Chapter Fifteen

Perched on the padded seat of the bay window in my room, I hugged my knees to my chest and watched Salem dart across the tender new grass in the front yard. Terra must have marshaled Soleil and Evian to help with repairing the damage because the gardens appeared almost normal again.

Hightailing it from somewhere near the clearing where Clara stood immortalized in stone, Salem was little more than a black streak moving across the green. According to the terse note he'd left on my desk, he'd taken himself off to wherever it is familiars congregate for a well-deserved night of R&R. Reading between the lines, I knew he'd also gone fishing for information about Fate Weavers.

Shadows moved a fair distance across the grass before I heard his feet on the stairs.

Apparently, he was still angry with me for, as he put it, "dumping my problems off on him and leaving him stuck in the middle" of the whole godmothers vs. birth mother debacle. Then there was the unfortunate incident at the end. I hadn't meant for him to get caught up in the tantrum. Then again, I hadn't meant to throw one at all. Twenty-five is a little too old for such juvenile behavior.

Surprisingly, when I crept back into the house the next morning, the incident had gone unmentioned, and the faeries treated me with slightly more respect. Acting like a great big jerk is how they seem to define family, and I'd apparently risen a notch in their eyes--and probably dropped one in Salem's.

I suppose I couldn't really blame him. Hence, the seafood chowder in the refrigerator, as promised. When he finally slunk into my bedroom, Salem was licking his lips with a dreamy look in his eye, and it took everything I had not to pounce on him (pardon the expression) for information.

"You're not completely off the hook, Missy, but keep up with the brown nosing, and you might just get back in my good graces."

"What did you find out?"

"Who says I went looking for information? I took a night off. I'm entitled."

Under my best skeptical glare, he relented.

"I learned quite a bit, actually, once Fluffy and Chester stopped laughing at how long it's been since I could walk on two legs." Salem had been confined to his cat body until just a few weeks ago, and he hadn't been happy about it. Imagine my surprise when he'd shifted right in front of me for the first time. I'd thought him a stray when I bundled him up and brought him inside ten years ago, but apparently, he'd been waiting for me to come of age, and that had taken about a decade longer than it should have.

"Fluffy and Chester are your familiar friends?"

"Do you think my name has always been Salem?" he retorted, "we all get named by children unless their mothers have enough sense to intervene and insist on something more fitting of a being with nine whole lives."

"Well, sorry I didn't have a
