the market, where I was bought by an old man in his seventies. The work was very easy. When the old man died, I was nine years old and ran away, where I was recruited onto the Voyager1000. I’ve been working on this ship for eight years.
My demon helped me to get into a lot of trouble. First let me tell you how I was recruited.
It was weeks after I ran away that I stumbled upon a small town. I had run out of food a few days earlier, and was desperately hungry. I walked through the town with what little money I had looking for a stand that sold food cheap enough for me to buy. But there were none. I had to resort to stealing a piece of bread. It worked for about a second, but then I was caught. I remember the baker chasing me down the street. The road ended and I was stuck in a corner. I couldn’t give up that piece of bread for some reason. It was as if my body needed it just to survive. Even as I was beat to a bloody pulp in that street corner, I would not let go of that bread. My mind kept on racing to that source of nourishment, telling my body to just hold on and take the pain. I don’t know why I didn’t just eat the bread.
Then Amilliano showed up and stopped the baker from delivering that final blow. He looked strange to me, as I had never seen a grenloch before. His skin was a pale green, his hair a dark shade of gray. He kindly paid for the bread for me, the baker leaving soon after with a bloody stick in one hand. It was then that I lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I was in a small bed. The blanket was thin, and I didn’t recognize any of my surroundings. I got up out of the bed only to feel searing pain in my left leg. Looking down, I saw that there was a splint of wood holding my leg in place. It was broken, along with three ribs, my left arm and I had a fracture in my skull. The pain from my leg was enough to make me scream and drop to the floor in agony.
Amilliano and another boy I had never seen before came running into the room. Amilliano quickly knelt down to pick me up. “Are you alright?” He asked me as he set me back on the bed. “Michael, will you get me some food and water? I don’t think she’s eaten for a while.”
I could barely move my right arm, but I managed to tug on the sleeve of his shirt and utter four little words.
“My…. name…is Noel.” I managed to say before coughing up a little blood. I was really in bad shape.
The boy called Michael walked in with a bowl of tomato soup and a bottle of water, then left. Amilliano stayed with me to make sure that I could eat my food. When I managed to ask how long I had been unconscious, he told me that it had been a few days since the bread incident. I asked what happened to the bread, which was really a stupid thing to do, since I had a platter of food right in front of me.
“Oh, the bread? We saved it for when you could go back to eating solid foods. Maurice is a doctor, so he’s the one that basically took care of you for the last three days. You won’t be able to eat it for a while.” He said to me as he helped me hold up the bowl to drink the soup out of.
The food was gone in a matter of minutes. Amilliano picked up the tray that the food was on and left the room for a minute, returning with a man that looked twice his age.
“Hello, my name is Maurice. I’m your doctor. Do you mind if I take a look at your leg?” He asked me as he sat down in the chair next to my bed. I nodded, and he started to examine my leg, which was still throbbing with pain. “That stupid baker, nearly beating a child to death over a loaf of bread. You’re very lucky that Amilliano here came and stopped him; otherwise you’d be lying in the street now! Your skull was fractured a little, but I managed to fix that quickly. Your leg, arm and ribs were another story though. Just too broken to heal quick as your skull.” He talked on and on about my injuries, I all the while thinking of the boy who had just saved my life over a stupid piece of bread. It was childish to want something so much.
Amilliano leaned over and whispered into the doctor’s ear. He looked over at my face. “So your name is Noel, is it? Lovely name. I used to know a girl called Noel. Very beautiful young lady… how old are you?” I held up nine fingers. He returned to examining my injuries, still talking about his past. Maurice was one of the most talkative people I’d ever met in my life.
Amilliano returned to his seat next to me on the bed. It was obvious that he really wanted me to be all right. “Well Noel, my name is Amilliano. I’m actually two years older than you.” He continued on to telling me about himself, me listening intently.
The doctor stopped him for a minute. “Now Noel, I have to give you a shot. It’ll make you fall asleep again so that your healing process speeds up. You’ll be out for a few more days, so this shot has to be a big one and it’ll hurt.” He held up the needle for me to see. It was huge and full of a light red liquid. I shuddered at the thought of that thing in my arm.
Amilliano could tell that I was nervous, so he told me to squeeze his hand when it started to hurt. Maurice held out my arm for the enormous needle and shoved it in. I cringed the whole time, the slight burning sensation coursing throughout my body. I watched Amilliano’s hand turn from green to a bright pink as the liquid made it’s way through my bloodstream.
The second that the needle was taken out of my arm everything started to blur. My body went limp once again, drifting deeper and deeper into the long rest ahead.
My name is Noel. I live on the ship Voyager1000 with my captain Morodas. There’s also Amilliano, Maurice, and Michael. We were all “recruited” at different times, and everyone’s story is different. I’ll start with mine.
I was the last one recruited for this mission when I was nine years old. I was born into a family of slaves, owned by a very rich slave trader. He had a lot of other families, too, but he went bankrupt and wanted to sell most of us. He sold the adults first, not including my mother and father. Even though our families were of different classes, I was very good friends with their daughter.
But even then he didn’t have enough money, so he sold my siblings and I off to the market, where I was bought by an old man in his seventies. The work was very easy. When the old man died, I was nine years old and ran away, where I was recruited onto the Voyager1000. I’ve been working on this ship for eight years.
My demon helped me to get into a lot of trouble. First let me tell you how I was recruited.
It was weeks after I ran away that I stumbled upon a small town. I had run out of food a few days earlier, and was desperately hungry. I walked through the town with what little money I had looking for a stand that sold food cheap enough for me to buy. But there were none. I had to resort to stealing a piece of bread. It worked for about a second, but then I was caught. I remember the baker chasing me down the street. The road ended and I was stuck in a corner. I couldn’t give up that piece of bread for some reason. It was as if my body needed it just to survive. Even as I was beat to a bloody pulp in that street corner, I would not let go of that bread.

