i,,I've been here for a few days now, it's really beautiful out here. I never really noticed how many animals live in the forrest. Mostly bugs, but also a lot of birds. Because Bray is almost always with Amber, and Pride and Danni are together a lot too, I became pretty good friends with Moon, she's a really nice 14-year old girl, just like me, if I may say so. I learned the way of the forest from her and I helped her learn some Dutch, she really is a language-girl, I on the other hand am more of a math-girl, I was never really good at strange languages, except for English of couse. And I had enough of them to learn that! I had, besides Dutch and English, four languages in school! And the only one I liked from those was Greek, which doesn't get you that far, because we learned old greek, which isn't spoken anymore. But as I was thinking, Moon was really good at Dutch, and we got along great. It is nice to talk to someone in my homelanguage a bit, even though I'm pretty good at English too and I still talk to myself in it. In an hour we'll go take a walk to an agient old temple that's around here somewhere. I love to see it, I'm fasinated with history, how could people build things hundreds, sometimes thousands of years ago that where so good, that they still stand? It's just amazing! Don't you think so? Yeah, I think so! Oh, stop it! Okay. Talking to myself, great, what's next? I believe talking to yourself is the first sign of madness, I just hope it isn't! Well who cares, I think I'm destined to go crazy anyway!"/i

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(after having visited the temple) i,,Wow, that was really facinating! That thing must have been atleast a few hundred years old! And it'll probably still be here next year, and the year after that.. I don't even know if I'll still be here next year. Some part of me hopes I will be and another part hopes I'll be back home by then. I guess that makes it easier, because now it doesn't matter if I get home or not, I will always have what part of me wants. But I think I should be prepared to go, and I have to prepare them for me going. What if I suddenly disappear? Then the Chosen would still be able to get here! I only warned them a little! And the Techno's! What if they come, they won't know what hit them and they might still get Bray, so he and Amber would be seperated after all I've done! I can't let that happen! I have to write down everything I know about the Tribe so If I get back home, or maybe even get killed, they will know what to do. So I think I'll go and fetch some paper."/i

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

,,Hey Morgaine, what are you looking for?"-Amber.

,,Oh, just some paper and stuff, but what are you doing here? Why aren't you with Bray?"(smiling)

,,We don't have to be together every minute! He's just talking to Pride and the rest of the Eco's and I wanted to just sit down, it was a busy day."- Amber.

,,Yeah it was."

,,So, I didn't get a chance to thank you before."-Amber.

,,For what?"

,,For helping me find Bray again."-Amber.

,,You never lost him, he lost you."

,,I know, then thank you for letting him find me and helping me to realising that I love him and didn't want to loose him."-Amber.

,,You're welcome."

,,I just hope . . . "-Amber.

,,What did you say?"

,,Nothing (sigh), I just hope he feels the same way."-Amber.

,,About loving you? Are you crazy? Can't you see that his whole world evolves around YOU? You're not just a part of his life, you ARE his life."

,,I couldn't have said it better myself!"-Bray (wrapping his armes around Amber and kissing her).

,,Hey."-Amber (glowing).

,,Hey yourself"-Bray (staring into her eyes and looking VERY happy).

,,Uhm . . . I uh . . . was just . . . "-Amber (still staring into Bray's eyes).

,, . . . staring lovingly into Bray's eyes."(smiling).

,,Yeah . . . what?"-Amber (now looking at me, still not quite back to earth).

,,Nothing (lauphing), see what I mean?"

,,About what?"-Amber.

,,About loving him as much as he loves you."

,,Uhm, yeah, right."-Amber (starting to snap out of it).

,,You guys! I've never seen anyone look so in love!"

,,Sorry. I just-"-Amber (both she and Bray looked guilty).

,,-love him, I know. And I wasn't mad, just happy for you two. You look so happy, I just hope I find somebody who loves me as much as you do each other someday."

,,I'm sure you'll find somebody."-Bray.

,,Yeah, I know you will."-Amber.

,,Thanks guys."

,,But what I wanted to ask, why did you help us?"-Amber.

,,Because I wanted to see you happy, both of you and I knew that if I did nothing you would both be miserable for a long time. I couldn't let that happen, not if I could help it."

,,What do you mean? If you hadn't told me about Amber still being alive, she would have come back when she got better, so that wouldn't be that long."-Bray.

,,No, I wouldn't have."-Amber (looking down).

,,What do you mean? You wouldn't have come back? Why not?"-Bray (looking confused and a bit desperate).

