Chapter 345
"Ready?"
"No," Amelia shook her head. "But I am not going to turn back now after we spent months planning for this. Just hold my hand for now."
Killian held Amelia’s hand as she wanted to help calm her nerves. It was scary to turn from a human to demon, but she was handling it quite well. "It will be over fast and you will be unconscious for most of it. When you wake up, you will get to see Mara."
"No. When I wake up I want to make sure everything is fine before I go near our daughter. You are to not bring her near me until it is for certain that the change has gone right. Now I know exactly how my mother felt to stay away instead of telling me she was alive. Let’s get this started now so I can see Mara soon," Amelia said, taking a deep breath to get rid of her fears.
Amelia and Killian returned to the north in the middle of the night, to start the ritual that would turn her into a demon. Mara stayed with Anne and everyone else in the Blackwell castle while they were here in the north. There was a risk of Amelia not handling the change well so Mara was to stay far away from Amelia for now.
Amelia stared at the large door of the room picked to perform the ritual. "Why couldn’t Lucifer just snap his fingers and make me a demon? Why did we need to do so much preparation?" Amelia asked.
She would have expected the devil to be able to just turn anyone into a demon at his will.
"The other Gods feared there would be too many demons created so there is an oath Lucifer took to not be able to just snap his finger and make as many demons as he likes. It needs to be a ritual and Lucifer doesn’t like preparing to do it so it is not done often."
"It is only easy for him and many demons to place demons in a human’s body after they just died. It is the trick your grandmothers used to bring back your mother," Killian explained, pushing open the door for Amelia to go inside.
