Tate woke up — and felt instantly on alert. Would Amelia try to wrest control of her body away from her? Because that wasn’t happening.
<> Charlie was saying as Tate tuned in to a conversation that apparently hadn’t stopped the entire time she was sleeping.
Amelia didn’t respond.
Charlie chuckled. <
<> Yago said.
<> Charlie said merrily.
“Why isn’t Amelia talking?” Tate asked shortly as she eased herself into a sitting position. She was in a bad mood. Very bad. The pain in her leg was immense.
<> Yago said wearily.
“Why?” Tate tried stretching her leg straight out, but that only made the pain worse.
<> Yago said.
“I can’t disagree there,” Tate said.
Charlie laughed strangely. <>
“Speaking of hunger,” Tate said shortly. “We need to talk about Duncan.”
<> Charlie asked.
“Where do you think he is?” Tate said as patiently as possible.
<> Charlie said confidently. <>
“But the hunger,” Tate said. “He’ll come after us — me — eventually, won’t he?”
<> Charlie said. <>
<> Amelia said.
There was a short pause during which Tate silently willed Yago to keep his mouth shut. She wanted — they needed — Amelia’s help.
“What makes you say that?” Tate asked as steadily as possible. She couldn’t imagine Amelia was very happy about losing control of her body. She was braced for an attack; she was ready to fight Amelia off if it came to that. She wondered if she should try to talk to Amelia, set some ground rules — or if that would just add to the hostilities.
<> Amelia said evenly. <>
“Okay, so let’s be ready,” Tate said. “Obviously, fighting him isn’t going to work. None of us can control the Mouth.”
<> Charlie asked.
<> Amelia asked snidely.
<> Yago snapped. <>
“How can we slow him down?” Tate demanded, deliberately cutting them both off.
Heavy silence.
“Amelia, Charlie, don’t you know anything about these — these things?” Tate asked impatiently.
<> Amelia asked grumpily.
“You were one!” Tate said.
<> Amelia reminded her. <>
<> Yago asked slowly. <>
<> Amelia said thoughtfully. <>
“You’re saying we should — what? Remove oxygen from the air?” Tate repeated.
<> Amelia said.<>
<> Charlie asked.
<?f Amelia said reasonably. <>
