Girl in the Glade - Kai

Chapter 3 - A name

THIRD PERSON POV

As the sun began to set, Alby called for everyone to gather at the bonfire for dinner. The greenie, still without a name, sat next to Chuck and the two shared a plate of food.

"So, do you remember your name yet?" Chuck asked, breaking the silence.

The greenie shook her head. "No.. But I'm starting to think it starts with a 'K'"

"Well, maybe we can work from there!"

The greenie thought for a moment before answering "Kai.. My- my name! I REMEMBER MY NAME!!" she cheerfully screamrd

Chuck smiled, and they celebrated!

"Kai?" Alby repeated, trying out the name "Congratulations kai!"

And just like that, Kai had a name. The rest of the Gladers welcomed her with open arms, happy to have another member in their community.

Over the next few weeks, Kai learned more about the Glade and its inhabitants. She even started helping out with the gardening, tending to the flowers that she loved so much.

As the night went on, Kai couldn't help but feel grateful for the kindness of the Gladers. She had only been in the Glade for a few days, but already it felt like home.

As the bonfire died down, Thomas approached Kai with a smile. "Hey, Kai. I heard you like exploring. Want to come with me tomorrow and check out the gardens?"

Kai's eyes lit up. "Yes, please! That sounds amazing."

The two made plans to meet up early the next morning and explore the lush gardens that surrounded the Glade. Kai couldn't wait to see what other wonders the Glade had in store for her.

The next morning, Kai woke up early and got ready for her adventure with Thomas. She put on her sturdy boots and tied her hair back in a ponytail. When she reached the gardens, Thomas was already waiting for her.

"Ready to see some amazing plants?" Thomas asked, grinning.

Kai nodded excitedly, and the two set off on their exploration. They walked along a winding path, surrounded by colorful flowers and towering trees. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the sound of chirping birds surrounded them.

As they walked, Thomas pointed out different plants and explained their uses. Some were used for medicine, while others were used for cooking. Kai found it all fascinating and listened intently.

Suddenly, Thomas stopped in front of a tall tree with large, shiny leaves. "This is the fruit tree," he said. "The fruit is ripe and ready to be picked."

Kai looked up and saw clusters of round, red fruits hanging from the branches. She reached up and plucked one, taking a bite. The fruit was juicy and sweet, and Kai couldn't help but smile.

"This is amazing," she said, taking another bite. "I've never tasted anything like this before."

Thomas grinned. "That's the beauty of the Glade. You never know what wonders you might discover."

Kai knew he was right. She felt lucky to be part of such a special place and couldn't wait to see what other secrets the Glade held.
