Stella's P.o.v: Waves of pain ran through my sides and radiated throughout my body,an indescribable pain that I had to endure for the time being.
All thanks to that little bitch.
I felt sick to my stomach for a moment before heaving up a puddle of blood and bile.
"Lady Stella are you feeling alright"
Goliath came to my aid as my loyal servant,I'm glad to have such a faithful ally but I despised him pitying me as if I was a child.
"I'm fine! Go after that little brat and bring me her head!"
"As you wish my mistress" Goliath uttered as he bows to me then runs off to go after the human brat. As I was groveling in pain I heard a loud Meow which came from the window.
I looked to see a ravishing cat with glorious orange fur that shined in the dim light of the setting sun. The small feline was laying on the window sil appearing to dose off

The moment I laid my eyes on the beautiful creature I felt the unbearable hunger pangs worsening and knew what I had to do

The moment I laid my eyes on the beautiful creature I felt the unbearable hunger pangs worsening and knew what I had to do.
I leapt towards the window as fast as my body could possibly move,the small animal tried to jump onto the tree branch it used to jump into the window but I managed to grab it by the tail preventing the earth creature's escape. It wiggled attempting to be set free then preceded to claw at my flesh deeply cutting into my forearms. I didn't let it go,enduring the pain in my arms since I had a worse pain flowing through my body. I held the tiny thing with both hands,then I proceeded to bite into it's neck with all my might. As the little critter let out a final meow I tore out it's jugular with my teeth. I then proceeded to open the feline's abdomen with my bare hands, this allowed me to tear into the thing's organs and devour them.
I could feel my energy return as the critters flesh slid down my throat. The pain I was feeling had completely vanished, I looked at my forearms to see the claw marks on my skin quickly close up until my arm appeared as if the animal's razor sharp nails never even pierced through my skin. I wanted to go after the human brat however I couldn't. After all someone needed to stay near the receiver when the countdown ended......so I had to trust in Ytrurgu and Goliath to take care of the situation.

Will's P.o.v: We ran out of Drake's house as fast as we could to go help Emma. We were in such a rush that there wasn't any time to give Drake's mom a proper bye we all just waved to her and ran out the door which most likely left her confused but she wasn't a priority at the moment.
As we ran down the street I decided that we needed to think of a game plan.
"Amber if Emma is hurt you can heal her right?"
"Well not necessarily my powers have limits" her response was confusing
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Drake asked which was a relief since it saved me the trouble of asking.
"Well for one I can't heal a super serious wound such as if you lost an arm,I could heal the arms nerves if you put the cut off arm on the stump but I can't make a whole new arm and two I can't heal anything that's dead." I was kinda annoyed Amber was just now telling us this since I was under the impression if I got my arm ripped off by a monster she'd be able to heal me which would be incorrect and lead me to bleeding out.
"How do you know you can't heal missing body parts?" Drake asked. I thought that drake was asking too many questions but I was curious for the answer so I didn't say anything.
However Amber's mood seemed to change unexpectedly after he asked the question. She got a really sad look in her eyes that made my heart ache.
"I live with my Grandpa and he's missing one of his legs so of course when I discovered I had these powers I tried to heal his leg but.....it didn't work"
When she said this I realised how little I knew about her,here I was trying to get with this girl yet I barely knew that much about her home life.
"Will call Ashe,we gotta make sure he's okay too plus we can use his help."
Amber said which was a good idea except for the fact that I tried to call him when we were leaving Delanie's house,however I was willing to give it another try.
So I pulled out my phone and dialed Ashe's Number not really expecting an answer but to my surprise and delight he answered.
"Ashe! you're okay! "
"You're Will right?"
"Uh duh don't you recognize my voice?"
Ashe was speaking in a weird tone that he's never spoken before however I recongnized it was his voice so it had to be him.
"Yes of course,where are you?"
"We're going to the abandoned mansion at the edge of town cause Emma is in trouble and she needs our help."
"Okay see you soon"
After that Ashe hung up.
Ashe was acting weird the whole entire call but I figured he went through something while we were separated so I didn't question his odd behaviour.
After all I had more important things to deal with at the moment.
We were getting pretty close to the mansion and I was wondering where Emma was until she popped outta some bushes nearby.
"Emma"?! We all said being surprised by her sudden appearance.
Amber starting crying profusely as she ran at Emma and tackled her into a hug. "Why!? why'd you go alone?!" Amber screamed at Emma which took me and Drake by surprise though it was a reasonable reaction which begs the question of why we got taken by surprise in the first place. Emma opened her mouth to speak but didn't say anything as if she lost her voice. She stared at Amber's furious tearful face for a few seconds before just simply saying
"I'm sorry "
