BEHEADED

The blood spattered across the floor and then over their faces as the head became still.

He just stared in absolute horror and gore.

To think that this had been Jasmine .

He felt his stomach twist with uneasiness and he held it.

"Do not throw up." Erik said as he now stepped back from the dead creature.

Xaden manned up and swallowed it down to dissolve any feeling of nausea.

"W-why did it come for only me?" Xaden questioned. "All the men were still asleep and I was the only one who wandered away was I not?"

"The Ryilat feasts on your deepest desires. Your desire to see Jasmine and have her with you was obviously very strong. Stronger than all the other wolves around." Erik said as he crossed over the decapitated body.

"It was going to lure you into the forest." Erik said. "Thank the gods that I got you on time."

"How did you know I was in trouble?" Xaden asked.
