Flames of hope

This chapter is dedicated to @Sacogun!

Left without a choice, Evie spread out her wings and jumped off Onyx's back. A powerful beam of light immediately shot out of her palm, hitting the giant's head right in the temple, just as it was about to attempt to bite Onyx's leg.

The giant fell with that one strike and Onyx instantly took that opportunity flew upwards again after grabbing Evie with his other claw. As if he had known all along that her wings would not be able to flap fast enough in order to get away.

Evie was breathing hard as she watched the giants jumping and leaping, still trying to reach them even when they were already high enough to avoid the giants. Her heartbeat was thudding loudly in her ears. They did it. They actually did it!

Klauz, Queen Beatrice and the vampires were so shocked at what they had just seen. They all felt like they had nearly gotten a heart attack watching their queen pull off that dangerous stunt.
