Seed of Curiosity

Skyla's body twitched as she put out her trembling hand and struggled to stand up. She swayed on her feet as she held her abdomen and leaned against the tree. She pursed her trembling lips and looked at Tristan with a ghastly expression. 

She was at loss, wondering what she should do next. It took all of her remaining strength to stand up and face the monster. Looking at the furious vampire walking towards her, with his aura swirling around him, she knew instantly that it was impossible to defeat him. 

'At least not the way I am now' she mumbled 

Even if she could access Ezekiel's power or follow her instincts on how to fight, she knew she couldn't win with just those. She needed talent to begin with. 

She was beginning to lose her touch and Tristan was getting stronger and used to her attacks each second.

Skyla snapped out of her thoughts when she saw Tristan's feet stop right in front of her. Lifting her eyes, she met his hostile glare.
