Chapter Two
Crazy. Yes, that's how I would explain my life ever since I moved here to Maryland. Why couldn't we just have moved to New York, and I'll just get mugged instead? Or hot Florida so I could get a sunburn. Or---for heaven's sake---move to Alaska so I could swim with the Polar Bears!
But no.
We had to move here. And I had to meet Will.
And I had to kill Jessica.
Just to save the world.
Yup. Just a typical day at Avalon High.
Yeah, Right.
I walked away from Mr. Morton, mystified at what he told me to do.
"I won't do that, Mr. Morton. You know me." I told him.
"Then, what are we talking about here, Elaine? You want my help or not?"
"Yeah, I want your help but---"
"Then, listen to me!" he yelled. Then he went over to a glass case where I could see it...Yup. You know what. He handed it to me. "Remember this?"
"Unfortunately." I told him, taking the sword.
"It may or may not help you. I don't know. But take it."
Wow. What a great promise.
