Chapter 16: What Do We Do From Here?

Chapter 16.... What Do We Do From Here?

I left school early that day. I just couldn't handle everyone talking about Anna, people were coming up with rumors on how she died. It made me upset and it almost made me snap. So I walked home I miss Anna too much and knowing Jake has something to do with this, angers me. Luke left school a little after I did and he caught up with me. He decided he was going to come home with me, my foster mom and Chase were still gone and I have no idea where they are gone to or how long they would be away

They left at the right time though. I would propably snap if they pissed me off. We didn't talk much on the way to my house but to me that was okay. Once I was at home I opened the door and Luke came in, I didn't stop him. I decided to go to my room, Luke followed. I don't know why he was still here with me. I haven't talked to him much today, after the whole Jake thing and the whole bathroom thing I kind of stopped talking to anyone. My anger, sadness, and confusion consumed me. We went to my room

"I don't get it! Why?" I said to myself

Luke sat down on my bed, he didn't say anything and I paced the room, then all these questions hit me

"How does he know? Who is he working for? Who wants me dead?"

I turned to Luke looking for the answer but I knew that he didn't have the answers I was looking for. He didn't say anything, he didn't even move. He looked at me and I can tell there was sadness in his eyes as well as pain. I stood there looking at him, he slowly got up, and without a word he came over and hugged me. It calmed me down a lot, I hugged him back. He brushed his hand through my hair

"If they are after you they are after all of us." He whispered

"You must warn the others." I said

"They already know." He said

I nodded, he was right. When one of us is killed we all know we are in danger, I guess they figured that out last night. Now we have to protect ourselves from everyone, and anything that comes after us. The question was who was after us and how do they know about our creator plus the other creations. I stood there in Luke's tight embrace, I tried to wriggle out of his grip and I did. He looked at me tilting his head

"They should just take me. This all happened because I came here."

"Kat they won't just stop at you now. They won't stop until all of us are dead."

The thought of Luke losing his life hurts me, him just fading away is damaging. Like Anna, for the longest time before I knew Anna was still alive it hurt to think she was dead, I can't lose another person who is so close to me. Luke came up to me, he took my hand and held it

"Kat you don't know how much Anna missed you, she would talk about you all the time. She said you were a fighter, a good one, all you did was train. She said that she helped you shed your fear of going outside. She told me all about you. This was before I met you and you seemed like an amazing person and I was right. She really painted a clear image of you."

I smiled. Anna really talked about me a lot, she really did miss me, I missed her just as much. If I trusted anyone I would've talked about Anna all the time. How strong she was, how brave she was but most of all how happy she was

"I have a question."

"Yes?"

"One night I was looking at the moon and the I closed my eyes and thought of her, when I looked at the moon again I seen a red flash. Like the moon was red for a split second. Was that her thinking of me too?"

"Where was your locket?"

"In the drawer, in the night stand." I said pointing to it

"What happened was that you and Anna were thinking about each other at the same time, since your locket was in the drawer I guess it was close enough to you to pick up something. Your locket picked up your brain signals, when you closed you eyes then opened them again your eyes were able to see the colour of your locket. Hence the red moon. It somehow connected with your brain and your eyes. Your glowing locket connected with your brain and that resulted in the red moon."
