It was like Yulette Tasse's heart had stopped for a moment. She was alive and breathing but it didn't feel like it, "You're positive that was Dart?"
"Yes. He had the same exact yellow pattern on his butt," Maybe it was over? Maybe Yulette could finally go home! Everyone seemed pretty calm... but nothing was ever over, right?
"He was tiny two days ago," Max added to the conversation. Maxine. The girl that Yulette had almost kissed ; now, they'll never speak of it again. Honestly, Yulette would rather have it that way. Dustin spoke up again, "Well, he's molted three times already."
"Malted?"
"Molted. Shed his skin to make room for growth like hornworms," Dustin explained quickly. He seemed to know what he was talking about, but Yulette didn't understand his complicated words.
"When's he gonna molt again?"
"It's gotta be soon. When he does, he'll be fully grown, or close to it. And so will his friends."
Steve blurted out, "Yeah, and he's gonna eat a lot more than just cats." Now it was starting to make a little more sense. Yulette remembered the long car ride that the two boys talked about cats ; she didn't understand it then, but she did now. That thing ate a cat. Dustin's cat.
"Wait, a cat? Dart ate a cat?"
Yulette just wanted to sleep. She knew she was better off without any of this drama. She knew that she was supposed to live in a different life ; everything in this life was a mistake, "No, what? No. What are you talking about?"
"He ate Mews," Steve answered. Who was Mews? Come on Yulette... remember. Digging through of her memories, she was really trying to be helpful : she felt useless.
Max questioned Steve's answer, "Mews? Who's Mews?"
That's when Yulette remembered who Mews was. She was finally going to do something helpful, "Dustin's cat," Yulette Tasse had said the information that she shouldn't have said, and that made certain people mad.
