'Focus. This fight had just started, so I need to focus now.'
Rachael told herself this, but she began feeling scared of her powers. A solid part of the array had disappeared, but so had the dorm room. Soon, her powers would devour places further away from this enemy.
The black fog that consumed the spell felt hungry. It was tugging to Rachael to feed it more. The hunger felt never-sating.
'I cannot tell if this hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach is mine or the fog. It is making my head spin.'
The world was going in and out of consciousness slowly. Rachael felt her heart beating painfully in her chest. The fog escaped the door before Rachael felt someone smack on the back of her neck.
The sudden sensation snapped her out, and that was enough for the chloroform to knock her out. Her consciousness faded, and Luka sighed out in relief. He had managed to escape his death by a thin margin.
