Her Worst Nightmare
When she turned her gaze upon me, there was a hunger there that made me wonder whether Ethan had been wrong about her diet just consisting of children and suddenly, I thought that if she was to touch me, I might finally scream.
Leaning his body towards her, Ethan spoke low, words that were barely audible, but clearly not a language I understood. When she didn't reply, he repeated it, and I saw the command in his eyes, the firmness in his tone.
With a jerk of her head at me, the Naiad spoke.
'Talitha,' she whispered. ' Tal-iiiii-tha .'
Her voice was child-like, but I recoiled from the venom in her tone and the way her face twisted darkly.
