They get the van out of the ditch and fix it up. "Alright guys I think I've got it all together. Ty start the van up for me." Walter says to Tylia. She climbs in and starts it. "See guys I told you guys. You just didn't want to believe me." "Well now that's done I'm realizing that we might need something else." Says Charsi. "Which is what?" Says Tylia. "New clothes of course. What were you thinking Ty?" "Honestly I have no idea."
They went out on the road and come up to this strange mall. Everyone gets in the parking lot and they go inside. Tylia cried out because she fell through one of the stairs. Alish tries to help her out of the hole she made. As she does she notices that everyone is gone. Then Alish and Tylia keep hearing what sounds like a child running. All of a sudden a little girl runs into Tylia. "Ow! Wait where the hell did you come from!?" The girl being scared runs away from them.
Alish lays Tylia down and catches up to the girl. She grabs her arm to stop her from leaving. That's when Alish saw her birthmark. She snaps out of it and finally asks her..."what are you doing here alone?" The girl explains her story. "You see I once lived in this beautiful place with my mother. She always told me stories about my father and how she left him. She always told me how beautiful her house was." Alish cuts her off. "What did the house look like?" The girl answers and continues on. "She never said what it looked like. But it was surrounded by forests and Lake Montero was behind it."
Alish looks at her confused and says..."but you never answered my original question." So she does. "She told me to hide here and to never be seen by anyone. I thought you were her. It's been two years since she said that and left." Alish now asks her the most important question. "What's her name?" The girl looks up afraid to answer, but does anyway. "Casey Zbick."
