Chapter ２７

"What's up?"  David sighs, and suddenly everything appears to slow down. David tickles my brow. Suddenly, I feel calm, but David takes his lips away.

"She must have changed when she was marked. I'll figure it out later."

David squeaks out of Hunter and my sister Neme's room.

I dash downstairs,Jessica is watching me from the doorway, her eyebrows pinched in uncertainty.

Then David advised me to remain down stairs.

"Neme’s shifted." I pant.

Unbelievably, Jessica's eyes widen . "Neme? But-"

Jessica regains control

Jessica braves the cold as we walk through a snowstorm. I can hardly hear Jessica above the wind, but I can hear her mumbles as she pushes through it.

"Nearly there!" Jessica yells as she looks back at me.

I attempt to glance around but the snow and wind make it hard. The wind is so fierce that it hurts my exposed skin. The cold already makes my spine tremble and my teeth rattle.
