Twinfinity: Onyx Ravens (11)

Chapter 10

Burying the Past

∞

Whitney sat on her bed, alone, quiet and in her dark and silent world, contemplating what to do next, fingers dancing in her old familiar way, pinky, ring, index, middle, while she contemplated the move she was about to make.

For some inexplicable reason, that Whitney could not explain, nor could she fathom; Decker had taken the blame for what she had done. At first she had contemplated telling Tommy the truth. The idea of allowing Decker to take responsibility for killing Cree had seemed almost as bad to her as doing it had been. But as the police began to arrive, and the questions began to come, everything seemed to play out on its own. Everyone seemed to just accept that Decker had killed Cree and everyone in the clearing was pointing their fingers at him. It wasn’t just Decker that was saying that Decker killed Cree, everyone was.

There was a part of Whitney that wanted to believe them. There was a part of Whitney that was so horrified by her actions and wanted to believe what they were saying so badly, that she kept the truth to herself.

But it was more than just that.

She was still very much aware, and she was very much aware of a lot of different things. Whitney still wasn’t privy to all of the facts that were involved. The exact truth to her situation was still a little beyond her grasp, but she knew that there was much more to her and Tommy’s situation than they were previously aware of.

The first of which was that she and Tommy were not from this world.

On the surface that realization seemed crazy to her. But that sense of danger, being in a life and death situation, had awakened something in her.
