Vines and roots suddenly emerged from the ground. They were just like huge giant snakes that seemingly had their own mind, they slid and moved with such surprising speed. They were unstoppable. Eaton was completely knocked down on the floor by the sudden attack. He didn't have time to grasp the whole thing, or even to react.
He had heard what Lilac was capable of, but never had he imagined to experience such power against him in real life. On top of that, she was not supposed to be awake, under any circumstances. She was supposed to not be able to gain her consciousness on her own. Unless, something happened to Killian, the mind reader.
The delicate looking girl before his eyes was actually threatening as she held such unusual power. Thus, she was more likely capable of crushing his life with her own hands. It was not the right time for Eaton to wonder about the cause of her awakening, because now, his own life was in danger.
