Chapter 330
"You!" Cyrus exclaimed, moving to get Killian’s hand out of Jahi, but his body froze before he could get two steps close to doing anything. His body felt paralyzed and it could only be the work of Killian.
"Don’t," Killian warned Cyrus as he dug his hand further into Jahi’s chest to end her life. "I gave the two of you time to talk. I have better things to do than wait here for you to convince her to leave."
The two of them kept talking in circles, saying things Killians heard before. Why waste more time talking when Jahi could just die? Amelia’s problem was now gone.
Jahi stood wide-eyed as a sensation instead of pain filled her body. She felt drained like he was stealing all her energy from her body the more he pushed his hand into her. She could not find the strength in her body to fight him because of the weakness that overcame her body. She could only gasp and wince as he dug deeper and the pain finally came.
Her body felt lighter when Killian started to pull out his hand and she felt him pulling something along with him. There was so much more she wanted to say about Amelia and how Killian was failing his demons. They had a chance to wipe out the Blackwells, but Killian was wasting just to love a human who might one day turn on him.
"Cyrus," Jahi whispered, looking to him for help. Her eyes fluttered for a moment before they finally closed.
Killian didn’t see how it could have been hard for Cyrus to catch this woman, but then again, they were both lowly demons. Both with no special talents other than being able to heal like every other demon in the underworld.
"She did not have to die," Cyrus said through gritted teeth. He fought to break out of whatever Killian placed him in. He closed his eyes to avoid watching life leave Jahi’s body. For demons like them, there was no coming back after this.
Jahi didn’t have a soul for her to enter the underworld like humans and other creatures when they died. There was no chance for her to be reborn either. That was not a gift granted to demons. They simply just die.
