It's been 3 months since she left home. It's now November 1st with the chilling wind of fall. The other mutants around town just stare and make faces.
Alish gets back to the house to see Charsi, Tylia, Walter, and Summer sitting in the living room. "Hey guys! Ugh I had such a bad day. Maybe we should just stop while we're ahead." Alish announces to everyone. "We can't leave now. We got this far and we can go the rest of the way." Summer states.
They head out to eat but get dirty looks everywhere they go. "Just keep your head up. That'll show them it doesn't bother us." Summer whispers to Alish encouraging her. They sit at a little fast food place on the corner of Bird Lane and Glen Drive.
As we're walking home Tylia yells. "Look out behind you!" Alish being startled turns around to see a Strange One with her own eyes. She starts running then suddenly stops making eye contact with it. Everyone calling her name as she gets closer to the bushes. "Alish what are you doing-run!" Shouts CJ. "It'll kill you like the others!" Summer and Charsi shout simultaneously.
As Alish stands there she watches her friends leave and head home. The Strange One runs in the other direction. Alish does a double take not realizing that it left. "Hey wait up! I'm not gonna hurt you!" Alish shouts. It stops, turns around, and comes close. She can now tell that its a boy about her age. They're face to face and he asks. "You're not? I mean your friends find me really terriying." "Yeah well you're not so scary to me. Come on you can live with us we'll keep you safe." She walks away thinking he's following but turns and sees him still there. "You can trust me." She says loudly and holds out her hand. "By the way the names Ginifer. Ginifer Jones."
