shaking. The woman grabs her clothes and shook her.

 

--Answer back! Who was with you?

Dana can not more and she scream.

 

--Kai! I've been with Kai all day! Everyday!

 

She suddenly felt so relieved that he did not worry strangeness
his parents, brothers and sisters. But her mother shook again.

 

--And who is that Kai? -the mother want to know.

--I...I told you once. He is my friend. My ... my best friend. A
boy my age.

The mother released her, frustrated.

--Why do you lie to me? - and her mother asked, and this time the tone of his voice
It was not threatening, but hurt.

 

--I'm not lying!. -Said Dana surprised. It's true! Kai
has long been coming to see me at the farm -Walk your gaze
the room-. Someone must have seen him! It is a blond boy...

 

--She is lying. -said one of the brothers, but the mother glared.

--You shut up! Stay out of this. -said the mother.

--Kai does not exit. -then said the elder sister. She has invented. Do you not see? He's always out there
talking to herself. Says that talks with Kai.

 

The mother adopts an expression of doubt and looked at Dana. But she
he now felt victim of a family conspiracy.

--I'm not lying! -she shouted angrily. Kai there, I see
every day, and I do not speak alone!

The rage had drowned any remorse.

--Kai Not exist, Dana. -repeated her older sister. It's just something
you've invented you.

--Is not true!!! -Dana screamed, and, unable to remain there for a moment
more, he turned and left the house at full speed. The door  slammed shut behind her.

 

Inside the room nobody moved, until they heard the opening of the
barn door. The mother breathed relief. So knew now that Dana
I had not been away. Then turned to his eldest daughter.

 

--The Next time let me take care of these things, ok? -the mother berates him harshly.

The girl did not answer, and silence returned to take over the
dinning room. Suddenly, nobody wanted dinner.

 

Inside the barn all was quiet. Only they are heard about
muffled sobs coming from the upper floor.

 

Dana had taken refuge in his favorite corner, at the top,
next to a small window that showed him a beautiful piece of
night sky. The girl often used to hide there; there was even
left a blanket when much time was left.

By the time he was going to be very useful, because I had planned to spend
the night there. He did not want to go back into the house, nor follow
living among those who had always been his family,
but now he was unfamiliar perfect. In their ears
They smacking resounded the cries of his mother, accusations of
your brothers.

 

Liar! You're lying! Kai does not exist, and you speak alone!

 

She did not remember having spoken one, and so that
statement seemed absurd; but I was too stunned
coldly to analyze this new information.

Nor heard Kai entered the barn, closing
Gently the door behind him. The boy, however, did hear their
sobs, and he began to climb the ladder until his head popped
through the trapdoor.

 

Her discovered a lump that trembled in a corner, and came over.

--Dana.  -he called softly.

The sobs ceased.

--Dana, it's me.

--Leave me in peace! -the girl's voice sounded strange, choked
blanket that covered.

 

--Leave away, you do nott exist.

 

Kai shuddered and closed his eyes with an expression of pain
his face, as if he had been stabbed in the heart. But
Dana, hidden under his blanket, I did not see it.

 

--That just wanted to talk.

 

There was a brief silence, and then head Disheveled
Dana peeked under the blanket. She was pale, his eyes
reddened and swollen nose of both mourn.

 

--That's what I wanted to talk. -Kai repeats, sitting beside her. No one can see me. Just you.

His friend looked at him incredulously.

 

--Are you kidding me?

 

--You know than not.

 

Dana did not answer right away. It did not make sense... but if not telling the truth Kai. How to explain that his family had not seen yet? How to explain who said, talking to herself, when she
never...?

 

---And because? I want to know. Who are you? What do you want from
my?

 

--I'm your friend, Or I'm not?

 

Dana shook her head. How could I be so naive Kai? From
he really think that was enough?

He seemed to guess her thoughts:

--Only you can see me. -he insisted. But I will be your friend and I will be
you always. And this is what you get.

 

--This is what it is? -Dana repeated, stupefied. And is it enough?

--What more can I say? -He also seemed annoyed. You will have other visible to everyone friends. But when they pass many years recognize that you did not have a better friend than me.

 

--What conceited! -Dana said, flabbergasted.

Kai paused for a moment. Then he said softly:

 

--You prefer I go?

 

Dana looked into his eyes.

 

--Because, if you want, I'll go. -added the boy. I will disappear from your life and you'll never have problems because of me.

 

Dana said nothing. Just she keeps looking at him, and then asked
what I would do without him, without his smile, without the frank gaze of those
sparkling green eyes, the softness of his voice. And I had to admit
that after discussion with his family, Kai was the only one who seemed to him
close and real. He was all she had left.

 

She felt the urge to embrace, but he held back. he knew
experience that he does not like to be touched.
He then asked why, and a sudden suspicion gripped his
mind. He slowly raised his hand to stroke the cheek of his friend.
He hesitated a moment, but did not pull away.
And Dana's hand clean through Kai's body, as
if he was not there.

 

The girl felt an irrational terror. He moved his arm in a
desperate attempt to touch something, but the figure of Kai, though
perfectly visible, it seemed as disembodied as fog.

 

Dana cry, and their desire to embrace Kai, to hold him to his
side, they grew to be unbearable. The child understands,

what was going through inside, and gave her a distressed look.

 

--I exist on a different plane than yours. -he tell to she. I'm sorry, I can not
Do nothing. We can be together forever and ever separated.

 

Dana cry again. She was a simple peasant who do not
I could understand those subtleties. And he was only eight years.

 

She snuggled under his blanket and turned her back to Kai, his
gaze lost among the stars visible through the small window.

 

Suddenly he felt something behind her, and did not need to turn to
know that Kai was lying beside her. He even felt his arm
around her waist. She did not notice as something corporeal, but as
a similar thing to the touch of the breeze, the warmth of a ray of sun,
the freshness of a rainy day.

 

However, the infinitely he comforted. He sighed, and snuggles next to Kai. He could not touch him, but he could feel it, and all his soul answered to that presence.

 

--Don't leave me alone, Kai. -she implores in a whisper. Do not leave me never.

--Never! -promised the boy, and his voice sounded very close to the ear
Dana, in the depths of his mind and in the depths of his heart.
