Take it easy, Regent.
Alright, I guess that confirms who’s controlling Sophia. Nice work, Alec.
So what are Imp’s powers, then?
Bitch managed to scream an order to her dogs before she ‘passed out’, “Go!”
Looks like that thought was the cue for the narration to stop pretending they’re not all acting.
The three newer dogs hesitated, but Angelica didn’t. She huffed out a snarl as she passed them, and the others took her lead and joined her in stampeding down the street until they disappeared from sight.
Ah, smart. This way, when “Shadow Stalker” “arrests” them, “she”’ll have a good explanation for where Bitch’s (note to Regent, remember to call her Hellhound if you’re going to impersonate Sophia) dogs are – they ran away on Bitch’s order.
I laid in the water, aware of how cold it was, trying to ignore how dirty it was. My lenses afforded me an advantage in that I could watch what was going on without my open eyes giving anything away.
Nice.
I saw Shadow Stalker touch her ear, then murmur something. Tattletale had gone over everything Regent needed to know as far as that particular routine and the orders to give.
Tattletale knows how the Wards operate. Taylor knows the girl he’s impersonating, and anything she doesn’t know, Tattle can help fill in with her power. This team is better equipped than most to pull off a plot like this.
I still have no clue what the goal is, but things are coming together a bit.
