Chapter One: Welcome to Strangetown
Bianca stared at the plot of land that was her new home. She was now the third DiPotere woman to venture into this barren place. But Bianca did not know this. She barely knew what had drawn her to the town at all. Bianca's predecessors had known what brought them to Strangetown. For Bianca, her destiny was not so clear.
The Internet story had been so compelling...so believable...but how could she believe?
A ghostly cry for help hidden among the angsty teen blogs which littered the World Wide Web? It hadn't been the story, though, so much as the blogger's name that caught her eye.
Mirabella DiPotere.
"And DiPotere means family," she said aloud.
Gaia howled. "Oh sweet Gaia, you are my family too. And you will give me the first of lots and lots of precious kittens to love. How about 20?"
As she snuggled Gaia, Bianca thought back to the devestating and mysterious house fire that had claimed the lives of her parents. To this day, no one knew by what miricle she had escaped, but someone had carried her out to the lawn that night.
"No time to dwell on that now," she said, scanning the paper for a job. "Living on the lawn...what a life."
Biance closed the paper, having decided to apply for a job as a local campaign worker. A lovely woman in red walked past, and Bianca smiled. 'A new friend,' she thought.
But though she tried to initiate a conversation, the woman refused to speak. Was she a mute? The woman in red dismissed that theory by muttering one word. "DiPotere," she said, and walked away.
"Well, that was really strange," said Bianca. "How on earth would that woman know my name?" In a strange way, though, Bianca felt validated. This seemed like the sign she had been waiting for...albeit a creepy one...it was still a sign that would tell her she'd made the right decision in coming to Strangetown.
Bianca pushed her thoughts aside for the moment. She needed to get out, hit the town, and make some money! 94 Road to Nowhere -- the local pool -- seemed a good enough place to start.
Bianca made some good money working as a barista, then went home to sleep. Exhausted as she was, there was no time to ponder the strange woman from earlier, or to question her decision. She had arrived in Strangetown...all she needed to do now was begin her legacy.
