@@@@@That I was all alone in my austere kitchen, @@@@@That I was all alone in my austere kitchen, staring out the window into the little patch of night sky, at the three bright stars I could see through it Well, as alone as I ever was While I stared at the tiny points of light in the blackness, the lines that I'd seen over and over again–in my dreams and in my broken memories, cropping up at strange, unrelated moments–flashed through my head The first: a slow, rough curve, then a sharp turn north, another sharp turn back the other way, twisting back to the north for a longer stretch, and then the abrupt southern decline that flattened out into another shallow curve The second: a ragged zigzag, four tight switchbacks, the fifth point strangely blunt, like it was broken… The third: a smooth wave, interrupted by a sudden spur that swung a thin, long finger out to the north and back Incomprehensible, seemingly meaninglessBut I knew this was important to MelanieFrom the very beginning I'd known thatShe protected this secret more fiercely than any other, next to the boy, her brotherI'd had no idea of his existence before the dream last nightI wondered what it was that had broken herMaybe as she grew louder in my head, she would lose more of her secrets to me Maybe she would slip up, and I would see what these strange lines meantI knew they meant somethingThat they led somewhere And at that moment, with the echo of the Seeker's laugh still hanging in the air, I suddenly realized why they were so important They led back to Jared, of courseBack to both of them, Jared and JamieWhere else? What other location could possibly hold any meaning for her?

@@@@@While, all the time, the music
was
playing @@@@@While, all the time, the music was playing and earlier arrivals were dancing, and Scarlett's feet were itching to danceIn Georgia, she thought impatiently, the people giving the party come forward to meet their guestsThey don't keep them waiting in line like a chain gang It's a sight more welcoming than this foolishnessJust before she followed MrsButler into the room, a dignified manservant offered her a trayA pile of folded papers was on it, little booklets held together by thin blue twine with a tiny pencil hanging from it Dance cards? They must be dance cardsScarlett had heard Mammy talk about balls in Savannah when Ellen O 'Hara was a girl, but she'd never quite believed that parties were so peaceful that a girl looked in a book to see who she was supposed to dance with Why, the Tarleton twins and the Fontaine boys would have split their britches laughing if anyone told them they had to write their names on a tiny piece of paper with a little pencil so dinky that it would break in a real man's fingers! She wasn't even sure she wanted to dance with the kind of pantywaist who'd be willing to do thatYes, she was! She was sure she'd dance with the devil himself, horns and tail and all, just to be able to danceIt seemed like ten years, not one, since the Masquerade Ball in Atlanta"I'm so happy to be here," said Scarlett to Minnie Wentworth, and her voice throbbed with sincerityShe smiled at all the other Wentworths, each in turn, and then she was through the lineShe turned toward the dancing, her feet already moving in time to the music, and she drew in her breathOh, it was so beautiful-so strange and yet so familiar, like a dream she only half-remembered The candlelit room was alive with music, with the colors and rustling of whirling skirtsAlong the walls dowagers were sitting in fragile gold-painted chairs just as they always had, whispering behind their fans to one another about the things they had always whispered about: the young people who were dancing too close together, the latest horror story of someone's daughter's prolonged childbirth, the newest scandal about their dearest friendsWaiters in full-dress suits moved from group to group of men and women who weren't dancing with silver trays of filled glasses and frosted silver julep cupsThere was a hum of blended voices, punctuated by laughter, high and deep, the age-old beloved noise of fortunate light-hearted people enjoying themselves It was as if the old world, the beautiful carefree world of her youth, still existed, as if nothing was changed, and there had never been a WarHer sharp eyes could see the scabby paint on the walls and the spur-gouges in the floor under the layers of wax, but she refused to noticeBetter to enter the illusion, to forget the War and the Yankee patrols on the street outsideThere was music and there was dancing and Rhett had promised to be niceNothing more was need | | Tuesday, December 7th, 2010 | | 10:34 am |

It wasn't so much a lie as it was an @@@@@ It wasn't so much a lie as it was an unfinished sentenceI couldn't give her more than that–and stay alive myself The actual lie had been given to JaredI'd told him, just seconds later, that I didn't know how to make myself not existIn the context of our discussion, it was trueI didn't know how to fade away, here inside MelanieBut I was surprised I hadn't heard the obvious lie right then, hadn't seen in that moment what I was seeing nowOf course I knew how to make myself not exist It was just that I had never considered that option viable, ultimate betrayal that it was to every soul on this planet Once the humans knew that I had this answer, the one they had murdered for over and over again, it would cost me No, Wanda! Don't you want to be free? A long pause I wouldn't ask you for this,she finally saidnd I wouldn't do it for youAnd I sure as hell wouldn't do it for the Seeker! You don't have to askI think I might have volunteered… eventually Why do you think that?she demanded, her tone close to a sobI expected her to be elated In part because of themI can give them the whole world, everything they want probably would have realized that… somedayWho knows?
