Hello my name is Moon, not to long ago me and my brother Akia, were sent by our village to hunt for food we could not find near by. Our leader told use “it will take many days to find the food the village needs”, since then me and my brother have been gone. We've found tracks of a cougar, but the tracks have been fading away. “I’m not sure if we’ll find the food the village needs, with these tracks fading away moon!. ” “ Akia be quit the tracks are coming in fresh were close”. So from that point on he was quit, we followed the tracks from were they came till it stoped. “ Were did they go?!, they cant just vanish out of thin air!” Akia shouted. “ I-i don’t know were they went, but its almost sun down we need some rest,” i said but this will be our last night together. “ Moon, can you please find some wood for the fire?”. So for him being my older brother i did as tolled. “I’m back Akia...Akia?.” Was i worried i thought, of course i was my only family left is gone, finding him was more important than feeding the fire.

“AKIA!” i yelled and yelled to my hearts content to find him. “Where are you” i said in a worried voice. i was now in the middle of nowhere, i fell to my knees and laid on my back. Thought to my self “ I must find you, if it takes me to the end of time” . Then i saw a flash of light from the sky i never saw something so bright, then it hit. The cloud of dust came like no other, the ground shook like an earthquake, and a fire sounded the big rock from what i last saw of what to be my long lost brother but it was figure of imagination. I fell to the ground from the shaking of the earth, the cloud of dust made me cough from the taste in my mouth, and tears formed from the pain the dust caused in to my eyes. The dust was gone and the ground stoped shaking, i stood up and walked over to the the huge rock cautiously, the gas of the fire was to strong and pungent that i could not with stand the smell of muck and disgust. I fainted, for what it seemed to be
a dream i awoke with the sound of someone yelling my name “Moon...Moon” i couldn’t recall what it was but it still called my name.

I knew there something close, but not to close i could hear the sliding in the sand for what it is a snake, my body was frozen with fear. I thought to myself “ Stay calm, and it will not bite, no biting, no death” . I stayed calm till it passed around my body i could feel its cold scaly skin go over my feet. It finally moved away to where i could get up i looked at the snake for it was curled up next to the rock that still smelt horrible. So i walked over to the disgusting thing so see what it was, i never saw how a beautiful rock could smell to horrible. So i went over to touch it burnt my hand for it was only two feet away i could feel the heat as i pulled my hand away. Then i heard it a crack, i looked at the rock from the sky it was coming apart in two. I backed away from the rock fast.

I was still to close so i turned around and ran. I stoped and looked back at the rock i could hear another crack with the two last cracks “CRACK ,CRACK” the cracks were so loud they startled me, the rock was in three from the heat of the fire that came with the rock from the sky, the cold of the night, and the heat of the burning sun in the middle of the day. The burning sun made the heat worse for my burnt hand, i did not care. I walked back over to the rock to see what was in the rock or for my thoughts there was something special about the rock i could not understand, i walked and looked over at the rock to see there were blood diamonds. Blood diamonds i never thought i would see these diamonds again. I looked more and more closely to get a better look than the voice came again, but it sounded like a little girl it would keep saying “Moon...Moon come and help us moon”. I thought to myself “ Who is us , us who could us be ?” .

I followed the voice away from the rock, i walked for hours and hours following the voice and every step it became louder and louder. For what i saw in the distance was a cave. The voice was becoming more louder. the voice keeped saying “Moon your almost here, come and help us moon”. It seemed to really like me so i walked faster to were it felt like it was pulling in. The pulling me in turned in to running, i ran to the cave i slowed down at the beginning of the cave the voice spoke again “ Moon you here come in and help us moon please.” i walked in to the cave with one step “CRACK” i looked down to where there was a bone i looked around to find more bones.

I looked back up there was a figure it looked like Akia “Akia is that you?” it stood there and walked forward to me and with a hug it said “ yes its me moon...it’s me” i hugged back to find my long lost brother alive than the voice came again but it was different for it sound like a demonic creature was above my brother and i. I looked up there was nothing then it came and grabbed me by my neck the voice was louder and terrifying it said “ YOUR TURN!”. Its took me away from my brother as he ran and tryed to catch me he yelled “ Moon don’t leave!”. The thing pulled me up in to the sky, it put its hand on my heart and pulled away slowly for it was taking my soul the pain was horrible and unbearable to be taken a away, to be soulless and dead. I fell to the ground as akia was running after me. I hit the ground with a thud the ground was hot and hard as akia screamed in pain to see like this he held me in his arms and took me back to our village to find out that there was no more village it was done all to dust and for that we were too dead alone.

Akia looked around to find no one was there they were alone. Very thing was still akia looked at at me with worried eyes i could feel his pain.” AHHHHH” i screamed awake and looked around every thing was normal i looked at Akia he was sound asleep with no worry he was at peace. I layed back down and hoped that my dream wouldn’t come true. I looked back at akia than looked at the sky to see stars, but one was moving fast to the ground.
