Chapter 35: CHAPTER 35: Pella Part 2

　　Sitting there for a while longer as I ponder what just took place, I find myself doubting everything that I have learned so far. So, as I try to get my mind off it by glancing around the room and watching as everyone seems to be enjoying themselves, I realize that there is something horribly wrong with this picture. When I am not looking directly at someone, they are staring at me with a blank look in their eyes.

　　They aren’t really chatting. They are just making noise while their mouths move. A constant murmur surrounds me, and I realize that it is all just a clever disguise.

　　Shaking my head, I think back to everything that has happened, and the conversation with the man. “Did he say anything out of place?” I whisper so no one else can hear as a tingle spreads up my spine.
