Katherine let her fingertips fall away from her temple as her gaze drifted to Mina in the hopes she hadn¡¯t made a mistake in trusting the other woman with her story. Her initial response to the question was a single nod. ¡°Yes. It¡¯s Elisabeta. At? the start it was her who you were speaking with then it sort of went back and forth as we each fought for control.¡±
?
She cursed not being able to go after a Travelers knife herself but if her search led her to someone who was loyal to Vlad then they¡¯d utter the magic word and she¡¯d be locked away inside her own body again. ¡°Allies of her husband were concerned he¡¯d become ¡®unhinged¡¯ following her death so they worked out a deal with the Travelers who captured me. The next thing I knew she was a passenger inside my body.¡±
?
There was a look of relief in her eyes when it seemed she¡¯d made the right call when choosing to share everything with Mina. ¡°I just...need someone to find a Travelers knife and to stab me with said knife. It only kills the passenger. If that happens I get my life back.¡± At times she questioned whether she wanted to go back to a life on the run from the psychopath who slaughtered her entire family.
?
¡°It¡¯s hard to say who he was after because she¡¯d taken to using my name to cover for one of the times I regained control. But I had sent word to the man whom her husband masquerades as in the hope he¡¯d be willing to help me since we have both had our lives stolen so to speak. I suppose it could have been him but I cannot be sure.¡±
?
The doppelg?nger shifted as she let her other hand drop back down at her side as she carefully studied the woman for any indication of what she might be thinking outside of what appeared to be nervousness. ¡°She was able to take control after a spell the Travelers used to as they call it ¡®passenger¡¯ her inside of me. Once that was done and they called her forth she had taken over my body.¡±
?
She cast a quick look around to be sure none of the Travelers were about. ¡°No. It isn¡¯t commonly practice in the supernatural world.¡± To be honest she¡¯d never heard of it being done other than by the Travelers themselves.?
