(This whole story will be in Jerome's POV)

It has been two years since I brought my friends to the Bacca Village and I take this day to reflect. About how Mitch, Jessica, Husky, and Ian are the only humans to stay here, the others leaving under a vow of secrecy. I think back on the day Mitch proposed to Jessica, and the day of their miscarriage. I think of the six young Baccas born here, and how I am supposed to be their teacher. I remember my mother and her final words, "I can see the stars." As she lay in my arms.

"Hey buddy!" Mitch says, talking in Bacca and pulling me out of my thoughts. All of my friends mastered the language, including Husky. "Want to go hunt?" He asks. I stand and follow him out of my hut. Last year Mitch and Jessica moved into their own hut, and Ian lives with Husky in a hut by the pond. We go to a clearing about two hundred yards from the village and wait. "Jerome? This is the one year anniversary of my marrying Jessica and the two year anniversary of us coming here. Would you care to join us for dinner?" Mitch breaks the silence. I am about to answer when an arrow pierces my shoulder.
