I hope you enjoyed chapter one! I really enjoyed writing this, so I hope you like it!

All I heard was a scream. I ran towards the waterfall, and saw nothing. It was pitch dark, the moon had vanished. I was alone in the village, everyone else was sleeping.
Why hadn't they heard the scream? A flash of movement caught my eye. I heard a splash and hid behind some bushes.
Then I heard voices, calling me. "Isa! Isa! Get up!"
I jerked awake. "Wha-?" I started. "Shh..." said Ferdi "You'll wake everyone up!" she whispered.

It was my day to lead all of the children into searching for bugs, mushrooms and shells. I groaned. It was my least favorite task. It had been about a year since We discovered Ferdi and Soku on the beach.

Kaldo had turned fourteen a couple of weeks ago and joined Soku in farming. But, just a few days ago the water started appearing green and slimy, some kind of algae was growing in it, and no matter how hard we tried we could not fish!

So now we were running pretty low on food. Jehdi is now an Adept builder and has tried his hand at researching. He is doing pretty well at it too and is trying to find a solution to this problem.

Meanwhile, Ferdi's child, Keilda is now running around, helping us find collectibles and mushrooms. She is very sweet, and has short cut, brown hair. She is usually very quiet and energetic. Her mother is very happy and adores her. My sister Jadi follows Keilda around everywhere. She is becoming fast friends with her.

Soon I'll turn nine, and I hope maybe I'll be able to learn a bit about healing, because the herbs look very pretty.

--Later--

Ferdi finished the second hut after lunch and we all celebrated around the fire tonight. Soku and Ferdi told everyone stories about the Golden Child, and all of the mysteries of the island where their ancestors lived before they lived on the Northern side of the island. My favorite story was when they carved the huge sparkly stone. They said it looked like a man, carrying, something, though they're not sure what exactly.

Now, its almost dusk, and we are all heading towards bed. Before I go to bed I run over to the lagoon to look into the water. Kaldo joins me. We are silent for a moment. "I had a bad dream last night," I told him. "What happened?" he asked. I told him about hearing a splash in the lagoon, and someone calling my name.

"It's just a dream though... right?" he said. "Maybe...." I said. He acted like he was going to say something more, but at that moment I hear a scream, and then I saw something fall into the lagoon. Two shapes emerged and, I couldn't help thinking about my dream. Then, darkness.
