240 Ava: Sister Miriam is Angry
Chapter 30Magister Orion doesn't bat an eye when we tell him that we want to get in touch
with Sister Mirlam.
Two hours later, we're back in Sister Miriam's strange mansion, just outside of the Fae Ward.
We all try calling people again, but nothing but voicemails answer us.
Selene rolls against the cool floor, groaning in relief. So much easier to breathe here. Pity. I do like it there.
"Sorry." Watching her writhe around to soothe her itchy skin gives me something to do while we wait for Sister Miriam's arrival.
Layla is back, hunched over a pile of papers she dragged with her, marking through various papers with terrifying efficiency. I'm not even sure if she's reading what's on the pages. Just flip, sign, flip, flip, sign. Every so often she sets one to the side after writing REJECTED in large letters at the top of the
page.
"Their language is fascinating." Vanessa murmurs, also watching the gnome work.
"Language?" Startled, I glance at the healer. "She hasn't said a word."
Our whispers echo through the room. It's impossible for Layla not to hear everything we're saying, yet we continue to whisper.
"Her writing," she corrects me. "Those letters-you called them runes?-are so interesting. She writes them so quickly, but they're so intricate and detailed."
Glancing at the papers again, I squint my eyes.
It takes a while for me to realize that Layla is, in fact, writing in the strange language of theirs, and not in English.
That can't be possible. I'm reading everything she's writing with such case, as though it were already in English. How?
