Alec wasn't sure why his spell hadn't worked on Milo, nor why it had aggravated the emotionless monster. But it didn't matter. It was too late to do anything about it.
His body refused to move for some reason. He had already exhausted his skill energy earlier. His mind wasn't stable enough to cast a spell that would work.
But right before Milo could reach Alec with his bloody hands, the young monster fell over face-first, kissing the ground right in front of Alec's feet.
"Wha…?"
Alec looked up from Milo's corpse at the woman standing in the doorway with her arms crossed, leaning against the side of the door.
"Well, this went to shit a lot sooner than expected, but I can't say I'm surprised. I had a feeling you two wouldn't mesh very well," The woman said without a hint of worry or concern over what had just happened.
Alec felt like he had hit his head. He could not understand what was going on.
