Bats Quote by Lisa Mantchev
““Ariel contributed nothing to the speculation, instead crossing his arms one over the other. The action recalled his butterfly familiars from the skies, and they flocked to him with eager wing beats. "Bats!" Moth flailed at the air. "Vampire bats!" "Don't be ridiculous," Peaseblossom said with a sniff. "Vampire bats don't sparkle.””
