Spelling/grammar: I think "more" in "more roof tiles can be omitted. There should also be a period before "nana", which should be capitalized. Another comma addition: "Holding onto Thomas, she left the room." Also, "She 'set' the fourth bowl..." and "power did no grow as quickLY".

characters: Even for a first chapter, Katherine and Jake's characters are well fleshed out. Congratulations. However, Thomas seems more of a cliche- a white sacrifice if you will, and an easy way to gain pathos with the audience. Still, I don't object to his presence.

Ending: I feel like you could have left it up in the air whether Jake returned Thomas or not. After all, you already have the "hope he told the truth" in place (which stands out to me), and it would be a nice cliffhanger-suspense but not contrived action.

writing: You have quite a few run-ons, and a few asyndetons. Maybe you could separate these instances into their own sentences. I think it would read better without "...and...and...and...".

Overall, I have favorited this and would like to see how it turns out, so keep me updated. Some of the grammar halts the narrative, but it is well-told and worth reading.
By the way, I would love some "honest constructive criticism" (ie. harsh) for my story if you have time or the inclination; thanks in advance, and thanks for letting me read this.

For the Review Game:

This isn't too bad. You clearly have some pretty powerful images in your head, but right now, your words aren't doing your plot justice. It's so nearly there, but you're moving the plot along so fast, you aren't actually building up any sense of drama or suspense for the reader, or any idea of who the characters are, which is a shame, because there really are some promising ideas in here.

I like Katherine's interactions with her grandson, particularly:

“Why did you make a circle nana?” Thomas asked in a whisper she could barely hear.
Katherine didn’t answer. Instead she kissed his temple as the world rumbled above them."

it just captures a really beautiful moment.

What would be really nice would be if you could expand out that opening bit before everything becomes strange - give the reader a chance to become really invested in the character of Katherine, and a chance for the suspense to build.

I'm afraid I didn't like Jake much. He seems a bit of a stereotypical bad-but-pretty-boy, and his entrance made me roll my eyes. He was growing on me towards the end as a villain, and I'm interested to find out what happens next.

really good start! please write more soon
