EPILOGUE TWO

(Lily)

I’m sitting at a desk in Mrs. McSweeney’s house. Jacob is in the Monster Containment Chamber … the special room we prepared for him.

The moon is about to rise.

I can’t wait to see what Jacob is going to turn into! Thank goodness we installed that little window in the door of the chamber. That way we can look in to see what’s happening. I’ve got the video camera too, so after Jacob turns back into himself, we can show him what happened.

Time is short, so here’s the last note I’ll make for now: I haven’t told Jake this yet, but next month I’m hoping to talk him into letting me take his place when the big night comes. That would still work to protect the baby, and I really, really want to find out what it’s like to turn into a monster.

Wouldn’t that just be cooler than Frankenstein’s pink pajamas?

Uh-oh. Jake’s starting to howl.

Mrs. McSweeney just yelled for me to bring the camera.

Gotta go—it’s monster time!
