My name is Vlad, Vladimir Berry to be exact and this is my story. I have two firends one is named Ludolf the other Viveka. I've known them as long as I can remeber and the same for them. We are the only ones of our kind that we know of, I beleive that there has to be more some where but, my friends think its a whole lot of rubbish so we don't talk about that subject if we can avoid it. Which I don't mind, being I'm the one who gets ruled over. Anyways I'm thirteen, Ludolf is sixteen, and Viveka will soon be fourteen. So I am the youngest but I'm proud.
I don't know were my parents are, I supose their dead by now. Luckly for Ludolf and Viveka they actually got to meet their parents. They are brother and sister and lived with their parents until one day when I was already two years old, Ludolf was five, and Viveka was three. By they way I was raised in their family as another siblling thankfully for their parents generosity untill then. Unfortunatly I never got to here what happened to my parents. But anyways I don't actualy remeber this but I've heard Ludolf and Viveka talk about it often. What jappened was first their dad was out doing what ever it was he did and he never sowed up for dinner. So Mrs. Hartmann went out to look for him around twilight, and she also never returned. It is still a mystery what happened to the two. After that we were left to fend for our selves and being Ludolf is the oldest he plays more of the fatherly role, Viveka being a lady plays a careing motherly role, and I being the youngest is the one often either left alone to defend our belongings against whatever forces and challenges may come our way or I am often found out running around looking for things we need in the forest around alone. Its ok though we've all gotten used to being alone and defending ourselves at young ages.
A lot of strange stuff has been happening lately to leave me to beleive their is other people around us and I think they know were here and have known it for a long time. I wish to meet them someday and I wish Ludolf and Vibeka felt the same way. Every time i menchine the others they turn very red and in a funny voice so that its either just my imagination, which acording to them is a little to over active and out there in another world. Another answer would be ''O, no we better hide they may be the ones who took are parents, maybe there here to take us next.''
Thats what I would call rubbish. If they were going to take us they would have done it long ago. Also, they wouldn't leave me to beleive they were here if they are here and do know everything about us. Just lately they've left seeds laying around in the path I walk almost every day not like I wantr to walk that path its just more out of habbit. They've even left fresh fires burning that I suspect were made just before like within minutes before I found them, on the cold morrings when I would be waking alone. It has crossed my mind that maybe it is a trape and their just trying to lurrer me in and take me, but I don't beleive its true whrn i really think about it.
You might also want to know that acroding to Ludolf we are the people who are called ''Christians'' we are supposed to beleive in a man named God who made the earth and everything on its surface. I don't beleive its entirely true although I could never tell that to Ludolf but I have told Viveka this thought and she says I should beleive whatever I wish to beleive if I only knew Ludolf's answer would be that generous I would tell him. Maybe thats why I am closer to Viveka than Ludolf because she is more understanding and willing to give anything a chance to show itself. I've been especialy thankful to have her around lately with my ideas about the others because even if she don't agree with me she will still talk about it with me and share her ideas in kindly way unlike Ludolf, thats also why we talk whiel hes out gathering wood or something of that sort.
Something else about me is I'm around five feet and four inches I would call myself an average size person but I'm really not sure. Ludolf is so much taller than both me and Viveka he is around six feet tall, and Viveka is the shortest. She is around five feet and two inches. My clothes are usually Ludolfs old ones because we don't have that much material to make clothes, what we do have we try to save for when we really grow out of our clothes , and also Viveka is not much of a fan of sewing. So the only way I get knew clothes is on my birthday and when I make my own clothes. I do most of my own cleaning I clean my own clothes and room and dishes unlike Ludolf who usually says ''In the book of God it says women should be the ones to take care of the house.'' So he usually has Viveka do all their cleanong. Sometimes I help her because I will fell bad and guilty if I don't but, sometimes I must live with that guillt because I'm to busy or to tired to help.
Somedays I wish I could meet someone who knew my parents and could tell me all about them, who they were, were they came from, and what happened to them. It would be nice if I could meet them someday and reunite togeather and get to know each other, but I know that will never happen I only beleive that is two percent possible. I often wonder what my life would be like if I was raised by parents. I often question why parents left. Did they get token away or did they just not want me so they left me with someone else. Also I wonder why I was left with the Hartmanns. Were they firends with my parents or were they theonly people my parents knew that could take care of me.

Today is Viveka 14 birthday. I supose we will celebrate as usual by starting with doing what ever she fells such as climbing trees with monkies, swimming in the nerby lake, throwing mud at each other, or teasing the one of the many animals around us. When Ludolf and I asked here what it would be yesterday she said she would enjoy climbing trees with monkies being the lake is vary cold, theres not much mud, and shes an animal lover and isn't and never was a big fan of teasing the animals.
Another part of celebrating a birthday is for dinner we will cook the finest meat we can get are hands on over a nice hot fire as we sit around and talk about are finest memories of are time spent togeather. Also, we will make a desert that is suposed to be a suprize although we already know to expect it and we also expect are face to be smashed into it. Right now me and Ludolf are geting the ingerdiants ready to make the desert.
Today was amazing! When Viveka finaly awoke around 10am, which is late for me I usualy wake up no later than 7am. But anyways we had a blast. First, we had some breakfast which was just some usual bread, soup, and a glass of milk. After we completely stuffed are selves with food and felt ready to pop we went out side and walked to the end of the yard were the forest began. At first we didn't see are firend monkey we call Moe. So we went in and found one of are altime favorite trees to climb, then when we went looking for a new tree we came across Moe sleeping on a gigantic tree branch. It was so funny, because Ludolf spotted him first and right away he scremed ''AHHHH it's Moe the Monkey'' and the funny part is Moe hates being called Moe.
