In the middle of autumn I decided to take a walk in the woods behind my house. I wandered and wandered and, soon enough, I was hopelessly displaced. I saw this huge pond about 70 yards in front of me. I had never seen it before; so I decided to go investigate. When I got up to the pond I realized there was a whole Native American civilization that had once lived here. There were 25 huts, spread out on the banks of the pond, and piles of wood, fire dig outs, broken pottery and arrowheads scattered all over the ground. Besides the broken pottery and arrowheads, which was a shame because they were beautiful, the little village looks like the people had just gotten up and left. One of the hut doors was cracked open so I decided to go in. The hut

On the fourth day, after Maka and I were done with the gathering, she went to bathe in the pond, and I went to explore. I needed to find a way to get back into the chief's hut and get home. By this time my parents and friends were probably worried sick about me and where I had disappeared to. I was walking on the outskirts of the village when I saw the chief and Alawa leave their hut and walk towards the center of the village. I knew this was my time to sneak into their hut and get home. I was almost had gotten to the door of the hut when mother of the tribe called me over to help her with her weaving. I almost cried because I felt like I was never going to get home. Once I was there for a week I gave up on the fact of going home and just integrated myself in their culture.

When I walked out of the hut I was highly disappointed there was no one there. Time here must move faster than I expected, I was hoping it was only a few months had gone by in the time I was home. I walked around trying to find out how long it had been since I left. I walked around and couldn't find anything that told me how long I was gone but just that everyone I had loved was long gone and I was never going to get my old life back. I sat by the pond and cried and cried. After I had gotten that out of my system I gathered up all the pots, arrowheads, and anything else with value and buried them in the special plot where we buried things in time of attack. If I couldn't get my old family back I wasn't going to let anything happen to their things. After I was done I took one last look at the village looking for a sign to my old life. Not finding one I walked back to the chief's hut and went back to
