hoping that he might give her something to wear. Rokai jumped into action. “I'll just find the room computer.” “ Room computer?” There was no way that there was a room computer in here. It wouldn't make sense to have modern technology in the rooms and then cook your food over the fireplace. Those were just two contrasts that didn't pair up, at least not in her mind. Rokai looked around and couldn't find one. “This house appears to be a bit old fashioned.” He wasn't sure how to warm her up. “ Where are you going to sleep?” Amber asked. “ In here, with you. You won't be cold. I'll hurry back to the ship and bring things over here. I'll get one of the beds out of there and into here. You will be warm tonight, I promise. Wait for me here.” He left her standing there all alone. Amber darted to the window and watched him pass by. He jumped over the brook and ran off. “How dumb was that? That wasn't smart.” She turned around and headed out of the house. She didn't go the same way as he did; instead, she went in the other direction. Amber hated that she was running outside without any clothes on, and she had such a cute Nike outfit at home with matching jogging shoes. She tried to stay by the things that she considered to be trees. They were gray with gray leaves. Amber was getting a depressing feeling. They had said that the planet was small. Would she end up running in circles? Was she already doing laps? Amber heard something behind her. She turned and saw several light purple people coming her way. They were short and chubby in a sturdy way. They had no hair on their heads and their ears were large circle that got smaller as they got closer to their heads, like fat ice cream cones. The purple people weren't trying to catch her, but they did seem to be very interested in her. They pointed her way with their fat hands. Amber took off running again. She figured that she would be faster than they were because of her long legs but the seemed to taken pursuit of her. She darted in zigzag patterns, hoping to get rid of them. Every time she looked back she saw their smiling faces staring at her. “ Go away,” she called out. She wasn't sure if their smiles meant that they were nice, or if it meant that they were really excited to cook her over their campfire this evening. Amber wasn't watching where she was going. “ Ouch!” she screamed out. First, when she noticed the pain and look down at her foot did she see that she had stepped on something, something with a mouth that was wrapped around her foot. The purple people were on her in a second. Amber watched them kill a furry snake whose bite didn't relax just because it was dead. The purple people were helping her to walk somewhere. Amber was starting to see everything double. “ Rokai,” she called out in a whisper. “Something bit me and it won't let go.”
Chapter 6 Healing You
“ Thank you so much for helping. I am really glad that we met up at the ship. I was worried how I was going to achieve all of this on my own. Just put the bed in the pink room.” Rokai instructed the Emko where he would like the things placed that they had brought back from the ship. “ Master Rokai, your slave is out playing in the tall grass. Several of my people have spotted her. She seems to have gotten scared and she is running away from them.” The head Emko, Emil, was addressing him. He was the one that told the others what they needed to do. Rokai was thrilled that he was working on his half of the planet. While Amber had slept in his arms aboard the spacecraft, he and Jamko had decided that he and Amber would make Milk chocolate and Jamko would make dark chocolate. That way they wouldn't end up stepping on each other's toes. Rokai had noticed her absence the second he walked into their home. Better said, he noticed her lack of presence. His heart ached for hers. He figured that she was trying to run away, but because there was nowhere for her
