Chapter Twelve
The preschool was in a panic. Teachers and students were running around screaming like chickens with their heads cut off, and the parking lot was full of frantic parents that were all calling for their children. For a minute, Annie and I just stood by our car, watching the chaos that Tabitha had created, unsure of where to start. From the parking lot, I could see maybe two dozen or more slow zombies stumbling around the playground, but they didn’t seem to be doing any kind of actual damage.
It was like they were just walking around to scare people. Tabitha could have commanded them to attack people, but she didn’t. She chose this place for a reason, but it wasn’t to cause people the most pain. It was to scare them…or was it? Did she choose this place for me? There was something about this place that made me feel like I’d been here before, but I couldn’t quite place it.
“Let’s get to work,” Annie said tightly. “Tanya, you and Ezra come with me. Holly, you and Finn go with Ronnie. Stay close to her. And if any of you see Tabitha, call out, and we’ll all come running.” Annie looked over at Finn. “Do not let Ronnie engage her alone. You were foolish to give the two of them alone time before. Don’t make that mistake again.”
Finn clenched his jaw to keep from snapping at Annie, and nodded his head. He’d been in a really bad mood for the last few hours, and I knew it had something to do with our fight. Who am I kidding? It has everything to do with our fight. He’s mad at me because I won’t give him a chance, and he’s mad at himself because he feels like it’s his fault I’m pushing him away.
Annie and I hadn’t been the same since she found out what exactly I’d been keeping from her. She felt betrayed that I’d told Finn and not her, since she was my teacher and he was just my friend, which I didn’t quite understand. She believed that I should have told her, but she had once told me to never disobey the Council, and that’s why I hadn’t told her. I felt slightly guilty about telling Finn and not her, and the only reason I’d done it was because I knew that Finn knew me too well to keep something like that from him. He would have found out sooner or later, and coming clean to him gave me someone to talk things over with.
I understood why Annie was mad at me, but I thought she was being a little unfair by giving me the cold shoulder and treating me like a child incapable of making good decisions. I’d shown that I could be trusted, and I’d shown that I was willing to do what was necessary for the greater good. She had no right to treat me like I was in danger of betraying my friends at any given moment.
