The song in the last chapter was "Burn" by the Sisters of Mercy, possibly the best band ever.

Mei Pei Chi watched her house, along with everything in it burn. A slight frown on her face as she watched the fire spread to the other houses. Oh well, its not like the corpses could complain.

She shoved her hands into her pockets, her hands blindly feeling the only things she had left. A few ribbons, a burnt biscuit she had saved to feed to the birds later, and a piece of paper. Mei took the piece of paper out to look at it.

It was winkled and yellow with age. She remembered the time the American came to her town. She never got to see the tourist, hiding instead in her room, but her father managed to bring back something. It was a picture of the Stature of Liberty. She smiled; this country must truly be great if they built a green woman to welcome all her guests.

A week later Mei finally arrived to New York City. Granted, it didn't look quite like the picture, but it had its charm. People didn't look at her; indeed, it was as she was invisible. And draping her cloak over every inch of her body, Mei made sure not to give them any reason to think other wise.

And there was the problem of housing. She spent her last money in Chinatown on rice, and cardboard boxes didn't appeal to her. Mei frowned, looking up at the sky. While the giant green lady may have welcomed her, the weather wasn't going to be as kind.

"Another layer, beneath the city"

What?

"Man-hole, sewer, shelter"

Mei wasn't sure if she trusted the new voices yet, but they hadn't steered her wrong yet. Climbing down into the sewer Mei was over commend with the smell of human waste. Placing her hand over her nose and mouth she started walking down the narrow passageways.

"Dammit Leo!" a voice echoed down the through the labyrinth. Following the voice Mei soon found herself by an old subway station. She heard angry voices shouting angry words that her father never told her the meaning of.

Peering into the well-lit station, she was blinded for a second by the bright lights. After she adjusted her vision she saw four beings.

Four beings that were like her. Never in her life had Mei seen anyone that shared any physical resemblance to herself

"Kill them"

"What?" Mei frowned and decided it was just the wind. Mei looked around and finding the light switch, turned off the lights.

When she turned back on the lights, the beings that were so like her were hanging upside down by their ankles.

"What the fuck!" the one in red yelled.

If she was ever to introduce herself, now was the time.
