“What did you do to her?” I glared at the dark fairy.

She shrugged a thin shoulder. “Brought her back,” she turned to Ash and frowned, “mostly.”

“What the hell does that mean?” James demanded.

She chuckled. “Sometimes resurrection doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to. Side effects. Like anything.”

Horror filled me. I turned back to Ash. The girl shook her head at me, eyes wide.

“What is it? What’s wrong, Ash?” I took a cautious step toward her. James was by her side, holding her hand.

The fairy clucked her tongue. “She can’t talk, silly.”

I whirled on her. “Why not? What did you do to her?”

She gave me an exaggerated sigh. “Must we go over this again? Your questions are bo-ring.”

Anger burned my chest. “You can’t keep her like this. It’s not humane.”

Laughter erupted from the fairy-elf. “Not humane?” She cackled once more and gave me a mocking look of pity. “I’m not human, sweetie.”

I glared at her. She was the reason the GRIMMS were necessary in the first place. Creatures like her that didn’t operate with things like human decency.

She rolled her creepy black eyes at me. “Humans have done much worse. So, let’s not pretend you’re the innocent ones here.”

My face flushed. “I haven’t hurt anyone.”

“But you will. Just give it time. GRIMM, aren’t you? Little murderer in training. Just like the rest of you.” She giggled, eyes darting to Javi and Shiloh.

Her words struck a nerve. The images of the shifters flashed in my mind. I had wanted to kill them before. I pushed them away, not wanting to think about them. The world was much grayer, and lines blurred than I’d ever thought.

“Why did you bring her back?” I changed the subject.

The fairy ran her hand over Ash’s hair and smiled at me. “We had a deal. Did you think a silly little thing like dying would break it?”

Ash shook her head again and pity filled me. I wracked my brain trying to come up with a way to help her.

“What can… Is there any way to release her from your deal?”

Black eyes narrowed at me and the smile that spread on her face was one hundred percent wicked.

“You wish to take her place?”

I cringed. No. I couldn’t. There was still so much left to do, and I couldn’t bring myself to become slave to the fairy. But if she had Grayson, it could be my way to get to him.

“No. She’s not.” Javi spoke for me.

“But there has to be another way. Isn’t there something we can give you?” Shiloh asked.

She gave me a thoughtful look and glanced at Ash. “Your first born?”

Her words chilled me. What did she even want with a human child? If I never had kids would that free me or would she only find something else to take from me?

“No. Something else.” Horror echoed in Shiloh’s voice.

Michael stepped between us, fists clenched by his sides. “Listen, Fairy. I—”

“Mal.” She corrected the wolf.

“Sorry, Mal. We were told you knew where to find the wizard. Can you help us or are we wasting our time?”

She clucked her tongue at him.
