“I don’t have curly hair,” said Crista. “And why is my tongue sticking out?”

“Why do I look crazy?” asked Michael.

“My eyes!” Ali exclaimed. She put both hands to her head. “Why am I bald?”

“Is that all you care about?” asked Pilose. “It’s not the faces that matter, it’s the names. Your names are all here. And more important than that, you’re all tied to my flock by the Hair of the Eternal Imp!”

“The Eternal Imp?” said Crista. “That’s ridiculous.”

“This is very serious,” said Pilose. “You cannot cut the Hair of the Eternal Imp except by seeing the flock grown—and maybe not even then.”

“Who’s the Eternal Imp?” asked Ali. “Impoliptus?”

“No,” said Pilose. “Impoliptus is the Great Imp, the one who first tied imps to children, but he is only an imp. The Hair of the Eternal Imp is the magic that ties imps to children and children to imps, magic that Impoliptus only harnessed. Before we un-enslaved ourselves, it tied us to rewards and punishments. Now it ties children and their flocks.”

“So let’s say I’m tied to your flock somehow,” said Crista. “So what? We’ll finish growing your stupid fairies and be done with you.”

“But you’ve broken the rules,” said Pilose.

“I didn’t break any rules,” said Crista. “I’ve done nothing but help you.”

“Turn the paper over,” said Pilose.

Crista grabbed the paper, flipped it over, and dropped it back onto the bed. Carefully, Ali inched forward.
