Pages 35-61 Summary

That night, the house has no power, and Emily questions why they had to move there, claiming that it’s not something their dad would have done. This makes her mom cry; Karen explains that she misses their dad as much as they do and wishes she weren’t alone. Emily tells her that she isn’t alone, and the three of them hug before settling down to sleep.

During the night, Emily is awoken by the amulet. It warns her that her family is in danger—she needs to stay with them and keep them safe. A noise from downstairs soon wakes everyone, and they go to investigate. The thumping sound continues as they move through the dark house. Karen says that it is probably just an animal. The noise appears to be coming from the basement, and Karen instructs Emily and Navin to stay on the main floor where it is safe while she goes to see what it is. Karen climbs down the stairs and discovers the ghost-like creature from the library. She is distracted by the apparition and fails to notice that a giant tentacled monster with a gaping maw (later revealed to be an arachnopod) is approaching from behind her.
