More Than Human Part 1, Section 7 Summary

  • Back to Evelyn. Getting dizzy from all the point-of-view shifts yet?
  • She sees Lone swim up on her side of the fence.
  • We learn she is definitely the one sending the call, and it is growing stronger.
  • Evelyn and Lone sit next to one another and touch lightly.
  • They don't know what a kiss is and barely touch, but the currents of their inner selves surge between them, and they are described as merging.
  • Bellowing his anger, Mr. Kew leaps at them. He throws Evelyn away from Lone.
  • Mr. Kew whips Lone severely. Evelyn attacks him. He hits her twice with the whip-handle. It's an all-out war now. Lone battles Mr. Kew, but the older man whips him, and all Lone can do is escape through the water to the other side of the fence.
  • The father is too angry to figure out how Lone got past the fence, and they have a staring contest through the pickets. Lone uses his strange eyes, in a new way, on the insane Mr. Kew, then crawls away into the woods.
