Getting help

Riya was lying in bed watching the stars when an automatic door opened catching her attention. She wasn't worried. She moved over and pulled up the blanket. She saw a little flash of blue peeking over from the edge of the bed. Greion snuggled himself to his big sister. She moved the blanket back to its original position. Her gaze turned back to the stars. A image flashed through her mind. One of her and her best friend, Mart Matton. His brown hair was down to the point of his ears, his brown eyes full of happiness. He always wanted to be a polit and be able to keep his strong relationship with his sister alive. She smiled again at the thought of little Kacie. The next morning they were over mykapo when a familiar Y-T 2400 freighter flew by. They tried to attach themselves to the ship. A few minutes later a familiar face appeared. The girl ran to her friend and pulled him in to a hug. He returned the hug. The two pulled away and the girl waved at the rest also giving them hugs. She scanned the group for a moment before turning to mart and asking "Is Kacie here?" The boy took her hand and led her to a door. She knocked gently. "Kacie, it's Riya am I alright to come in?" The door was opened to reveal a small girl about nine, with a shaky breathing pattern. She pulled her to a hug and picked her up the ground. When the boy came to get Riya she handed the kid to Mart. She knew that Mart would be able to calm her down. Kacie kept a tight grip on her brother. It was then that Riya noticed how pale and thin the little one was. She asked mart about it later on. He sighed running a hand through his hair. "I know. She's lost way too much weight and she barely sleeps. I don't know how to help her. She's scaring us. What do I do?" Riya put a hand on his shoulder squeezing it gently in a manner of comfort. "I'll talk to my folks maybe they'll be able to help." The boy just nodded. True to her word she soon leaned against her parents door frame waiting to talk with them. Emmie was the first to notice her. "Hey Ri what's up?" "Mart and I are worried about Kacie. She's really pale and thin. Mart said she's not eating much or sleeping. He let his uncle know but she's been getting worse. We don't know what to do." Her mom came over and knelt to Riya's hight. Putting a hand on her shoulder she said "Show me." She brought her out to her friends. Mart was reading something. He spotted them and made a shushing motion. He looked at the sleeping nine-year old girl by his side. He gently lifted her and set her down. He walked over to Riya. Emmie was looking over the young girl. Mart watched anxiously. When her mother was finished. She said that Kacie had to be brought to medical bay. Later she and the iron squadron were sitting in the waiting room. Mart was restless, kept pacing and when he sat down his leg bounced. Riya had enough of that. "Mart will you calm down? She'll be fine. Kacie is in good hands." A med-droid came to get them. Mart lept to his feet. "How is she." "Malnourished and exhausted. Resting now." Riya wanted to know how long this had been going on. "How long was this happening?" The droid turned to her and held out a chart. "Mart this was going on for a month." She looked up to see her best friend beating himself up. She caught his hand before he could hit himself again. "Hey, hey, hey, don't beat yourself up over it." She reassured. He made a beeline for the girl. His breath was caught when he looked at her. Riya followed in suit. "Kacie" she mumbled. Later that day Kacie woke up and immediately started looking for her brother and sister. The droid was trying to calm her down. "I want Mart and Riya. Please I want my siblings." As if they read her mind, the two of them were by her side. "Kacie it's alright we're right here." She calmed down. "Kacie why didn't you eat or sleep much? You nearly gave your brother a heart attack." She looked guilty to the floor. "You really want to know?" The two nodded. "Flashbacks, and nightmares." Mart knew what the young girl meant. "Why didn't you tell me, Kacie? I would've helped." "Kacie." Someone said behind them. The three turned to see Comander Sato standing in the door. Riya nodded in greeting and then stood up to leave. She felt someone grab her wrist. Looking down she saw Kacie looking at her with a 'please don't leave' face. Riya smiled at her and nodded. Standing by her side.
