[b] "Hi Alysia, Ferra. I'm Ishmael." [/b] the man said with a smile. The man seemed kind enough, letting Ferra's guard slowly relax. [b] "You two run pretty fast, almost lost ya for a second."[/b] he commented, making Ferra let out a small giggle. The two were pretty fast and agile, getting through that chaotic scene back there faster than most due to their size and quickness.

[b]"So are you two sisters? Are your parents in there?"[/b]

Ferra was saddened by the question slightly, [i]"No, no. We're not sisters, we just met a few minutes ago. I don't have any siblings. My mom was back there..."[/i] Ferra said, pointing a small thumb behind them. [i]"A car ran into us and trapped her inside."[/i] the young girl explained, bringing the back of her hand up to wipe her tears that were forming.

Alysia left Ferra's side to go speak with another woman, but Ferra decided her feet were still a bit sore to do too much pleasure walking. She would need to save herself for when they needed to run. Looking around, it seemed several other people were at the rest stop as well. It was no doubt that this was not a dream. [i]"Ishmael," [/i] Ferra started, looking up at the man, [i]"Is your mom and dad here?"[/i] she asked innocently enough. She decided not to hold her shoes anymore, taking off her school backpack and placing them beside the notebooks, pencils, and her school lunch.
