Tak's Diary
Dear Diary, I just woke up. I'm in the hospital. I can't find Eti. She was in the bed next to me, but now she's gone. The bed is clean and made, and it looks as if she hasn't been there at all. She's probably out of the hospital already. She was always the first to get to her feet. I'm going to ask the nurse that just came into my room about Eti. This is ridiculous. I just asked her, and she replied, "They was no one in the bed next to you. You must be mistaken." But that isn't true. I remember being put in this bed next to Eti's bed, and I remember when they stuck the IV in our arms. Eti and I talked, and then, we fell asleep. Where is my sister? The tests came in. I'm fine, and they're going to let me go. But as soon as I get out, there will be a voot-runner waiting for me. The doctors told me. My father will be in it, and so while I am taken to my new job, we'll have some time to talk. I am being rushed down the stairs and now I am outside of the hospital. I'm waiting. I see a voot-runner! I'm walking over to it. It's really quite big, and it's purple. You can tell its father's. I'm going inside. I see father, and he is sitting down, staring at me. There is a driver in the front, but I can't see his face. "Father, what happened to Eti?" I ask. He's looking at me. No emotion. He used to say that emotions mean that someone is weak. "We can't talk about her. Pretend she never existed." He says. I shake my head. "No!" I say. He grabs my arm. "You have to, it's the only way you'll be safe. Now, be silent. Let's talk about your janitorial squad." He says, trying to change the subject. I am forced to swallow my curious feeling. He lets go of my arm. "You're going to planet DIRT." He announced. My mouth hung open. "DIRT? DIRT? I can't go to that place! It's.planet DIRT!" I say. He smiles. Why is he smiling? His only other daughter that isn't dead, or missing, is being sent to another planet to clean up- FOR SEVENTY YEARS! I am speechless. My leader, my father, betraying me and allowing them to send me to this horrible place. "Tell my where Eti is now." I say. I don't care if he yells at me; I need to know. "I told you, we will not speak of her." He says. I am silent. I'm not talking to him. It's been one entire day! We are here. Wow, that didn't talk very long. I'm stepping out, and I'm alone. There aren't any inhabitants on this planet. Father hands me a mop and a bucket of water. "Good Luck, you'll need it!" He sings, and the door closes, and I can hear his laughter as the ship drives away. I'll show him, I'll show all of them. I am the elite one here, and I deserve to be an invader. I don't deserve to be a janitor on planet.DIRT! I guess I'll start now. On the other hand, I have a better idea! It'll take a long time, but I'll do it. But I must work quickly. I have to search. I have to make a shelter here. I wonder if there are any people who live here. It doesn't look like it, though. But I'll have to go searching for someone before I put my plan into action. I have to go.
Love,
INVADER TAK!
