3 Days by Krista Madden Read Free Book Online Page B

was a good thing at the time because I didn’t know how to explain why I was preparing for something that wouldn’t happen for nearly two years. I can only hope you weren’t so angry with me that you would throw this warning away. If you are reading this, it means you trusted me enough to wait. And I need you to continue that trust with what I am about to tell you.
    I had a vision one night last week that put all the pieces together. We knew something bad was going to happen, but we couldn’t tell when or what. That night, I got the information we needed.
    I stopped reading long enough to gather my thoughts. What was Blaine trying to say, that he was psychic? That I was psychic? My anger cooled into flustered confusion. So I continued reading:
    Something huge is going to happen. Something that humanity cannot avoid. A solar flare. NASA tried calculating the exact point in time when it would happen, but they screwed up and it was wrong. It will come with an intensity not even they can predict. When it happens, you’ll know. Everything that runs on electricity will shut down, and there is nothing to get it running again. There will be mass chaos among people everywhere including looting, trampling of others, and even murder for supplies. The human race will diminish a great deal from this alone. But then there will be something, we did not anticipate, another threat. It is difficult to explain, but it has always been here. We just never knew it before.
    Okay, now he was just reaching. This had to be one of his jokes. He was probably waiting by his cell for me to call him, so he could laugh until milk came out of his nose.
    Here is what you need to know to survive…
    It will happen today between 7 and 8 am. My visions weren’t clear about the exact time. I know your parents are out of town right now. They will be fine.
    How did he know that?!
    This all happens before they get on the plane, before anything could happen to cause a crash. Others will not be this lucky. Know that you will not be able to go to Denver to get them.
    I continued reading, the details causing me to shake uncontrollably. Tears were streaming down my face.
    Here is the most important thing. I can only wait for you at my house for three days, no longer. Know that I will leave no earlier than that. Do whatever it takes to get to me. Drive, bike, run, for all I care, but don’t give up until you get here. I will be waiting. Pack everything you can carry to sustain you for the next few days and nothing more. I have been preparing for this for two years now, and I will have everything we need to survive longer. It is likely that I am packing my truck while you read this. Please be careful, trust nobody, and get here as quickly as you can. And travel only during daylight, it’s better to stay hidden at night. I will explain more when you get here. I love you and will be praying that I haven’t hurt you enough to ignore my plea. Remember, three days…
    Blaine.

     

Chapter 15
    I sat staring at the letter, shock running through my body from head to toe. This letter was like a clipping out of a sci-fi book. Solar flares, mass chaos, unknown threats. Steven King couldn’t come up with a better plot. It all seemed so made up, like something Blaine and Jared would try and convince me was true back in the past. If it weren’t for the account of the details of my parents’ whereabouts, I would have ripped it up and thought it fiction. But something in my soul said it had to be true, I wanted it to be. If it were true, that meant Blaine had a reason for the way he had acted after my accident. He had a reason to keep me away from him all this time. It may have been hard to believe, but every cell in my body was willing to believe it. And then I looked at the clock: 6:12 am. I had supplies to pack.
    I couldn’t believe what I was doing. In my head, it seemed so silly, but I was driven by an unknown force, pushing me to follow the letter’s instructions. I
