chapters 9-10

In chapter in 9, David is working in the fields and he feels a need to run, fast, to the river. Once he gets to the river he finds his little sister Petra drowning. Rosalind is also there because she felt the same urge to run to the river. David and Rosalind conclude that Petra has the same gift as them but it is a lot stronger. I think it is really cool that Petra has that gift, it's almost like she can control people with her mind. In chapter 10, Anne, one of the people who David can speak to, tells all of her telepathy buddies that she is planning on marrying Allan, the boy who tattled on Sophie. Everyone says she shouldn't do it for their safety but she is convinced that everything will be fine. Anne blocks them out and stops talking to them. One night Allan is killed and Anne suspects that the telepathy group did it so she writes a note to the inspector giving them away, then she commits suicide. Luckily Rachel, one of the members of the telepathy group and Anne's sister, finds the note and burns it. They all feel safe for now but I don't think it will last long. I am frustrated that Anne refuses to talk to any of her buddies and just assumes they murdered Allan. I get the feeling that David and his friends are going to have to run away very soon.
