Chapters 7 & 8

In chapter 7 David's family gets a new member. Petra is born but at first is not declared. When a baby is born one must get a certificate to declare them as the true image. The Inspector hesitates before signing the certificate. Later David's Aunt shows up with her new baby. As the conversation goes on they find out that her baby is a deviation, later she asks her sister to swap babies so she can get her certificate. the family get out raged and tell her to pray for forgiveness  and to turn the baby in.David later then finds out that his aunt had been found dead in a river. I think as David realizes that if he was found he could be exiled or even worse killed, he could run away to the fringes or to find the other telepathic children.

In chapter 8 David talks to Uncle Axel. It seem as though uncle Axel is the only person that David can explain his thoughts on deviations to. we find out that the one telepathic child that stopped communicating with them was killed after a tree had fallen on him. David feels relieved that he was not found out but is still worried about being found out. later we also find out there is another telepathic child communicating with them. I think David is now seriously considering running away, and I think could possibly go looking for his telepathic friends.
