Noel’s Pendant spun between her legs, causing the light from the fire to reflect in flickers.
“What do you think the Pendants mean?” I rubbed my knees.
“It’s who we are supposed to be,” Thomas spoke. “Noel is supposed to lead. Enoch is supposed to protect us,” he illustrated.
I took a deep breath. “But what if it’s not?”
The teens went quiet. All focused on me.
“What do you mean? It’s the only logical answer.” Thomas almost seemed protective of his theory. “We needed to fly across the ocean; David is made our aviator. We needed someone to protect us; Enoch is made our protector. We find a code book; Jack is made our translator. What other answer could there be?”
“Then what about you?” I locked eyes with him. “Or James? What are you guys supposed to be.”
Thomas sighed. “Then what do you think the Pendants mean?”
I huddled closer to the fire ready to share a theory I had been forming in my head the entire bus ride.
“What if the Pendants aren’t what we are supposed to be,” I took a deep breath, “but it is who we are.”
