I entered my hut. The door wasn't locked like I left it ten months ago. I stood relatively helpless in the kitchen. I threw the pumpgun over to the desk and walked to my room, to get clean clothes, mine were totally destroyed by the forest and the daily attacs of raptors. I took a black sirt and grey throusers. After going to the bathroom I took a short shower under cold water and then looked into the mirror: A twenty-year old man looked at me suspiciously. His brown culy hair looked like he stood up just a minute ago and his eyes... My eyes have different colors. One is green like the leaves in te jungle and the other one is of an icy blue.
I cursed the mirror and took on the shirt. I never liked mirrors anyway. They showed me with all my scars and all my emotion. My eyes show them right good, but my face is emotionless everytime I look in the mirror. I went to the living room only with the throusers on and the shirt open. Tomorrow I had to introduce myself to the soldiers. I've always hated to declaim on something, I don't care about what. I don't like people an I don't like to be popular. Great job, to be the teacher. I made a face at the thought to be popular.
Right then the doorbell rang. I winced and walked over to the door. I opened and there she was: The girl I saved from the raptors. 'Ahm, hello...!', she spoke silently. 'G'day! What' up?' I made room so that she could come in. She followed and went into the livin room. I swore she was red like a ripe tomato. I grinned and asked again: 'What's up?' She smiled a bit. 'I just wanted to thank you. It was very brave of you to fight against the raptors... And it was foolish of me to run around in the forest alone. I was lucky you were there.' I shrugged and smiled a bit. 'Let me think, Taylor sent you to say that. I know him good enough.' She looked away and nodded. Now I began to laugh a very bit, it made her a bit angry. 'Stop it!' I stopped and grinned. 'Foolish little bird...' I told her and sat down. 'What do you mean?!' she asked, but I just grinned my silly grin. 'Oh nothing little bird.'
When she was gone I walked through Terra Nova. I thought of what I could say to the crowd of soldiers tomorrow. My feet took me over to the graveyard of the Terra Nova Colony. I looked at my hand, I took a red rose with me. Wash had been a good friend. 'I can't believe you're gone my friend...' I whispered and let it go. The rose fell on the grave and I smiled sadly. 'Rest in peace, Wash.' I turned around and went back. I didn't notice Skye, who stood infront of two graves together wth an older lady, her mum.
