Creatures of the Night
Chapter 21 - must we be so brave?
(TW: blood/injury, near drowning)
“Hold on, Virgil!” Roman shouted, frantically digging at the dirt around his waist. Ursula was gone, but her spell held fast. Perhaps it was because he was her familiar. Perhaps she was just that powerful. Regardless, the gashes were climbing to Virgil’s shoulders and neck, licking the underside of his jaw like flames. Blood ran from every wound, trailing down his arms and dripping from his shirt. He snatched his jacket and turned out the pockets, going pale.
