It wasn’t so much of a bite- more of a chunk, really. Axel’s fangs had torn a lot of skin off Brent’s neck, severing the necromancer’s artery and releasing so, so, so much blood. Behind Brent was Hailey, covering her face with both hands, crying. Time froze then for a while, with Brent holding his neck as blood coated his chin and clothes; with Hailey halfway lowering her hands from her face. When the scene unpaused, the girl launched herself forward, catching Brent just as he began to collapse.
