The black shadow started to surround all of them. It slowly encased the group until finally, the whole area around them was filled with purple shadows.
"Damn it! We're all going to die." Layla said.
But then Erin noticed that the Dalki was also looking around in confusion at the shadows, as if it was something unknown to it. "No look, it seems like the Dalki is just as confused as we are, that's probably why it's not attacking us right now."
It wasn't unusual for someone to be afraid of the unknown, and right now, the Dalki was seeing something it had never seen before. It got into a crouching position and was prepared for whatever was to come.
