"But we can talk about that later on," said Killian. "For now, let's start with your name."
Still tremoring from head to toe, the witch licked her split lips and winced slightly. "My name is Macie."
"Macie," echoed Killian with a bland smile. "That's a lovely name. I don't hear such names a lot these days. Well, Macie, tell me what and why you were trying to do by kidnapping Inez? I don't think your boss wanted her for a cup of tea or an invitation would have sufficed."
"It was just a job, nothing personal," replied the witch in a shaky voice. "A wizard came to me and said that if I brought her with me, then I could have the protection of the Great One. You don't know how it is to live in the human world while being chased and hunted down by your kind. So naturally I took the job."
"I swear I never wanted to hurt her because they wanted that woman to be intact."
