Chapters 9 & 10

            In chapter 9, lots of things happened. While David was working in the fields, all of a sudden, there was a thought-shape that was like a command. He did not what he was doing, but he instantly dropped everything and ran towards it. He went thought the forest and dove into a river where he found Petra. She was drowning, but just in time, he had saved her. Rosalind had heard it, too, and met with David at the river. Everyone, afterward, had questioned the two how they knew. They lied saying that she was screaming really loudly. That night, David had the same dream about Sophie being killed, except it was Petra instead of Sophie. The next day, the gang tried to send thought-shapes to Petra, but nothing happened. She was able to send commands, but not regular thought shapes. Twenty years later, the crops are terrible and all that jazz, and they burn lots of crops, animals, and the like. After David speaks with a creepy old man about the matter, Anne announces she was getting married.

            Anne was getting married to the worst option possible: Alan, the blacksmith’s son. As a recap, he was the boy who blabbed about Sophie. She wouldn’t listen to the others’ advice and ignored them. As a result, she could no longer hear thought shapes. She married Alan and hey lived pretty happily with no slips. Later on, Alan is killed by an arrow. Anne is devastated and won’t talk to anyone. She suspects her telepathic friends, and hangs herself at one month pregnant. I think that Uncle Axel killed Alan. This is because he advises David to get rid of Anne, but David refused. Uncle Axel knew this would be a problem and tries to influence him. If there was a slip, they would all be dead. So he just killed Alan instead. The last sentence of this chapter is a bit freaky. Michael says, “One of us has been found not strong enough”

I think someone has finally found out…
