Chapter 45 Are We Safe

The roots stuck out of the ground like they were guarding something. I knew right away that this was the famous tree that could kill vampires, with its powerful reputation.

• Deep in the heart of the forest, there stood a massive tree like nothing I'd ever seen. Its branches reached out so far that they covered the sky, making the sunlight scarce. The tree's bark was super smooth—kind of creepy. Its roots stuck out from the ground like they were protecting something.

The tree that could defeat vampires was right there, but getting to its powerful branches was starting to feel like a nearly impossible task.
