— Nice walk...—Cornelius said, accelerating his pace a little and sniffing as he went.— There is someone else here! We need to check it out...—

— Where? I don't see anyone...—Adrian began, but Cornelius immediately pulled us into one big bush.

— It was unpleasant!—Adrian hissed.— Don't grab my hair, I don't like it! —

— Look...—Cornelius pointed into the distance.— This guy shouldn't see us.… They parasitize and decompose protein in the human body...—

When I saw the one Cornelius was so afraid of, my skin was covered with goosebumps.

This… It was a monstrously gigantic grasshopper!

My only phobia…

Someone picked me up.

The fingers are much thinner than Cornelius or Ryan's… It must be Adrian!

—Hold Adrianna, and I'll take care of this... creature...— said Cornelius somewhere nearby.

It seems he's using his powers again.…

— Are you afraid of grasshoppers?—Adrian asked, putting his hands on my temples.
