Alright, people. You asked. Here's your new chapter! But guys...I really don't have that much of a game plan for this story. I'm basically pulling ideas out of thin air here. But anyways, here's your new chapter. Enjoy! ~Megan

A flash of blinding light filled the room, and oddly...it seemed green. A second later, the lights flickered on, leaving everyone confused. I looked around, my brow creasing. What in the hell was up with this town?

*Kat*

I closed the door behind me, dropping my bookbag to the floor as I turned to the mirror on the wall of the entry way. A pale face, tousled hair, a bleeding lip, and glowing eyes stared back at me. Looking away from the mirror, I snatched up my bag and ran up the steps, throwing it in my room as I walked into the bathroom. I stripped off my jacket, leaving me in just my tank top, jeans, and boots. I wet a wash cloth, bringing it to my lip. I winced as I touched the cool, wet fabric to my lip. I slowly wiped the fabric across the cut, wiping off the dry blood. When I was done, I tossed it in the sink. Pulling on sore muscles, I slid down the cabinets, bringing my knees up to my chest. I rested my forehead on them, blowing out a breath. What in the hell had just happened back there? And why?

Ash stormed through the front door, in front of me in an instant.

"Want to explain to me what in the hell just happened back there?"

My wounds were already healed, my dirty clothes gone. But none of that mattered, anyway. She'd been able to sense when is used the source. Any Luxen, Arum, or DODD agent could. I expected the rest of the Thompson clan to show up here within 10 minutes. "Relax, Ash." I said, pulling my PJ shorts back down as I stood. Even Luxen powers couldn't stop them from scrunching up, it seemed.

"Nothing to worry about."

"Nothing to worry about? Are you kidding me, Katy?"

I glanced at the clock and then at Andrew, rolling my eyes. 10 minutes. On the dot.

"Guys, I've got this. If I say there's nothing to worry about, then there is nothing to worry about. Calm the hell down."

"Language, Katy." Matthew said, joining the let's-all-attack-Kat group.

"Okay, listen. I found an Arum in the woods. I don't know why it was here, but I'm on it. Okay?"

Zoning any response I may have gotten, I let a breath out slowly, thinking of our brand new neighbors.

I absolutely knew why the Arum had been here.
