A Hayu's Dream

and go. I woke up Bruce. He followed me outside and waited patiently by the tree as I went. I also threw up. Bruce carried me inside the citadel. He laid me on the bed and cuddled next to me. I snuggled next to him. It was good to be held. I fell asleep. When I woke up, Bruce and Rani were fighting David. He got in the compound again. Bruce and Rani are blocking his way. I could lip-read David telling them about me pregnant with his child.
David: "She's pregnant with my child!"
Rani: "Like the depths! It's Bruce's child!"
Give me a break. I’m already pregnant. I’m feeling cranky and my ankles hurt. They feel swollen. A Mesan’s Curse came by and hauled David by the ear out of the citadel. I keep wondering how David got inside the compound. I asked Bruce how he got inside the compound. Rani explained that David have the power to turn invisible and can walk unseen by Mesan’s Curse. It explains why David has been getting in here. Rani restrained Bruce. Bruce looked furious. I went outside and threw up. I went behind a tree and felt someone grab me by the neck. Bruce came out of the citadel with Rani. I felt David’s hands on my neck. Both Bruce and Rani froze as they watched David haul me out of the compound. I felt David’s hands away from my neck. I turned around and found a Mesan’s Curse cutting David’s head off. It was very gross and disgusting. Bruce and Rani dug a grave and dumped David down the grave. I thanked the Mesan’s Curse for saving my life. He nodded his head. I went behind a tree and threw up. I think I might be having triplets. I don’t know.

Dear Anne,
I think I might be having triplets or twins. I don’t know. I’m feeling a little tired. I didn’t sleep well last night. I kept waking up due to the lightening storm. Bruce slept besides me. We slept spoon fashion. I woke up to get up and look outside the window. It was raining out. The rain was a little hard. I put my diary under my pillow and went outside in the rain. I saw Bruce. He picked me up and carried me back inside the citadel. We caught Jella reading my diary. She apologized. Bruce wasn’t happy about that. He went back outside to get some food for Jella and me. He brought fruit. We ate the fruit. I noticed that Jella seemed confused when she read my diary. It was like she couldn’t read my handwriting or the language. I write pretty neat but a little sloppy. I write pretty fast. I went back to sleep. I don’t know what Bruce did while I was asleep. I felt someone try to take my diary from my pillow. I woke up to see Rani. I was annoyed. I told him that my diary is not of his business. I went to my backpack and found the Edenia book. I gave it to him to read. He tried to read. The language in the book confused him. It’s in English. Well he handed it back to me. I put the book in the backpack. I don’t know who wrote the book in the first place. The only clue is the person was a Human I got up to look out the window and I felt pain. It stopped raining. I clutched my belly. I saw Jella who told me to go back to bed. I lay down on the bed and the pain went away. Jella thinks I had contractions. I think I might be bedridden for a while. Bruce came and he snoozed next to me. Rani was elsewhere. I’m not sure. Jella told me to baby-sit for her baby Ranijell for her. She handed me the baby then went out the room. I hope she comes back. Bruce woke up and is holding the baby. The baby is cute. He’s walking back and forth. The baby is crying. Bruce thinks walking back and forth might help the baby fall asleep. I hope Rani and Jella come back soon. Jella and Rani came back. They had a smug look on their faces. I think they had sex. I’m not sure. Jella’s clothes looked a little ripped a bit. I think they did have sex. I’m not sure. I don’t know. I asked them for their last name. Jella wouldn’t tell me. She told me to name one of the babies after David. I asked her why. She told me he save our lives from the Sakul. Bruce handed them back Ranijell. I stayed in bed. I think I might be having twins. Jella examined me. She thinks I’m having twins. Bruce went to get food. He got some vegetables and I ate in bed. I think I’ll be bedridden for awhile. It was very nice. I feel I have to throw up. I think I’ll go outside and sit besides a tree.

