Final blog- A New Begining

 

As our journey continued we further taught Petra how to communicate through thought shape so she could tell us who this “Zealand” woman was. Petra roughly translated that it was a place where the houses were bigger; there are funny carts without horses on the roads, and there were flying things in the air with whizzing things on top of them. The more Petra spoke of this, the more excited David seemed to get.
 I must have fallen asleep, because not long after David woke me to tell me we were almost at the wild country. As I got up off the wooden floor in the basket I noticed something coming towards us not 50 miles away. It was a man, he dropped the reins of his horse and reached for his bow and arrow the arrow barely missed us. Me and David began to shoot at the man and my second shot took his horse in the chest. The horse rode away kicking the man into the bushes. We passed the man and made our way into the land of deviation called the wild country. We saw new species of crops and animals, things there just didn’t seem right. Some odd hours later Michael informed us that the Waknuk people had found our trail and were heading our way. He also gave us some disturbing new about Sally and Katherine. With Katherine’s communication down, she was presumed dead, and Sally’s mind was messed up as if they were torturing her. If they found us they would surely to the same. I fell asleep. When I woke up Petra seemed rather sad, but then began to tell us more about the magical place of Zealand. She told us that everyone could make think pictures there, and no one wanted to hurt anyone that could. When darkness fell over the Wild country we began to move again. After about three hours of darkness without any warning a gun shot went passed us. It scared our horses. They began to run off course. Before we knew it we were under thick trees in the middle of no where. It was very difficult t o tell where we were going. And at one point something dropped on David crushing him. I was scared. It was the first time that I actually admitted to myself how much I loved David. Seeing him hurt hurt me to. Petra couldn’t seem to get through to him but I could because I love him, Petra calls the kind of thing me and David have “behind speak”. Things you could only do when you’re in love.Michael interrupted the moment by asking if David was ok. I told him he was just that he jumped by a fringes person who jumped down from the branches of a tree. The fringes people made us get down on the ground until they found out who were. Michael warned us the pursuit is back in full force, and that was that. The fringes people jumped us then captured us as prisoners. The up side to this was me and David could now communicate to the Zealand woman as well. They are coming to rescue us. The Fringes people bring us deeper into the fringes until we are brought to a man who looks like a spider. His name is Gordon Strorm, and David’s Uncle. Gordon tells us about his past and how he wants to get revenge on Waknuk people. I am scared by the way Gordon looks at me. His intentions seem dark. David informs me that the only reasons they are keeping me and Petra are for breeding purposes. This makes me sick. The led David out, separating us. They beat him unconscious. Me and Petra were brought to Gordon’s tent, where we were held. A while later David’s thoughts came through telling me to keep Petra quite while one of David’s old friend’s Sophie came into the tent to save us. The plan proved successful, me and Petra ran from the tent while Sophie killed him. It was Gruesome to say the least but at least we were together again. I had never seen Sophie before but the first time I did she seemed very judgmental. She looked me up and down, pulled down her dress top without embarrassment, and told me to get rid of the cross I wore on my dress. I could already tell she didn’t like me. David explained to me in words that Sophie didn’t like me because the spider man liked me and Sophie loved the spider man. Sophie slowly got up approached me and in a tone most violent began to yell at me. Sophie gave a hint that maybe spider man wasn’t the one she loved, but David was. I could not sympathize for this girl, the only one that I loved was David and he loved me to. Petra comforted Sophie and as the day went on we fell asleep in Sophie’s cave. When I awoke David seemed stressed. He was contemplating whether to kill his father or not. The Zealand woman heard this and told David not to kill him. Sophie told me David and Petra to lay low for a while because people will be concerned their two breeders are missing. I’m reluctant to put my trust in Sophie, she seemed very jealous of me earlier, but I took David’s word and decided to trust her. Not much later we got confirmation that the Zealand woman was only 8 ½ hours away. A while later Sophie told me, David, and Petra that the Waknuk people are approaching. We could tell when the Waknuk people were here there were shots, bangs, screams. It was horrible. Spider man shot David’s father killing him, and then in a desperate haze to escape Spider man and Sophie were shot dead. All of a sudden white webs of some sort wrapped around us choking us harder the more we moved. A woman came down from the flying machine that had sprayed everyone with the white web, she was very pretty but not like any other girl I’d seen, she was very clean, and her hair was like a boys. She sprayed me, David, Petra, and Michael with something to make the webs go away. Everything was silent. As I got onto the flying machine I noticed the white webs had killed every one. EVERYONE WAS DEAD. The Zealand woman rationalized her behavior by telling us they had nothing to live for. They had to die in order for their species to survive. We were all ready to begin our new lives in Zealand, when Michael asked if we could stop to pick up Rachel. We did not have enough fuel. Michael having loved Rachel for so long decided to stay in Waknuk with Rachel, and maybe one day they will find their way to Zealand to. We agree and me, David and Petra begin our adventure in Zealand.

