The Van Helsing Conjecture – Excerpt No. 11

“I came along on a hunt…”

Clara focused her mind until time slowed around her. In reality, she was speeding up while time moved at the same pace. This enabled her to react and move quicker, sometimes faster than the eye could see.

“Really?” Artemis said. “You just stumbled onto my personal hunting grounds? Armed to the teeth?”

As time slowed down, the words Artemis spoke were stretched out and lowered in pitch. Clara hated holding conversations in this state, but the payoff was well-worth the aggravation. This enabled her to dodge attacks if need be, even if such powers were still, ironically, time limited.

Photo-realistic image of a black winged brunette wearing hiking cloths with large black wings is looking at a snow flake. The flake is paused in mid-air, and the the world is blurred save for the brunette and snow flake. Located deep in winter woods at night with the full moon hanging over the air.
