Bab 228: Chapter 228: Of One Mind

THADDIE AND I JUMPED away from each other, our eyes wide as saucers.

"Shanna!" I breathed out in surprise. But her voice had faded away. "What the heck?" Once again, I'd lost my connection to her.

"Your eyes turned blue," said Thaddeus with surprise. "Does that happen often? Was that our sister?"

I pressed my lips together, frustrated that we'd been so close to talking to her. "Yes, it was Shanna. But she's gone now. Dang it."

He opened his mouth to say something else, but I beat him to it. "Wait. Did you just say my eyes turned blue?"

"Yes," he answered, looking at me strangely.

I thought my eyes had done that before, too, when I'd heard a strange voice. But at the time, I'd convinced myself that it was my imagination. Did this happen every time she talked to me? I held out my hands to Thaddeus, hoping that together we could bring her back. He looked at my outstretched arms with confusion.
