Chapter 75: Unfamiliar

"Gavriel!!!" Evie screamed. 

She did not know how she managed to even force out a reaction to make any sounds at that very moment. Fear had seemed to paralyze her body and mind and yet the name that came out of her lips before she even realized it, her instinctual response in calling out for help in times of danger, was still his. She remembered belatedly that it was the same response she gave too when the beast attacked her in that Little Forest back at his castle. Whenever she thought that she was in grave peril or felt as if the situation was one that she was going to die, it was Gavriel's name that her lips would call out.

Still hearing the echo of his name reverberating around her, Evie realized that she had fallen backwards and collapsed onto the ground.

She realized that nothing had touched her yet but the extreme force of what seemed to be an aura of bloodlust and deadly power had forced her to fall over on her own.
