She backed away, laughing nervously, until her back collided with the carriage.
The demon made no delay in following her.
"Your Highness!" Madison's voice shot out.
"No, Madison! Do not come out!"
Gwyneth heaved, terrified, her eyes fixed on the approaching demons. With her second hand, she clutched her dress as she aimed the gun at them one more time, shooting without pausing.
Unexpectedly, one of them seized her arm, forcefully digging his claws into her flesh and drawing her in his direction.
Gwyneth screamed and burst into tears, her body yielding to the demon's grasp without resistance, overwhelmed by the unbearable pain that consumed her.
