"Ahhhh!" Phoenix screamed. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at Damon as if she was seeing a devil and started backing away. "Let go of me. Don't… Let go of me. Don't touch me. Ahhh." She ripped her robe and started tearing her clothes. "You cannot touch there. Let go. Let go." She then fell on the floor, curled up, and started gasping and moaning loudly.
Damon's face twitched. What the hell was going on here? His pain was under control now, but it looked like the others were completely out of it. Phoenix was arching her back and convulsing on the ground, still trying to tear off her clothes. Blood Wraith was staring at the wall in horror.
Damon let out a sigh and looked around him. More and more roots erupted from the ground, attempting to coil around their limbs like serpents eager to drag them under. The air reeked of ichor and decay.
Damon's crimson gaze narrowed. "Tch. Annoying."
