(Rio's P.O.V.)

I sat in the over crowded bus, waiting for my stop. All I did was sit there and look out the window, which was covered in dust and dirt. I sighed, I hope life on the farm will be nice. What was the place called? Echo Town? Sounds nice, but it better be nice, I thought.

My name is Rachel, or Rio, as I liked to be called, and I am 22 years old. I had lived I entire life in the city. My father is a manager in a company. He told me about this farm which he owned but was now abandoned. My father said it was his dream to go back and rebuild everything and make it what it used to be, but didn't have any time because of the company he ran. I had brung up the idea of me doing it, and he agreed.

And now here I was, waiting to get there and look at the place. Finally, I have escaped that horrid city! Haven't had fresh air in a long time! Dad told me to find someone named Dunhill…

"We have arrived at Echo Town! All passengers for Echo Town may leave the bus!"

The bus driver shouted in the bus. I got up and noticed that I was the only one leaving. I picked up my suitcase filled with only my clothes and my rug sack, caring my 500 gold I got from mom and a water bottle from dad. I got off the bus and followed a path to an area dotted with flowers and a small stream filled with water. It was beautiful, I raced around, admiring everything. I inhaled as much air as I could. Everything was perfect, until a man came into view and fainted right in front of me.

(3rd person P.O.V.)

Rio started panicking. She didn't know what to do. Then a voice spoke, "Rio! That man needs help, quick!" Rio was surprised and whipped around, trying to find the source of that voice. "Rio! Think about me later! Help the man!" Following the voice's orders, Rio nodded. She ran over to the man and looked at him, then knew exactly what he needed.

(Rio's P.O.V.)

I fished out my water bottle out of my rug sack. I gave some of my water to the man. The man coughed, then slowly opened his eyes, "W-Where am I?" he asked. The man got up with me still on my knees. I sigh a sigh of relief, the man's okay, but now the question is does the man remember? I look up hopefully at the man as he looks around. He then smiles, "Oh! I remember now!" he looks down at me, still smiling, and I smile back, I mean, to smile back is the correct thing, right? "Hello! You're the one who helped right? My name's Dunhill, Echo Town's mayor, I suppose you're Rachel? Mark's daughter?" I got up, "Oh, so you're Dunhill, nice to meet you! Yes, I am Rachel, Mark Gionan's daughter, but I rather you called me Rio," I smile.

Dunhill chuckles, "Okay then, welcome to Echo Town, Rio! I guess that wasn't the best way to meet me. You know, I don't have as much energy as I used to before, so I just collapsed when I was coming to escort you to town, this way," he gestures me to follow, so I do. But then I remember the voice. I look back at the hollowed out stump as tall as me near the fishing dock. I am filled with curiosity but I just brush it off and ignore it.

Dunhill and I walk over a bridge and into town. It was so quiet, not like the city. I didn't notice Dunhill looking at me and chuckling while I was awed by how quiet and pretty the town was. "You look tired, Rio, let's go to my place to have lunch," I snap back to my senses when he said the word lunch, "Yes please! That bus ride was 5 hours long!"

We walk up the path to Dunhill's house. It was a small cabin, fit for one person to live in. Dunhill opens the door for me and gestures for me to go in first. "Thank you," I say, smiling. He is so kind. And then I step into his welcoming house.
