The Other Side of the Story

I kept waiting for the scurry of activity in the house that would herald either an invasion from Aiden and Derek, the elders arriving, or something going wrong with Nathanial. It seemed incredible when the day passed with… nothing.

I sat on the bed or next to it all day, talking to the Light, watching Chase sleep and dying to know what was going on. The only update I had was from Jerry saying they'd tried to ask Nathanial a couple questions at one point when he was blinking and seemed to come out of it. But he'd just falling back into whatever state he'd been in before, and no one was the wiser.

I considered waking Chase, but he was sleeping so deeply. Surely if there was something he would have told me? But there had to be something important to have taken them there this morning!
