Her mother walked back into the room.

"Are you hungry?"

I shook my head.

"Are you sure. You look sick. Come, sit by the fire."

She led me to the front side of her couch. In front of the couch was the fire place.

"Merlin's beard, your freezing! Let me get you a blanket."and she hurried off to another part of the house.

The girl stared at me. She was blond and had a presence of airiness about her. Her eyes were wind and she had an expression of surprise permanently glued to her face.

"What happened to you?", she asked as if this was a normal conversation.

Instead of speaking, I unwrapped my cloak to reveal my blood stained shirt.

"You were stabbed", she said, again, as if this was a typical thing to discuss.

I nodded.

At that moment, the woman returned with a blanket.

"Here it is. Sorry if it long. I tried to warm up one and ended up lighting a few on fire."She said. She looked at the girl and I."Star isn't making you uncomfortable is she?" She asked,"She can make people uncomfortable sometimes."

I shook my head no. It was actually kind of nice to be able to tell some one that there was something wrong with me.

"OK. Good. She acts just like mom."

"She thinks I'm strange." Star said," I think being strange is better than being the same. If we were all the same, then there would basically be millions of us."

Millions of us. Was there more of me. Or am I the sole victim of this strange occurrence. Or am I an inferi? God, or whoever did this to me, I hope not.
