chapter one, a new beginning

For the longest time I've always lived by myself. When I turned 16, I took my dad's old boat and left, when I was younger my dad has passed, he got killed in a storm outta sea one day. Ever since my mother had drank alcohol and soon started to hit me. I ended up living on a boat but 2-3 times a week I would stop at a near by island, I mostly went to the same island and sometimes would help around for some quick cash. I'm not well known there but some people know me. Like the store clerk and ahit like that.

There was this island no one lived on that I had built this log cabin on, I don't really stay there but once and awhile I'll stay for a day or two, I think I was 17 when I built it, a year after I left. Since I don't stay there often I never really taken the time to enjoy the scenery there, I like to call this island kawai meaning water, I have a huge fascination to the water, so did my dad.

I remember one time, My dad had taken me to the sea for the first time actually. I was so amazed by everything and I decided that day I was gonna e a sailor just like my dad was, later I grow out of it, until my dad died. After he passed I took up my liking to water and now I'm devoted to it, it's all I got.

I went to mehameha a small island I shop on like I told said before. I went to get some groceries because I had decided to stay at kawai, for about a week. There's no food there.

I remember the store clerk, Ms. Jowa to stay careful. "Thers this virus, a new one, says to kill, I think it's bullshit but you be careful now, cuz if you go an die on me, who the hell is gonna fix my lights when they go out." She told me that while laughing. She was the brightest person I knew back then.

I didn't believe this virus bullshit either, I just headed on back to my little island. For the next two days there was peaceful and quiet like my whole life had been. One morning though, I heard some loud crashing sound, something had made that sound but I didn't know what.

I went to investigate that strange sound and there standing in front of me was a plane, someone crashed it. God I prayed they weren't dead, you know I didn't feel like burying someone today. I looked around and realized there was no one, not in the plane or out. I walked around and I couldn't find anyone. Were they hiding?

I decided to head back, because I couldn't fine them. I accidentally stumbled over a tree root, hitting my head hard enough to were I had blacked out. I had woken up later to find myself lying on my couch, I was confused on how I had gotten here but then I realized. Somebody had brought me here, and that exact person was standing in my kitchen. I attempted to stand up and walk over to them but, in doing so I fell again. I was still light-headed from my fall earlier. I managed to get back up and slowly make my way over there.

When I had stepped into the kitchen, there was a man standing there. He looked like a collage student but I wouldn't really know because I've only ever seen them on TV. He had short curly black hair, it looked as if he had a black mop on top of his hair. He was pale skinned, almost like a porcelain doll. His eyes are a this dull blue grey color, kinda like the ocean. He Is wearing a grey sweatshirt with a black shirt under it. He has black jeans and dirty blue grey converse on. The only colors on him are black, grey, blue and white. Looking at him was depressing to be honest.

"Hey, what are you doing in my house?" I shouted. He had slowly looked at me and replied with, "first, you live here? Second I-i kinda saved you, you know!" I'm first instinct waste punch him *** but I didn't. "Yeah kinda, I'm mostly on my boat, and I would have woken up later and walk back inside, you didn't save me from shit." I blurted out. "A boat? So your a pirate!? Don't they usually ay matey?" He had told me this. At first I thought he was being a jackass, then I realized he was generally asking.

"No, we don't that's like 17th century type pirate shit, I just sail, you know there are no more pirates right? There just called sailors now." I yaped back at him. I know I was being a jerk but, to be honest I didnt know the guy, he was in my house asking dumb questions. I got fed up with his stupid question that I went and left to my boat, trying to start it I find him waiting by the boat. "Omg, just leave, leave me alone." I yelled furiously at him.

In a soft subtle voice, almost innocently he had replied. "I do kinda need a ride off the island." Angryly I said, "fine, get in I'll take you to main land, then you can finder your way home from there." He seem weary on that idea. "What?" I said, " get in!" He slowly backed up. "I can't go to the main land, I have police and some government people looking for me, I did nothing terrible though." He quickly replied to me. Now I was concerned, some random dude is not only at my house, he has the police after him, great!

"Fine then, stay here, I have to get some groceries or shit I don't know, just let me process this out." I ended up getting the boat started and sailed down to mehameha, I just was gonna take a walk down the streets of the island. As I walked I hear a voice call out to me, "Mr.àukai, Mr.àukai, hello?" I turn to find ms. Collines, she was this lady who was a local, she has lived here her whole life, 70 full years. "Oh, Ms collines, what is it?" I shouted a bit because shes hard of hearing.

