For a second, darkness threatened to swallow his consciousness.
But then a single name flashed through his mind.
'Ivy… Ivy will help me…'
Clinging desperately to that thought, Damien turned around and began running toward the base entrance as fast as his shaking legs allowed.
Not far away, Felix stood silently beside Annie's mother, who had already fainted.
Even though the entity now had control over her body, Felix knew it would still take time before the superior being could completely dominate it. The possession was not instantaneous.
Felix remained quiet for a moment as realization slowly dawned on him.
Without hesitation, he immediately bound Annie's mother's hands and feet tightly.
Just as he prepared to drag her body away from the location, a figure suddenly rushed toward him.
Felix's eyes sharpened instantly.
He recognized the person at once.
It was James.
