Novel & Cerita Xaden Venin

I braced to crash against the ground, when strong hand grasped my elbow, my blossom pressed against the hard chest. My gaze rose to meet my saviour, Xaden. My heart stopped, and my mouth went dry. His face was inches from mine, his features chiseled and intense. My gaze dropped to his chest, where two buttons were undone, revealing his sculpted torso. I felt a flutter in my chest as my eyes returned to his. As I inhaled, his scent hit my nose, and I couldn't help but take a deep breath in. That very smell was my ticket back to that night. I didn't want to forget how good he smelled, like a blend of wood and spice.

“And… and…” My voice shook as more scalding water poured on my hand, licking my flesh and pulling my skin off layer by layer as I cried, unable to pull away. “...and scourgeth every… every… son whom he receiveth.” I dared not open my eyes. I was afraid of what I might see: my blistering skin, my dad’s face and the steaming water. Tears continued to flow. “...If ye endure chastening, G-G-God dealeth with you… as with sons…”

Frankly speaking, it's in the nature of vampires to have the constant urge to kill. "I don't know what you have there but if it's something harmful to Ashley, then I suggest you put it away before you do something that'll cost us our lives." Maverick adviced, after a moment of silence. "This right here is called vervain. I'm sure you must've heard of it." Willow filled him in again, still having her eyes pinned on the bottle. This time, she stared at it like it was the apple of her eyes, "I found a way to make it colourless and as far as it is in this bottle, it can't be sniffed out. Even you didn't know what it was."

Adam didn't stop until the entire contents of the bottle was doused down Magnus throat. Wolfsbane. "He gave you just enough to hurt you. The next dose would be to permanently ruin your vocal chords, after which I'll rip them out." I hadn't seen Vanya like this before, but I was glad she was handling things well. This was her battle and I was here to make sure she won. "Ready to speak?" She asked still retaining that stoned glare on her face. He groaned, blood still flowing out of his mouth.

"Shadowthorn essence and Whisperwind Venom, two of the most deadly venoms." "Huh," I managed to choke out, my voice barely above a whisper as I looked at Dr. Halt with brokenness etched across my features. The weight of her words hung heavily in the air, and it seemed like the world around us had come crashing down. In that moment, I saw a shift in Dr. Halt's demeanor. Her gaze softened, and she began to treat me not as just a patient, but as if I were her own sister. "Shadowthorn essence is a dark poison derived from the thorns of the nightshade plant. They cause terrifying hallucinations, leading to paralysis."

Apparently, time to checkmate our enemies. Xx___xX

Cold Ass better! I fastly unplug the tub and rinse my body with clean water, then jump out of the bath and wrap myself in a towel. Everything happens in the span of a minute and I almost trip over Nancy, knocking myself out. "Jesus, Veronika! What got over you?!" "I'll tell you later!" I shout at her, already outside of the bathroom and running to my room. So there might be some light at the end of the tunnel, after all. ***

"Not everyone gets this kind of help. You should know how valuable they are." "What is the root called?" Melinda asked looking the charred wood over. "How can they be good for you?" "It is called Heaven's Venom. A type of poison. It can only be grown from the blood of a cultivator hit by powerful lighting. Very good at killing parasites that thrive off of eating synapses." Ren said politely. "The parasites grow and grow till they burst out. Making it difficult to move around beforehand. With the little critters eating away at one's synapses it makes it to difficult to do much of anything."

I shook my head and huffed out, “It’s a shame to faint like that in front of everyone, and that too after just two damn punches.” Suddenly, I noticed an IV catheter attached to the back of my hand. My gaze traveled up the tube and I saw an IV drip hanging there. Drop by drop, some clear liquid was dripping into the tube leading to my vein, “What’s that?” I inquired with a frown. Sophie followed my line of vision and replied, “Dr. Vincent has given you Xanadium.” It was a drug designed for werewolves. It speeds up the central nervous system, makes a werewolf feel alert and energetic, and tackles weaknesses.

He balanced himself on his toes and still had the watch in a countdown. He patted her head as she was on the floor shaking. “If you didn’t have too may drinks, this would have been slower” he said. “W-what are you talking about?” she asked softly. “Well poison that’s all” he patted her head again and then grabbed on and pulled her up, and put the timer in her face. “The venom of a Redback Spider causes all the symptoms you’re having now, and can kill a human under an hour. You ingested five to six doses and that could accelerate your death” he grinned.