My Tribute to Tonya Nicole Scriven
Tonya was my sister's best friend. Two days before Lisa's 16th birthday, we got a call telling us that Tonya had been struck by a car and killed on impact.
Lisa has been mourning her death since then, and has come to accept the fact that Tonya isn't there anymore.
But in a way she is. Every once in a while, I can see her behind my sister. Tonya always said that one day she would grow wings and fly to the mountains to find her people. Now, she is even higher than the mountains.
Everyone I know misses her deeply. All I could think of when she died was that she had finally grown her wings and was with her people. For the first few nights after, I had dreams of her putting things on Lisa's windowsill. The last dream actually happened. There was a huge white feather on Lisa's windowsill, although I never told her because I didn't think she would believe me.
I remember the night it happened my best friend, also Tonya's very good friend, gave me a call. She knew that Tonya had been hit, but she didn't know that Tonya was dead. She asked me what hospital Tonya was in so that she could go see her. It was so hard telling my best friend that someone we loved was dead. My other best friend already knew and comforted me when I called him. I have the greatest friends in the world.
Tonya had a little sister named Rachelle. I had only met her a few times and knew her well. I also knew that her life would never be the same.
Why do the people we love die so soon? Is it because God is angry with us? Is it fate? I can never get the answers to those questions.
Thank you for watching this. It shows that you actually care.
I don't own this music, and I got these pictures from google.
Again, thank you for watching. Suuuuu!

Excerpt From Noel's Story
“Noel? Are you there?” The person on the screen said.
Noel watched the screen carefully, knowing that the man couldn’t hear or see her. She wasn’t to answer at all.
“Noel? Please, just answer me! Where are you?” The man wandered around, looking for the camera. He fell into a nearby pond. Noel was fighting not to answer the man’s call.
Noel’s captain came up and grabbed her shoulder as she was getting up to push the answer button. “Best not do that, or I’ll have to put you in his place.”
“But captain, he’s suffering! Can’t you see that?” Noel pointed at the screen. “You started hunting this guy weeks ago, and you’ve left him for dead once you found out that he was innocent!”
The captain said nothing.
Noel turned toward the screen again and saw that it had gone blank. But she could still hear the man’s voice.
“Noel, please just answer. I hear something coming. Please…” The voice trailed off when Noel heard a scream, followed by a chomping sound. She buried her face in her sleeve, trying to get the sound out of her head.
Her best friend, Amilliano, a grenloch, placed his hand on her shoulder. “Noel, he was trying to outrun the law. That’s illegal, and a sign that he did something really bad. Don’t worry, I think he was fated to die.”
“He was innocent of the crime we were convicting him for, though. He didn’t kill anyone!” She answered back.

Eternal Moment: Ending
I felt a sharp pain as the rope tightened around my hands. Was I going to be bound to this boy forever, wondering the earth as his prisoner?
The sudden tug told me it was time to keep moving. A tear trickled down my cheek.
* * *
We reached the edge of the country, the edge of nowhere. He turned to me and grabbed my hands, pulling me toward him. Using his other hand he pushed my face toward his and kissed me. My eyes stared at his, which were closed. I returned the kiss, resting my tied hands on his chest.
Was this really happening?
Why did I return the kiss?
His lips parted with mine. He untied my hands. “You’re free now.” He said to me as he walked away.
He hesitated for a moment. I thought about how he had protected me throughout our entire journey; this journey to my exile. I thought about the night before I tried to run, when he bought me clothes when mine were covered in my own blood. I thought about how he saved me from death. I thought about him.
I suddenly found myself walking towards him. I broke into a run, my arms outstretched. He turned around when he heard me call his name. I jumped on him, knocking him over on the dirt.
I kissed him. He returned it.
We lay there for what seemed like an endless amount of time in each other’s arms until he got up and pulled me up.
I looked at my wrists. They were red from the ropes. He took my hands in his and kissed my wrists.
We started walking toward our shared exile. At least we would be together.
The sudden tug told me it was time to keep moving. A tear trickled down my cheek.

