Pippa needs to know her secret.

Unfortunately for her, Ink Spill might not know what that secret is yet.

She didn’t kill Ink Spill much to Pippa’s desire to. She still has a purpose for the vicious villain.

Though getting the information she would like from her will be a bit harder now that Pippa used a light (now shadow??) dagger to cut her vocal cords.

Ok….she let her emotions, her grief, blind her. She didn’t exactly know what she going to do before it happened. But at least she didn’t murder Ink Spill. Yet.

“Tell me how to reverse your poison. Then I’ll let you live.”

For the first time since she kidnapped Ink Spill, her eyes widen with fear in them.

Yes, Pippa treated the wound she inflicted, but the villain must not have realized how far into the dark the mighty hero Beacon has fallen. She fears Pippa, and she can’t lie. It feels good. Ink Spill is taking her seriously.

With a paper and a kid pen that has a pom pom at the end of it positioned at her tied-up right hand, she writes.

There is no cure. I never needed one.

“You won’t ever hurt anyone ever again. You won’t ever do what you did to Salen. So tell me,” she demands, conjuring another knife made of pure ebony shadows.

Even under the threat of more harm, Ink Spill calmly scribbles down her response.

_I don’t know of any. _
