Chapter Thirty-Nine
The perfect temperature and clean air were a welcomed relief after the heat and smoke on the island where theyâd been. However, it all seemed like a sick joke after going from one extreme to the next.
âWhat did you find?â Paris crawled over to where Faraday lay a few yards away, noticing that the rodentâs chest was rising and falling, indicating that he was alive, to her relief.
He looked at her sideways as if he was waking from a nap. âOh, itâs not goodâ¦not good at all, Pare.â
âWell, you not telling me straight away isnât good for you, so tell me now.â She stretched to a standing position and watched as the squirrel did the same.
âAt first, I couldnât figure it out when I was reviewing the notes,â he began. âThe molecular data didnât match with what theââ
âI will turn you into jerky,â Paris interrupted. âI have a restaurant opening in a few hours, my hair is full of soot, and Iâm pretty certain that place ruined my favorite boots. Tell me what you learned and now, or youâll be on the menu at Little Pleasures.â
âThe Knees have figured out how to fuse into one person,â he said in a mad rush.
âWow, thatâs super bizarre.â Paris was shocked. âI mean, I knew they were crazy, but thatâs one weird act of desperation. Why would they do that?â
âIâm guessing they realized that the only way to beat you, who they must believe is their main enemy and obstacle, is to become your shadow-self. So theyâve fused themselves, but they did it to become one. They used their parts to be like your parts, which is majority fairy, part-magician, and demon blood to create a truly formidable force.â
Paris halted, swallowed, and assimilated the information. Then she turned to the squirrel and squatted to face him with a serious expression. âDid they succeed? This is very, very important. Did they create a replica of me?â
He bit his lip, put his paws in his mouth for a moment, yanked them out again, and looked to the side. âIâm afraid they did. There's a very dark version of you out there. Something thatâs part-fairy and part-magician with demon blood.â
Paris threw her head back and laughed, realizing that Faraday was extremely confused but that things were finally going her way.
Her enemies might be helping her out for once.
