She took her compass from her backpack. Neil had instructed them that once they reached the outskirts then there would be someone who would accompany them.
As she walked, her mind ran through the experience Neil had shared when he came to the world.
Neil was shocked to see the world. The world was different but somewhat similar at the same time.
The people were similar to humans. But with some differences.
He thought that people would recognize him. But nobody recognized him.
As he walked around, he went and sat on one of the benches. A person approached him with a warm smile
"Human" he asked
Shock was written all on Neil's face, he doesn't know how to react.
"It's your first time right, its ok to feel shocked"
There was fear in Neil's eyes. Fear about what would happen.
"Don't be afraid you are safe here"
Slowly they started to talk and realised that he was quite a nice person. They talked about both of their worlds. How things are there and here.
He also talked about his idea of bringing a group here and for them to study about it. The man commented that it would be difficult for something like that, but somehow Neil convinced him that it would be secret. And everything would be arranged and they would behave properly. He just has to guide them for a short amount of time and just arrange the basic necessities.
As they reached the outskirts of the forest, they saw a man standing there. He was wearing a robe. He couldn't make out his face as he was standing against the moonlight.
"Night" he asked
"Grass" Evelyn replied
It was a code language they created to recognize each other.
"Come with me" he said leading the way
They walked for two hours and reached a town. The town was asleep as everyone was sleeping. The houses in the town looked like a palace. They were so big. But as she looked around she noticed things, none of the houses were separated by walls.
Most of the houses are painted in brown and cream. They had different shades of the colours. It looked like it was the colour theme of the house.
Each and every house had their own swimming pool, a garage, and a big garden that emerged with the nearby garden of another plot. She thought that this town was for wealthy people.
Now she felt a small fear, they didn't have that much money with them. How do they survive in a wealthy town
As they reached, they stopped at the house at the end of the town. It was not as big as some of the houses there. But it was still big enough. Five times bigger than the house she stayed in.
Before she went inside, she had a feeling something could happen. Something life changing.
