“Let me get this straight,” Mimi said as she massaged the sides of her head, “A bird told you to meet him in the woods close to dusk and you listened?”
Jake rolled his eyes, “Yes-“
“This is why you died, Alexcyn.” She deadpanned, and Jake felt a rush of heat wash over him from her stare.
“That… was so uncalled for, Melifleur.” She scrunched up her nose as he spoke her full name, “Besides I already told you the bird’s name is Grivek, and I’m pretty sure he was the one who brought me here.”
Mimi slowed her walking as she turned to watch Jake as he spoke; “Really?” she heard herself ask.
“He just… seems to know more than he’s telling me.” Jake relented.
“That’s because I do, Jake.”
Both Mimi and Jake’s backs shot straight up as they turned around to look for the owner of the voice that had arrived suddenly.