Eternal Moment: Time
The next six months were anything but uneventful. Jeremy and I learned a lot about each other’s pasts.
I learned that Jeremy came from a family of very powerful stature. He was destined to succeed his father as the head of the family. His father runs a jewelry store. He has three sisters and a baby brother.
There was one thing I didn’t learn about him, though. It was the reason he had chosen to escort me out of the country.
One night, about five months into our trip, we were sitting around a small fire, eating our rice. He seemed very distant, as he was being very quiet. I looked at his face across the fire. There was no emotion.
“Jeremy?” I boldly said to him. He looked up at me with a look of distaste, as if I were a cockroach on the bottom of his shoe.
“What?”
I worked up the courage to ask a very important question. “Who were the three other people I killed?” My voice shook as I said the words.
He looked at me with a sudden look of pity. “You mean the three people who tried to restrain you? They were only commoners. Their names were Michael, Walt, and an old man who no one knew his name.”
I started crying. He sighed. “Look, it’s not like it was actually you in there.”
He scooted over to me and hugged me. His arms were warm, probably from the heat of the fire. My tears trickled down my face and dropped on his arms. He looked at my face and wiped the tears away with his hands and returned to holding me.
I must have cried for a few hours before I finally fell asleep in his arms. I awoke the next morning with a blanket over me and a bundle of clothes under my head.
For some reason, he never was aloud to untie my hands after my escape attempt. I guess it was for security reasons.
I was dead tired from walking. I was sick of being cold at night. How long had it been since I left?
Jeremy came over to tighten the rope on my hands, as they were very loose.

Eternal Moment: Escape
We fell asleep a few hours later, or at least he did. I crept over to his pack and dug through it for some money. I found around a hundred milaires. I crept away from the camp. I then broke into a run, running as fast as I possibly could.
It was around ten minutes later when I was caught. He tied my hands together loosely with some rope he got from his pack. My long hair hanging loosely around me, it would get in the way of the rope.
He led me back to camp where I was tied to a leash attached to the base of that small bush. He went through his pack and frowned. I watched him as he came over to me and held out his hand. I gave him back his money.
He took it contently and went back to the other side of the fire. I saw him get something out of his pack, but I didn’t know what it was until he brought it over to me, along with a small blanket.
It was a small envelope with my name on it. I tore it open and examined the letter that was inside.
Serenity,
We the government of this country hereby sentence you to life in exile. This young boy who is accompanying you shall act as your escort.
You are being exiled for two reasons. The first is because you are guilty of high treason, for doing the bidding of Raenef under his control. The second reason is because you killed your family and three other people who tried to restrain you.
Your sentence was originally death, but we had decided to lighten your sentence because you are only seventeen, and because you had no idea what you were doing.
I couldn’t read anymore of the letter. I turned my head to the side and threw up all the food I had eaten that day. The sobbing started again, only this time there was no hugs.
“How far away is the border?” I asked Jeremy.
“About a half a year away.” He replied.

Eternal Moment: Attacker
The attacker slashed at my chest, tearing my shirt down the center, revealing my chest. I dropped to the ground out of stupidity and embarrassment, holding the shirt over my breasts. I didn’t realize that the attacker was hovering right over me.
The sword slashed at my arm. I clutched the now profusely bleeding wound on my right arm. My attacker raised his sword into the air, preparing for the final strike. The thoughts rushed through my head like rapid fire. Is this how I was fated to die?
Suddenly I heard a slash. The attacker grunted and fell toward me; I got out of the way. He lay there motionless, a large red stain forming on the back of his clothes.
I looked up at my savior. It was Jeremy. He stood there, his sword dripping with blood.
He took one look at my arm, then at my clothes, which were now stained with my blood. I looked away, at anything but his face. He removed his coat and placed it over my shoulder.
“C’mon, let’s get you some clothes.” He led me to the nearest town, where I found an outfit similar to mine. He bought it for me.
We went back to camp. There was a fire already made. I didn’t have my new outfit on yet, and the only place to change was behind a tiny bush a yard away from the fire.
He grabbed my arm and examined the wound. It had stopped bleeding. He sent me to get dressed.
I went behind the small bush and changed my skirt first. They were covered and wreaked of blood. As soon as I got the skirt on, he grabbing my torn shirt and tearing it away from my body surprised me. My first free hand went to cover my breasts. My other hand slapped him across the face.
“What do you think you’re doing?!” I Shrieked.
I then noticed that he was using the old shirt as a bandage for my wound. He tied it around my arm after tearing it into a long strip.
As soon as he left, I quickly changed into my new shirt. I then went over to the fire. It was very cold out that night.
I started thinking about my old life. What was it that I had done to be exiled? Why didn’t anyone tell me?
I didn’t know it, but I started crying. My gasping sobs filled the air, my tears streamed down my cheeks and dripped on my skirt.
I felt arms around me. I suddenly realized that my escort was hugging me, singing an almost silent lullaby.
Hush,
It’s okay to cry.
Just don’t cry in front of me.
Or I’ll start crying too.
Please stop crying.
Here’s a lullaby to stop your crying.
Here’s a lullaby to stop the tears.
Here’s a lullaby to stop your crying,
You need me to wipe away your tears.
The words echoed inside of me. His arms left me.
The sword slashed at my arm. I clutched the now profusely bleeding wound on my right arm. My attacker raised his sword into the air, preparing for the final strike. The thoughts rushed through my head like rapid fire. Is this how I was fated to die?
Suddenly I heard a slash. The attacker grunted and fell toward me; I got out of the way. He lay there motionless, a large red stain forming on the back of his clothes.
I looked up at my savior. It was Jeremy. He stood there, his sword dripping with blood.
He took one look at my arm, then at my clothes, which were now stained with my blood. I looked away, at anything but his face. He removed his coat and placed it over my shoulder.
“C’mon, let’s get you some clothes.” He led me to the nearest town, where I found an outfit similar to mine. He bought it for me.
We went back to camp. There was a fire already made. I didn’t have my new outfit on yet, and the only place to change was behind a tiny bush a yard away from the fire.
He grabbed my arm and examined the wound. It had stopped bleeding. He sent me to get dressed.
I went behind the small bush and changed my skirt first. They were covered and wreaked of blood. As soon as I got the skirt on, he grabbing my torn shirt and tearing it away from my body surprised me. My first free hand went to cover my breasts. My other hand slapped him across the face.
“What do you think you’re doing?!” I Shrieked.
I then noticed that he was using the old shirt as a bandage for my wound. He tied it around my arm after tearing it into a long strip.
As soon as he left, I quickly changed into my new shirt. I then went over to the fire. It was very cold out that night.
I started thinking about my old life. What was it that I had done to be exiled? Why didn’t anyone tell me?
I didn’t know it, but I started crying. My gasping sobs filled the air, my tears streamed down my cheeks and dripped on my skirt.
I felt arms around me. I suddenly realized that my escort was hugging me, singing an almost silent lullaby.
Hush,
It’s okay to cry.
Just don’t cry in front of me.
Or I’ll start crying too.
Please stop crying.
Here’s a lullaby to stop your crying.
Here’s a lullaby to stop the tears.
Here’s a lullaby to stop your crying,
You need me to wipe away your tears.
The words echoed inside of me. His arms left me.
Eternal Moment: Alone
It was a disappointment when Jeremy sold the horse. It meant that we had to walk, thus prolonging my trip to exile. I didn’t care, though. Why wasn’t I making a huge fuss? Why did I want to go?
We reached another town the next day. He told me that he was going to find some mats in a shop somewhere for us to sleep on. He left me at the outskirts of the town with a long rope attaching my hands to a tree.
I sat there for hours. All he had left me with was a canteen of water, which I drank before noon. The tree provided very little shade, and it was very hot out.
My throat became very dry. I breathed up some of the dust in the air and started coughing. The black outfit attracting heat wasn’t very much help either. I got sunburned.
It got to the pint where I was beginning to drift in and out of consciousness. My vision blurred. My long hair felt like it was the entire earth on my shoulders. I got dizzy.
The sun rose higher and higher in the sky as the hours passed.
It was just before dusk when a soldier passed by me. He recognized my black prisoner’s apparell and unsheathed his sword.
“You must have killed someone, to be tied and dressed like that. Well, the punishment is death for that, little girl!” He said.
I couldn’t cry out for help because my throat was so dry. He lunged at me with his sword.

