Chapter 134: Know You Enemy

Damon moved through the darkness of the evil forest with an unnerving grace. The oppressive gloom of the night, coupled with the dangerous flora, was of no consequence to him. He swung effortlessly from tree to tree using his omnidirectional gear, navigating the treacherous environment as though it were a well-trodden path.

Yet, amidst his confident progress, two things gnawed at him.

The first was the maddening hunger clawing at his very being. It whispered insidiously in his mind, urging him to turn back and slaughter Evangeline, to let his shadow feast on her flesh and soul. The mere thought brought an involuntary shudder.

The second was far more haunting—the lingering image of Sylvia's expression as he eliminated her.

Damon shook his head violently, as if the act could rid him of such thoughts.

 "Stop thinking about her," he muttered to himself, his voice a harsh rasp.
