'no... no, no, no, No, No, NO, NO, NO!'
"TOR!"
Skyla whipped around to see Lukas but by the time she caught his gaze, time had begun to rewind.
'No, no, no, no, no, I have to do something. Anything!'
When he returned, it didn't matter. He couldn't run any faster and he was too far.
"SKYLA, WATCH OUT!"
She heard him, but it only served to confuse her, leading to the same end result. He couldn't stop it, he failed to warn her. The present played out all the same, like an everlasting string of fate.
He reeled from the shock of failure. His mind went blank and he nearly stopped dead in his tracks. But instead, he gritted his teeth and pushed his legs harder into the ground. Drawing his tachi as he ran, a slow deep breath flowed through his lips.
In only seconds, he was in front of Skyla and one of the ghast's whip-like arms was gone.
"Call for help while I hold it off!"
"You can't-"
