The heavy clouds, the pounding rain, and the black snake coiled around the tombstone, its green eyes locked onto me.

I sprang from the bed, pain shooting through my knees.

I couldn't help but gasp quietly.

Looking around, I realized I was in the same room as before, a sense of disappointment settling in.

Of course, Carter couldn't have found me so quickly.

The room had been tidied up, the unpleasant smell replaced with the fresh scent of clean sheets.

I had been kneeling in the cemetery for ten long hours. My knee had been treated-ointment slathered on it and wrapped in gauze.

It was night now. The room was dark, and the rain slammed against the windows in a constant, sharp crackle. The wind howled outside, and the waves roared against the shore.

It felt like some wild beast was trying to tear the world apart.

I sat on the bed, pulling my legs up to my chest. The feud between the Sanders and the Carlyns was no longer a mystery.

The Carlyns had suffered, but hadn't the Sanders, too?

My body had been torn apart. Ethan and Jake had died without ever knowing why, or who they had. wronged.

Whitney hadn't died, though. She lived, enduring endless suffering and torment.

The grudges between the two families were knotted together, tangled in a way that couldn't be undone..

I had thought I was free of the Sanders, but here I was pulled back into it.

It had been two days and a night. What was happening with Carter?

I eased myself off the bed, wincing as pain flared in my knee. The ointment had helped, but the moment I put weight on it, the pain flared up again.

1 limped over to the window, each step sending jolts of pain through my leg.

Outside, the ocean-stretched out, dark and ominous.

The sky was thick with clouds, and a flash of lightning cut through the air, illuminating the world for a split second.
