Naomi Grim (The Silver Scythe Chronicles) Part 1 (10 page)

We rode like this for what seemed like a long
time. I began to feel sick. Bram made sharp turns and slammed on
the brakes the entire time. A little box connected to the dashboard
told us how to get to Kennedy High.

Finally, we pulled in front of a huge
red-bricked building that had several other buildings behind it.
There were kids walking toward the school in all directions.
Someone honked a horn behind us.

"All right, all right," Bram muttered. He
pulled into the place where the other cars were parked. He turned
into an empty space, put the car in park, and turned off the
ignition. The finality of that made my stomach drop.

Bram smiled at me and Dorian. "All right,
Grims. Let’s get this show on the road."

The three of us left the SUV and moaned as we
reached for our shades. The brightness burned my eyes terribly. I
looked at Dorian. He looked terrified. I patted him on the back as
we followed Bram toward the building.

Bram walked ahead of us with confidence. He
turned to us, walking backward. "Just think. Any day now, this
place is going to be the sight of an epic massacre."
