After that everybody whispered. No one talked about it to anyone else. People thought about moving away but never said it. More and more people were leaving  Lumarnus. Soon Lumarnus was very vacant. Me and my family were one of those thinkers, those whisperers, But we never wanted to admit it. My mom tried and tried to convince my dad to move but he didn't want to. I wouldn't want to if I was him either.  After all, he grew up here. His dad died here. His mom fought for her life here. His brother and sisters are here. And I kept my opinions to myself. Most of my family just thought of me as a child. But my innocence of a child had been ruined since that shock. People knew that they were talking about me but my family tried to shelter me from it. I had been homeschooled so kids wouldn't talk about me. My older brother Sage, and my younger sister, Raven had pretended not to know anything either. Though occasionally Sage would have conversations with Mom and dad about what people were now calling,"The Vacancy '' I overheard my parents discussing whether I should dye my hair. I wasn't worried, I was never going to dye my hair. Most people had moved to Kialna, A Planet just beside Lumarnus. The government of Lumarnus was getting very worried. They were making signs, and swearing that the people from Earth wouldn't come back and harm us. And eventually my 14th birthday came around, We stopped talking. But just in the nick of time the people came back. I didn't like it one bit.
