Mortal Danger (The Immortal Game)
“Davina stirred on her futon and I ran back to mine, half afraid of what else might creep out of the dark and of the monsters my unconscious mind might create. You need other people to believe for your nightmares to be made real. But that didn’t comfort me much.
I didn’t sleep. Each tick of the clock, I wanted to call Kian. I didn’t. Be brave. Be strong. They need your permission to come in. Right?
If they didn’t, then life would get ugly, fast.
Early the next morning, Jen’s mom fed us a healthy... breakfast of egg whites, fruit, and yogurt, and then I got the hell out before they noticed how haggard I looked. Davina’s mom was picking her up later, so I hugged Jen and then Davina, thanked everyone, and ran for it. But I stopped on the sidewalk beneath the streetlight, staring at the dark imprint of man-size footprints that seemed to be burned into the cement. Of the two children who accompanied the bag man, there was no sign. But I read dire portents in the shape of his shoes: This is mine now and I will return.MoreLess
