Lily let out a muffled cry. Her eyes rolled back in her head, her fingers twitched, and foam began to form at her mouth.
Alyssa held her breath. It looked like an epileptic seizure or a stroke.

Her chest tightened as she turned to face a pair of smiling yet chilling eyes.
The next second, she felt a sharp pain in her neck, followed by a cool sensation.
