He missed Jack badly. He was so fed up sometimes, that he found himself spending time in the company of Roland, something he would never have dreamt of doing a month before. He wished with all his heart that he could be back at home with his family in Kilmainham. But the plague stopped any movement between the village and the city. When he thought of his mother mourning little Edith he felt as if his heart would break. And he wondered what might be happening out there in the mill. Perhaps someone else in his family had got sick and the news had not reached the priory. He prayed every day that the plague would not spread to his mother and father or his other sisters and brothers. He missed them all so much. And he missed Kai too, even though he was still at the priory. But his friend never seemed to be around now. In fact, it almost seemed as if Kai were trying to avoid him. So many times, Kai disappeared off on his own, refusing to say where he was going or what he was doing. Tom suspected he was going to meet his father, and he was afraid one day he would wake up and find that Kai had gone away completely.
