She didn't even want to think about it, about what would happen after that.  Instead, she latched onto his promise of somewhere safe...  <br/><br/>"Where?  I mean, is it close by?  I've never been out of the city in my life before, I don't have anything except..."  She made a motion encompassing the clothes on her back and then shrugged, pouring herself a cup of the nasty smelling brew as well, sniffing it and then taking a sip.  Her nose curled up and her face wrinkled as she hasitly poured it into the sink.  Why anyone would want to drink the awful stuff was beyond her.<br/><br/>"Do I really have a choice?" she asked, her voice small.  <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Io smiled at her.<br/>"Oh, there's always a choice. In this case you have one good and several bad options, but the choice is yours. If you want, I could take you to Dartmoor College. It's a couple of hours drive outside of town, but I'll get you there without much trouble. The place...well, you could say it specializes in taking care of young changelings like you."<br/>Lily had heard about the place. Her family had considered sending her there before her abduction, but hadn't decided. The tuition was steep even for a family as well off as hers had been. It was an all girls college catering to the absolute upper crust of New York society. She also knew the college had a high school boarding school to get younger girls started early on the Dartmoor experience. She had always dreamed about the place, a prestigeous school surrounded by beautifull countryside, and now she was told there were changelings there? She could hardly believe it.
