?Aunt Maggie, Jared, and Ian,? Jeb listed off in a bored voiceWe both jumped at the sound
Jeb hadn't moved, and his eyes were still closedHe looked so peaceful, as if he had answered
Jamie's question in his sleep
Jamie waited for a moment, then turned back to me with the same intense expression
?You're not Melanie, but you know all her memories and stuff, right??
I nodded again
?Do you know who I am??
I tried to swallow the words, but they slipped through my lips I couldn't help
how my voice wrapped around the name like a caress
He blinked, startled that I had broken my silence?Right,? he whispered back
We both looked at Jeb, who remained still, and back at each other
?Then you remember what happened to her?? he asked
I winced, and then nodded slowly
?I want to know,? he whispered
?I want to know,? Jamie repeated
?It's not? pleasant,? I breathed, unable to stop myselfIt was very hard to deny this boy what
he wanted
His straight black eyebrows pulled together and up in the middle over his wide eyes?Please,?
he whisperedI thought that maybe he was peeking from between his lashes now, but I
couldn't be sure
My voice was soft as breathing?Someone saw her go into a place that was off-limitsThey
knew something was wrongThey called the Seekers
He flinched at the tit
