"I guess we'll see when we dig her up," says Granny.

"Yep!"

"Bells sure do make life interesting," says Slipstick. The other Libbies laugh.

"Yeah, no kidding," snorts Jacob.

"Jake," sighs Elspeth.

"I've got no objection to how things shook out once she managed to get rid of the Volturi, Elsie, but before that..."

"Yeah," sighs Elspeth. "I know. It's tidier when it's mints, though."

"Mama had a harder time of taking over our world than the other Bells have had with theirs, because she didn't have coins, just individual people some of whom had witchcraft, and because someone was already ruling the vampires when she got there. One of her plans backfired and she and Dad wound up each thinking the other was dead for five years, and mated vampires can't really do a lot without their mates safe. Mama managed to bring me up while pretending to be dead to everybody else she knew, which is more than most anyone would have been able to do. But then we got split up and I found Jake's pack of wolves and the Volturi found the pack and I found Dad being kept prisoner in Volterra where the Volturi ruled from, and a lot of very complicated things happened but eventually the Volturi were defeated and Mama became Empress."

"It feels weird to have it all summarized like that. I learned about this stuff in class when I was a puppy," snorts Orfeo. "It's like hearing someone summarize World War Two."

"Yes," says Libby, "especially the part where 'a lot of very complicated things happened'."

"A lot of complicated things did happen. We did an entire unit on the Golden Revolution. I made a little diorama," says Orfeo.

Elspeth giggles.

"Cute," Libby says fondly.

"It was adorable. I did my presentation on the kept wolves and I made Rachel out of cottonballs and Becky out of black pompoms."

"Did I write all your textbooks, or was this after Grandma Renée started helping with those?" asks Elspeth.

Permalink

"I don't remember who wrote my textbooks when I was in puppy school, Princess," snorts Orfeo.

James giggles.