"My roof tiles are falling again, come fix them for me?" She always had her tiles falling down, no matter how much I fix them. I decided to help her, it was a distraction from what was going on at kawai. We walked together over to her house, when we arrived I climbed up her roof and starting pasting new tiles down. After I finished he had made me some soup and bread to eat. This was her way of paying me, since she didn't have much money, I mean she hasn't worked in 20 years.

As I walked back to the dock, and I started to think. What if he was some crazy serial killer? Or a mass murder. He could had escaped prison, or a loony bin. My thoughts started to run wild, I made scenarios in my head about how he murder people or his family. At of all these scenarios, one really caught my attention. What if he was some scientists test subject and he has some crazy disease or virus that kills people. I thought that couldn't be possible.

No, way was a some 19 year old kid can cause a deadly virus, I heard about that colarode virus and I just made some stupid story. I ended up making my way back to kawai where I found him waiting on my porch. As soon as I stepped of the boat he quickly ran towards me. "Your back!" He sounded as if he was happy I was back. Maybe he is just some lonely kid who made up a story on how the police is after him, just so he can stay.

"Oi, yeah" I said "I never caught your name!" A sudden realization hit his face. "It's k-Kai, Kai Thompson, and you? What's your name?" I don't think anyone could sound more innocent then he could, he could honestly say he just murder a family and sound innocent. "Makaio àukai" I been a long time since I said my name to anyone. I headed back inside and Kai had followed me inside.

"Since your staying you need a place to sleep, you can sleep here on the couch." I said that in doing so I walked over to the closet in my room and grabbed a extra blanket, then made my way over to the bed to grab one of the pillows. I set them up on the couch and then he laid down. "Take a shower!" I yaped towards him. He walked down the hall and into the bathroom. it was about 15 or 20 minutes later when I heard the door open, he walks out and into the living room.

He was *****... completely *****.

No clothes on, just a towel that he held in his hand. I quickly turned away at the sight of him. "Omg, I'm so so sorry I'm not used to people around when I take a shower." He had complete sorrow in his voice, he felt bad for walking out. I buried my face into my arms. I could feel my face turning red, it started to feel hot. Was I blushing? No I couldn't have. I can't! Can I? I'm not gay though.!!

Yet again my thoughts went crazy..

I've always had this tendency to over think everything, like my mother hadn't come home one night and my dad had thought she was just busy with work and crashed a friends house. I had always thought that she cheated that night, and still do. I was only 3 but yet I was aware of what was going on. When I turned 13, my dad had passed. My 13 year old self had made up the conclusion that my mother had planned his death.

"No no no, your good!! Just put some clothes on" I said muffled into my arm. I picked my head up and he had already slipped on some boxers. He had started to pull his pants on. I couldn't help but stare, then I realized that's creepy. He stood there shirtless dripping with water. He almost looked like a wet dog. A cut wet dog. Wait, WHAT?? no no no you can't think he's cute, your not gay remember. No way! But at the same time you don't know. You've never had a relationship or even liked anyone before.

He laid down and ended up falling asleep. He looked so pure when he slept. I walked down the hall and into my bedroom where I laid down on my bed. 2 hours pass and I hadn't fallen asleep yet. I was still think about Kai, and where he came from. I knew nothing about him yet I felt like I knew everything. I felt as if I met him before too, I tried to recall if I had but I couldn't remember anything. It felt like deja vu.

I ended up falling asleep like and hour later. I woke up the next morning around five-thirty. I had usually woke up around 3 or 4 but since I fell asleep late I woke up late. I decided to take a boat ride down to mehameha, to take a nice morning walk down the streets. I didn't usually take walks but I guess it would be nice. I hopped onto my boat and sailed down. I had put my boat at the dock. I walked down the street to the video store. I would watch the morning news there.

When I went the news was still on. "Breaking news, government officials, the police and scientists are looking for fugitive Kai Thompson, if you see him you are to call the police immediately. If you are caught helping or hiding him you will be arrested and charged." The lady on the news had said." Another story, is new found variant of the colarode virus had been discovered, symptoms of this variant are, severe nausea, constipation, severe nose bleeds, blood clots to the brain and even death, that's all we have for today's new, have a good morning."

Holy shit, he wasn't lying, what the hell did he do so bad he has police and government after him, was he a mass murder. He doesn't seem like the type though. I was scared, not at the fact he could have murder like 100 people but at the fact that someone could catch him, if they do he would probably get sentenced to death or something. I don't know what he did so, I don't know what his punishment would be but, probably something bad.
