The long, sharp, tooth sank into Vincent's skin and as soon as it did, he cried out in pain but it was drowned out in a roll of thunder. Delaney gasped and felt as if flames were licking up her arms. Within minutes the invisible fire was consuming her body.
She couldn't breathe. She couldn't think. The pain was unlike anything she could have ever imagined. Where her hands were touching the tooth she could swear the skin was being burned off.
Vincent let out a sound something like a sob and a scream, arching his back upward, pressing his head into his pillows. This only served to push the tooth deeper, into his abdomen so he immediately reversed the movement, digging his heels into the bed and bending his knees so he could push his back harder into the mattress as he tried to escape.
