Her fingertips trembled with a mix of horror and excitement. Just as the teapot was about to slip from her grasp, Keegan suddenly said, “Jaylene, don’t move.”

Jaylene froze, instinctively thinking Keegan had regained his memory. She had barely twitched when Keegan loudly stopped her again, “Don’t move, absolutely don’t move.”

Jaylene wanted to say something, but then felt an itching sensation on her neck, as if something was crawling slowly. Goosebumps erupted all over her body.

Keegan reassured her, “Don’t speak, don’t startle it. I’ll come over slowly and help you get rid of it.”
