Eron's quiet whimper echoed in the unused room of another building on campus. His entire body shuddered, sweat breaking profusely across his forehead and back. His shaky eyes swept the floor, his face crumpling at the sight of his friends lying motionless.
"Ugh…" one of them grunted, making him turn his head.
The second he did, he locked eyes with his lackey, who was trying to crawl away. The boy reached out in Eron's direction as if begging for help. But then—
STAB!
Something massive plunged deep into the student's back. Eron's breath hitched, watching as his friend shriveled up—not just drained of blood, but of life essence, energy, everything that monster could take.
STAB!
He jolted as he heard another bone cracking, turning his head to his other friend. Just like the first one, something massive plunged into his back. Then, another stab rang out, and another massive shell—like a gigantic black crab claw, but more horrific.
