Kai's POV

I was finishing up my morning chores. My blonde hair was lighter then usual from the hot sun. I was about to go home when I saw a figure in the distance. I shielded my eyes from the sun to get a better look at whatever the figure was. It was a person. "Mom! Dad!" I yelled.

Soon enough my parents were at my side. "Aria, get the whole tribe into the dining hall." my dad said.

My mom ran back to the village. My dad grabbed my shoulders. "Kai, I'm going to help your mom. I need you to make sure that person is okay. She's from Reverie." he said.

He ran to where my mom was and left me there. I started walking toward the girl. Since I was an Aud, I could hear everything; her unstable breathing, her racing heart, and her footsteps. I knew that she wasn't okay. I ran to her. "Help me." I heard her say.

Then she collapsed. I knelt beside her. She was beautiful. She looked almost the same age as me. Her hair was dark brown. Her skin was pale. I almost didn't want to touch her because I thought that I would mess up her beauty. Then I came to my senses and picked her up bridal style and ran back to the dining hall.

"Mom!" I said running up to her. "Mom, I don't know what happened. She said 'Help me' then collapsed." I said.

My mom examined the girl. "Bring her." She said.

We went into a small room and my mom shut the door. "Lay her there." my mom said pointing to a raised cot in the corner of the room.

I layed the girl where my mom told me. I stayed there for a while just looking at her. "Kai," my mom said inturupting my thoughts, "you can wait outside." I nodded.

I walked into the now empty dining hall. I pulled out a chair and decided that I would wait there till I knew she was okay.

My mom came out about 2 hours later. "She fainted from dehydration and heat exaustion. She'll be okay." she said.

"Can I see her?" I asked.

My mom smiled and nodded. She patted my shoulder and walked out of the dining hall. After I was sure she was gone I went in and closed the door. He grabbed a stool and sat beside the cot where this strange and beautiful girl was sound asleep. He didn't know what to do, so he talked to her. "So, I know you probably can't hear me but I've wanted to talk to you for a while so here goes. I don't know your name but, mine's Kai. I always thought of dwellers like weird ugly aliens, but, then I saw you." I said.

She stirred then opened her eyes. They were chocolate brown. She sat up quickly and looked around. "Where am I?" She said.

Then her eyes rested on me. "Who are you?" She said scooting away from me.

I tried to reach for her to let her know that everything was okay, but, she scooted away more, so I put my hands up. "It's okay. You're safe. My name's Kai. Your in a village in The Still Blue." I said softly.

She seemed to relax a little. "What's 'The Still Blue'?" She asked.

"Paradise." I answered.

"Oh." She said her voice small.

I offered her my hand and she took it hesitantly. I heard her heart racing. I chuckled. "What?" She asked.

"Nothing." I said.

I didn't want to tell her about Audiles or Seers or Scires just yet. She was still weak so she leaned on me as we walked to meet my parents.
