Time seemed to slow to a crawl.
But in fact, it hadn't; it was the Bretnar king who was moving at a blistering speed.
And unfortunately, Emily's body wasn't moving fast enough to keep up with the accursed creature.
"Samantha! Watch out!"
The furry creature blurred through the air, reaching the unsuspecting girl in the blink of an eye.
Before her training with Lucian, Morgan and Talia, Samantha wouldn't have stood a chance at holding her ground against the looming monstrosity behind her, let alone even escape it. She would have died in an instant without even realizing what had happened.
But now she was different, different enough to survive for a few moments and wildly track the creature's movement behind her.
Her eyes widened in fear, heart pounding thunderously in her chest.
A surge of adrenaline surged through her, boosting her speed and strength beyond what she was normally capable of.
The fear gave her strength-strength, speed and a clear mind.
