Chapter 175

• Sheila's point of view
• I still haven't recovered from the shock from earlier when I was at the Council. The dagger had burned me. But why?
• Adie came up with the umpteenth reason why, but none of it made sense why the dagger burnt me. I plopped down on the bed in Killian's chamber. I had left the Council and came back home to prepare for the ritual tonight. Even though deep down, I knew that was just a lie, and I could tell Valerie suspected it. At that time, I just wanted to leave that place.
