Chapter 39 - To Trick the Devil

Meredith tried everything she could come up with, but in the end, there was no way out of making this deal with Satan. As always, Lucifer would win, getting what he wanted. There was just no way Meredith could sacrifice Seraphine for herself, no matter how desperately Meredith wanted to remain in Black Hollow. She couldn’t allow Lucifer’s jealousy of Seraphine to ruin the town, and Meredith knew if something ever happened to the founder of their community, it would have drastic effects on the whole town, quite possibly ruining the protective spell around Black Hollow. Meredith would not allow herself to be the cause of such a catastrophe. She had come to care about the townfolk too much for that.
