Once she finally reached New York she smiled, everything looked just like the game, every detail didn't fail, it made her happy. She was somewhere familiar to her but she could help to feel abit saddened at the fact that she wasn't home with Riley talking about today, she couldn't come back to Riley till the apple decided to take her back, she looked down saddened as her thoughts swirled around Riley, was Riley worried over her older sister who had just ran without explanation? Was Riley worried because she didn't even saw a proper goodbye? If she knew this would have happened she wouldn't have bothered to pick up the apple or even run like it ha told her too, she would have thrown it somewhere far, far away from her so she could live to see another day with her younger sister. She was interrupted from her thoughts as she felt a million beady eyes on her
Perhaps, I should keep moving so people will stop staring
She sighed as she pulled the hood over her head concealing her eyes with the beak of it, her emotions were a complete wreck, her body was somewhat shaky and her legs felt wobbly as she had walked along the streets simply taking in the scenery, the smell and the sounds of New York. Back home she never got a chance to even go to modern New York and this was her closest to being in modern New York, she received many stared and looks from the patriots however the town people didn't really seem to care or notice, she felt uneasiness from he patriots while they stared daggers at her, she knew she wasn't in trouble but it always made her uncomfortable to stared at police or in this case patriots, she knew she didn't do anything wrong but it made her feel uneasy either way. Her stomach growled loudly, she placed her hand onto her stomach trying to ignore it, she had no money so she wouldn't be able to buy good easily and she sure as hell didn't know how she could money since she never actually had a job back home, she was a YouTuber so she got money off of that, she loved her fans and everything she had done was always supported by her fans, her fans drive her to make the videos, she loved entertaining people and in return she too was happy with that, she was quiet selfless in truth.
"God damn, what am I gonna eat?" She had silently whispered to herself while still holding her stomach from hunger.

1 hour later

The hunger grew unbearable, it was ripping her apart from the inside along with clouding her good judgement and thinking, the only thing she wanted and needed was food. She came across the harbor which had many food stands, she eyes them all not sure on which one to steal from first, she was hungry, she picked her lips slowly as he eyes scanned the food and the salesman's hungrily. She knew it was wrong but she didn't care and couldn't hold her hunger much longer after all she hadn't eaten breakfast before leaving to comicon with Riley that morning. She eyed the closest one to the left only to eye a thick lady who had a basket full of fruits and veggies of every sort, she smiled as the lady was too distracted by the salesman to possibly notice anything missing, she then slowly walked towards her trying to not act suspicious as she had purposely bumped into the thick women which startled her and caused her to stagger backwards, her basket had fallen and everything fell to the ground.
Perfect, now all I have to do is run with two apples at least...I'll pick off more later but I only have two hands, I'll put one in the pouch and eat one while I run off
She smirked as she had quickly grabbed two of the women's apple and had ran off, she heard the women scream bloody murder to near by patriots, she had placed one apple in the pouch and began to munch one one while she ran, she heard gaspings grime people behind her as she heard heavy patriot's feet following her from behind, she was in track for three years, she was quicker then them. She turned sharply and had turned once more only to be In-between two houses leaning her body to the wall and blending into the shadows, she closed her eyes and heard the patriots run right past her, she was holding her breath, her heart was rapidly beating, her body was shaken up. She opened her eyes and peaked out the shadows only to see the patriots gone, she sighed in relief and had sat down in the cold hard ground and had finished off the first apple. She threw the apple onto the ground and took out the other apple from her pouch and was about to bite into until she heard a thud next to her only causing her to jump up and she out I instinct had unsheathed her hidden blades.
"You didn't have to steal, stranger"
She sighed in relief as she sheathed her blades and had sat down once more in her spot and frowned at what he said now wanting to hear crap from Connor
"...piss off" she didn't dare look him in the eyes, she could hear him sigh as he sat next to her with a loud thud
"Look...you can stay at the homestead if you want"
"What's the catch?"
"I don't understand"
"What would you get out of me staying if I can't pay for an inn, much less contribute to the ever growing village? I would be of no use" she knew it to be true but at the same time she wanted to accept his offer, since she had no where else to go, but she feared rejection from the others, she feared rejection period.
Connor was silent, she was silent, everything was silent. She hated that
Say something damn it
"You do not have to pay"
"What?"
"I have a spare room at the house, I'm sure Achilles wouldn't mind you staying"
"...ask him before you decide that"
"Come with me then, we will ask him together" she couldn't help but smile slightly as she nodded and gotten up quickly brushing her butt free from dirt or anything that might have stuck their while she sat. She could feel his eyes all over only causing her to blush in embarrassment. Connor had walked infront of her while lexy had walked closely by his side, the walk and horse ride to the homestead was quiet and calm, she felt relaxed for once since she had arrived, it was pure bliss.
