Chapter 302
"You can wait out here Edith. Should I bring you a chair or-"
"It is fine. I would rather be standing in case someone tries attacking your room. If there is anything you need, please call upon me and I will get Gina for you," Edith said, pushing Amelia into her room.
"Where has Gina run off to?" Amelia asked, looking down the hall where Gina should show up. "I didn’t think she would want to be away from us right now. It is still dangerous for her."
Edith continued to push Amelia inside her room. Amelia kept stopping to speak of the most irrelevant things so she could prolong having to go inside her bedroom. "She went off somewhere arguing with Alastor. She knows this castle better than I do so she will be able to find her way back here without finding herself in danger. You must go inside."
"I am going. My mother and Lilith are already pushing me away from the throne room. I didn’t think you would join them, Edith. I could have at least watched from afar what they were doing. How do I even get Killian to return to speak with me? I have never done this before," Amelia said.
Killian was far away from where she stood in the Blackwell castle. How was she supposed to get him to know that she wanted to speak with him now?
"Demons are sort of sensitive to the people they have bedded. There is a mark we leave on each other. Something like what werewolves do, but with less of the deep connection crap and having one soul mate. Just long for him or force yourself to be really sad and he shows up. I will not let you out of this room until a few hours have passed. Do not think of the castle and rest," Edith said, closing the door right after.
Amelia sighed and rested her head on the door. Everyone was hellbent on trapping her inside her room. The last time she was here, she had been burning from the holy water Margaret had fallen on her and Killian. It was hard to believe that it happened this morning.
So much had happened from the moment she woke up with Killian being attacked by the priests, him killing them and the men Fraser hired, her sitting on the throne, the underworld opening its gates, her mother’s return and now her grandmother had turned to a toad.
