"Care to explain how all of this happened?"
Evelina pinned me down on the rubble, far more assertive than usual. It was probably Fiona's obsessive love bleeding into her already possessive one, mixed with the thrill of being revived in a new body. It was clearly getting to her.
"I made a deal with Beelzebub to revive Fiona."
"And…?"
"I guess he decided to have fun with the terms—and threw in an extra soul."
I didn't know if I should feel relieved or furious. Fiona was technically alive… but I wasn't even sure if this really counted as living.
"A-Are you…?"
The words caught in my throat. Had I failed again in this life? I didn't understand how soul merging actually worked, and from where I was lying, it looked less like being brought back to life and more like being trapped in someone else's body.
"You make a fair point."
Evelina smirked. Her hand rested on my chest, and that alone was enough for her to read my thoughts using magic.