Eternal Moment: Begining
Eternal Moment:
Beginning
I looked up at the council, who had just sentenced me to exile. I was beaten up, filthy, and I hadn’t eaten for three days.
The head chairmen said something I couldn’t hear and pointed at the door. I looked, and a boy about my age was standing there.
“He shall be your escort out of the country.” The chairmen said to me.
I was led out of the room by one of the guards. He grabbed my long hair, which went halfway down my legs, and pulled so hard that I fell over onto the ground. What had I done? Why wouldn’t anyone tell me?
I regained my stance and kept walking. I wasn’t surprised when rocks were thrown at me once I was outside. My bare feet were covered in dirt and small cuts.
I was taken back to my cell before I left. They let me take a shower, but one of the guards had to watch for security purposes, because there was a large window. He was kind enough to turn the other way while I bathed.
They also gave me some new clothes, as mine were torn all over. The outfit was too big, but I wasn’t aloud to complain. It was a black prisoners dress, and I had to tie it around my waist. It was very itchy, and was made from old, old cloth.
They gave me a small bowl of rice, which I ate in less than a minute.
It was finally time for me to go. The boy was waiting outside the prison for me. He had a horse that was carrying a very large pack.
There was a huge crowd at the city gates. They all threw rocks. None of them missed. The people standing at the top of the city walls pelted me with rotten tomatoes. The boy did nothing. He just kept walking.
We walked for hours before he even turned around. When he finally did, he surprised me by picking me up and putting me on the horse. He got up after me. My hands were tied. He reached his arms around me and grabbed the reins. We started riding.
It was long after nightfall before we stopped. I had fallen asleep, so he took me off the horse and set me on the ground. At least that’s what I can remember.
I was woken up a few hours later, at sunrise, when we continued on our journey. I slept on the horse until we stopped at a town.
He took the horse to a merchant and sold it. He took the pack on his back.
That night he built a fire. We sat there and warmed our hands while we ate our rice. He turned to me and held out his hand.
“My name’s Jeremy.” He said.
I shook his hand. “My name’s Serenity.”
I fell over a large rock in the ground as I was walking toward my mat. My knee was hurt and bleeding. He took out a piece of cloth and tossed it to me. I tied it around my knee.
I fell asleep to the sound of the fire crackling and very quiet music in my memory.

