Red was in a state of shock. Even as she had said she was ready for what Stella Marie had to say, she still wasn't able to shield herself from the blows of her revelations.
The grandmama she had adored from her childhood until now had betrayed her.
She had tried to convince herself that her grandmama was just forced into making the deal without knowing fully the consequences.

Yet she still shook her hand with the darkness.
She made a deal to exchange Red's soul, her entire being, to the Darkling.
"I can't believe grandmama… she really…" Red whispered so softly that neither Ari was could tell what she had mumbled about. "Why did she even raise me and showed her love all this time? Did grandmama really love me or was it just out of guilt?"
"I am not yet done. There is still one final information that needed to be shared."
