248 TAMBOURINES AND DANCE

Zhang continued to laugh as he spoke, not noticing that the amount of energy he was sucking from Lexine did not seem to be depleting.

Lexine's eyes were still glazed over, as she remembered the way she had lost her mother.

She had been unable to do anything to help her mother and had remained on the sidelines, as she watching her mother's head being pulled from her body.

She was...

Weak.

Lexine choked on her saliva once again, but she was unable to stop the tears from trickling down her face this time.

She glared down at the drakkon who had caused this, directing all the anger she could towards him.

'Yes. It was him.'

She realized.

He was the one who had hurt her Ceeret. He was the one who had hurt her best friend. Knowing that she was weak. He bullied her best friend.

With this thought in mind, as if she had been possessed, she raised the hand that was holding her tambourines, and harshly brought it down.
