The Morrigan picked up her phone. She dialed a number she knew by heart, regardless of what name the owner was going by.
The line was picked up. “Cursed be, Rose Red.”
“I miss you, too, Snow White.” The Morrigan found herself grinning, in spite of herself. “Are you still a pathetic, whining vampire who dances, desiring to kill herself?”
“Thank Lillith, no. Some nice, vengeance driven ancient was kind enough to rip Ursula’s throat out, along with all of her daddy issues.”
“It brought you back.” She kept her voice playful, not letting the tiny wobble in her voice show.
“It enabled me control once more of this body.” The Morrigan could almost see her sister’s eyebrows coming together, as she frowned. “I’ve decided to have myself cloned, to save myself future mishaps.”
“That sounds like a mishap waiting to happen.” Evony could feel her eyes coming together, mirroring the expression of the woman at the other end of the line.
Neither of them needed to see it. They could both feel it.
The two of them had never been identical. One was fair, one was dark. Differences made them distinctive, yet enough similarities lingered to remind it each they were kin.
“It’s all right. I own the Illuminati wench who’ll give me a more permanent immortality. As she can you.”
“You know me.” Evony smiled against the phone, almost hearing something moaning in the darkness which made even bad little girls shiver. “I always follow your lead.”
“You mean you wait to see if whatever is out there will bite me before you venture anything yourself.” Iulette sounded more amused than reproving. “Go ahead and cower in the shadows, little sister. See what I can do.”
The phone line went dead. Evony looked at it her hand.
“I will.” She allowed her voice to soften, just a bit when she was talking to herself. When her sister could no longer hear her. “Even so I’ll wish you luck.”
It had been wise not to venture out in the darkness. It was probably wise not to get involved in whatever scheme she was involved in now.
This didn’t stop Evony from wishing her luck.
