Lydia finally shut off her cellphone and jumped to her feet as she heard the girl coming closer.  Her fight-or-flight instinct told her to run, but her feet remained glued to the ground where she stood.  What should she do?  The veiled woman she had been spying on was staring at her.  She was suddenly reminded that in the Middle East, where terrorism was supposedly at its peak, the women were forced to cover their bodies and faces in a manner much like the girl before her was.  Was she about to witness a part of that terror first-hand?  Would the girl kill her for spying on her and her mother?<br/><br/>Lydia was beginning to shake with fear.  Suddenly she asked herself what a couple of Middle Eastern terrorists would be doing out here.  And besides, even if these two were from the Middle East, that didn't exactly mean they were automatically terrorists.  She realized how blinded by fear she had been and scolded herself silently for her moment of stupidity.  "Ummm... hi..." she said nervously to the girl, extending her hand in greeting.  "Sorry about creeping around, I was just looking for the proper time to introduce myself, and I guess the Fates just got tired of waiting for me.  I'm Lydia Blackfoot.  I'm like the closest thing you have to a neighbor I guess...  I heard your car pull up from Miller's Pond, and decided to check it out, since this place has been abandoned since old man Longhorn died."<br/><br/>Lydia was dressed mostly in black, with spiked wristbands and a spiked collar with a chain hanging down from it, the other end of the chain clipped onto one of her belt buckles.  She wore a black shirt with a lavender skull and crossbones on it, a pleated black miniskirt with a black belt which had iron cross studs in three rows, a pair of striped purple and black tights, and black skater's shoes with purple laces and purple stripes on the sides, with a different skull and crossbones embroidered on the heels.  She was tall and scrawny, with hair dyed purple and tied back in braided pigtails.  She wore oblong glasses with thick lenses, but a wire frame, and a cadet's hat with a pair of goggles with dark lenses above the bill.  She smiled a bit shyly at the girl who had found her out.
