Mister Kaille,” he finally said, the word “conjurer”<br />

sounding awkward coming from his mouth. “If she was<br />

killed by witchery, chances are you’re the one who did<br />

it. I should call for Sheriff Greenleaf right now.”<br />

“Then do,” Ethan told him. “If you really believe I<br />

did it, then you’re right: You should have me hanged. A<br />

killing spell…” He faltered, his eyes stinging at the<br />

thought of Pitch. “It’s a relatively painless way to die,<br />

but it’s murder nevertheless. If I had done this, I would<br />

deserve whatever punishment you could imagine. But I<br />

didn’t.”<br />

“I’m a speller who is trying to prevent another<br />

tragedy. Consider what I’m telling you, Mister Caner.<br />

the other murders this conjurer committed. He used her<br />

death to cast another spell. And while I don’t know for<br />

they have some larger purpose. That’s why you must<br />

trust me, even though I’m a conjurer. I’m the only<br />

person who can stop him.”
