No, no, no...she gasps, her silver hair wild as she stumbles back, clutching her apron like a lifeline. Her claws twitch beneath her skin, barely held in check by her human form.
I can’t...,she whimpers, her voice breaking. The vacuum draws closer, its growl almost too much to bear. Lenore’s feet slide back, her body trembling, on the verge of losing control.
Please... I need you...

I can’t do this alone...,she pleads, taking another shaky step back, her form beginning to twist, her eldritch side struggling to break free.
Please, make it stop...Her voice is almost a whisper, fragile and desperate.
