Drawing a Dark Way
After Jason talks to Emily about her dream, he sits in the grass and passes the time by drawing as the carnival that his father rented for the island filled up with kids. Eventually the crow Lenore comes and tells Jason that his mother started talking. When Jason and Lenore get to her, she's white as a sheet and fading fast, and only really tells Jason something about how she "can't hold them back anymore", and she tells Jason to not "draw a dark way," and then she passes on. Shortly afterwords, Emily is kidnapped by demons just like in Jason's drawing that he found that morning, and a month later she's still missing. Jason started a new year of high school and is living with his Aunt Carina until his father sorts things out, but he's been so depressed about his mother and Emily that he hasn't felt like going to school. One day he skips school in a cave by the sea, and when he gets out at sundown, the bully Brad and his friends meet him. They were about to leave Jason alone after he talks about how he doesn't feel like dealing with them since his mother died and sister went missing, but Jason makes them angry on purpose afterwords. Eventually, after a scuffle, Brad insults Jason's sister, which makes Jason get very angry and strong enough to beat the bullies. Jason runs after he's done, and meets his aunt in the living room, where he realizes just how late he got home.

Ms. Starch is a very teacher at Truman Private School that intimidated all her students. In the first chapter she has her third period biology class and is asking the class to tell her about the Calvin Cycle, but everyone is unwilling. Nick forgot his textbook, but he stills raises his hand to answer when it looks like Ms. Starch is about to pick on his friend Marta. Ms. Starch does a fake out and ends up picking a boy named Duane "Smoke" Scrod instead, who was held back two years in elementary school, and then expelled one year. Duane and Ms. Starch exchange some intimidating words until it escalates to the point where Ms. Starch points a pencil at Duane's face and he ends up eating half of it. Then he packs up his things and walks out of the class without a word.

At the science field trip to the Black Vine Swamp, a wildfire breaks out and cuts the field trip short. Just before all the students and teachers leave, Nick whips out his camcorder and videotapes what he thinks is a panther, but is later revealed to be a person running around the swamp. When everyone gets to the buses safely, Ms. Starch goes back into the swamp to get Libby's asthma inhaler. She ends up gone the rest of the day and the other two science teachers and the principal think that she's missing. That night, though, Libby's father finds her inhaler at the door after their dog Sam wakes the entire house. In the morning, Ms. Starch's car is even gone from the swamp, suggesting that she's well enough to have left it, but technically she's still missing. The deputies on campus start to ask Ms. Starch's students questions, starting with Graham.

Soon Marta and Nick are called into questioning by the deputy, and when it's Nick's turn we find out that the wildfire at the field trip in the swamp was a controlled fire, probably by an experienced arsonist. Nick doesn't really know what to think, about whether or not Duane Jr. created the wildfire. When he gets home he shows his video tape to Marta, the one where he thought he found a panther but really found a person. Afterwords, Marta leaves and Nick checks him email to see if his father sent anything about how he's doing in the army. After he doesn't find any new mail, he gets nervous since it's been quite a bit of time since he last heard from his father. Because of this, Nick doesn't want to be alone, so he catches up with Marta and makes up a story to go with her to the convenience store. When he gets home, he finds him mother crying because Nick's father is hurt and also coming home. At the hospital, all three talk a bit about the father's now-missing right arm.
