The strangers

She looks over at the stranger. She is not supposed to make eye contact or have any conversations with strangers, but everyone has made it down to where the strangers have settled down. They came in just five nights ago, and everyone had immediately felt the fear creep in. They had all heard the stories when the big men from the North came in their ships in the night. Back then she had just been a young girl, but now three years later she was a woman.
