Chapter 3

First moon, first year,

The time has come that you all fear,

The girl has strength that will be shown,

The end will come in the stone.

What could it mean? I first heard it this morning as I was chatting to Link at breakfast. I was feeding Eve and giving him advice on dealing with Ridley.

"I don't know, Lena. Do you think I should ask her to be my girlfriend, like officially? Would she even say yes?"

"For a supernaturally evolved creature you can be extremely dumb sometimes, Wesley Lincoln. You know Ridley, if she didn't really fancy you, she would be going out with some loser."

"You're right, it's just that I don't know how to tell her. I mean, Rid, she's so confident with men she could twist any around her little finger." I notice Link anxiously fiddling with a ring as he desperately tried to think of something. That's it!

"Hey, I've got it. You should give her that." I point to the ring.

"What, you think I should propose? Mum would throw a fit."

"No, silly! I just meant you should give her some nice jewelry and write a note. Girls really dig that."

"Oh, thanks Lena! That's a really good idea, how about:

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

You're Third Degree Burns,

And I really love you?"

"I suppose that could work! Anyway, I gotta dash, I'm helping Marian at the Library today, with Liv."

"Okay, catcha later. The Linkubus has some toning to do."

I catch Link flexing his muscles in the mirror as I head towards the hearse parked outside.

As I pull away from the drive I hear the song again, only this time louder. I thought Ethan and I had escaped the Shadowing songs, bit it looked like they were still haunting us, and more worryingly Eve. It must be Amma sending the songs, it couldn't be Lila. A few weeks after Ethan came back to us that year, we saw another message in the crossword for the Stars and Stripes. I remember the day clearly.

"Hey, Ethan, look at this!"

"What is it L?"

"Another message."

"Let's have a look."

I pass the paper and study Ethan's face as he works it out.

"It's from Amma." He says. "M.A.T.E.R. Five down, as in your mother, Lila, Ethan Wate. T.R.A.N.S.I.T.I.O.N.E.D. Twelve across. As in, moved onto the next world. R.E.M.E.M.B.E.R. Seven across. As in never, ever forget her, Ethan. And finally A.F.F.E.C.T.I.O.N. Nine down. As in she loved you and always will."

It's OK, Ethan, she has moved onto a better place.

I just want to see her again.

I know, it's hard, but at least you did see her after her death.

I know.

I pulled Ethan into a tight hug, pressing his body against mine. I rub his back gently as he begins to cry, letting all the emotions he had kept bottled up for so long out.

Eve begins to wail and I sing to her, a song I remember Sarafine singing to me, before her emotions were fully lost to the dark.

'The moonlight shines all around me,

Reflecting in the room.

I catch a glimpse at you my dear,

And gone away are fears.

You bring light to life,

Heat to warm the room,

I will never let you go, dear,

So try and calm your tears.'

Eve stops crying and laughs. I laugh back and she claps her podgy hands together. I spot Savannah Snow walking down the road hand in hand with Emory. I used to feel pure loathing at her, from the way she bullied me at High School, but now I feel nothing. I am the one with the fiancée, the beautiful baby, and the biggest house. I have powers. And what does she have? A cheerleader's body, no use now High School is over and a boyfriend so dumb the only job he could get in Gatlin would be working at the Dar-ee-keen.

The library is deserted when I get there, apart from Ethan's ancient great-aunt Mercy huddled over one of the rusting computers. Looking at God knows what, I do not know, but this is the first time I have seen her use a computer since Aunt Prue passed on. I seem to remember one of the Sister's crazy schemes; taking in baby squirrels and feeding them with eye-droppers.

I push Eve's buggy through the quiet stacks of books until I reach the Archive. Inside Liv and Marian are talking in hushed voices. They look up when I walk in.

"Hey Lena. Have you heard the song?" I nod. At least it's not only me.

"First moon, first year…" I say.

"The time has come that you all fear. The girl has strength that will be shown, the end will come in the stone." They recite together.

"It's Eve, isn't it?"

Marian nods. "I'm sorry, Lena. But who else could it be?"

I sigh. "Is it Amma sending them?"

"It must be, now Lila is no longer there."
