-Xindra's POV-
I walked through the town, wearing a cloth over my head, incase someone would recognise me. I could feel the footsteps of people walking past me. I walked up a hill, to an abandoned mansion. It almost looked haunted... Almost... I walked inside and looked around. Some of the furniture was missing from thieves and scavengers. My ears twitched as I heard something coming from behind one of the doors. I walked over to where the sound was coming from and opened the door... I walked through and could hear a whispering voice calling me into the basement. It sounded very whisp like, quiet but haunting. I followed the voice into the room to feel the floor, covered in rough wood and glass. I lifted my hood off my head and down my back. My hair was tied in a large bun on the back of my head, with my bangs covering my upper face. I stamped my foot onto the ground to see the room around me. I could see rats scurrying around the floor... I could also see someone, hiding in the corner. I walked over to the curled up figure and crouched down to their level. I lifted the hood off there face and cocked my head to the side. It was a boy.
