Hoping to make up the day lost to the storm, Kira wakes early and prepares to visit Annabella for a dyeing lesson. Just as she is about to enter the forest, one of her friends from the weaving shed, Marlena tells Kira that she is missed around the shed, and Matt has been doing a poor job as her replacement.
Kira asks Marlena, who lives in the Fen, if she knew Jo, the singing girl. Marlena informs Kira that she knew of her voice, but she didn't know Jo personally. Marlena whispers that people said that Jo's songs were not only beautiful, but also prophetic. They conclude their chat, and Kira sets off for Annabella's house.
Before Kira can enter the woods, Matt arrives and informs Kira that Annabella in dead and she begins to look for Jamison. Kira then speaks to Jo through the key hole of her chamber and promises that she will return soon.
Discussion ?s
1) Are the guardians soon going to "adopt" Jo like they did with Kira and Thomas? Explain your thinking.
2) Why do you think Marlena whispered to Kira that Jo's songs were not only beautiful but prophetic? Is that a secret? Why would Marlena think Jo's songs are prophetic?
3) Discuss Jo's singing abilities. Was she born with this talent? How did she receive the singing skills she has? Explain your thinking.
