Chapters 8-10

In chapters 8-10, Kira left to the woods with Matt trailing behind. She went to Annabella's house and she listened to all of the lectures on which plants make which color. She tried to memorize them with Matt, then Thomas wrote it down so that he can read it to Kira when she forgot. It turns out, like Kira, he had a piece of wood that comforted him when he felt lonely. While they memorized, Kira got some threads ready. As they did that, they noticed something. The men were getting ready to hunt, and Matt had decided he wanted to be in it. Thomas and Kira chased after Matt and gave him the most cruel punishment for Matt: bathe him. When he left, they went back to work.