In My Father's Shadow: the story of Miroku and Sango's Daughter
I stood over my small fragile brother, Koki. He was asleep on his tiny futon, his hands clutched as if trying to grab a marble. A little bit of drool slid down his cheek, and I wiped it off with my sleeve. I sat down, wanting to watch him all night.
I felt a hand on my shoulder. I could tell it was father, because I felt the beads. I turned to him and he smiled a little.
"Can't sleep, Kazue?" He said to me as he sat next to me and watched Koki shift in his sleep. I couldn't take my eyes off of my hand, which had the same beads wrapped around it.
"Dad?" I looked up at him, and he was watching Koki. "How come Koki doesn't have a wind tunnel?"
Father looked at me now, and you could tell by the look on his face that this was a serious subject. "Well, I honestly don't know. But be glad that he doesn't. This thing is a curse. It's lucky that the curse subsided with you."
I smiled, but I started to cry. "I hate this thing! It's going to swallow me up someday! How am I, a thirteen year old girl, possibly be happy with this thing in my hand?!" I cried some more. I didn't want to die.
Father hugged me, holding me so that my sobs were muffled by his shoulder.
"Keep in mind," He said. "That I've got it too. It will swallow me up one day, and I can never see you again."
Just then Mother walked in. I was still crying, so she took a bit of her sleeve and started to wipe my face. "it's okay, it's okay..." She kept saying to me. I fell asleep a little after that. I remember them carrying me to my room, and putting the blankets over me. I started to dream. But I never dreamed. I only had nightmares.
I was walking in the fields outside our house with Koki. He was holding my hand and picking flowers. suddenly, my right arm started to feel as if it was splitting in two. I fell on my knees and Koki went down with me. When I looked at my arm, I saw that half of it had disappeared into the wind tunnel. I started screaming as it engulfed my shoulder. My hand was still holding on to Koki. I let go so that he wouldn't be dragged in, too.
My body was fully engulfed in the wind tunnel. everything went dark...
I awoke in a cold sweat. It was morning.
I got dressed and sprinted to start my chores, as I had woken up and hour late. The chickens were restless, as if something was coming that scared them. I got the eggs and hurried back toward the house. When I got inside, I heard a loud BANG and ducked down on the floor without hesitation.
Suddenly, I heard the voices of at eight people. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAZUE!!!!!"
I looked up. There was mom and dad, My uncle, my aunt, and my three cousins. I ran and hugged aunt Kagome. Inuyasha patted me on the back. I had completely forgotten that it was my birthday.
I was swarmed by everyone, even two year old Mitzuki. Kagome handed me a package with strange wrapping on it. I opened it and in it was a brand new kimono along with an outfit that I had never seen before.
"Put on that outfit and come with me," My aunt said to me. I went to my room. It took me a half hour to get dressed, including shoes and socks. I went back to the living room and Kagome grabbed my hand and lead me out of the house. She brought me to the boneater's well.
"Ready for the trip of your life?" Kagome asked me as we stood at the edge of the well. She took hold of my hand and jumped. I felt as if I were floating, and my entire body started to tingle. We landed in the bottom of the well. for some reason there was now a ladder that had never been there before. We climbed up the ladder and entered a small Gazebo.
I had never heard such sounds. I heard the strange mobile things passing by, and I heard the sound of what Kagome called a police car. I saw a house that stood where forest should have been.
Kagome turned to me. "Welcome to my world."
I felt a hand on my shoulder. I could tell it was father, because I felt the beads. I turned to him and he smiled a little.
"Can't sleep, Kazue?" He said to me as he sat next to me and watched Koki shift in his sleep. I couldn't take my eyes off of my hand, which had the same beads wrapped around it.

