Adam thinks Eve is crazy, but Eve doesn't mind. In fact, she sometimes thinks Adam is right. For as long as either of them can remember, it's been Eve's sworn duty to watch over the trees, helping them keep Evil in the ground where it belongs.  Eve helps the trees keep Evil at bay by smashing unwanted pumpkins with a pitchfork in the fields of her mother's farm. I did mention Eve is crazy, right? Now that Eve is seventeen, she's having cuter thoughts about Adam as they spend their time together. She's thinking more about their budding romance, and less about what the trees need. That may not be the best idea she's ever had. "Adam, I know you think I'm crazy and you're probably right. But there are things inside the Earth--stuff that should never be seen." The trees are losing the fight. Stuff is getting out.
