Encountered: Chapter Six - in the hallway outside where Aislinn lives, Chapter Six - in the streets of Huntsdale.

On a Monday morning, Carla knocks on Aislinn's door to walk to school with her; Aislinn's good mood fades to see several fey standing in the hallway behind her:

'By the time Carla knocked on the door to walk to school, both Aislinn and Grams were smiling.
Then Aislinn opened the door and saw three faeries standing in the hallway behind Carla. They kept their distance from the door - no doubt uncomfortable because of the wrought-iron curlicues that covered the outside of the door. Grams had needed special permission to install the new door, but it was well worth it.
"Wow," Carla quipped when Aislinn's smile faltered. "Not trying to ruin your mood."' (pg64)

When she and Carla leave, she sees many more faeries, all watching her:

'Aislinn ran down the stairs, past several more faeries. They didn't usually come into the apartment building. It was one of the safer areas, no greenery in sight, steel security bars on the windows - not a bad neighbourhood, but far from the dangerous trees and shrubs in the suburbs.
As they walked the few blocks to school, Aislinn's good mood vanished entirely. Faeries crouched in the alcoves, walked behind them, murmured as they passed. It was beyond disconcerting.' (pg65)
