“Hi!” I called back. Then I glanced down at the boy.
“Hey,” I said in my sing-song voice solely reserved for children or animals.
Both
Mrs. Kelley and Isaac gave me a funny look, but the boy just kept glowering. I
shook my head and followed Isaac up the walkway.
“What was that about?” Isaac asked when we got inside
the house.
“What?”
“The way you said hi to your neighbor and then started
looking in another direction and said hi again in a weird voice.”
“Oh.” I smiled. “That’s just how I talk to kids.”
“Why did you do it right now though?” His brows
furrowed in a look of utter confusion.
I
was starting to get annoyed with this line of questioning. Can’t I say hi to a
neighbor boy without getting the third degree? So what if I use an odd voice
when talking to kids. Lots of people do. “Cause I was saying hi to the little
boy.”
“What little boy?”
Cold
slithered up my spine at Isaac’s tone. “The boy sitting next to Mrs. Kelley in
the front yard.”
“There was no boy with her.”
I
flung open the front door and raced outside, my heart thumping in my chest. Was
I going crazy? I was sure I saw a little boy.
Relief
flooded me at the sight of the child still sitting in the grass. I gave Isaac a
triumphant look. “See. Right there.”
Isaac
narrowed his eyes, staring in the direction I pointed. I expected an apology.
Instead, he said, “Are you okay?”
“Fine. Why are you acting so weird?”
“Because there is no little boy there.”
A
chill brushed over my body, causing goosebumps to rise on my flesh. I glanced
back at Mrs. Kelley who kept weeding, oblivious to our conversation. She also
seemed not to notice the child, even though he practically sat on her legs. The
boy’s neck craned to look at me, but he still didn’t smile.
Fearful,
I raced back in my house. Why did I see him if no one else did? Who was he? And
what was he doing next door?

Armed with a new weapon and the boy she loves by her side, Mackenzie prepares to fight. She doesn’t realize that she is about to step into the ultimate battle between good and evil, where the stakes are higher than ever before.
