Saying that I was shocked was an understatement but having another refugee with us wouldn't be much of a problem. Aside from the fact that she was a complete stranger and I wasn't sure if she could be trusted. But she did seem to be just a kid like Joey. Jack and I would have to parent them. Talk about a full house. Alessia seemed just as lost as the rest of us and what happened to her is just awful. I wonder if what happened to her has any correlation to the Fepetaineshadows that we've been hiding from. "That is one heck of a story you got there. Ours is much less dangerous. See poor Joey here was being forced into an arranged marriage. So we left and decided to hide out here. It's not exactly safe with these creatures we call Fepetaineshadows. The good thing is if we're quiet enough they won't find us. So if you could keep the noise to a minimum we'd be happy to let you stay with us." She seemed a little confused but she stated, "Oh, that's awful. No one should force anyone to do anything. I'd be happy to stay and thankful for the food. But I also must find my mother. Do you think she could stay here too? If that is okay?" I nodded. "Of course the more the merrier. We could use all the extra hands. Just remember, keep quiet and keep an eye out for Fepetaineshadows. You'll know one when you see it. Hopefully, you don't see any but if you do. Try to stick to the shadows, make the least movement as possible, and be as quiet as you can. They don't seem to have very good sight but they do have amazing hearing." She nodded, yes. "Alright, then it's settled. You and Joey can bunk in Jacks room. He and I will work on fixing that hole and we'll stay in my room. And with no doubt we'll help find you mother. But first things first is we gotra make this place safe and secure. Understand guys?" They both said yes in unison it was cute.
