Chapter 9



Content:

At night Jess can't sleep. She goes to the window, looks down at the river and there she sees the boy of the fall again: wearing black shorts, in the middle of the night, walking through the river. Who is this mysterious boy? She wants to find it out and decides to go out in order to ask him some questions, because he doesn't look any dangerous.
However when she reaches the river the boy was disappeared. How is that possible? Jess doesn't know. Then she sees Dad coming to her. She is really confused by the incidents around her, however she doesn't say anything about the boy to her worrying Dad.
They return to the cottage together and while Dad begins to nod in sleep, Jess stands in front of her window and gazes into the night.

My thoughts while reading:

This mysterious boy kept me busy at this chapter again. What kind of boy could that be? A boy spending a night at a river by rambling through it without anything except black shorts? That couldn't be a usual boy.
I really think that the boy could stand in coherence with the dramatic fire that murdered Grandpas parents, but I don't know why. Maybe the boy is the ghost of the brother of Grandpa.
