Chapter 1: Who's Alicia?
Emma caught up with Lysander during morning break, but unfortunately he was alone. Emma's heart dropped a bit when she saw that Tancred wasn't with him. "Hi Lysander, where's Tancred?" asked Emma trying to make it sound like she didn't care much.
"Tanc couldn't get much done during art class because he was distracted, so he went back to try to get as done as possible." Replied Lysander. Emma couldn't help but notice that Lysander looked pretty distracted himself. The two were quiet for a few moments. As Lysander frowned Emma could detect faint drumbeats. She looked at Lysander knowing he could practically read her mind.
"For some reason my ancestors don't seem too happy about Alicia coming to live with Tanc's family." Emma looked puzzled. "Who's Alicia?" Lysander looked up from the rock he'd been kicking around. "I guess we forgot to tell you and Liv. Even Benjamin knows."
"So who is Alicia?"
"Tanc's family decided to adopt her and they haven't even met her yet! They're bringing her home tomorrow."
"I wonder how she'll do at the Thunder House."
"That's what I was worried about, but I don't think that's what my ancestor's are angry about."
The hunting horn started to blow and all the kids started to troop inside.
