"Stand in my way and I will flay you from head to toe."
Blood slipped out of my mouth as I received a blow on my abdomen. I flew back through the forest lane, eyes on the figure that was shrinking the further I go. I scoffed, catching up to my breathing.
Niall didn't hold back. Despite that, the pain was bearable. I knew he would attack me, but I let him for a good reason. I needed physical contact with him to estimate his strength. It was reckless, but there was no other way.
As I flew away, I immediately recovered from the pain. I used this time and the force pushing me back to recollect my thoughts. Niall was incredibly strong. Although he didn't hold back, I knew he didn't use all his strength.
'He simply let me take a glimpse,' I murmured in my head, taking a deep breath as my eyes narrowed. 'He is eerily strong... stronger than before.'
