Ten pairs of eyes watched me, expectedly, and each pair never blinked. At least, I didn’t see them blink. It was as if their open eyes were permanently glued to me, and they couldn’t blink even if they wanted to.

“Okay.” I rubbed my hands together. “Hi.” Who have thought that I was terrible at public speaking when I was going to propose something insanely unreasonable and stupid?

Speaking at my father’s funeral? No problem. Compared to this, that was nothing.

“What is this about?” Max was the first to speak up. “If this isn’t serious, then I’d like to get back to Claire’s side. I’m sure Steven would agree with me.” His beady little eyes glanced to Steven for approval.

“It’s about Claire,” I said before Steven had the chance to speak his mind. That statement seemed to silence everybody pretty good. “And it’s going to sound a bit out there, and that’s because it is, but I think that it’s our only option—”

“What the bloody hell are you talking about?” Michael cut in, eyes critical. “We’ve been through the entire library and the Internet multiple times. The unhappy truth is that there’s no cure.”

Steven glared at Michael using his brown eyes as flying daggers. “If Kass has an idea, I’d be glad to hear it. It’s better than giving up all hope.”

“Michael knows that,” Liz defended him while placing a hand on his knee. “He’s just trying to get everyone to face the fact—”

“The fact that Claire’s almost dead?” Max adjusted his bug-eyed glasses. “Yes. I think we all know that by now.” The little red-head certainly has a temper, didn’t he? For good reason, of course. For a very good reason.

Like a scene from a TV show, the whole room broke out into a verbal war. I stood in shocked awe as Michael and Liz argued with Max and Steven, Gabriel threatened John and Raphael, John and Raphael threatened Gabriel, and Rain and Alyssa supported both Gabriel and John, but ignored Raphael completely.

Out of the whole room, only Taiton and I were silent.

After a few minutes of heated debate, Gabriel stood from his position on the couch and said loudly, “For God’s sake, let’s hear Kass out!” The room became deathly quiet. “It’s probably something totally ridiculous, like bartering with Crixis to see if he knows a cure, but still! We should listen to her!” He collapsed back onto the couch, pointed at John, said “I hate you,” looked at Raphael and said “And I despise you.”

“Okay, thanks Gabriel. I, uh, appreciate that…” I fidgeted with my hands, wondering how I should say this. “Does anyone know what time it is?” Gabriel coughed, making me realize that I had a watch on my wrist. “Oh, right. It’s two-forty-eight, so we have twelve minutes to decide—”

Why did I wait until the last freaking minute?

“Decide what?” Michael questioned. “What could there possibly be to decide?”

“Give her some time and I’m sure she’ll tell you,” Alyssa snapped at him, startling everyone in the room. The quiet Alyssa hardly existed anymore.
