That's not how the story is supposed to go. 

So. Uh. She should be calling adults in this situation.

But there are no adults around. Also, she just escaped them. Also, they wouldn't believe her and then it'll turn out that the mysterious boy is gone, and she's gonna be beaten for that.

I guess I could just run away. I guess I should just run away from this shaitan. Is he that? I don't even know.

He was kinda nice, though. Before he was all weird. 

Okay. Um. I guess that means helping him.

How do you help someone who suddenly passes out?

You wake them up and being water and pray. Right. 

Huuuuh.

What's happening.

"Wake up! Wake up! Are you alright? By the Allah, wake up!"

Oh no.

She's helping him. She's being nice to him.

She's breathing right in his face, too, while doing that. 

He cups his nose and mouth. And sits up.

"I'm fine..."

Even the lowest-quartile baseline wouldn't believe that! She's one, and she doesn't believe that. 

"Why did you fall asleep suddenly, then? Also, have this water."

"Thanks."

He gulps it. It's not properly filtrated, but it's fine. 

"Why did I pass out? Multiple things, probably. Young Mir- Transhumans pass out all the time. But also, I realized something bad."

"What?"

"I might have made you really sick. And it would be really, really bad if you made anyone else sick like that."

"Huh. Kids get sick from each other all the time, though. Is it really that bad?"

"I'm the only one who has it." Not quite true, of course, but an easier explanation. "And this sickness would kill most all kids! And then the adults are gonna be in a bad spot, too!"

"Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance."

Okay. Now. How to (ugh) handle this. 

"Yeah. As I understand it, you don't particularly want to go back to that brick farm, right, um, whatever your name is?"

"Aliyeh. And no, I don't."

"So, say I help you go even further away, and find you food for a time?"

Is this the part of the story where she's tempted? Or is is maybe not that story, but the part of the story with the Allah sends help and you are supposed to accept it?

"How would you even help me go?"

"Carry you. I'm really, really, really strong and fast."

Hop! And he's up. Zip! And he's over there. Zap! And he's back.

Huh. That's scary.

Also, that's him being naked all in my face again.

"Okay. You should cover up your shameful parts, though."

Shameful parts. LOL, okay.

"Fair enough! With what, though?"
