Ellis
Age seven
Earnshaw Estate
Dallas, Texas
“HE’S WEIRD.”
I gripped my doll in my hand as I stared at Heathan James sitting on the
grass. He was dressed all in black—black shirt, black pants . . . and strangely,
a black vest with pockets. I’d never seen anyone but a grown-up wear one of
those before. His hair was black—short at the sides but long on the top. It
kept falling into his eyes. His eyes that looked silver in the path of the sun.
They were actually light gray. I’d never seen that color in a person’s eyes
before.
“Ellis.” Eddie pulled on my arm. I yanked it out of his grip.
“He’s new. And he doesn’t know anyone.” I leaned in close to Eddie, my
best friend and next-door neighbor. His Stetson shielded his eyes. He always
wore a Stetson. Said he wanted to be a Texas Ranger one day like his uncle. I
thought he’d make a good one. “I heard my papa talking to my uncles last
night. I snuck out of my room and listened at Papa’s office door. I heard him
say Heathan’s mummy didn’t want him anymore. Said he scared her. So she
gave him to his papa—Mr. James, the grounds keeper.” I shook my head. “I
heard he didn’t want him either but had no choice. His mummy’s nowhere to
be found. She ran away and left him all alone.”
Eddie’s blue eyes widened. “His mama gave him away? What did he do
to scare her?” I looked back across the grass at Heathan. He had a magnifying
glass in his hands. He was burning ants. I shrugged in answer to Eddie’s
question. I didn’t know what he’d done.
“He doesn’t look much scary to me,” I declared, studying him hard. “I
think he’s older than us. I heard one of my uncles say he’s already nine.”
Eddie was eight. I was seven.
“When you met him yesterday, he was killing a butterfly.” Eddie looked
over his shoulder at Heathan. “He’s killing ants right now. He’s really weird,
Ellis. Why does he keep killing things?” He paused. “I think he’s too strange
to be friends with.” He took a deep breath. “My uncle says to stay away from
kids like him. That they’re the ones who will end up getting you in trouble
one day. You know I can’t get into trouble if I want to be a Texas Ranger.”
