Can't We Catch A Break?
It took Theresa a few moments before she realized that Mike wasn't running anymore.
Her eyes were still trained on the utterly massive creature that looked in the distance, its abominable vines whipping through the air at absurd speeds, occasionally creating loud 'cracks' not too dissimilar from the sound of thunder.
But it wasn't chasing them anymore.
Theresa let out a large sigh of relief and was about to disentangle herself from Mike when his aura abruptly stopped its release... and Mike fell over.
Such a thing shouldn't have caught her by surprise as it wasn't overly fast, but she simply hadn't been expecting it, and she let out a soft 'oof' when Mike fell forward, and her back thudded against the ground.
'Is he okay?' Her surprise turned into worry. The speed he'd moved at was something else, and she'd never seen him move in such a way before. Granted, she didn't know about all his capabilities, but that had to have been taxing, right?
