Vaslavis Clan: The Past (12)

It didn't take Fraley long to recognize whose head was within the enemy's hand. It was one of the children who were in Neverio's group, Yarkel. 

Trepidation dominated over Fraley and the other woman's senses. Though they wanted to confront the enemy, they couldn't make a single move. Just by the enemy's aura alone, the two women could tell that they would be subdued in no time. 

Finding it hard to breathe, Fraleyclutched her chest tightly. She took a few steps back and looked around to see if there was something she could use as a weapon. 

The other woman, on the other hand, was bedeviled by the enemy's presence. She couldn't summon the courage to do anything. 

They could have chosen to transform into their beast forms. Withal, they were not in the proper state of mind to do so. They had been starving themselves as well to allow the children to have a sufficient food supply.
