Chapter Fourteen
Giggling.
âAre you guys hungry already?â Miranda said, her tongue thick with sleep.
How sheâd ever fallen to sleep in the first place was a mystery to her. Last night sheâd watched Fanian convulse for whatâd seemed like forever. Well into the night, the seizing had finally stopped. Sheâd checked his breathing and found nothing.
Although sheâd never stuck around long the times sheâs tried to kill him, she was certain, well, almost certain he was truly dead this time. She didnât notice any great regeneration skills, but then again, there hadnât been anything outwardly to regenerate. Whatever had happened to him had occurred in his insides.
It wouldâve been nice not to have a dead body around her kids, but they were still trapped in the hole, and without access to a pod, her only hope was for someoneâpreferably a humanâto happen by and save them.
Another giggle.
Miranda ran a gloved hand down her face in hopes of wiping away some of the grogginess. Despite being trapped and surrounded by ice, sheâd been remarkably warm throughout the night. The sleeping bag was the cause of that. She yawned then reached out, expecting to touch either Adam or Lexi and found emptiness instead. She opened her eyes and only found indentations in the sleeping bag where they shouldâve been.
âIs that a true story?â Adam asked with a chuckle.
Any sleepiness still in her system left instantly. She pushed to sit and turned to find Adam sitting in front of Fanian, who held Lexi in his lap and fed her a bottle.
Her heart dropped. He could take them away from me. She let out a harsh breath.
She scrambled from the sleeping bag, tangling her legs in the material, but pushed forward to snatch Lexi by her arm from Fanianâs grasp. âWhat are you doing?â With her free hand, she pulled Adam from Fanianâs reach.
âThe robot Fanian is telling us a story his father used to tell him,â Adam said as if there was nothing remotely dangerous about this situation. âI didnât even know that robots could have fathers!â
Right. Sheâd been the one to tell Adam that Fanian was a robot and not an alien who already had a buyer set up for them.
Fanian snickered. âYes, now let me finish my story, Mishka.â
Miranda narrowed her eyes. âStay. Away. From. My. Children.â
âSays the female who was sleeping soundly while aâ¦â Fanian turned to Adam. âWhat am I again?â
âAn evil robot whoâs trying to keep us from getting to Santaâs workshop!â
Fanian turned back to Miranda. Amusement danced in his eyes. âAh, yes. Iâm a machine in a survivalist game that the childrenâs father has paid for.â
âDonât you dare,â she whispered through clenched teeth.
âIâm not a total monster,â he replied. âI just happen to be a robot who knows stories and likes to tell them to human children. Someone had to entertain and feed them while you snored.â He waved blue fingers through the air. âYou were doing an abysmal job at protecting your children, Mishka. I couldâve done anything I wanted to them.
