Chapter 13:

(Rosalie P.O.V)

Going back to a place where James and I been attacked. A place filled horrible memories. Trying to forget all that as I sit down on the carpet by Mrs. Story's rocking chair. Reading a story about...about...about something. I haven't really been paying attention. Too worried about James who is sitting next to me. Also not really listening to the story.

Why do I have to come back to school after what happened?

I'm glad my dad isn't leaving to Russia!

My best friend and I are bonded for life!

Reading his thoughts as they flow into my mind.

"Do you like green eggs and ham?" Mrs. Story read out loud. "Would you eat them in a box? Would eat them with a fox?"

Why would you want to eat green eggs and ham? Gross!

People who eat green eggs and ham are gross!

I couldn't agree with you more James.

Just three more hours until we get to go home. Kindergartners get out of at noon while the second through fifth grade kids stay until two-thirty.

"Could you, would you with a goat?"

Really, a goat?! No wonder my mommy hated kindergartener. They're treating us little babies! Three more hours, Rosalie. Three more hours.

(James P.O.V)

After three hours of listening to Mrs. Story read about green eggs and ham, it's time to go home. Packing all my stuff into my backpack, I find Rosie. Walking out to the bus with the other kids. Riding by the window with my best friend beside me, looking at all the trees, cars and buildings outside.

Turning to Rosalie, I asked, "do you ever think about what happened?"

I didn't need to explain to her, she got it.

"All the time," she answered, looking at me.

"Are you scared?"

"A little."

"Me too," I said.

"I know," Rosie conformed.

I'm more scared about Rosalie's life than mine.

"Do you think those men will try to hurt us again?" I asked, keeping my voice low.

"It's hard to tell," she answered. "I don't who are they are or who they're working for."

"Did the guardians catch them all?"

I know I'm asking a lot questions, but I can't help not knowing who those men are.

"James, I wish I had all the answers, but I don't. I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

The rest of ride home was silent between Rosalie and me.

(Rosalie P.O.V)

Feeling bad that I didn't have all the answers to James' questions. Maybe I could my parents when I get home. They might have to answers. I hope so!

Wishing I could tell James about my mommy being pregnant and me having an other sibling, but I can't. My parents want it to be a secret.

The bus stopped in motion, opening it's door for all the kids. Seeing my daddy standing next James' daddy. Running as fast as I could. Jumping into his arms, I hugged my daddy tightly.

"I missed you," I told him.

"I missed you too, princess," he said.

Daddy carried me all the way to our apartment. I told him how Mrs. Story read us a book about eating green eggs and ham and how gross that is. Scrunching up my face just thinking about them.

Unlocking the door and stepping inside, daddy set me on the ground. Seeing mommy reading a magazine and Tyler playing with his toys by her feet.

"Hi, mommy," I said, hugging her.

"Hi, sweetie. How was school?" she asked, smiling at me.

"Mrs. Story read us a book about green eggs and ham," I told her.

"That's gross," she replied, scrunching up her face like I did.

"That's what I said!" I exclaimed.

Both mommy and daddy laughed as they hugged me.
