Chapter 15

I cal ed El en right away. And in a trembling voice begged her to come over.

She and Stevie Palmer had made up, and she was supposed to go biking with him and a couple of other guys. But she said she’d tel them to go

without her.

A few minutes later she showed up. I pul ed her up to my room. “Laura, what’s wrong?” she asked, dropping onto the edge of my bed. “You sounded

so weird on the phone.”

“It’s Dad. He’s sending me away!” I cried. “I—I heard him on the phone. With Mom. He asked if Mom could take me. He—he said he had to get me

out of here.”

El en jumped to her feet. “I don’t believe it.” She shook her head. “He can’t send you away just like that. What’s wrong with him?”

“I—I don’t know,” I stammered. “Maybe it was because of the animal that attacked me.” I told El en about the little pig. Then I showed her my neck.

“Oh, gross.” She gasped. “Does it hurt?”

“No, but Dad said I can’t go into the woods anymore. He thinks it’s too dangerous,” I said, running my fingers over the raw stitches. “But then he cal ed Mom and … and … ” A sob burst from my throat.

“How could he do that?” I wailed. “He just wants to get rid of me. He cal ed my mom without even talking to me about it. How could he, El en? He

doesn’t even care about me anymore.”

El en hurried across the room and hugged me. “Of course he cares about you,” she said. “He was upset that you were attacked. He just wants you to be safe. That’s why he cal ed your mom. But he’s not serious. He’d never send you away.”

“He’s serious,” I insisted. “He’s very serious, El en. He wants to get rid of me.”

I took a deep breath—and a new thought came to me. One that sent a shiver down my spine. “I know why he’s doing this. He checked the film in his

camera on the shed. He saw that I was in there.”

“Whoa. Slow down.” El en raised a hand. “Your father has a camera on the shed now?”

I nodded.

“And you went inside? What was in there?” she asked.

“His instruments and stuff. That’s al ,” I told her. I didn’t want to talk about the journal I had found. I didn’t know if my father was kil ing animals or not.

And I didn’t want to say anything to El en until I was sure.

“What about the animals? What about the one we heard howling?” she asked.

“There weren’t any animals inside. I don’t know what happened to them,” I said.

I plopped down on my bed. “I’m not going to Chicago. I’m not!” I declared.

El en’s chin trembled. “I sure hope not,” she said softly. I could see she was real y upset, too. But then a smile crossed her face. “At least, not until after my birthday party!”

We both laughed.

She always knows how to make me laugh.
