Later I went down to the kitchen and made myself a salad. I choked down most of it, as the room grew darker and darker.

Outside the window black clouds rolled in, until it was dark as night, and the drizzle turned to hard rain that pattered heavily on the glass. I could hear the sound of thunder starting in the distance.

I dug my cell phone out of my pocket a moment before it rang.

“Speak,” I said to Jack.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

“Sitting in a dark house, listening to thunder.”

“Sounds like fun. Feeling any better?”

“Yeah, yeah, I think I am,” I said, and, oddly, it was true. “Look, Jack, I have to say something to you. I’m not sure how.”

“Just say it,” he said.

“You were right; these guys starting on fire was no fluke.”

“I never thought it was.”

“But you can’t get involved,” I said.

“Why not? Somebody has to stop it, right?”

“Maybe, but not you. Let’s just say that this is a freak issue, and you’re not a freak.”

There was a long pause at the other end of the line. “What are you saying?” he asked. “You telling me you know what’s going on?”

“I don’t know, because I choose not to know. But I do suspect,” I said. It was one of those moments I wondered whether telling the truth was a good or bad thing. “All right,” I blurted out. “I’m a big fat liar, okay? Maybe my pants should be on fire. I think I know what’s going on. There was another name on your short list. Amy Nicci.”

“Yeah, I saw. Who is she anyway? I couldn’t place her.”

“Amy—Mean Jessica’s friend Amy.”

“Oh, her? Short dark hair, dark eyes.”

“I went to middle school with her,” I confessed.

“You did?”

“Yeah.”

“You were friends,” he concluded.

“I wouldn’t say that. It wasn’t that simple. Let’s say that I realized she was different and she realized I was different. That was the basis for something that was like friendship, but, trust me, it wasn’t really friendship.”

“This didn’t end well, did it?” Jack asked carefully.

I snorted. “Not at all.”

“What happened?”

“I stabbed her in the neck with a pencil. A number two pencil, if I remember right.”

“Any particularly reason?”

“She gave me the creeps.”

“She gave you the creeps?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay, but what’s her deal exactly?”

“She thinks she’s a witch.”

“A witch? Really?”

“Oh, she’s not—that’s just what she always thought,” I explained. “You know how I hate all these things I can do? Well, she wasn’t like that. She has abilities, too. She loved it, all of it. She totally embraced what she was, and still wanted to be more.”
