" Isiea i really think you should listen to him. "

"What we do next is entirely up to you two. There are human families that have raised changelings as their own, though they are usually unaware of the child's true nature. Generally speaking, if you feed it and leave it alone, it will settle into its new home without too much trouble. Changelings make a nuisance of themselves at first, but most families adapt." Robbie grinned, but it was an attempt at lightheartedness rather than humor. "Hopefully your folks will think he's just going through a late terrible twos."

"Shut up or tell me how to kill it!" She snaps, in no mood for fun facts.

"Well..." Rob looked hesitant and scratched the back of his neck. "The only other way is to travel into the faery lands and take Ethan back. Bringing the real child into the home again will force the changeling to leave. But..." he paused, as if on the verge of saying something, only to think better of it.

She thinks for a moment. "Go find something with iron in it. I'm pretty sure it's iron that it'll be sensitive to, if I'm remembering right."

"But that won't bring Ethan back. He'll still be stuck in Faery."

"Shut up and go grab one of the kitchen knives. An iron one."

" isiea we need to focus on finding Ethan not getting rid of it. Our brother is more important than that thing! "

"And, I have a guess as to where Ethan may be."

"knife! Now!" She snaps.
