I felt hollow. Pearson Prep had been blown to pieces. Why was it only occurring to me now? I'd seen the student body gathering on the back field during our escape, but for anyone who didn't make it out in time... They were dead. Because someone was after me.
Delilah was at Brandon's throat again, making some effort it seemed not to scream again. "How could you let this happen?"
"We were out of the building and on our way into the woods before I realized they had explosives on them." Brandon defended himself in the same hushed tone.
"You underestimated them?" she asked, incredulously. "You broke campus policy, lied to us, and came all the way down here to underestimate what they're capable of?"
"Will you two just stop?" Sting cut in with conviction. "Can't you see she's scared to death? She has no idea what's going on!" He turned to me. I moved away. I looked from face to face, reality setting in. I didn't know where I was and I was surrounded by... aliens?
When Brandon began to speak up again, Delilah cut him off.
"You've done enough today," she told him, "Let me explain." She took a deep breath and proceeded to tell me the truth that would change my life forever.