,,I thought you'd lied to me."-Amber (starting to cry).

,,Why would you think that? I love you more than anything, I'd never lie to you!"-Bray.

,,Do you want me to tell him? (Amber nodded) It was Ebony."

,,What about Ebony? Did you thought I loved her or something?"-Bray.

,,No, that wasn't it. Ebony told Amber you and her had a baby and she showed Amber a picture of you two holding one. So Amber thought you had hid that from her."

,,WHAT!!! But that's not true!"-Bray (getting really mad).

,,I know."-Amber (sounding really weak and still crying).

,,How could you believe that? How could you believe her?"-Bray (now looking hurt).

,,Because she was already very weak from almost dying up there on Eagle Mountain and Ebony did have a picture and you know how convincing she can be. And that stay of yours with Ebony and after that bringing her with you didn't make it any better. She just didn't know who to believe anymore. And don't yell! Can't you see how bad she's feeling about all this?"

,,I'm sorry Amber, I wasn't mad at you, I was mad at Ebony. (Holding her close and drying her tears) But you know how much I love kids, do you think I would hide having one? No matter who the mother is."-Bray.

,,I shouldn't have believed it, it was so stupid of me!"-Amber (looking at Bray from behind her tears).

,,It's not your fault, don't worry about it anymore. Come on, I'll take you to bed, that's been enough excitement for one day."-Bray (gently lifting her up and taking her to her hut). ,,Bye, sweet dreams."

,,Bye."- Amber (she was still sobbing a bit).

i,,So now I think I should find that pen and paper and start writing down what's going to happen."/i

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(A few minutes later) ,,Hay, what are you doing?"-Bray.

,,I'm writing down what I know happend, because I could suddenly be gone or even die and then you wouldn't know what is coming, and if you find this, you would know a bit about it and you can prepare for it. But I have to warn you that somethings might have changed, because you found Amber and everything."

,,Why don't you just tell me?"-Bray.

,,Because some things you're better of not knowing and I probably can't remember everything so if I see something I forgot, I can still help you with it and some things you just have to see before you understand, like about tribes that haven't come yet, there is no point in telling you the whole story about a tribe if you now stop them with one fight. Understand? So this is just for safety."

,,Okay, and with things that I'm better of not knowing you mean like about what Ebony did? I understand why, seeing how I reacted! I even made Amber cry!"-Bray (looking really guilty).

,,Don't worry, you have the right to be mad, Ebony shouldn't have done that, but I think we should go back to the Mall soon, you don't want Lex and Ebony in control for too long do you?"

,,No! They would sell the antidote and would defenitly not be democratical."-Bray.

,,No, I don't think so. Hay Pride and Danni, come sit with us!"

,,Hay, what are you guys doing?"-Danni.

,,We were just talking about that we should go back to the Mall soon, with Lex and Ebony running things it can't go well for long."

,,You got that right! But I don't know if I'm going back."-Danni.

,,Why not?"-Bray.

,,Because I . . . (looking at Pride) want to stay with the Eco's."

,,Oh, I get it."-Bray (smiling).

,,Do you think Amber is strong enough to go all that way?"-Pride.

,,I don't know, that's what I'm worrying about."-Bray.

,,I'll go and ask Moon, maybe she knows if Amber is strong enough. Back in a flash. iI'll go to Amber's hut first, maybe Moon is with her. (a few minutes later) Well, she's not with Amber, alright now maybe she's in her hut./i (knocking on her door) Moon, are you awake?"

,,Sure I am, (opening the door) what is it?"-Moon (not looking tired at all).

,,I just wanted to ask you if Amber is strong enough to go back to the city."

,,Yes I think she is, but only if you walk slow, it would probably take two days now and it would be really exhausting for her."

,,Okay, thanks Moon."

,,Goodnight."-Moon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

,,Moon says it's okay, but that it would probably take two days now to get to the city and that it is very exhausted for her. Oh, sorry, you were saying?" (Bray and Pride had been talking and looked like they had become friends.)

,,I was just saying that I'll probably come with you, Bear, he's our tribal leader, want's me to see more about what's going on in the city."-Pride.

,,That's great! And what about you Danni?" (smiling)

,,I think I might come too."-Danni.

,,We'll be very happy to have you two with us."-Bray (watching smiling to the both of them).

,,Alright, so when should we leave?"-Pride.

,,Why not tomorrow?"

,,Fine by me"-Danni.

,,Okay, tomorrow it is."-Bray.
