CHAPTER
THIRTEEN:
Angela
has another weird ass dream.
(I
actually had to read bits of it a few times to finally understand
what was going on.)
She
dreams of the history of the KAtuu and when their world ends. Men
from the third planet (earth) came in their ship and started to build
something. They guarded it at all times.
We
also learn a bit about the KAtuu.
“ That's what brought on the victim's hunger. The parasite had to be fed, or else it would feed on its host. It hungered for the living iron in the dying blood – to bring about the polarity, the magnetism, that led to union with the mind of the world.”
(That
is sooo wierd that the KAtuu's world is like a thinking being or
something!)
So
it seems like all KAtuu have a connection with their planet and can
remember all that has happened.
We
also learn that once a human is fully changed into a KAtuu they can
easily turn others with just their blood and their change would
happen much quicker then if they just drank the water.
The
earth people worked quickly and had to defend what they were building
because the world sent all its 'army' to attack them. It didn't work
however, the men killed all of them with red and green energy beams.
Unfortunately one man stepped out to far and was infected by the
planet. His peers killed him with no hesitation but not before the
world saw what the earth men were doing. They were building a bomb to
destroy the planet. The humans that had previously gone back to
earth, and who were infected, had almost caused the earths population
of humans to be wiped out.
(Okay
I STILL don't get this? Earth obviously had the ability to fly in
space and to land on other planets. Even though the human population
was almost wiped out, wouldn't the earth men currently on the fifth
planet and who go back to earth once the bomb is done still know how
to go into space? So why did that technology disappear and then
reappear later on? The lakes were formed by planet pieces after it
was blown up and landed on the earth 100,000 years ago! I don't get
it!!)
The
world couldn't do anything to stop the men who finished the bomb and
left. The world blew up. A few pieces crashed to earth and survived.
'They floated for eons with consciousness but no comprehension. They knew only their hunger, which they could no longer satisfy, and their hatred of the men who had destroyed their home. Above all else, the vowed that if there was a chance, they would take vengeance upon the people of the third planet.”
Angela
wakes up to find that her and Kevin are locked in the basement. She
had a terrible headache that made it hard for her to think, she
needed to eat soon.
(Told
you Angela that you should have ate something earlier!!)
Poor
Kevin has no idea what is going on. She tries to tell him but really
doesn't have time to go into the whole thing.
“ We are being held captive by thirty vampires from outer space.”
He
tells her she needs to give him more then that but she winches and he
tries to comfort her. She tells him to back away because she is VERY
aware of him and the blood flowing through him.
(OMG
:( I don't want to happen what I think is going to happen :( )
Her
bottles of gas are still down there but there is no fuse. She knows
that there is no escape and the only way to stop them is to blow them
up, with her and Kevin in there. She feels really bad that Kevin will
have to die but she doesn't want to take the chance that one would
get away. He thinks she is crazy and comments that she is just as bad
as Mary. She tells him with sadness that Mary is dead. He is shocked
and asks her how. She said they did it.
She
does her weird mesmerizing thingo and tells him to not interfere with
her. Since she has no matches or any other way to light a flame she
breaks some wood off the wall and jabs one of the bottles so that gas
leaks onto the floor, then settles down to hopefully make a spark by
rubbing two pieces of wood together. She grows emotional and says she
can't do it. She is 18 and doesn't want to die. Poor Kevin still
has no idea what the hell is going on and he is scared because I
assume he also doesn't want to die either. He once again tries to
comfort her and she is intoxicated by his smell. She rubs his wound
on his head and when he is not looking licks her finger. She then
digs deeper until he calls out in pain. She says sorry and realllly
wants to lick her hand again but doesn't want to do it when he is
looking at her.
She
kisses him a few times and when his eyes are closed she snaps his
neck.
(OMG
that is soooo sad and sooo wrong :( This book is freaking
depressing! )
While
she is feeding her mind leaves her and she is glad.
CHAPTER
FOURTEEN:
Lieutenant
Nguyen was stalling but he knew that he needed to talk to Angela
about what Mary told her. But she told him to stay away. He stops at
the cemetery where Todd and Kathy were buried. He goes and visits
there grave and sits down to think.
(oh
god at 11:30 at night! That would be the last place I would be.)
He
believes that Angela believes what Mary told her and that she is
possibly taking over where Mary left off. He is pretty close to
believing it himself, but he doesn't want to face it just yet. He hears
the wind moan but when it doesn't stop when the wind stops he is
horrified to realize that he is hearing it from BELOW him! And its
coming from Todd's grave. He rushes away until he can't hear it
anymore then thinks that maybe it was his imagination until he gets
close again. He freaks out and yells stop and the moan stops. Todd
had heard him. He FREAKS and rushes to his car. He wants to talk to
Angela no matter what and is resolved to kill her if he has to.
(Hey
wait a second, why did Jim and the others go to so much trouble to
get the blood from the mortician but never bothered to go dig up Todd
who is clearly still alive!? He was only shot in the stomach. Sure
that would have killed the host body but KAtuu can only be killed by
destroying their head. Why didn't they go get him? Or destroy him or
something. I mean maybe he can't get around but they went to so much
trouble to hide the blood or whatever they did with it, that they
should have stopped Todd from alerting people to the fact that he is
moaning in the ground. Just saying, Jim and his monsters are lazy!)
