Whoa, I didn't see that coming! The poor guy. D: Fantastic use of tension to create a very dramatic feeling! And the story isn't moving TOO fast, so the tension holds up. Can't wait to see more! (also, hope you're enjoying your break!)

Chapter 6
“Help you?” she couldn’t help but repeat his words with a questionable tone.
He nodded slowly as he bit his lip nervously.
“B-but you’re so-so,” Dakota could not clearly put to words her feelings and found them to be rather ineffable.
He continued to look at her with that pitiful gaze, until Dakota finally sighed in defeat.
“Okay, I’ll help you,” she said forcing a smile as she slowly crawled closer to him. He flinched and moved into a more tightened position as he protectively brought his arm in even closer.
She raised a brow, “I’m not gonna hurt you you know, if anything you could hurt me. No reason to be so afraid.”
He loosened up a bit, knowing that she truly meant him no harm, yet he couldn’t help but feel nervous and fearful. After all, he knew almost nothing about this girl, or even humans in general.
“C-can I see it?” she asked nervously leaning forward and placing her small hand on his arm.
The creature flinched nervously, his arm jolting, smacking straight into Dakota and sending her falling back onto her butt as she yelped.
Dakota fell backwards letting out a weak yelp as she was knocked onto her back.
The creature’s eyes widened realizing that he had injured her and he sat up slightly looking at her concerned. It was not until now that he registered how easily he could hurt the small girl. He spoke weakly, “A-are you-“
He was cut off as she began to cry, using her hands to support herself as she sat on her butt.
He looked uneasy and panicky reaching out and hovering his hands over her nervously as he stuttered, “A-are you alright?”
Moving his arm in such a way was rather painful, but he managed to bite down the pain as he looked down at the girl concerned.
She looked up at him knowing that he did not intend to injure her, and she sniffed loudly before she wiped the tears from her eyes. She nodded her tiny head up and down and sniffed again before she forced a smile.
He sighed in relief, then his face tensed up from the pain in his arm, and he once again brought his arm in close to him protectively.
“Oh that’s right,” Dakota exclaimed sitting up, “We have to fix your arm!”
She left her bag on the ground as she stood up, “I’ll be right back, I promise!” She said in an eager tone before she took off up the hill bolting towards her house. She turned her head one last time and shouted back to him, “Don’t go anywhere!” before continuing off. It’s amazing really how a child’s mood can change so quickly from the smallest catalyst. If anything now Dakota was filled with excitement. The creature she had thought would surely be a terrible monster was actually not-so scary. And despite the fact that he nearly accidently knocked her senseless, she seemed to forget all that as he seemed to be rather nice. As a little girl Dakota did not completely register how entirely odd the entire scheme of events was. Sure she knew he was bizarre creature from space, but to her running to her house to get medical supplies was like a game of pretend doctor. At five years old she just couldn’t comprehend the extent of her discovery.
And so she opened the door to her house as quietly as she could, yet it still creaked rather loudly. She hurried to the bathroom cabinet where they kept the first aid supplies. Too short to reach the cabinet, young Dakota crawled up onto the counter, sitting up on her knees as she gazed through their medical supplies.
She grabbed a box of large band-aids looked at the cover of the box for a moment and then put it back on the shelf. Surely her new Alien friend would not be happy with hello kitty band-aids. She continued to browse through the cabinet until she spotted a box of extra-large band-aids and put it in her bag triumphantly. She knew that her father always put on some sort of spray that stung when she got a cut, but he said it stopped her cuts from getting infected. And so, when she was sure that she had picked the correct little bottle of spray, she dropped that too into her bag. Then she sat down on her butt, her legs dangling off the counter as she jumped down onto the ground as quietly as she could.
When she reached the lake she couldn’t keep the excitement from her face. He looked up at her curiously, unsure as to what she intended to do. But he trusted her, and that was enough. She sat down on the sand next to him, panting from her sprint to the lake. Before she looked up at him and smiled. He just stared at her with that same nervous pitiful look.
“Don’t worry, er- Mr. Sea monster,” she said realizing she still did not know his name,” I’m gonna help you.”
He sat up slightly, using his uninjured arm to support himself as he lowered his arm next to her.
She swung he backpack off her back and placed it next to her. She unzipped it, and peered inside before sticking her hand in and pulling out the disinfectant spray and band-aids.
“Now Mr. Monster,” she said holding up the bottle of spray for him to see, “This stuff is gonna burn, but my Daddy puts in on me when I get hurt, and it will stop your booboo from getting infected.”
He just nodded his head looking ever more nervous at the sound of the word sting. Her band-aids and disinfectant were obviously not the proper treatment for his enormous wound, considering his size as well. If anything his arm need stitches, and the extra-large size band-aids which were as large as her hand, were just enough to cover the width of his enormous wound.
She opened the bottle of spray and aimed it towards his hand. Then she looked up at him as spoke in a strangely confident tone, “Please don’t whack me Mr. Monster, I know it stings.” She sprayed it about 5 times to cover ever part of his cut, and his arm flinched uncontrollably, yet somehow still restrained enough as to not whack her. He bit his lip in pain with each spray but was obviously trying to contain himself so he would not hit her.
He continued to look on curiously as she opened up the band-aid and placed it over the bottom of his wound. In the end it took the entire box of band-aids to cover the length of his wound. Placing the last band-aid on softly, she looked up at him her face brimming with satisfaction, “All done Mr. Monster!”
It was silent for a moment before he spoke,“Teren,” he said softly looking down at her as he brought his arm back into his side.
She cocked her head confused.
Hee repeated himself with a smile, “My name’s Teren.”
She grinned back and spoke eagerly, “My name’s Dakota!”
He laughed slightly at her sudden excitement. Dakota noticed his laughter, it made her up happy that she was able to cheer him up, he was surely in a much better state then when she had found him lying on the beach earlier this morning, and she was sure things would only get better from here.
