"It's strange being here with you. I hardly know you. But...sometimes it feels like we're the same person born into two different worlds." - Marie Lu
Time was standing still, or at least it seemed to do so. The clock didn't move an inch even though the batteries were fully charged, the wind had stopped moving the branch against the window and a bird that had been about to slam into the glass was now completely frozen in the air. This however was just an illusion. Elise didn't even realize she was doing it. Sometimes it just happened. Other times she was fully aware. It was first when she looked at the clock for the third time that she realized it wasn't moving.
"Oh no." She mumbled as she let her power rest and finally could see the time. Realizing she would be late if she didn't hurry, Elise rushed to change clothes and get her shoes on. She didn't want to go out as she had begun to feel slightly paranoid. She had been in the same place for two months already. What if he had found out about her whereabouts. What if he had sent people after her already. She shuddered. No, he hadn't found her. Not yet. She had been extremely careful and made sure no mutant or human would figure her out.
In the last second, Elise noticed that her pocket was empty. "Oops, almost forgot." She ran back inside to get the pendant her mother once had given to her. It always made her feel safe. She fast pushed it down into her pocket and ran out. She did need money to live, so she took any temporary job she could get. She refused any permanent employment as that would force her to stay in the form of the same person for a long time. It was far too dangerous. Today her shape was that of a rather short girl with long red hair and green eyes. The hair was brushing softly on her chest. Even though it only was an illusion, she could make that illusion seem as real as it needed to be. The only part she couldn't seem to get down properly was smell and taste. Those were dead giveaways. Though normal humans rarely picked up on it. They just saw what they wanted to see. Mutants on the other hand, those who knew that other mutants might be there messing with their minds, was more likely to keep their eyes open for anything odd. That included Elise herself.
As she had gotten halfway to her new temporary workplace, she heard some commotion from nearby. Slightly worried and curious she couldn't help but move towards the noise and the growing gathering of people. A house was on fire. For a moment she wondered if she should call 911, but the idea fast left her mind. People were already making calls, and they were most likely already on their way. It was hard to just leave though. She couldn't do anything to help, but it seemed so cruel to just turn around and go about her day as if nothing had happened. Somehow she ended up standing there for quite some time. As the firefighters started rolling in however and it seemed as if all the humans were out of the building, Elise decided that it was time to leave.
