Bab 209: Death and Despair [6]

An elongated arm of the Abomination pierced Susan. Going through her the arm had barely touched the forehead of Nathan.

With a sharp pull, the Abomination retracted its arm, a rainbow-colored flame at the end of it, causing Nathan and Susan to fall.

"N..no, you can't die…" Susan dragged herself to Nathan, blood seeping from her grievous wounds. "You p-promised to save me…d-don't die."

Her inwards spilled outwards, her vitality slowly diminishing away. 

A trickle of tears came down her eyes as she tried to shake Nathan away. He had no injuries, and with Susan taking the brunt of the attack, his body was in pristine condition. However, Nathan never responded.

His eyes had lost their shine and were dull monotonous grey. The Abomination might not have injured Nathan physically but Nathan had lost something much more important.