CHAPTER
FIFTEEN:
The
crazy ass unemotional monsters opened the door after she was done
with Kevin.
(Serious
sad face :( What did Kevin ever do to deserve this!)
The
feeding had changed her, she forgot who she was but was aware that
she was occupying a human body named Angela.
(Okay
that is really messed up! Is Angela still in there somewhere I
wonder? Like can she see what is going on but the KAtuu is
controlling her? Okay that is way way waaaay too creepy to think
about! I hope for her sake she is not aware! Also Jim is an ass! That
was really a butt ass move to choose Kevin for her to drink? I don't
know what Jim could possibly gain from having her do that? Does he
think that will make her decide not to resist the change? )
Jim
says they are going to have a meeting but since she was covered in
blood he wanted her to clean up.
(I'm
surprised he or any of them care what she looks like. The seem to be
at this point unemotional blood sucking zombies who only think of how
they will get more blood. Unless the blood would distract them or
something.)
So
she makes her way to Angela's bedroom to do so.
When
she gets out of the shower she sees the KAtuu charm and decides to
put it on even though she is not sure why.
(ooooh
maybe Angela is still in there somewhere fighting!)
Doing
so she is able to see red energy?
(
I have no freaking clue what THAT means? That is sooo sooo wierd? )
That
connected all of them to the pieces of world that were left flying in
space. Except there was another part of her that wanted to remember.
Angela was fighting to regain control of herself.
(Yeah!
I knew it!!)
As
her body remembered the redness changed colour then disappeared and
she was herself again. I guess essentially severing the connection to
the world?
She
is horrified at what the KAtuu made her do to Kevin but she pushes it
aside because she doesn't have time to think about it. She ran to
her closet where she had stowed the smaller bottles of gasoline she
had filled earlier. She looks around for a way to light it when Jim
comes to tell her to come to the meeting.
(Of
course he does! They must be getting hungry or something!)
He
notices her necklace and starts to question her about it because he
sees that it looks like KAtuu. She edges towards the closet and says
that an Indian gave it to her just now. He is confused and when she
says he is in the closet he goes and investigates. That gives her
enough time to grab a knife she had in her desk and stab him in the
neck. He calls for help.
(Wow
What! his blood has a green tinge to it!? Why does their blood turn
green?)
“She lashed out with her foot, with every bit of her new found strength, and caught him directly in the balls.”
(ouch!
And also HAHAHA that what you get Jim for being a jerk!)
She
slams her door shut and locks it and hopes that it will give her
enough time to do what she has to do before the others break in. She
grabs one of the bottles from the closet and jumps on it so gas flies
everywhere.
“You waited a hundred thousand years for revenge,” she said. “you wasted your time. You're goners. You're just a bunch of dead heads from a dead world.” She paused and smiled wickedly. “ I hope you feel pain when you die.”
She
lights the gas on fire and runs for the balcony The first bomb goes
off flinging her into the lake. Then the one in the basement blew and
the oil tank beside the house. It was pretty positive to say that
everyone in there died.
(What
about the dog? Plastic never jumped off the deck and she didn't throw him in the water did she? Or did I miss something. I guess
Plastic also was blown off the balcony? I hope so the poor dog!)
Lt
Nguyen was pretty close to the house when it blew. He didn't call
it in right away because he knew that Angela must have wanted this to
happen. He thought he saw something fly into the water but when he
looked harder he thought he must have been mistaken.
EPILOGUE:
THREE MONTHS LATER
LT
Nguyen goes back to visit what is left of the house although he stays
far away from it. He was present when they took out what was left of
the bodies. They managed to identify them by dental records. He was
sad to find that Kevin had been in the basement. They could find no
trace of Angela however and he even made them search the lake. He had
adopted Angela's grandfathers dog who he found along the lake after
the explosion.
He
was among many that were leaving Point. He himself was moving to
California. About 6 weeks after the explosion a man, Philip Frazier,
had the propane tanker he was driving stolen. He didn't see who
attacked him, or what, but knew that it had come from the roof. The
stolen truck resurfaced when it was used to trigger the oil wells to
explode which in turn caused oil to leak into the lake for a few days
before they could stop it. It would have been way to expensive to
clean it so instead in the spring they were going to drain it and
fill it in. Nguyen knew that before he left he had to kill whatever
was in Todd's grave, which he was not looking forward to.
(Really
I don't freaking blame him!)
He
and the dog go into the woods to look for animal carcasses. He had
found a number of them in the weeks since the house went up. It
didn't take him long to find one. The dog all of a sudden became
terrified which in turn freaked Nguyen out. They left quickly.
Up
in the tree starting down at the dog and Nguyen was essentially what
had become of Angela. She had completely transformed into KAtuu
except that she was different. For a moment she was tempted to attack
Nguyen but then touched her necklace that she still wore. She had no
memory of why she was wearing it or where it came from nor did she
remember what KAtuu were or where she came from. She for some reason
had a memory that eating humans was bad so she decided that she
wouldn't ever.
THE
END
(I'm
so terribly sad that Angela wasn't able to revert back to human
although I guess I realized that wasn't going to be a possibility
since it was Jim's blood that turned her. The ending here when Nguyen
was in the woods and she was in the tree also sparked a memory of
this book from my youth. Anyways it was sort of nice to not remember
exactly what happened and it was still good this time as an adult as
I probably though it was when I was younger.)
