That night, Hope desperately tried to fall asleep. Landon was sound asleep next to her, but Hope tossed and turned. It seemed like every time she almost dozed off, something tickled her face or her ear or her throat. Finally, as she rubbed her nose for what felt like the hundredth time, she sat up and slipped out of bed and into the hallway.
She walked all the way out to the backwoods, far away from the school, and let out all the rage and the grief she had let build up with the competition and Josie Saltzman and disappearing girls. By the time she was done, her scream had become a howl and she stood on all fours.
Just when she was starting to feel her mind clear, she spotted the wiggling slug in the dirt. Horrified, she turned back immediately, grabbing her discarded boot and squishing the thing.
She threw her clothes back on and scooped the slug into her hands, rushing back to the school.
