I watch Katherine eat her soup, she looks better then she did earlier, when she told me about her friend, but she looks afraid, like she knows something that scares her. I grab her hand and say, "Is something wrong?" She looks into my eyes and yells, "Yes! My friend was taken away today and I'm never gonna see her again!" She burst into tears and runs from the house. I try to follow her but she's fast and small, hard to catch. But she won't go far. I know where she'll be. At her friend's parents' house. Well, at her dad's house. Her mom was a healed, she was taken also.
I sit at the table and finish my soup, she needs to mourn. I understand that. I needed time after my mother was taken, I didn't get it. When I'm done eating I begin the dishes, I'll go over there later. By eight the house is clean. I don't have much more I can do. I head for Mr. Mondir's house (Mr. Mondir is Katherine's friend's dad).
When I get there, I find Mr. Mondir in the dining room, dark circles under his eyes. I knock on the piece of wood be they entrance. He looks up at me and smiles sadly, "She's upstairs." He says.
I look him in the eyes, "She can stay a while, if you'd like.
He silently nods his head. I go home.
Hey, guys, sorry this chapter was a little short, I'll try to add more to this story as soon as possible!
