Chapter Two: Black as Night

[Solace]

Fixating her gaze on the vampire in front of them, Paige tried to keep her cool and figure out a husk that might be handy in a situation such as this; after all it wasn’t everyday you had to fight a creature such as this. “Come on Paige, think!” She muttered to herself, having only used her powers defensively in the previous mission. Pushing blond hair away from her eyes as she ran through the list of husks she’d ever done, finding many that would work to keep her safe from harm but not any that would help her teammates out as well. Her curiosity was still peaked from having stumbled upon the note in one of her pockets, so Paige was not keeping her full attention on the task at hand either but she was trying her best.

Shifting from foot to foot she let Tessa try and figure this creature out while she continued to rack her brain for what she might be able to husk into. She also tried to remember any kind of vampire lore she’d ever heard, knowing that if she could just think up one of their weaknesses she might be able to turn herself into that and attack that way. A few moments later it was almost as if a light bulb had gone off in her head, and with a little jump Paige exclaimed “Wood!” her blue eyes wide with delight at finally figuring out a husk that would work offensively just as well as defensively. Lets hope the new members don’t freak out at a girl pullin’ her skin off. Paige let the thought drift through her mind as she began to pull away the outer layer of skin and clothing to reveal what she hoped would be wood underneath, being she’d never before tried to husk into wood the young metamorph wasn’t sure if her attempt would be successful or not.
