Thud!
When Harlow fell on the ground and landed on her butt, the princess made a loud sound that alerted the demon. The two of them were separated by a cluster of vines and thorns with only a small crevice revealing the distance between them.
However, before Harlow could even do anything and stand up, the demon's gaze suddenly shifted in the exact opening that the princess had used to look at it. The demon's eyes glinted with a flash of red.
Harlow's heart was in her throat and she hoped her heartbeat didn't reveal her location at all. She even held her breath so he wouldn't sense her presence.
The torch fire she had on her hand was quickly extinguished by the princess to not make the demon see any light. It was a preventative measure against the demon but it left Harlow even more defenseless.
She had no weapon whatsoever now. She didn't bring her arrow, sword or even a knife… just that makeshift torchlight that was no longer useful.
