to land on her feet and keep her balance in a perfect landing. She
stood, brushing herself off, pleased with herself.Which was exactly when the tumbling ball of wool, spines, and legs

when it didn’t get off her fast enough.Baaasly baaed at her reproachfully as they scrambled to their feet and backed away from the tiny vampire.

wool out of her mouth.“Okay, knock it off you two,” she called back at them when their
shoving threatened to turn into a scuffle. Planting her hands on her
