Berry Interesting
"I wish that I could join you, but Kira looks like she will want some blood from me for speaking out like that," Mishal said, and I frowned, but she smiled. "Not real blood, she isn't a monster, but she might crack my ear drums. She can be louder than the howling tempest, but I should be fine. Kira will just be upset that I haven't visited in so long. Don't think that Melrose is completely cowed, either. She is as smart as she looks."
I nodded, and Mishal left Tallia and me alone.
"Are you ready to go?" She asked, and I nodded but then heard a squeak from behind me.
I turned around to find Barry, but she was about twenty feet down the hall from me. I had completely forgotten about her, but I must have scared the creature when I lost control of myself. That moment was pretty worrisome, considering that I blacked out and didn't remember what I had said or done. It wasn't until I had the Queen held out of the window by her neck that I regained control.
