Chapter 286

Edith kept her head low, both disappointed and angered by her actions. She had gotten ahead of herself and almost went against what Amelia wanted. If Killian had not shown up, she would have taken Margaret's life. 

Now that Edith had somewhat calmed down, she noticed how easily Margaret was accepting death. 

"Kill me and get it over with," Margaret said to Killian. She knew he was itching to do it just as much as Amelia's guard wanted to do it. 

Killian smiled, entertained by her ordering him around. It was not fun to kill someone who desperately wanted to die. "Not yet," he answered, turning to face Amelia.  "Are you alright?" He asked.

"Demons are walking around not affected by holy water and I am affected by it. Twice," Amelia held up two fingers. What had she done to deserve this? "It should be thrown at you not me. At least pretend like you are hurt so I am not hurting alone."
