The Mark He Bit Into Me novel Chapter 47

Chapter 10

The officers didn’t want to scare the other kids at preschool, so they took off Mom and Dad’s

handcuffs.

I saw my best friends Molly and Wendy!

They knew my parents, and the moment they saw them, they bounced over, all excited.

“Penny’s mom, Penny’s dad, how come she hasn’t been to preschool for so many days now?

The teacher’s going to take away all her gold star stickers!”

“We all miss Penny. Why isn’t she coming back?”

My nose stung. I was never going to see my friends again.

I wondered what Mom and Dad were going to say about how I died.

I hoped they wouldn’t scare my friends.

But Dad choked up and said, “Penny went to live somewhere else. She won’t be coming back

to this preschool.”

Mom nodded. “That’s right. We’re just here to sign the withdrawal papers for Penny and pick

up her things.”

The other kids all let out little cries of disappointment when they heard that.

Soon, a teacher led Mom and Dad over to my little table.

Someone slipped a cute eraser into their hands, and Wendy offered the small cookies she

knew I loved most.

“Penny’s mom, Penny’s dad, you have to give these to Penny for me.”

“When are you going to buy Penny one of those kids’ smartwatches? Then we can call her all

the time.”

I saw Mom turn away to swipe at her tears, then force a smile as she said they’d buy one

right away.

I pouted.
