Honestly, I really thought we would have enough time to help Helanie with everything. How did the curse trigger again so quickly? I could sense my mother's filthy claws all over this. But since everyone was staring at Lucy, I turned my focus on her too.
"Lucy, what's going on?" I asked, confused.
"Those entities, Zo and Za—I know who they were." She pressed a hand to her chest. Maybe because she'd been out of her body for so long, it took her a while to explain things to us. Of course she knew what others were up to, at least the entities.
"Yeah, Lucy, I'll definitely sit down with you later and make sure we record everything about those monsters for the books. But right now, we just want to find Helanie." I tried to sound gentle.
