"T-Talia?" I muttered, my entire body quivered tremendously, my hold on the candelabra unable to stay firm, and slipping, shattering against the smeared floor.
I wanted to look away and spare my sanity from gazing upon this monstrosity, but I couldn't, I couldn't take my eyes off her. I couldn't.
A deep growl came from behind, my whole body shutting down. I had no idea where I found the bravery to turn.
I caught a shadow perched on the wall like a silent predator with glowing eyes. The wind came in, and the curtains flapped open enough for me to see it was a Lycan in beast form. I could only see its head, and it was more grotesque than the books depicted.
"Y-Your Grace, run!" Osha shouted, but my legs wouldn't move.
The Lycan bellowed and the windows shuddered, and burst, the shards flying around, slashing my body, but I didn't move.
The Lycan leaped and came for me. In my line of vision as it got closer and closer, I realized how large it was.
