Kim's Pov
I wake up and check the alarm beside me, 6am perfect. I tiptoe to the kitchen area or at least try to navigate through all the corridors. When I finally find it though I begin to rack through the cupboards for food.I take all that seems to be there and begin to make a Malaysian themed breakfast. I leave the food on the table and write a short note saying: This is a little Thank You for letting me stay with you - Kim x enjoy.
I leave the note beside the food and put on my own clothes leaving the stuff he lent me. I check the time one more time as I leave the castle to see that it is 6:30am. This gives me plenty of time to find somewhere to spend tonight. I don't know where I'm going overall, I guess I just need an adventure. But I am starting to think that maybe I should work on building my own place or something like that.

I wake up at 6:24am, unusually early, with my faced pressed against a cold, metal bench in my lab. I take a minute before I realize that I took that girl in last night and that I should probably go and wake her up.
When I reach her room though, she is no where to be found...The only other place I can think that I took her to was the Kitchen. I begin to run there.
When I get there I see a beautiful breakfast and a...note?
I read the note and begin to panic, she was my only chance at getting a friend.
'I have to get her' is all I can think as I run towards the castle entrance. When I reach it I swing open the gates and run into the wilderness after her.

I've only just left but I can't stop thinking of his golden hair...he's good looking, there's no denying it, but I don't know him, he could be a total creep for all I know.
But I still want to see him again and thank him in person.
I turn around and at the gates of the castle I see the golden-haired boy run out and scream "KIM!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!?". My heart sinks.
What am I thinking?!? I don't know this man and he doesn't know me.

After shouting and seeing no signs of her I begin to give up, just as I spot her big, brown eyes in the distance. I don't even think, I just run, faster than ever before.
I catch up to her and she stares up at me looking worried, but I see a hint of something else in her eyes too, relief, maybe?

He came after me. Why?Is he that desperate for a girl? I calmly say to him "I'm sorry, but I have to go, Thank you for letting me stay with you last night though." I want to stay but at the same time I know I shouldn't, so I stay strong.
He pauses for a moment before saying "Please, stay a little longer. I know you're struggling out there, I can help you train and get prepared before someone or something evil finds you.Would you stay for me Kim?"
I think about it again.I have to be strong and say no. But instead I bring up the fact I don't know his name which he replies to by saying "Duncan, Duncan Jones at your service ma'am" while nodding and laughing.
I begin to laugh with him and through the power of laughter he manages to change my mind and makes me want to stay with him. But I warn him before hand "I am not looking for a boyfriend by the way so don't do anything funny" He looks at me like I'm insane for a moment before I realise he doesn't care about me in that sense...

We stroll back up to my castle slaying chickens as we walk since Kim decided that on behalf of her staying I would have to start collecting more food for her so that she could cook for us.
I'm not actually too sure why I am so eager to have her stay with me...I guess that's just what happens when you lose so many friends.
I decide to spend the rest of the day giving her a tour of the castle. When we reached the main lab though she freaked out and kept calling me a mad scientist and made sure she was always at least four blocks away from any equipment or machinery. It was kind of cute to watch though, I mean cute on my part that..That I was being so protective of her...yeah...that's what I meant, obviously.
