Chapter 18

*Nichole*

I'm finally home. that's the only thing that went through my head. That and Oneye. The only other thing I could think of. 

It's been a week since I've seen him. I started to forget, but it was really hard.

Kara started to teach me some things. Back in the town, I never went to school, well not often anyway. It was really hard for me to learn there too.

Here I was learning to read and write again. It was hard to do, but I managed. I only had one distraction. Oneye.

I was just finished reading when I heard a knock on the door.

"I'll get it," Kara said. She walked towards the door and opened it.

There was a man, an Aboriginal. It wasn't Oneye, this man was older and stronger. I didn't know what was going on. I looked at the man and he looked at me. 

"Adoni?" Kara asked with wonder. "Sunset boy?"

"Yes." he replied.

Kara opened the door wider for him and he stepped inside. "Is this the famous Nichole I've been told all about?"

"Ye- yes sir, this is Nichole," I said as I stared at his muscular body.

"Well, Nichole." He said calmly, ignoring the fact that I was in wonder. "My son, he hasn't been able to concentrate, and he has been talking all about you."

"Oh?" I asked suspiciously

"He will be here shortly." He said as he gestured to the door.

Oneye? Was it him? I didn't know, I was just so excited. Kara smiled, but weakly. I didn't know why, but I didn't really care.

We sat down and started to chat. Kara had gone to the pantry and gotten us some cookies and tea. We all drank happily but there was something about Kara that told me not to be too excited.

"So, you traveled all this way for Nichole?" Kara asked.

"Actually for her and my son."

I still had the feather from Oneye in my hair, Adoni glanced at it. "I see you have one of our tribe's feathers.

"Yes, I do."

"From... Oneye I presume?"

I nodded. I took another small cookie, slowly I started to eat it. I couldn't wait for the door, I didn't know what was taking Oneye so long. Maybe he'd gone to the chamber again. Had he gotten stuck?

"So what's taking your son so long?" I asked.

"Oh, he made a few stops and left later than I." He answered.

I was surprised that he had perfect English and Grammar. Maybe I should get him to teach me.

"So..." I said quietly.

"I wonder what's taking so long," Kara said, she stood and walked to the window. "Oh, there, he's coming."

I stood at the window and watched. Sure enough, someone was heading towards us.

I sat back down and then Adoni told me something, something I should've known.

"That," he paused." "is Akama."

"Wait, what?" I said confused.

But right then, there was a knock on the door. We opened the door. There was a different boy at the door, it wasn't Oneye.
