Jen sat in the dark space, panicking.
After they had put her in the room, she had looked for something to cut her hands free with. Mr. Love had removed all sharp objects from the room and tied her down to a stationary chair. He even tied the chair so that it wouldn't fall over! Mr. Love had been thorough, but that didn't stop Jen from pulling on her binds in desperation.
Finally, Jen hung her head, close to crying. What am I going to do? she thought. Karyn's going to get the stone and take away my powers or make me a mute and they might just take the stone. I might go to jail! Or use the stone on me to punish me. I can't believe she would tell everyone about it!

Jen knew she could do all that in two sentences with the rock...if she got there in time. Jen nodded enthusiastically.
"Okay, promise me! I don't care what you do to everyone else, just do this for me!"
Jen nodded again. With one swift motion, Ms. Edwards reached in with a box cutter and severed the phone chargers that held Jen's arms and wrists. She was out before Jen could fully untangle herself.
