Chapter 2
Danny's Story

The first thing Jade did when she woke up was to get dressed. It was going to be a long
day, she just knew it.

"I wonder how Danny will answer my questions. He doesn't have to answer them, does he?"
Jade said to the girl in the mirror. Of course, the girl never answered her question, she
never would or never will.

"Well, best I get dressed and see what he'll say then sitting around waiting for you to
answer them."

Picking out her outfit for the day was always the hardest thing to do. Her brother was
finding little outfits that would look good on her but there always seemed to be so many
of them and they were all perfect.

Finally deciding on a black skirt, a low, v-neck red shirt and black knee-high boots,
Jade was ready put on some make-up. Picking out the lightest colors, she then perpared to
fix up her hair.

Jade's dirty-blond hair was always easy to fix. She usually just left it down and today
was going to be one of those days.

Then Jade went down to the kicten. Danny was already there.

"Hey Danny! How are you this morning?"

"Not bad. How are you?"

"Good. Danny..mmmhhh..What happened in Gatlin?"

"What?"

"Gatlin. What happened there?"

Okay, Jade thought, the dierct approuch didn't work so well.

"Why do you want to know?" Danny wasn't sure if he like where this was going. He didn't
like talking about Gatlin. It just didn't go over well with him.

"Well, I got a visit last night from a boy named Micah. He told me to ask you about
Gatlin."

Danny entered a state of shock even before she finshed the saying her statement. Micah?
It wasn't possible. Micah was dead and has been for years. Why now and why his baby sister?

"He wants me to tell you what happened in Gatlin? Why didn't he just tell you himself?"

"I don't know. Probably not enough time"

It was at this moment the family cat, Dawg, came bolting in from the living room. Going
from carpet to linoleum, of course, he started slipping and sliding to his food dish. When
he finally stopped spinning around, Dawg looked up at Jade with a face that clearly stated,
"What the hell just happened here? If you tell anyone, I'll claw at you with my back claws,
since you took away my front ones, you meanie! Now where's MY SOFT FOOD???"

Grinning slightly, Jade gave Dawg a pat and put some food into his dish. He then looked
up at Jade with a look that said "I hope Danny didn't see you giving me that food. I'll
get more food out of you!"

Too bad for the cat because Danny saw Jade feeding him.

Danny then sat down at the table and motioned for Jade to do the same.

"What happened in Gatlin was probably the worst thing I've ever seen in my life."

"I first went there when word got out that the children there had murdered their parents
in cold blood. Those were the rumors anyways. They weren't true. the kids didn't do it out
of cold blood. They did it because they were told to. Isaac Croner was the first leader.
After the parents had died, the children started following the corn. The children were
just mislead. They prayed to He Who Walks Behind the Rows but I don't know that much about
him. After Isaac died, the children were bused off to the near by town of Hemmingford.
Soon after more murders start to happen. This time the leader was Micah Balding. He was
staying with Mom. I first met Micah when Dad and I were looking for a place to stay.
He was a very quiet kid. Didn't have much to say. At first I thought that Micah was a
little weird but I was going to stay away from him.

"Our first converstation we had aalone wasn't a very exciting one. I would start saying
something or ask him a question and all he would do was answer with short, one word
answer."

Danny paused for a moment. Jade didn't know how to respond to what Danny was telling
her. Jade then thought of what Micah had looked like and how he answered her
questions. What Jade wanted to know about was who was this He Who Walks Behind the Rows.
But Danny couldn't answer that question.

"What happened in Hemmingford was terrible. I don't want to tell you about it. I don't
like talking about what happened or the decisions I made. That's all I know. Now I want
to know why you asked about this."

"The dream I had involved your friend Micah and a little red-haired girl. Micah said
that this group, I guess, is happening again. Only he called it a cult. He said that I
was the only one that could stop them."

"Well, I don't like the fact that they are trying to get you to do this. I wwould like
it if you don't go. But it's your decision."

Jade was shocked. Danny never did this before. But he was right. It was her decision.
It was time for her to make it.

"I want to go and help this sprit. That's what I want to do."

"Alright. Alright."
