Extra Terrestrial Visitor (Interactive Story)

[26]

*Iofi Pov*

"Iofi, where did you go?" Moona asked for a second time, waiting for a response. Her tone was deeper and more demanding this time.

I weighted my options and decided I should lie about where I went, or at least skew the truth a little bit.

"Moona, I thought you were going back to sleep," I told her.

"I was, but I wanted to wait for you since I thought you'd just grab Risu and come back." She claimed, "Besides, that doesn't answer my question." Moona pointed out

"Risu felt lightheaded, so I took her for a short walk. Is there anything wrong with that?" I asked Moona.

Moona glared daggers at Risu before sighing, "That's fine." She mumbled

Moona went into her room and slammed the door behind her. I can't tell if she had bought my story or not, but I didn't have much time to think. Risu began to limp towards her room.

"Risu, let me help!" I offered, but she pushed me away.

"Iofi, remember what I told you? It'll be better if you stop talking to me when you don't have to. I feel like I'm going to restrict you. Moona is right about one thing: Maybe you should learn about the rules of the planet before you have fun," Risu told me.

I was silent while listening to the blood coming from her head hit the floor. I don't know what to say to her. I didn't know that Moona said anything like that, so maybe those two argued in private.

"Risu I have to help you get to your room!" I told her loudly.

Risu shook her head only to clutch it in agony. "No, you don't need to help me." Her statement was choppy and shakey, and as I could tell, Risu began to cry once again. "Everything hurts." She cried as she began to drag herself forward.

"Risu, whether you like it or not, I'm helping you. I can tell you are in pain and are in need of help, so please don't reject my help!" I yelled at her.

I stepped over, helped her up, and began to bring her towards her room. "Ayunda-I really miss her," Risu suddenly said.

"You got to see her; that must be nice," I whispered into her ear.

"That was nice, but at the same time, my emotions are being thrown out of proportion recently. I really don't know how I feel in any particular moment anymore," Risu said.

"Why is that?" I asked.

"I met you, and I know it's only been a few days, but we have become good friends," she told me.

"Good friends..." I mumbled, not knowing why that sounded odd to me at the moment.

I put her in bed, then I began to change her bandages. "Do you need water?" I asked

"That would be nice," she told me.

I got up and got her water and put it on her nightstand. "Okay, then get comfortable," I told her.

"Uhhh-Okay" She said She got comfy, and I tucked her in. I smiled at her. "Thank you," she told me.

"You're welcome!" I told her.

I was going to get up, but I looked down at her and gave it some thought. Risu may be lonely by herself; she is hurt and sad; she misses Ayunda, but is that enough of a reason to want to be by her, or is there another reason?

"Iofi, are you going to go?" Risu asked

That was a genuine question, but to me, it sounded as if she didn't want me to go, and now all of a sudden, I'm torn. I don't know what I want to do.

Should I leave the room or stay by her side? I looked back at Risu, who seemingly had passed out, probably from lightheadedness. I feel awful. I reached down and grabbed her hand, squeezing it a little bit.

She is really hurt. Maybe I should watch her just in case, but again, is that really my job?

Should I do what she says and try to stay away from her unless I really need to talk to her?

I really want to figure out what I want to do. I also need to find out why I feel so dissatisfied.
