Chapter 8
Walter
Etta's POV
-------------
Walter. He was just standing right there. And now he's not there.
I shrink into my seat and hide behind Henry- I mean Tyrone- as he insists I call him. I can feel Mason's questioning eyes boring into us but he says nothing.
Finally he breaks the silence. "That's not weird at all," he says.
I ignore him. I point to were Walter was previously standing, "Wa-wa-wa-lter." I manage to say.
Tyrone knocks my hand down. "Okay now you're officially starting to creep me out."
"Now?" Mason says quizically.
"Well she has been through a lot," Tyrone snaps which only makes Mason chuckle. "What?" Tyrone snaps.
"Love ammuses me, espically when unrequitted," Mason says.
I can feel my face burn and I'm sure that Tyrone's is burning to.
But then I remeber that line, "Jace," I accuse him as I sit up straight.
"What?" Tyrone asks me.
I keep my eyes locked on Mason. "That's from Jace Wayland Herondale Morgentern Lightwood," I say accusingly.
Tyrone whistles under his breath, "What a name that is," he says. I ignore him.
"Who?" Mason asks.
"Don't play dumb with me Mason. Jonathon Christopher Wayland Morgenstern Herondale Lightwood-"
"Gosh, the name gets longer," Tyrone mutters.
"-said that line in City of Ashes. It's an old book but it was very famous." I finish overtop of Tyrone.
"Okay, and?" Mason asks.
"You read it! You read a book for teenage girls!" I point my finger at him accusingly.
He opens his mouth to reply when suddenley I get a call from Ella. I answer my phone. "Hello?" I say.
"Etta, Etta? There's an emergencey and you need to come down to Libertey Island right away!" Her voice is frantic.
"What happened?" I say.
"There is a tear in this universe, letting the third universe creep into it. All of the nightmares from the universe are crashing into this universe."
I drop my phone onto my lap and I can hear Ella's voice faintly saying Etta?! Etta?! but I ignore her. I now know why I saw Walter. I'm not crazy.
I turn to Tyrone, "I'm not crazy!" I say happily.
"I might have to disagree," Mason interjects.
But then I get less happy when the reality of this dawns on me. Our mission was to try and close the whole between our universes and now... Our mission just got a whole lot bigger.
Thank you all so much for commenting!
I know that this chapter was again, short, but I just wanted to get something out there for all of you :)
