For her part, Mae see a massive iht, not enough for Jane to coh where she could almost pass for someone that wasn’t anorexic

The wound on her neck had healed, leaving a led scar Vampire bites usually don’t leave scars or h, it’s going to scar Eventually, her father would probably have to pay for soery to fix that, but for now, even she wasn’t whining about it

I felt weirded out watching the three of theetting along I could understand, but I had never iined that Milo and Jane could really enjoy each other

One of the positive side effects fro so rown more i over herself to be with Milo or Jack or Ezra the way she would’ve been before, although she did see rooged in theroom with a sketch pad on his lap and stared up at the television intently This was the first ti the new flat screen, other than the dog Instead of watching soot the most out of the HD, Bobby had the TV on CNN

I assu to seelasses that I had never seen him wear before On closer inspection, I saw a fairly nasty black eye froht the other day, and he tried to s He had another smaller bruise on his chin, but the worst of them were hidden under his shirt on his chest and abdo?" I flopped back on the couch The neasn’tthe re-i room

"Anderson 360," Bobby replied absently "It’s for school"

"How is it for school?" I raised an eyebrow "And I didn’t think you still went to school"

"I go to school during the day, when you’re sleeping A whole lot of things happen during the day that you don’t even know about," Bobby said Still staring at the TV, he sketched furtively on the pad A box of charcoals lay next to him on the floor, and he had the sleeves pushed up in his shirt, so he was getting black se marks all over his tattoos "I’m supposed to watch the news for an hour and dra it makes me feel"

"How does itto an end" He didn’t sound that upset by it I sat up straighter, trying to see what he drew, but I was at the wrong angle to really see his sketch pad, so I flopped back on the couch

The TV, I could see, so I watched it to see what had Bobby worrying The screen had been divided into two boxes The s the story, which took place in the big box It showed a giant boat, like an ocean liner or a tanker, that appeared to have crashed into the shore The boat tilted to the side as helicopters and smaller boats swarmed around it The bottom of the screen said "Cape Spear, Newfoundland," but other than that, I didn’t really understand what I was looking at

"So what’s going on?" I asked Bobby

"An oil tanker crashed into Canada," Bobby nodded to the screen "The hull was ruptured, but hardly any of the oil leaked out They’re saying it’s a miracle, because if it had, it would’ve been like four tier"

"I don’t knohat that is" It sounded fa the context of the conversation, I should’ve gotten it

"It was an oil tanker that crashed by Alaska in 1989" Bobby glanced back at me "I didn’t really know that off the top ofabout it a lot"

"But there isn’t an oil spill, is there? Not really?" I squinted at the TV, trying to see a sheen on the water around the tanker "So what’s the big deal? How does that make you feel like the end of the world?"

"Because of why the tanker crashed" He stopped sketching and stared at the TV in kind of amazement "The whole crew died"

"What do you mean?" I sat up more "Like when they the hit land?"

"No, they were all dead before that Nobody was driving it, and they just crashed The radio transht, and they sent boats out to check up on theo, they lost all contact with theht into the island," Bobby nodded at the screen "It’s the creepiest, o to rescue that deserted ship or whatever But real"

"What are you talking about? How did the crew all die? Did they run out of food or oxygen or soen They’re on Earth You don’t run out of oxygen," Bobby rolled his eyes at me "But nobody knohy they’re dead Some of the crew is still unaccounted for, but both the lifeboats are still attached, so they don’t kno they could’ve gotten off

"Officials are trying to keep it under wraps, but ruory, horror movie stuff Throats ripped out and all that Anderson was talking to a guy that had been there, and he was just about puking talking about it"
