Weakness

Evie's brows knotted in confusion as she stared at her now bleeding arms. She had suffered small cuts and bruises, there was even a small cut on her cheek. She then felt her knees weaken, as if she was suddenly beyond tired.

"Princess, I think you should go back into the water for now." Leon said in haste and upon seeing the other men struggling to keep themselves from approaching the source of the tantalising scent, Evie quickly turned and soaked herself into the waters again. She was more concerned for the men's struggles in withholding themselves. Because she was well aware it must be torturous for them.

Her wounds healed and the scent was gone again. The vampires all let out a deep shaky and very much relieved breath. That was close!

Then they all looked at each other. Worry was now filling their eyes. They didn't understand what was going on with the princess.