CHAPTER FOUR
"Kish? C'mon, Kish, it's time to get up. Wake up, Kish."
Kish sat up and blinked. Looking down as she got up, she noticed the large black bruise on her leg.
Damn. I was hoping it was just a dream. She touched it ever so gently. It hurt a lot. She stretched and went to the sink to wash her face.
Mirie placed her hand on her shoulder, making her flinch.
"Kish, we just got news from one of the guards. The doctor's coming for our check-ups today."
the doctor was one of the only people the prisoners could trust. He was always giving them any medicine they needed. He was very handsome, with pitch black hair and blue eyes. She didn't know why, but Mirie always acted very strange around him.
"When is he coming?" Kish asked, gulping down some water.
Mirie smiled for no apparent reason. "He'll be here in an hour and a half. You'd better get ready." She rushed off to brush her hair.
Kish sighed and rubbed her eyes. She looked around. Mirie was franticly searching for her hairbrush, and Gylfie was reading a book while something that looked like a brownie (kin of fairy) was sprinkling bits of dust in her hair.
Kish pointed at the brownie. "Gylfie, when did he get here?" She said with a puzzled look on her face.
Gylfie closed her book. "Oh, Nimn? He's been here this whole time, sleeping in my pocket. Nimn, go say hello to Kish." She nugded him off her shoulder and he scurried toward Kish.
He waved at her with hand outstretched. "Hello, Kish!" He yelled. "It's an honer to finally meet you!" For a brownie, he was very small. He only reached just passed her ankle.
She crouched down so that she could hear him without him having to yell. "Nimn, how old are you?"
He held up six fingers. "This many!"
"Hmmmm..." She was sitting on the floor now. "Where is your family?"
"They left me in the woods when I was real little," He said, still smiling. "I remember them saying I was too small."
"Nimn," Kish began after a pause. "Do you think that you can do my hair, to?" She ran her fingers through her hair. It was so greasy. It hadn't been washed in months.
Nimn beamed. "I'd love to! Sure!" He climbed up to her shoulder and started picking at her hair.
Five minutes later, she looked in the mirror. She stared at her hair, shocked at how wavy it was. It had always been weighed down by grease and dirt. The shine was almost overwhelming.
She turned around to thank him, however, he was already busy chanting the cleaning spell while picking at the hair of a smiling Mirie.
I wonder why she acts so strange around him when he comes, she thought.
There was a knock on the door. The doctor was early. Gylfie put Nimn out of site before he saw him.
"Good morning Kish. Good morning, Mirie." Mirie giggled. He saw Gylfie and said, "And who is this?"
"My name is Gylfie."
"Hmm. I see. Your age?"
"Twenty-one."
"Where are you from?"
Kish thought that if he kept asking questions like that, Gylfie would deck him in the face.
However, she was very calm. "I'm from the forest."
"Ah. I see. And your friend?" He said, pointing to Nimn, who was climbing out of Gylfie's pocket.
She blushed. "His name's Nimn. He's six years old. Abandoned when I took him in."
He didn't bother to ask any more questions. "Kish, come over here, I want to see that bruise on your leg.
The next hour was spent doing monthly checkups, bandaging injuries (most of it was spent putting a bandage around Kish's leg), and getting medicine.
"Okay, Kish, rub this salve on your leg every day and your bruise should be gone in a week. Remember to change the bandages."
Mirie was giggleing like a school girl, which Kish could tell was freaking him out.
"Well, I've got to go." He walked out the door. "I'll see you again soon." And with that, the door shut and locked.
Long after they couldn't hear his footsteps, Kish burst into laughter.
"What's so funny?" Mirie asked, annoyed by Kish's sudden outburst.
"I'm sorry, it's just that you act so wierd around him!" Kish Said between laughs. Mirie started laughing, too.
Kish sat up and blinked. Looking down as she got up, she noticed the large black bruise on her leg.
Damn. I was hoping it was just a dream. She touched it ever so gently. It hurt a lot. She stretched and went to the sink to wash her face.
Mirie placed her hand on her shoulder, making her flinch.

CHAPTER THREE
"Come again?" Mirie said. She had always wanted to be a fairy, to have wings and fly high up in the clouds. After all, it was one of the reasons that she was sentenced to life in prison. She could just imagine having wings, grooming them day after day.
Gylfie went over and put her cloak back on. Just in time, too. For at that moment, the three girls heard the footsteps of the guard bringing them their meals. The girls, all except Kish, went to the door to investigate.
It was Manten. He was struggling to hold two bowls in one hand while balancing his spear and a third bowl on the other. But something was different. He must have lost a bet on a night out with his friends, because he was now bald. The girls fought to hold back their laughs.
He arrived at their door and entered their cell. He looked at Kish and Mirie. "Have you been smuggling items into the dungeon? Your hair is brushed, and her wings are clean. I want answers now." He said.
Kish said something before Mirie did. "Here's your answer." She started in a rude tone. "We've been using our fingers to comb our hair, and I've been using my fingernails to chip off dirt from my wings. Is that a good enough answer for you?"
This infuriated Manten. He rushed over to Kish. Anyone could see that he was at least two feet taller than her.
Oh no, she's in trouble again, Mirie thought.
Suddenly, Manten grabbed Kish's hair and lifted her off of the ground until she was almost higher than he was. Her eyes were shut as tight as they could be, as if it could take away some of the pain.
"Now listen, you,” Mirie could smell whiskey on his breath. "If the king would just let me have my way, I would kill you right here." he let go and she hit the ground with a huge *thud*. He went to the door and turned back halfway through. "And by the way, thanks to your new friend, your rations have been cut down by half." He slammed the door and left.
Mirie rushed over to Kish and tried to help her get up, but Kish just slapped her hand away.
"I'm fine," She said, although she had a huge bruise on her leg. "You guys can have my rations for today." She winced as she got up. She slowly limped toward her bed and pulled the cover over her head.
The two girls sat in silence for the rest of the day, moving only to go to a different spot, or to use the toilet.
That night, the two girls were talking to each other as they were lying in their cots.
“Mirie,” Gylfie started. “Has Kish always been this way?”
“Actually, yes. You see… she tries to act all tough, but she’s actually really dependent on others. She actually gets sick a lot, sometimes to the point that she can’t get out of bed.” Mirie answered.
“Wow. Sorry. Anyway, let’s get some sleep.” She turned around and pulled the blanket over her.
“Gylfie?”
She turned back to Mirie, who was just settling down in her cot. “About being a fairy,” She said. “My answer is yes.”

Gylfie went over and put her cloak back on. Just in time, too. For at that moment, the three girls heard the footsteps of the guard bringing them their meals. The girls, all except Kish, went to the door to investigate.

