Evelyn was stupefied. But due to the urgency of their situation, she collected herself right in the next second, grabbed onto him, and when her fangs descended, she bit into his exposed neck.
A hollow one nearby turned to see them and decided to use the opportunity to launch itself at their vulnerable, locked forms. However, right after it moved, an arrow flew into its chest from above.
It was Audrey, and she had taken it upon herself to cover them both.
As Evelyn continued to desperately draw the life force from his veins, the injuries on her body began to knit together and close. Although the smaller wounds vanished, she did not regrow her arm, choosing instead to conserve as much energy as possible for the battle still raging around them.
Regrowing that arm would drain a lot from her and would require her to take more blood from Cedric, which was not exactly wise. A few seconds later, she pulled away from his neck and muttered quietly, "Thank you."
