Chapter 13

A me time moment

“And then Archie knocked over a vase upstairs, and the vampires found him. For a moment, we thought we were about to become vampire kebabs.” I regaled Vorana and Sage about our kitten impossible mission over breakfast the next morning.

Zandra had heard it all before but was happy to listen again. After all, it had been a successful mission. Although she looked worried about the vampire kebab reference.

“Remus has always had an interest in the familiar bond,” Vorana said. “He often asks Sorcha how she manages with Tinkerbell.”

“Vampires are almost as curious as cats,” I said. “And I think things could work out between him and Archie. I checked in with Archie first thing, and they had a successful night. The trial is going well, and Archie got a steak for breakfast.”

“That hellhound will get fat,” Zandra said.

“Fat and happy,” Vorana said. “Nothing wrong with that. Archie hasn’t had the greatest of opportunities in life, so why not be overindulged by a ridiculously wealthy vampire? Especially if there’s no chance Archie will get nibbled.”

“You’ll hear no complaints from me.” Zandra eyeballed me. “I just wish Juno had told me what she was planning.”

“Our wonderful familiars have minds of their own.” Vorana planted a kiss on Sage’s head. “You’re quiet this morning, sweetie pie. Not feeling too good?”

Sage grunted. She’d been pushing her food around her plate since we settled in for breakfast.

While Vorana and Zandra talked about how amazing their familiars were, I shuffled closer to Sage. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

“You’re not eating. If you don’t want it—”

She swiped away my paw. “I do.”

“So...”

“Not here.”

“What do you mean?”

“Follow me. We’ll be back in a moment.” Sage cleverly hopped into her harness and trundled off, not waiting to see if I’d follow.

I grabbed my last mouthful of breakfast, jumped off the seat, and wandered into the hallway.

Sage was waiting, her expression even grumpier than usual. “You should have taken me with you.”

“Where?”

“On the kitten impossible mission.”

“You said you didn’t want to come. You said your wheels would hold you back.”

“I have a disability. I’m not dead.”

“I never said you were. I wanted you there.”

“That’s not how I remember the conversation. And you only said those things because you felt sorry for me.”

My ears lowered. “Sage, I didn’t. And you don’t know me at all if you think I’d give empty platitudes and pity you. I recognize a powerful familiar when I see one. I asked you on that mission because I knew you’d help me. You were the one who made excuses about not being useful.”

“No! It was the other way around.”

“Maybe you’re losing your memory. Remind me how old you are again?”

“Now you think I’m going senile?” She hissed at me.

I lifted a paw and zapped Sage with a tingle of magic. Not enough to hurt but enough to bring her to her senses. “Maybe that’ll jog your memory. You definitely said no. I tried to talk you around, but you dug in your paws. You missing out on an excellent mission is on you, not me.
