Then, when she found out it was Jacob she ran over to him and started hugging him. Jacob froze with astonishment because, Delaney's eyes were gone and replaced with some blue crystal orbs that apparently could let her see. Finally, she took Jacob over to the window and showed him what the city looked like from up in the tower.

The Seer

Today I read the Seer for 20 minutes and I read from pages 18 to 23. Here is what I read: Jacob had been walking for days and he knew that the guy who gave him supplies had lied to him. Jacob was thankful though that the man gave him some food and water. He then saw something out of the ordinary stick out from the grass. At first since it was white he thought it was a flower, But then as he got closer to it he shuddered with disgust. It was Bones! but not just bones it was human bones. He had recognized the remains of the clothes and when he turned the body around he was shocked. There on what used to be the persons chest was a sounder. It was a man or women from the city of Harmony. He used his own sounder just to make sure it wasn't the body of his friend Delaney. He remembered her too leaving the city of Harmony and other things about her. The body wasn't her but it was someone from Harmony. wHen he took the sounder from the person and put it in his bag with his other stuff he heard a noise. It was Gruskers.

Once he finally saw her and saw here face, he was horrified. What he saw instead of eyes, were flames. After many screams he finally woke up. He had to keep moving and he was dying of hunger and thirst. as the sun grew dim and then rose again at the start of the next day, he thought about how only a month ago he was still blind and how he was given a device to help him locate people and where he is. he remembered how it was his fault that he couldn't live in his city anymore. He would have been able to stay if he didn't tell anyone about his vision. They tried to take him into surgery and take his vsion away and wipe it from his brain. He remembered playing with his best friend when he got his first Headache and the sudden rush of pain then finally vision. Suddenly he tried to get the attention of a car going by.
