Chapters 11-13

In chapters 11-13, Kira was going to Annabella's to learn more, but a beast followed her on the way. She didn't see it, but she heard it growling and following her. Annabella told her in the way some people talk: "There be no beasts." Kira tried to convince her, but over and over again: "There be no beasts."
The next day, there was a storm. Thomas came over to her room to tell her he had heard voices and weeps. They got Matt and he followed them downstairs to find out what the weeps were about. When they went down, they saw Jamison. He was looking at a sobbing tyke with cruelty. He made her sing and she had the most beautiful voice ever. When she stopped singing, she went back to crying and Jamison slammed the door in her face.
Back at Kira's room, Matt said he knew the tyke, and the tyke's name was Jo. Her parents were both dead.
Jamison came to Kira's room later to see her progress with the robe. Kira asked him if he had seen beasts. She also told him that Annabella had said: "There be no beasts." Jamison told her firmly that there were beasts and he had seen them. Her father was taken by beasts, witnessed. She must not stray past the paths.
