Chapter Eight

“Calix has all that writing – Valais – all over his chest, back, and arms,” I blurted out.

“When did you see Calix undressed?” Rush shot a look at me. He now had an expression across his face that I couldn’t read any more clearly than the writing I had seen. Was it a look of jealousy? No. Why would it be?

“He showed up this morning and fixed the lock,” I said, leaving out the part where I’d discovered Calix watching me naked in the shower. “He made some big drama about stripping off to the waist while he fixed the door.”

“Oh,” Rush said. “Sounds like Calix. He loves to flex those muscles in front of the girls.”

“Well, his muscles didn’t do anything for me,” I said, secretly remembering how deep inside I’d actually thought it was a shame that such a nice looking body belonged to such a jerk.

“No?” Rush cocked an eyebrow at me.

“No,” I said. “And besides, why has he covered his body with all that writing?”

“Calix wants to remember,” Rush said.

“Remember what?”

“Where we originally came from – our home,” Rush said. “He left our home reluctantly in Switzerland. He thought we should have stayed.”

“I wish he’d go back,” I muttered under my breath.

Rush heard what I’d said. “Calix isn’t so bad when you get to know him.”

“So you keep saying,” I said. “He blames me for the death of that girl but it’s true what I said. I did see those hands grab Annabel. And there was something else, too.”

Rush glanced at me. “What?”

“She said something – just before she was grabbed from behind,” I told him.

“Like what?”

I closed my eyes, picturing Annabel standing beneath the trees at the edge of the graveyard just before those slender white hands shot from the darkness and took hold of her. With gooseflesh breaking out over my arms, I opened my eyes and looked at Rush. “Annabel said that there are no humans. What do you think she meant by that?”

With that infectious smile creeping over his face again and blue eyes shining bright, Rush said, “It doesn’t mean anything.”

“How can you say that?”

“Look, I’m devastated that the little girl got killed by a wolf, but she was known as a bit of a troublemaker – you know the sort of kid. She was kinda wild, always in trouble. Annabel was always wandering off. I’ve lost count of how many hours we’ve wasted searching the woods for her fearing that she had come to harm. She’d been warned to keep away from the wood beyond the graveyard. She was forever lying and making up tales. It was probably because of some feud or disagreement that Suzanne got into a fight with Annabel.”

There hadn’t been any kind of disagreement between Suzanne and Annabel that I’d been aware of and I wasn’t convinced that was the true reason for the fight breaking out in class. And there was something else too that Rush had said that didn’t sit quite right with me.
