I finally manage to cut myself free. I hear them up on the roof. I hear their swords clashing. I climb onto the roof. I have to get my eyes back. I can... see them. I do not know how to describe it. I can see them glowing through the darkness. Glowing like stars almost. I have to get them back. I hear her charging at me. I slam my sword into hers.
"Wei Ying, stay back." Lan Zhan calls.
"This is my fight. Not yours." I say.
She spins around and slices my arm open. I wince. I grab her sword. She pulls on it. I slam my sword into her. I hear it slice through her chest. She screeches and throws me into Lan Zhan. He grabs me. I wince as I grip my arm.
"Wei Ying-" He starts.
"I'm fine." I say.
I hear her screeching. I hear something. Lan Zhan falls silent.
"What?" I ask.
"She's a demon." Lan Zhan answers.
What? Did he just say she's a demon? I hear something rising from her back. Legs? Webs? I suddenly realize her obsession with eyes. She collects many. Wait... she's not a demon.... she's a spider.
