Breathing heavily, Nova raised her hand to protect herself from Damien's attack, but she felt none. Slowly, she moved her hand to try and catch a glimpse of Damien. At the sight of Damien, Nova screamed. She recoiled in terror as she saw Damien scrubbing blood off the ground.
The blade went deep into his throat. Nova shook with fear and scrambled quickly to safety, her clothes drenched in blood.
"What the hell happened? Ember, Ember!"
Nova bellowed as she made her way toward Ember's cottage.
When Ember emerged from the cottage, Nova jumped to her feet and tumbled to the ground. Ember rushed to Nova and held her up.
"What happened, Nova? Why are you covered in blood?" Ember inquired as she led Nova inside her cottage.
Nova was frightened, trembling uncontrollably and unable to think of anything to do.
"Dammmien, hh-ee is de-ad" Nova stammered, still trembling from Damien's death.
