Chapters 9-10

Chapter 9 starts off with a shocking discovery. Petra almost drowns in a river, and she inadvertently forces all the mind reading people to come save her. It turns out that Petra can send communicate telepathically too, just much more powerfully than anyone else. I think that since more people are being born with this ability eventually everyone will be able to communicate like them. I also think that Petra being able to control everyone will lead to them all being found out. Chapter 10 begins with a wedding announcement, Anne wants to marry Alan Ervin, the brotha who found out Sophie was a mutant. David and his merry band of telepaths try to convince her to cancel. Anne is way out of his league and he is a puritanical prick. Long story short, they marry, Alan gets killed, Anne no happy, Anne takes a dirt nap, Anne leaves a suicide note exposing David and his merry band of telepaths, and Anne's sister Rachel burns the note. It is very fortunate that Rachel found the note in time to burn it, and i think that that saved them from having to run away immediately. I still think they will have to run away soon. I think this situation is similar to when the Jews were hiding from Nazis and had to lie about their identities.
