Adam's POV:
I was busy in fixing the threshold problem ,when I felt someone looking at me.I tightened the hold on my pocket knife .
Suddenly I felt someone walking.
I tiptoed to the window and looked through it .A kid of may be 10 years old ,was looking into the attic ,how he got into the house ?Oh I have forgot to lock the door.
"You can come in."I placed the knife back into my pocket.
He shuffled and started to back off.I opened the door to see him.He was so fair ,I have never seen any kid that much fair.
"Kid you can come in and where is your oxygen mask?"I asked .
He didn't reply ,is he mute?
"I grabbed his wrist and pulled him in the attic ,he sniffled and I could see the fear in his eyes.
I softened my hold on his hand.
"Do you speak?" I asked.He stayed quiet and kept on looking at me without blinking.
"Hello? kiddo I'm talking to you."I waved in front of his face ,he grabbed my wrist with so much force that I feared of him breaking my wrist.
"Okay relax ,no fight,haven't your parents taught you manners?"I released my hand from his grip,it was all reddened with his finger marks.
"Okay you don't want to speak,fine.I have to work ,you can stay untill your parents come to find you."I smiled and got busy with the machine.
After an hour I looked towards him ,he was looking towards me without blinking ,the way I left him looking an hour ago.
I sighed and went down to the kitchen to grab something to eat.I grabbed an apple , couple slices of bread and water and got back to attic.
"Oh wait ,what are you doing!?"I run towards him ,he was using my screwdriver and was about to ruin my hard work and efforts of months.
I stopped him and grabbed my screwdriver.He stood silently.
I looked back to my machine .I was trying to make a flying drone for months ,but couldn't make one due to lack of equipments and assembling tactics .
"Never ever touch my things "I glared him who was still looking at me silently.
I saw my machine ,he fixed the nuts on the right place and connected the wires with such accuracy that the threshold problem got solved.The problem that I can't solve for weeks ! I looked towards him with disbelief.
"Who are you?" I looked towards him.
"Neon350." He spoke for the first time.
"What?"I couldn't understand what he said.
"I'm asking your name kid."I again asked.
He stayed quiet and grabbed the apple that I left on the table .In the next few minutes ,he finished off that apple along with the bread slices and water.
My mouth fell open.He isn't an ordinary kid for sure.
"Are you hungry ?"I asked.
"Yes."he nodded.I fetched him some more food to eat.After eating upto his fill ,he smiled.
"So now can you tell me about yourself."I asked.
"Neon350."he said.
"What?"I stated in confusion.