CHAPTER TWO
"What did you just say?" Both Kish and Mirie said to Gylfie, eyes wide open and Jaws dropped.
Kish felt both relieved and shocked. Relived because she knew that Gylfie would understand,and would likely help them in their plan to escape. Shocked because she had no idea why the Guards didn't kill Gylfie on the spot.
"you heard me," Gylfie said, annoyed by the girls' staring. "The guards didn't kill me because my cloak is hiding my wings." She untied the tie on the cloak and it fluttered to the ground, unveiling emerald green wings. She looked at hers, then at Kish's "It looks like you're not able to groom yours."
"Well of course I can't! These people refuse to give us even a hairbrush! We aren't able to bathe in days, even weeks at a time!" Kish said, startling Gylfie a little.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. Anyway, let me tell you why I'm here." She sighed, then took a deep breath. "You see, you're very important to us."
"What's so important about me?" Kish said with an annoyed tone.
"Well, for one thing, you're the only heir to the throne."
Kish's jaw fell to the floor. She staggered back, then fell over on her cott. She closed her eyes to keep from vomiting. "Did you just say 'Heir to the throne'?"
"Yes, you're the King's daughter." Gylfie said with another sigh.
Mirie stopped being silent. "you mean to say that this girl- this fifteen year old half fairy- is the heir to the kingdom of fairies?"
"YES!!!!" Gylfie said, annoyed from repeating herself over again. "She's the princess. And as long as she's a princess, she's going to need to be well groomed." Gylfie reached into her cloak, which had many pockets, and pulled out a vile of swirling blue liquid.
Both Kish and Mirie tilted their heads. "What's that?" they said in unision.
"It's a grooming product. you rub it on your wings and it'll get anything off." Gylfie rushed over to Kish and gently grabbed one of her wings, pouring some of the swirling liquid on her wings. "Mirie, there's two Brushes in my cloak. You two can work on your hair."
The Girls grabbed their brushes and got to work combing their hair. Gylfie listened to the sound of tangles being broken while vigorously rubbing the liquid over her wings. She watched as the dirt peeled away like paint to reveal a color combination like no other she had seen. Beautiful shades of gold and blue, green, and a silver that seemed to trickle down her wings like drops of water.
About an hour later, Gylfie stood back to admire the work. Their hair was pretty greasy, but other than that they looked okay. She turned her gaze to Kish's wings. She was very proud of the things that she had made beautiful.
Both Girls bowed their heads "Thank you." They said, smiling their ecstatic faces at Gylfie.
"You are ever so welcome," Gylfie said. "And I'm open to whatever plans of escape you have."
"Oh! Thanks for reminding me," Kish said, remembering her plan. "Do you think you could help me carry Mirie?"
"Carry? I have a much better idea." She went back to her cloak and pulled out another vile, only this time it was filled with a dust. It had a pitcure of a bird on it. "Mirie, how would you like to be a full-fledged fairy?"

Poster Paragraphs
These are some paragraphs for a project in school. Enjoy!!! ^-^
Cherokee weaponry is still a popular subject today. The Cherokee people would use axes, clubs, and even daggers. They would also put nails, metal spikes, or even animal teeth on the ends of their clubs. When a boy reaches the age of ten, he is taught how to make blowguns and shot darts. They were also taught how to make poison for the ends of their darts.
The Cherokee made many war treaties. In 1785, they made a peace treaty with the U.S. However, the treaty failed. The Cherokee went to war with the U.S until there was anther treaty made in 1791. The treaty enabled the U.S to take the Cherokee’s land. They used it to dig for gold, and to give their people a place to settle.
We know very little about what happened after Cherokee battles. What we do know is that after battles, a huge sacking took place. They took all of the villages gold, silver, furs, and skins, ect. A horse was a prized possession, and they enjoyed stealing them because it was reckless and took athletic skill. They would also take the scalps of the dead, and would later set the village on fire.
The most widely known Cherokee war is the war with the Anglo. It is also known as “War with those in the red coats”. It was the French verses Indian war that was caused by each party repeatedly suspecting the other of betrayal. The British sought assistance from the Cherokee after tensions increased in the 1750’s. They did agree to help, but the French had to build forts around their villages to protect them from whom they were fighting.
Many facts are floating around about Cherokee wars. The Cherokee had war chiefs and peace chiefs. They had a war with the Creeks in Tali’wa once. Before leaving for battle, the tribes would hold a ceremony for the warriors. During a few ceremonies, the Iroquois and the Chickasaw tribes attacked them. Usually, if their tribe had won the battle, there was a large feast waiting for them.

