Beth's POV
"She's hurt. I must save her."
Lance's eyes were filled with madness. He grinned and stared at my body. I felt that something was wrong, since the lower part of my body was getting numb. I looked down only to see roots coming out of the ground. They wrapped around my legs, climbed up my ankles, restrained me in place, and sucked my blood through the thorns that had pierced my legs. He had been stalling!
Lance's superficial hesitation and struggle were just his attempt to distract my attention, making me overlook the roots. He wanted to steal my blood and use it to save Emma. The Dark Moon Goddess needed my blood to restore her power. I tried to break free, angrily tearing the roots that wrapped around me. However, the roots regrew in the blink of an eye, as if they couldn't be hurt whatsoever, which annoyed me.
"Alright then! We shall be doomed together!" I growled.
