Borrowed Power

Seeing that Alice was back, Ria felt warmth in her heart yet she was also scared.

"Why did you come back?!" Ria shouted, but Alice ignored her.

She had grabbed a random chunk of debris to act as a weapon for now since she couldn't touch the fire directly.

Pushing against the debris, she swung her head back and drank all of the blood in an instant.

"!!!"

Feeling the swell of power within her body, Alice gritted her teeth and spat the vial towards his face. Jumping back, she grabbed Ria and started to run into the forest.

"Why did y-"

"Shut up! Just promise me one thing. Whatever you see from now on, you better keep it a secret." Alice squeezed out through gritted teeth. It was a little different than what she had expected. It was as though her body was changing from the inside out to suit the power she had borrowed with the blood.