CHAPTER ONE
For as long as she could remember, Kish was an outcast. She was always teased and hated by the Pixies. That was why she wanted to live with the Fairies so badly. Being half fairy and they would accept her.
But also being half Pixie, there was a chance they would not. Pixies have always hated Fairies, but the Fairies wanted to make peace with the Pixies.
Around fifteen years ago, peace was made between two individuals. A Pixie woman and a Fairy man eloped into the Fairy woods and lived there until Kish was born. But when her mother took her home, she was punished by death. But for some unknown reason, they didn’t kill her daughter. Her father was said to have disappeared days after the death of the love of his life.
^-^
One day in the dungeon, Kish had another idea of how to escape the place that was so cruel to them.
“ Right, Kish, like that would get us out of here. Remember what happened last time? That dart could have killed you! And besides, why try it anyway? You know they’re just going to kill us in a few months.” Mirie said sarcastically.
“ Because, Mirie, we’ve still got a few months to try. If we get out this time, I promise you that we’ll get to the forest in time.”
“It just doesn’t seem right.”
“C’mon, it’ll work.”
“LUNCH!!”
The girls looked up. Standing at the door was Manten, the chief guard, and the rudest person Kish had ever known. He set the two bowls of goop down, and the girls slowly crept toward the food and quickly snatched it away before he could change his mind and take it away.
As they were eating lunch, Kish was going over her plans of escape in her mind. She was going to use one of the oldest tricks ever; using her fire power to cut through the bars on the window, then flying above the clouds to the woods. When she would get there, she would be in the kingdom of the fairies where no pixie could get to her.
The last time she escaped, it took her three weeks to get to the forest. If Mirie would come, that would make it an even four weeks. She had everything planned out. She just had to get Mirie to come with her.
^-^
That night, Kish gently tried to nudge her friend awake.
“mmmm… what?” Mirie mumbled, still half asleep.
“Mirie, I’m going to leave in three days. Please, I’m begging you to come with me.”
“Ugh. If I go with you, will you promise not to pester me ever again?”
Kish was relieved. Her best friend was going with her to the only place that they would ever be safe.
She quickly charted out her plans for escape. She thought she had everything planned out, but then Mirie asked a question that would make this plan need more thinking.
“It’s a great plan, but in case you haven’t noticed, I can’t fly. How will I get there?”
Kish thought for a moment. Then she had an idea.
“I’ll carry you.” She said with a serious look on her face.
“Are you sure?”
“Positive.”
“Okay, then it’s all set. We leave in three days,” Mirie said with a yawn.“We’ll need a lot of rest. Go to sleep now.”
“Fine, but tomorrow I have more ideas for our plan.” Kish said as she was pulling the blanket over herself.
“GOODNIGHT.” Mirie said, a little annoyed. She pulled the blanket over her head, and within minutes, Kish could hear the muffled snoring of her friend.
Before Kish fell asleep, though, she thought. She thought about how she had been locked in that dungeon for most of her life, and how she would be free soon.
Free. What a complicated word. For others, freedom didn't mean much. But for a person who had never even been to a store in their life, freedom meant so much more. It meant a warm place to stay, food that was actually worth eating, and being able to breathe clean, fresh air. Soon, she found herself drifting off to sleep.
^-^
The next morning, The two girls awoke to something quite alarming. The guards were shoving a girl into the cell. She was wearing a purple velvet cloak, and was muttering curses as they locked the door. She turned around to Kish and Mirie and flinched.
"Terribly sorry you had to hear that," She said while doing a curtsey with her cloak."My name's Gylfie. And you are?"
^-^
As the two girls stared at their new cellmate, all Kish could think was that she would have to reveal her plan to her and make a lot of changes in the next three days.
"And your names are?" The girl named Gylfie said in an almost annoying tone.
"Well, my name is Mirie and this is my half fairy friend, Kish." Mirie piped out.
Suddenly surprise overtook Gylfie's eyes. "Did you just say 'half fairy'?" She said, looking at Kish.
"Yeah, whats it to you?" Kish said, annoyed by the girl already.
"Oh, jeez," Gylfie said, looking at Kish as if kish was superior to her in every way. She intied the tie on her cloak and it flutterd to the floor thus unveiling two light green wings. "I'm a full fairy."
^-^
But also being half Pixie, there was a chance they would not. Pixies have always hated Fairies, but the Fairies wanted to make peace with the Pixies.

PROLOGUE
As Kish was sprinting toward the woods, she quickly glanced behind her shoulder. The townfolk were gaining, and it didn't look as if they would spare her mercy.
She knew what she had to do. She removed her cloak and thrust it to the ground, thus unveiling her wings and pixie ears. Quickly as she could, she flew up into the air and threw fireballs at the vicious crowd. She hated to do it, but she had to.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her side. She looked. A dart was sticking out of her waist. Her body felt weak. Her vision blurred. She felt herself falling. She lost consiousnes when she hit the ground.
When she came to, she found herself back in the dungeon with her usual cellmate, Mirie.
"Welcome back, friend!" She blurted out.
Without hesitation, Kish pulled the paper thin blanket over her head and turned over. She then fell asleep, wondering if she would ever be able to leave the horrible place that was the Pixies' city.

DARKNESS
You left me and shut off the light.
Now I am in darkness.
My face is stung by the cold feelings you left behind.
The loving things you have said to me you have taken with you.
Will you ever come back?

EXTINCT
We are alone.
Our people are being killed.
Little by little,our species are perishing.
What are we?
We are the African wild dogs.
And soon, we will be extinct.
Civilization is tearing away at our home,
Forcing our prey to leave and go to different places.
We are the African wild dogs.
And soon, we will be extinct.

HOME
A girl walks down a dark hallway.
Looking for her place, not finding the way.
Where does she belong?
She sighs, wondering.
When will she get there?
She is overcome with fear.
Will she ever get there?
She collapses, crying.
Tears streaming down her cheeks,
A door opens.
She recognizes the voice.
"This is where you belong." The loving voice says.
She gets up and walks in.
A bright light, and feelings of warmth surround her.
She knows where she is.
She is home.
