Maru placed the last box on the floor and exhaled with a loud sigh. She hated moving, but this time was hopefully the last time, she would have to do it for a long time. Her new apartment was not on the big side, far from it. It consisted of a small entrance with a door out to a small bathroom and next to it was the kitchen and after it was a larger room, which served as both her living room and bedroom. She did not mind having a small apartment, she did not need much space and she even had a small balcony, where she could keep her vegetable plants.

The landlord had told her that there was only one other resident in the apartment building, well more like only one other resident in this part of Z City. He was the last one to rent out apartments in this area, and was slightly surprised that a young woman, such as her wanted to live in such an isolated and dangerous place.

She could not blame him for thinking like that. Any normal girl would probably never think about doing it either, but she was far from normal. It was the reason why she had to move in the first place. At first glance she look like a regular girl, she has dark blue eyes, long brown curly hair and a small patch of freckles over the ridge of her nose. Her former friends saw her as a tall girl, though she is only 172 cm tall. She had been blessed with a high metabolism and had always been able to eat anything she liked without gaining any notable weight, but she still has a rather curvy body. The thing about her that was not normal was her abilities.

She had always been able to hear others thoughts, it had been a big problem for her as a child, as she had just responded to people thoughts as if they had talked to her, or she sometimes said them out loud, mostly out of confusion. She had learned to control it, by focusing on her own and it worked for the most parts.

Her second ability had appeared when she was 14. She would learn things about people when she touched them; it was not too serious to begin with, just small things like their favorite show or color. Not a big deal, just annoying, but it got worse. She would learn almost everything about a person, their deepest secrets and their worst fears included, and on the same time, it made it impossible for her to ignore their thoughts. It had made her distant herself from people and always wear gloves.

Her latest ability had taken her by surprise. She could not die. It happened when she was 17. She had been on her way home, waiting for the train to arrive, when some guy came running and accidentally pushed her of the platform and down on the railway tracks just as the train came in. She could remember how painful it was, it ran her down and crushed her entire spine, and severed her legs and arms. Not only did she not die, her limps began to regrow and her spine repaired itself. After a few minutes, she was as good as new, besides her being covered in her own blood. People screamed as she had crawled out from under the train, and the medicals called it a miracle. She fallen of a bridge a week later under a monster attack, where a stop sign had staked her through the heart, and she had passed out. She later woke up in the morgue and scared the hell out of their new employer. People grew scared and fearful of her after that, and she soon began moving around, but it always ended with her leaving her new home after some time. She had finally heard about Z City and the ghost part of the city. It sounded perfect to her and she could easily hold one person's thoughts out of her head, and monster was not a real problem for her, as they could not really harm her and another plus was that the rent is cheap.

So here she is, finally done with moving all her stuff in and only needed to put the last things in their new place.

She walked into the kitchen and put her last pan in the cabinet, and looked into the fridge. "I really need to go buy some groceries" she thought to herself, and grabbed the key and her jacket going out.