Goodbye Waknuk

It was early morning when I got disturbing news that Sally and Katherine had been captured and taken by the people of Waknuk. Everyone now knew what we were and we had to leave immediately. I got through to Petra, luckily she was awake, and told her to wake David. David and Petra came to my barn about a half hour later. David had not packed much but we made due with what we had. I stole two of my father’s great horses and two of my father’s baskets and we were gone. We kept in touch with Michael who was still in Waknuk because no one suspected him he was leading the search party in the wrong direction. A couple hours after David and Petra had fallen asleep I saw a man following us. I got startled I raised my arrow and before I knew what I was doing I had shot him dead. I had killed a man.
Michael reassured me through thought shapes that I had done the right thing. That this was a war. David told me to hide the body so I did, under a cluster of leaves. I wiped the arrow off and we began on our journey again. Later that day we were all sitting in the baskets when a sharp pain went off in our heads. We had no doubt it was Katherine they were killing her. Michael told us they were taking our gift very seriously, we had been living among them for about 20 years now they were afraid of us and our gifts. We continued our journey. We were scared. A couple hours after sunset Petra sent out some very disturbed thought shapes. She told us she was communicating with a woman who wanted to know more about her and us. She lived in a place called Zealand. Or as Petra liked to call it Zealand.

Petra, Anne, Alan

A couple days ago Davids mother gave birth to a girl. They named her Petra. The inspector examined her a couple hours after her birth and said she was normal, but me and David could prove that wrong.One while I was outside in the garden when something hit me, not physically, but mentally it was like a blot of lightning went off inside my head. Then i started running. I didn't know where I was going. It was like i was being controlled. I ran all the way to the river where i saw David pull an unconscious Petra out of the water. Petra had the same ability we did. Except she was stronger. Controlling even. Seconds later people who had followed us appeared at the river. This raised some questions. "How did you hear her?" . Me and David lied and said we had heard her screaming, but when no one else said they heard her to, people started to get suspicious of us. We were scared people were begining to catch on.


Not one month had passed and Anne told us she was getting married to Alan Ervin. How could she marry a norm? It would be like giving up a whole part of her life. What is she told him about us? Anne refused to listen to us and married him anyways. It was a short marrige as a couple weeks later Alan was killed by an arrow through the neck. Naturaly Anne blamed us and cut off all connections with us. She wouldn't even allow thought shapes from her own sister, Rachel. It went on like this for a while, Anne being stubborn, until one day when Rachel decided to pay her a visit. Rachel knocked for a while, but Anne wasn't answering the door. Rachel went to the neighbour, and the neighbour let her in. They found the pregnant widow hanging dead. on one of the tables in the house was a note adressed to the inspector. Anne had denounced all the mind talkers, including Petra and blaming them for the murder of her husband Alan. The letter didn't get to the inspector as Rachel found it and burnt it. We were going to have to be alot more careful who we told about us.

A few years past before i felt that lightning bolt in my head again. Once moreI ran deep into the forest until I saw David but he wasn't standing beside Petra he was with a dead creature, and Petra's dead pony. David seemed to be looking for Petra. We found her in a tree hiding. Petra was the one who had compelled us to come help her. We know knew she was more powerful than all of us. Mike and a few of the others showed up. David told them to leave. After they had left Sally and Katherine showed up followed by a mysterious man. The man proved to be Jerome Skinner; he was very suspicious of us. We were very close to being found out so we decided to pack our things just in case. 

The Begining

Hello, my name is Rosalind Morton, and this is my life. I live in a small farm town called Waknuk. My fathers name is Angus Morton.He is the owner of the biggest horses in Waknuk.My half uncle, Joseph Strorm, doesn't fully approve of my fathers horses. He calls them Blasphemies.Blasphemies and Offences are far from accepted in my town. David Strorm is my uncles son and my half cousin. He and I have ESP and can talk through thought shapes in our heads.The only people who know we can do this is David's uncle Axle, my mother, and our friends who also have ESP. Their names are Mike, Anne, Katherine, Rachel, Sally, and Mark. We live normal lives other than the fact that we can comunicate through thought. But as we age people are begining to get more and more suspicious of our abilities.If people were to find out, we would be banished to the fringes with all the other "Blasphemies". I have started this blog to document our journey, in the hopes that if we are found out, future generations will be able to tell what came of us.
