We made our way back to campus in silence, neither mentioning the strange event at the pools, nor Flynn’s declaration for me.

It had fallen dark by the time we returned to the dorms, though the night was clear, the stars bright in clusters above our heads.

Only after Flynn said goodnight and left me outside my dorm, did I realize I’d never had a chance to ask him about anything to do with swimming. I must be the worst reporter in the world, and Dana was surely never going to ask me to write her an article again. The second thing that dawned on me was that I hadn’t seen anything about Flynn when he’d grabbed me to pull me away from the pools.

I didn’t always get glimpses into people’s pasts and futures every time they touched me, but the number of times I’d not gotten anything from someone over the past few days was unusual.

I’d made out to Flynn that I was heading back to my room, but my head was spinning way too much to go to bed. I’d never been more awake. Though we must have walked several miles through the forests, I felt jittery and alert—as though I’d downed a couple of cups of coffee too many. Once again, I found myself wanting to avoid my room because I didn’t want to face Brooke. She was probably at a party or some other social, but I didn’t want to risk happening upon her and discovering the symbols on her skin hadn’t faded over the day. I wondered what they’d been drawn in—obviously not pen or chalk, as other people and Brooke herself would have been able to see them. Maybe some kind of sap my vision could pick up on? Or maybe I’d been able to pick up on some kind of psychic trace where someone had simply marked the shapes out on her skin with their finger. Perhaps they didn’t exist at all. I’d simply seen a trace of where someone else’s energy had touched her skin.

I waited until I was sure Flynn was well out of the way, and then headed down toward the car lot. Did I want to drive? No, not tonight, I needed to burn off some energy. I wondered when I would get my old car back. It had been a few days now and I’d not heard anything. The garage said it would be a while to get the parts in—seemed they didn’t keep many parts for an Audi around here.

Pocketing my keys, I started to walk. This time I stayed on the main road, heading down toward the beach. I told myself I was avoiding the forest, but the truth was that every step took me closer to Riley and the darkened carnival.

Full headlights blazed in the road ahead, making me squint and lift my hand to cover my eyes. The car was going too fast, and I stepped away from the curb, sure this was a gang of guys out joyriding, probably with a few beers already consumed.
