Talia roughly dragged, half-carried Lucian away from the clearing.
Lucian gritted his teeth, bearing through the agony of the sudden jarring movements.
"Come on, surely you can move much faster than this!" Talia hissed.
Lucian rolled his eyes despite the agonizing state of his body.
"You think I'm having fun?"
The dark spectral wolves slowly stalked forward as though they knew the prey could only get so far.
Talia skilfully shot at the wolves in front of them, clearing a path.
The wolves she'd shot down dissolved into a dark mist, materializing again a moment later.
"Crap!"
The path she had cleared was quickly barred once more.
The ghostly creatures slowly surrounded them, shutting off any path of escape.
Lucian sighed.
"Your bullets are obviously not having any effect; stop wasting your ammo."
"Then what do you suggest we do?" she snarled.
A mischievous grin appeared on his face, his eyes gleaming in the darkness.
"Wait for it..."
