Aery gasped and spluttered when the water touched her lips, remembering the icy rush and the sensation of drowning. But then she had a reality check. The room was too warm, the bed too soft, the water wasn't frigid, and there was just a little of it and not a rush. So she let some of it into her mouth, wincing as it trickled down her raw throat.
"No, Celaena. I deserved it for being careless. I just... I wish I could have been strong like you." A tear snaked down her cheek and she hissed as the salty water got into one of the cuts on her face. She shivered slightly. "I-i-i'm s-scared, Celaena. I-i told them e-everything." She jerked bolt upright in the bed, then gasped in pain and fell over again. "The little ones. Celaena, they know where we were staying! The little ones!"

But the girls were fine, if you ignore the fact that Ame was having an utter mental breakdown. The two guards went to the house, to find the girls sleeping. They grabbed Silly first, and when Ame opened her eyes to see Silly with a knife to her throat, she snapped. Her eyes went hard and first the guard holding Silly, then the other, fell over dead with blood leaking out of their noses, mouths, and ears.
"Yer eyes, Ame! They be fire!" Silly exclaimed.
"What, what's wrong with my eyes? Oh my god. Oh my god, Silly. Not again. Not again not again not again no no no nononononono!" She covered her eyes, for surely it was her eyes that was the bad thing, that killed so many people. Tears spilled down her cheeks. "I never wanted to kill anyone! I never wanted to kill anyone, no, no, I'm not a murderer, Silly, I'm not."
"It's a-right, Ame. They wanted to kill me, didn'tya see? They wanted me to be bleedin' to death righ' now. An' you stopped 'em. Yer a hero, Ame, no' a murderer."
