Nicole set the book aside and stared at the wall in front of her. So many thoughts raced through her mind. Was it possible that there was an end to the childbirth dilemma? Could she possibly be the one to cure the problem? Her heartbeat sped up at the excitement of the thought, while her palms grew sweaty from nervousness. Did she want that kind of attention?

Why would it require a powerful Arete? Would she be powerful enough? Would she let down Captain Price and Rebecca? Were they even to be trusted? And how would the captain know if she was ready?

Nicole’s head reeled with these thoughts and questions. Rebecca was an Arete—Nicole knew that. But she was obviously an incredibly powerful one to have created something that would affect every person born on earth for over a hundred years.

And Salmon. A city called Salmon in the Rocky Mountains.

Nicole jumped off her bed and dashed to her laptop in the living room, opening it. First, she wanted to figure out where Salmon was.

Making sure she was zoomed out far enough on the map, she started a search. There was a Salmon Creek in Washington, just north of Portland, but that wasn’t in the Rocky Mountains. She zoomed out a little farther and did the search again. This time, Salmon, Idaho, popped up. She searched again and couldn’t find another city named Salmon in the Rocky Mountains, so the Idaho one had to be the place.

Nicole pulled up her calendar on her phone. Would she have time before school started next semester to take a trip? It all depended on how quickly she mastered her abilities and how soon Rebecca and Captain Price deemed her ready.

Realizing there was nothing she could do but wait, Nicole returned to her room, got into her pajamas, and read through that entry several times.

A spider dashed across her floor and Nicole jumped, then glanced around the room. The old woman stood near the window, watching her.

“You’re Rebecca?” Nicole asked.

Rebecca nodded. “You’ve started reading Christopher’s book.”

“Yes.”

“Do you have any questions yet?”

“Oh, heavens. Tons.”

“I don’t have much time, but I wanted to stop by for a quick check-up on you. I can answer one, maybe two. We’ll get to the others next visit.”

Nicole thought through everything she’d been wondering about, then decided she needed to know how secure her environment was. She pulled down her covers and got into her bed. “How is he—uh . . . Captain Price—going to know I’m ready? Can he read my mind?”

Rebecca smiled. “No, he can’t. But we’ll know by your actions.”

“How? Do you watch me all the time?”

Rebecca sighed and sat on the edge of Nicole’s bed. “I wish I could say otherwise—I so looked forward to the peace that would come with death—but I’m a busy woman, even now. You aren’t the only person I’m working with. I’d love to visit more than just occasionally.” She pointed at the spider that watched from the corner of the room. “But surely you’ve noticed that whenever I’m near, you see a spider? They come with me.
