In paragraph four it may help to place an emotional statement, image, or any other kind of clue as to how she's feeling. Running from the "follower" could be take as a natural fear that some people feel when they have to turn off the lights in a basement at night and then must make it up the stairs, or as paranoia/sneakiness (which for all I know might be what you're going after).

The fifth paragraph made me feel as if I needed to raise a lot of questions. Such as: "Why were there revelries?", "How was Aleithea able to blend in?", "who are 'them'?". I could be being picky, but I feel as if it leaves too much for the reader to interpret and guess at. However, like I said, I could be just being overly picky and cramping your style.

I can't wait to read Chapter One! so i am going to right now!

Thanks! Only problem is I'm trying to avoid identifying that specific character beyond the point of the reader being able to know who I'm talking about.
