Elle could not believe just how her body had reacted.
She always knew that no matter how much she trained or how capable she had become, she would never be able to use any of those skills against Brandon Haze and her father and anyone related to them. Because all her body knew when it came to them was to run. It was as though her body had been pre programmed to have that reaction. It was a trained reaction that had been forced into her since long ago that she could not fight back and undo this involuntary reaction. It was kind of pathetic how terrified she was. She should not be terrified of mere humans like them. She was literally living with powerful and dangerous creatures worthy to be feared. Yet nothing would still ever top the intense fear those people were causing her.
