Chapter 10 Summary

In the introduction, two more indie kids disappear from their homes and are found dead several miles away. Satchel and her friends go into hiding, and Satchel, seeing a blue light in the night, goes out to find the boy from the amulet. He tells her that nothing is safe, and she should run.

After the incident with the cop, Mikey notices that the police are writing off the indie kid deaths as accidents. Mikey and Henna head to the drugstore where Mel works to get their prom photos printed. Henna and Mikey are flirtatious until a man named Erik Peddersen, who knew Teemu, comes up to Henna and tells her that something strange is happening. This sentiment is corroborated the next day by Tina, Mikey’s and Jared’s manager, who has found some online forums discussing the deaths of indie kids, people with blue eyes, and Immortals. Henna, Mel, and Meredith come in, which allows Mikey a moment to talk to Henna about their kiss and the fact that Henna would like to kiss him again, though she’s still not convinced that his “love” for her is more than an infatuation. When Mikey goes outside to take the trash out, he spies Nathan smoking a cigarette.
