Helanie:
"Gather everything you can so the fire gets stronger," I told Jenny and Lucy.
Penn was out in the backyard fighting the zharns and the monsters, along with Lamar and Gavin.
They were shocked when they saw me, but they were all happy. I hadn't come across Kaye and Norman yet. I didn't know where they were.
Lucy gave me a nod and grabbed the sheets from the guest room, carrying them outside to start a quick fire. Emmet and Maximus were fighting the monsters, keeping them away from the garden where we were building the fire.
The weather had turned so bad we worried it would be hard to get the fire going, or even to start it. It had started to rain, with thunder and everything.
I held my phone and dialed Kaye's number.
"Hello?" Kaye answered, almost instantly.
"Kaye!" His name was all I could utter before worrying for him.
"Helanie?" he said, sounding shocked. "You're back?" he asked, and I grinned wide with tears in my eyes.
