I grabbed her ar us both to a halt "We need to leave This is beyond weird now and has entered the real ourselves and everyone here at risk by staying" I expected a snarl or a snort froht This is"
A long, drawn-out le one of us froze in position A few seconds later, there was another moan; it was filled with pain, hopelessness, and misery Technically, such a sound should have made me want to run to that person’s rescue
It didn’t
Instead, it madeSoish that their feet were dragging against the ground as they moved
I wasn’t sure what I expected to see when that person finally rounded the head of the junction, but it wasn’t the sight before aunt, skeletal, and e red eyes looked like they had been sucked inward and e was visible, his shoulder blades were sticking out, and he had a greyish, translucent complexion Basically, he looked like a skeleton with a layer of skin stretched over it And there was only one thing that ood "Evan, don’t go any closer"
But eithersuicidal or he had no idea just how dangerous a starving vaori What I wanted to do was order everyone to hold hands and then teleport us all out of there, but I couldn’t reach Evan to grab hi hi et the fk out of here Don’t take your eyes off him And whatever you do, unless he leaps at you, don’t run" They each followed my co to move forward "Evan, what the fk?"
"He’s starving, Jared, he needs blood, get over here"
Clearly Evan had never been near a starving vaerous He’ll attack you"
"Attackto pieces – he doesn’t have the strength to take"You’d be surprised just how strong and fast a vaht now, he’s desperate So noring hed and took a step backwards That hen the varound, hisdown his blood so strongly it was sickeningly audible
Before I could react, one of Sa him burst into ashes with a screa him from the floor As I’d expected, the bite was bad The vampire had al thirst "You okay?"
Evan put pressure against the badly bleeding wound with his hand "No"
"Well, that explained why no one came" When a varadually dulled until they were even less acute than huly took over as their need for survivalrationality, reason, and civilisation That hy they were also unable to focus enough to use their gifts
I tensed as the ground see sta our way Clearly the racket we’d just ained us so toward us, ere doo to order everyone to hold onto one another so I could teleport us all outside That hen I noticed that not only was there a big gap between us and the others – who had clearly continued followingat ing down the other end of the tunnel, heading for theifts, David, Chico, and Sale vae of the distance still between them At the saain and again Having faith that they could all handle themselves for now and do what they had been trained to do, I joined Evan and Sa with the flock of va with energy balls, energy bolts, and ther every vampire that ca the, nothing Mere milliseconds after the vampires were frozen, they exploded into ashes
I joined the fight; sending charge after charge after charge of electricity from my hands But there were just so damn many of them that even our combined efforts couldn’t keep theet too close, Sa the vampire to bounce away But they weren’t deterred; they continued to charge at us Sah to enco over it like ants
"Bollocks to this," she gritted out A blast of wind flew out of her palh the air until they collided with the wall at the end of the tunnel She then swiftly tapped into the natural ele the earth to quickly build a wall to block the tunnel "It won’t hold theht; no sooner had the tunnel sealed shut than the as being charged at "Quick, go, go, go!"
Turning, I took in the sight in front of us Butch had for it to protect Sale vah to act as a barrier, and so yellowy-green ooze out of his thu theht off others But still so into Stuart’s aret free Another had its teeth buried in Max’s throat as Cristiano attacked it fro he’d conjured – nice gift Ava was fighting off a third and, daht; tiny Ava could take care of herself Apparently that didn’t uy suddenly turned, looped an arainst his chest, and sent a lethal psychic punch hurling at her attacker
