It was raining again. It had rained every day for the last three weeks, and
Eleanor was starting to wonder if she should invest in an ark. She
clumped along the muddy trail. At least she had a good pair of rubber boots,
and it wasn’t far to Pip’s house from school.
She’d had to stay late so she could go to her Yearbook Club meeting. She
had to go to her Yearbook Club meeting because normal kids did
extracurricular activities, and those extracurricular activities didn’t include
“searching for Wrong Things” or “researching ways to break curses” or
even “cataloging the magical artifacts hidden in a secret room behind the
fireplace in your family’s spooky old mansion.”
When she’d come to Eden Eld, Eleanor had wanted more than anything
for people to think she was normal. She didn’t want to be known as the girl
who saw things that weren’t there, or the girl whose mother had burned
their house down, or the girl who lived in the creepy old mansion at the
edge of town. She just wanted to be Normal Eleanor.
But then she’d met Pip and Otto, and found out that the strange things
she saw were real after all. Pip and Otto called them the Wrong Things, and
they were all over Eden Eld. The next few days had been a blur of terror
and excitement as they discovered that the three of them were at the center
of a curse that had been stealing kids for over a century. By the end of it,
Eleanor didn’t care about being normal quite so much. But she did care
about Aunt Jenny and Uncle Ben being worried about her. So she went to
Yearbook Club and she did her homework and she told them everything
was great.
And she definitely didn’t mention that there was a trio of magical
siblings called the People Who Look Away, led by the wicked Mr. January,
trying to kidnap her and her friends to use in their evil ritual.
Eleanor and her friends met up after school whenever they could to
research more about the Wrong Things and the People Who Look Away, in
the hopes of finding something that could save them. Pip and Otto had
offered to wait for her to finish with Yearbook Club, but she’d told them to
go on ahead without her. She’d meet them at Pip’s house.
Which was why she was alone in the rapidly darkening woods when the
rain started to glow.
It started as a faint glimmer that Eleanor almost dismissed as a trick of
the light, but as the rain got steadier, so did the glow. A droplet splashed
against the back of her hand and ran shimmering down to the cuff of her
jacket.
Her skin prickled. Eden Eld was full of strange things. Most of them
wouldn’t hurt you, if you stayed away. But some of them were hungry, or
angry, or just dangerous the way a cliff is dangerous—it doesn’t want you
to fall, but that doesn’t make landing hurt less.
She picked up her pace. It wasn’t far to Pip’s house. She could handle a
little glowing rain.