Dear Anne,
Yesterday I went outside and sat besides a tree. I didn’t throw up. I fell asleep besides the tree. I woke up in the morning with a blanket on me. Bruce had his head on my lap. He had a hand on my abdomen. I’m sure I’m having twins. Jella came out of the citadel. I asked her how long my pregnancy would last. She explained that the average Amula pregnancies last one week. I'm shocked but I’m curious on how long is one week. At least I don't have to wait nine months to have the babies. I could have the babies any time now. Bruce got me some food from the garden. I ate it then I threw up. Bruce carried me inside the citadel. I found Jella lying on the bed nursing Ranijell. I felt some pains. I complained to Jella. She thinks I’m in labor. I had a powerful urge to push. Jella handed the baby to Rani and helped me take my clothes off. The labor was hard. It wasn’t that painful. Jella helped me give birth to two twin boys David and Daniel Arkov. I had to change into my Wolf form to give birth to the babies. David was born first then Daniel. Jella told me to use the last name Kellar. I told her our last name was Arkov. She spoke her last name was Kellar too. Whoa. I don’t believe this. Wow. Jella insisted that we drop the last name Arkov and keep Kellar. I asked her why. She explained that Arkov is a Human name. Bruce and I conversed in sign language and decided to keep her suggestion. Jella asked us about our hand language. I explained it’s a way for the deaf to communicate. She seemed surprised. I’m a little tired. Bruce is holding the babies and is rocking them. I fell asleep. I had a good morning. I’m sure the babies are hearing. I woke up with a bad headache. I dreamed that I was in a room with white walls all around. I was lying on a bed. Beings with hoods were poking and prodding me. I fell asleep and then woke up an hour later. I saw Bruce on the floor asleep. I think he fell out of bed. Rani was examining Bruce. I asked what was wrong with Bruce. Rani explained Bruce fell out of bed complaining of having a headache. I told Rani I had a headache too. It’s a little bad. Rani told me he and Jella have headaches too. I got up and looked out the window. I could see several people with pitch forks enter the compound. There were twenty people. They acted like they were in a trance. I told Jella and Rani that. I grabbed my babies and held them. Bruce got up and stood near the door. The people with pitchforks entered the citadel. Bruce’s eyes flared yellow. Several Mesan’s Curse stood near the door entrance with their swords drawn. The pitchforks people entered the room we were in. Bruce knocked several pitchforks from their hands. The people were knocked out. The Mesan’s Curse whacked them on the head with their swords. Bruce and Rani punched them in the face. We all are still having headaches. I started hearing voices telling me to kill someone. I complained to Bruce that. He told me he was hearing voices too. We told Jella and Rani that. Rani and Jella confirmed that they were hearing voices too. The voice spoke of sadness. I think. It reminded me of my father's voice. I don't know. Rani picked up a pitchfork and attacked Bruce with it. Bruce knocked him out. Jella was ashamed in his behavior. The Mesan’s Curse told us that we were immune to the High Council’s mind walking power. The voices stopped talking in my head. I told Bruce that. He told me the voices stopped too. Bruce went over and knocked Jella out. She was acting strangely like trying to get a pitchfork. I examined the people there were twenty besides Rani and Jella. There were ten women and ten men. I wonder how Bruce and I are immune to the High Council’s mind walking power. I asked the Mesan’s Curse. They told us in sign language that our deafness makes ourselves immune to the mind walking power. Well Bruce and I moved to another room. We left the others lying on the floor. It's been hours since the twenty were knocked out. I'm babysitting for Jella's baby Ranijell. I think her pregnancies here are fast. I noticed that Jella is putting on weight. Bruce and the Mesan’s Curse are busy knocking them out. David and Daniel are asleep on another bed. I needed the quiet time. It’s a good thing I can't hear. I suspect that this High Council who ever they are is ve
ry determined to kill us off. I really hope not. I can't wait for Jella to wake up. Bruce brought her in the room and laid her on the bed. A Mesan’s Curse is watching her. I put Ranijell next to her and undid her top. The baby is sucking her chest must be hungry. I look over at David and I could see he's asleep. There are differences in both babies. I can tell which one is David and which one is Daniel by their eyes. David has blue eyes like mine. Daniel has green eyes like his father Bruce. Both babies have a shock of brown hair. I'm surprised that there is brown hair. I'm surprised I don't know where they got the brown hair. No one in my family has brown hair. Both of my parents have blonde hair. Luke's hair is black. I think David hair was brown. Maybe that’s how they got the brown hair. I don't know.
Yours,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
I woke up to see Jella. Jella woke up with a headache. She woke up clutching her head. Then she stopped clutching her head. I noticed that she's putting on more weight pretty fast. I asked her how long do
