Horrors: The Three Vs The Skivoks 2

Edith gritted her teeth, trying to push herself up, but the pain was excruciating, and the poison coursing through her veins was sapping her strength. The Skivok prepared for another strike, its glowing eyes locked onto her vulnerable form.

Karla's panic turned to fury. With a sharp cry, she lashed out with her water whip, the tendrils snapping through the air like thunder. The whip coiled around the Skivok's neck, yanking it backward before it could deliver the killing blow.

"You won't touch her again!" Karla shouted, channeling all her energy into her magic. The water tendrils tightened like a vice, and with a flick of her wrist, she slammed the creature into a nearby tree.

The Skivok screeched, clawing at the tendrils, but Karla's determination didn't waver. She glanced at Edith, whose breathing had grown labored. "Robin! I need cover now!" she yelled, her voice breaking slightly under the strain.
