Once Upon a Time...
They likely felt the world shift, a fragmentation of all they thought they knew. It was the way a fictional character might feel if they could feel every page turn in the book they lived in. It was the beginning of a new story and that meant an end to an old one and they would each feel that.
To some it would feel like they had just died. To others, it would feel like they had just been born. To many, it would feel like both at the same time. It all really depended on who they were and what they were leaving behind.
In any case, this world had something New appear in it. After lightning crackled in the evening sky without any storm fueling it, they would find themselves waking up in the streets of a small town called Burgess. It was a perfectly ordinary Pennsylvania town, a place where the modern mixed with the old, American suburbia at its finest, making it all the stranger that something extraordinary would happen somewhere so ordinary.

There was more than the usual teenage sass at work here. This girl was aggressive like an abused animal - snapping at everything, ready to bolt at a moment's notice.
No kid should be in that situation, but as she'd pointed out, she already was.
"If Manny's recruiting child soldiers that other people have already recruited . . . that's still not a call we can stand by. But whether you end up in the fight or just stick to finding your way home, you don't have to do it alone. That's why we came here."

"Why don't we go meet up with the others so you can see if anyone you know is there, then you can figure out what you wanna do from there, okay? We'll figure something out."

"Fine," she said. "Point me toward this lake of yours, and you two can keep scouring the area for whoever else is wandering around."

"Can't miss it."
Hopefully she'd actually go there, instead of running off.
