Chapter 2.
"ETHAN WATE GET YOUR SORRY BEHIND IN MY KITCHEN NOW!" Amma yelled. My eyes shot open and I jumped out of bed.
She knows, oh my god she knows! Thoughts raced through my mind as I raced down the stairs pulling a t-shirt over my head. Stop being stupid Ethan how would she? Oh great now you're talking to your self, shut up stupid!
"Yes Amma?" I asked sitting down at the table.
"Ethan don't you think I know what you've been doing with Lena Duchannes! I know what you're up to and it better stop." She slammed a bowl of cereal down in front of me my hands reached out for the spoon, they were shaking.
"You better stop sneaking out or I swear I'll kick you out of this house!" Of course! Relief washed over me and I sank into the chair.
"Sorry, Amma, it wont happen again I promise." I smiled at her.
"It better not, now get going or you'll be late for school...again." She snapped. I grabbed my bag and headed out the door, i jumped into the passenger seat of Links car.
"So?" He asked raising an eyebrow. I looked at him quizzically.
"So what?" I asked confused.
"So what's wrong with Lena?" He asked as if it was the most obvious question.
I shot him a look. "What the hell are you talking about" I asked as he pulled out of the driveway.
"Ridley told me that Lenas been puking all morning." I felt the colour drain from my face. "You didn't knock her up did you?" He said laughing, he turned to look at me, his face dropped. "Oh no man." he shook his head "You didn't did you? Please tell me you didnt."
"No I didn't, don't worry man, I'm sure it's just a bug." I laughed it off, he wasn't fooled.
"Ethan?" He asked, I buried my face in my hands. "Oh shit." He said.
"We had another vision." I said "but this time it was a flash-forward..." I trailed off. "The point is, we're not sure, we didn't really talk about it."
"Whatever man, just keep your mouth shut, you do NOT want the whole school on your case." He pulled into the school parking lot. I got out the car, Ridley was leaning against a post sucking on her red lollipop. She narrowed her eyes at me as I walked past.
Fifth period we had English and Lena wasn't there.
"Kate have you seen Lena?" I asked, Kate and Lena talked sometimes so hopefully she'd have some idea where Lena was.
She opened her mouth to speak but closed it as Lena sat down between us and pulled out her copy of How to Kill a Mocking Bird, Mrs English shot her a look.
"Sorry I'm late" Lena mumbled she leaned her head on her hand and placed the other one on her knee, she was shaking. I reached out and took her hand under the desk.
L? Yes Ethan? Are you okay? No.
A tear dripped onto her book.
Lena, you should go home. Ethan its last period there's no point, Macon will know something's wrong. If you're sure. I am.
"Right class, you can pack up now." Mrs English announced. I shoved my books in my bag and stood up, Lena pushed her chair back and stood up, she leaned over the desk, her hair hung in her face.
"Ethan?" She whispered. "Help me?" I wrapped an arm round her waist and grabbed her bag, we headed for the door. I rummaged in her bag for her car keys and pulled them out, we got to her car and I put her in the passenger seat then went round to the drivers side.
"Ethan we need to tell Amma" She said. I swallowed, I knew this was coming.
"I know." I said. The rest of the journey was silent.
I unlocked the door stepped inside and helped Lena into a kitchen chair.
"Amma?" I shouted.
"What?" She asked entering the kitchen.
"Can you sit down please?" I asked. She shut the door and sat opposite Lena.
"Ethan Wate you better explain yourself right this instant." She said.
"I..erm...well..." I looked at Lena for help.
"Amma we had another vision..." It started raining outside. "I think...whats the chance of a caster having a mortals child?"
