Tania thought that since it was just a stem, she would be able to snap it, but she was surprised when she touched the black tendril. It vibrated with strange power and shot up her leg. She could feel its vibrations right up to her chest. Something inside her swirled with disgust.
"Tania!" Eltanin shouted as he tried to yank the weed from her leg, but the more he tried, the more the tendril tightened around her leg, digging into her flesh. Pain surged through her leg rapidly. She found herself rooted to the spot and she looked angrily at the weed. On the inside she knew that if she didn't get out of the weed soon, she was going to be trapped in it forever. Glenn came forward and he too tried to yank the weed but the stem thickened, hissing as it crawled towards her thighs.
"Leave it," she ordered. "The more you will try to pull it out, the more it is going to grow."
