Dear Ms. Kugler,
Sarah crumpled up the paper and threw it away. Then the Styx walked up behind her. They brought her back to the prison like place. It looked like they knew that she was going to run, because they didn't care.
The Styx are pretty smart to know that Sarah would try to escape. Or maybe they learned from experience.
Atounding- amazing

Dear Ms. Kugler,
Sarah made it out of the Rookeries. She stopped just outside to catch her breath and look at the paper someone gave her. It showed her a few years younger, holding a baby Will. It was just before she ran from the Colony. She wondered who made it.
I have no idea who could've made that drawing. They must've been stalking her or something. I wonder if the Styx are going to catch her outside of her room. If they do, then she's in a lot of trouble.

Dear Ms. Kugler,
Sarah had no idea who the old hag was, but then someone else screamed out her name and everything was quiet. Slowly, people started chanting her name as loud as possible. She didn't know any of them, but somehow they knew of her. She hurried through the crowds that had lined the streets. But then, someone threw a piece of paper at her that had her picture on it!
I wonder how those people knew who she was. Maybe they heard how she escaped from the Colonies and lived up above ground. They think that she's a hero or something. I also wonder how those people recognized her.
Renown- very well known
Scrutinize- examine very intently
Coarse- rough

Dear Ms. Kugler,
The story goes back to Sarah how , one night, she snuck out of the place the Styx were keepng her. She made it outside and to the Rookeries, the slums of the Colonies. She was making her way through, remebering how she and Tam used to run through there as kids. Then a woman called out her name! Sarah turned around and saw an old hag pointing at her.
I thinmk tht the hag must be someone Sarah knows. If not, then that would be very strange. But now everyone will know that she's there pretty soon, considereing howw loud the hag said her nname. Someone would probably recognize her.
Affluent- a person who is well-off financially
Adulation- excessive flattery or admiration

Dear Ms. Kugler,
Will hasn't gone on another patrol with Elliot since that one day when he yelled at her. Instead, she and Chester have been talking together and have become really good friends. Will is getting jealous. When Drake was showing them all how to shoot with little silver pistols, Chester hit the center of the target he was shooting. Elliot was impressed, and Will got even more jealous.
I think that Will doesn't like how his best friend is getting all of the attention from Elliot. He doesn't like how his friend is moving away from him too. I wonder what they have been talking about together. I also wonder if Elliot is going to forgive Will for yelling at her.
Clamor- noise or ruckus
Tumultous- uproarious, riotous, or turbulent
Bestow- to present as a gift or an honor

Dear Ms. Kugler,
Drake thinks that the Limiters are looking for Will. Will doesn't know why, but they must be. Then it comes time to get to a new hideout. Drake and Elliot trap the old one, so that when someone tries to get in to it, it will blow up. They travel many miles down to where the next hideout is, which is in a lava tube. They see someone who Drake knew, but who is evil and disfigured from the radiation that you find in the Deeps sometimes. He works for the Styx, so they stay as far away from him as they can.
I wonder if the evil dude will tell the Styx that he saw them. He probably will to get payed. I don't think that that's cool at all. Let's hope that they won't get caught.
Admiration- a feeling of pleasure, wonder, and approval
Crude- not carefully or skillfully made; rough
Pursue- chase or follow

Dear Ms. Kugler,
Back at the hideout, Will asked Drake why the Limiters were killing off Coprolites. He said that every now and then they had to do some population control. But lately, they have been killing more and more. It looks like they think that the Coprolites are hiding someone. So they are going to keep killing them until they find that someone. Drake asks what Will is doing down in the Deeps, and when he finds out, he thinks he knows why the Limiters are killing all the Coprolites.
I think that the Limiters are looking for Will, Chester, and Cal. They are fugitives from the Colonies, and the Styx want them back. I wonder if they will ever go back. Or be allowed to go back, which doesn't appear likely.
Grotesque- disgusting or revolting
Jubilant- joyful and happy
Affection- love

Dear Ms. Kugler,
Will was able to get his other foot in a good position so he wouldn't slip. Then the Limiters went away and they came out of hiding. One of Will's fingers accidentally pushed through the dead Coprolite's suit to the rotten flesh underneath. Then Elliot started to ell at him and saying that he almost gotten them killed. Then he yelled back and said that it wasn't his fault. Then Elliot said that if he ever spoke to her like that again, then she would leave him. They were quiet the rest of the way.
I think that Elliot really doesn't like Will. It wasn't his fault that the body started to give way. I wonder if they will ever be able to be friends again. I hope so, because Will will need her.

Dear Ms. Kugler,
One day in the Deeps, will went on a patrol with Elliot. They were walking for a bit and then found a bunch of Coprolite bodies. They werte rotting and a few were nailed to stakes. Just then a group of Limiters came with one of their Stalkers, the hunting dogs they use. So Will and Elliot had to get behind the rotting corpses and climb up onto the stakes so they wouldn't get caught. After a few minutes of the Limiters just standind there talking and enjoying their handiwork, Will started to slip!
I think that Will might be seen and then he and Elliot will have to make a run for it. Unless if Elliot betrays him and let's him get killed. She has a rifle too, so if she betrayed him that wouldn't be cool. I wonder when and if Cal's leg will get better.

Dear Ms. Kugler,
Cal started to stop coughing and fall back asleep. So Drake kept slapping him as hard as he could, yelling at him, and dunking his head back under water. Then Cal eventually woke up! They helped him to the hideout since he was still a little weak. One leg was still blue so he had to use a walking stick and exercise it constantly.
I think that Cal's leg will continue to get better. I also wonder where Drake and Elliot came from. They still haven't said. It doesn't appear like they're Colonists, so maybe they are Topsoilers.
Accuse- to charge with a shortcoming or error

Dear Ms. Kugler,
Drake came running out of the cave with Cal. Cal was all blue and still wasn't breathing. Drake ran down to a nearby canal and pushed Cal's head ubderwater. Then he pulled him out and started to slap him as had as he could. He siad that shock was the onl way to save. Then Cal started to cough!
I think that Will is going to trust Drake a lot more now. He has saved his seemingly dead brother. I think that Will will also be happier. His brother is back, but I think that he will be a little week.
