  92. By Amanda Hocking

But Bryn Aven and Bekk Vallin I knew. Bryn had been the one to get me out of Iskyla five and a half years ago, and we’d kept in touch since then. I had met her parents once—her Skojare mother and her Kanin father—but Indu was claiming that he was really her father.

Bekk had been the one to help me find Indu in the first place, but she’d also been the one to give Indu a forewarning that I was on his trail. To top it off, she was pregnant with his child, something she’d done on purpose for reasons I didn’t fully understand.

But considering the average life expectancy of Indu’s children and that he had held me hostage and stolen my blood, I had plenty of reason to believe his other daughters could be in danger.

“Those are your sisters, right?” Hanna asked.

“They might be,” I allowed.

“You should talk to them.”

I looked over at her. “I’m surprised to hear you saying that.”

“No, I know I’m just being silly.” She suddenly sounded tired. “And you’re right. We’re family now, no matter what, so if you have more sisters, that just means I have more sisters too.” She smirked. “Not that I need more sisters.”

I laughed.

“But is that Bryn your friend Bryn?” Hanna asked, and I nodded. “Did you know she was your sister before?”

“I still don’t know that she is,” I corrected her. “But I never thought she might be until Indu mentioned it.”

“When are you going to tell her?” Hanna pressed.

I sighed. “I don’t know.”

“I’m always happy to tag along, and I think I’ve proven myself a worthy sidekick.”

“Really?” I raised an eyebrow. “That’s how you describe your time in Merellä?”

“I helped you and kept you fed. I’m basically the Alfred to your Batman.”

I laughed again. “I do not think that’s an accurate description of us at all.” I smiled down at her. “I missed you, kid.”

“I missed you too.”

Missed

I couldn’t sleep, even though I was exhausted. I’d spent the day chasing kids and the evening planning my next move. The twins slept soundly in their cribs, while I tossed and turned on the air mattress.

I didn’t want to disturb them, so I grabbed my cell phone and crept down the stairs. Everyone was asleep, so I could’ve just hung out in the living room without bothering anyone, but it was a beautiful night.
