Snippet #2188751

Erin Tyryl

He couldn't help the grin that spread across his face as Maya's voice was filled with sarcasm. She dabbed at her eyes, wiping away the blood that had been created by the banshee's scream. Erin mentally took note of his own condition and concluded that he was fine, aside from the internal injuries that were felt from Nemesis and his own weariness from all the fighting.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me," he replied softly. He leaned over and gently patted the top of her head. His gaze shifted to look out into the battlefield. Sitting near the hole that had been created was the large black dire wolf. He guarded the area intently, all of his attention -except for a small bit- was directed outside.

"We're going to have to figure something out soon, Erin," Nemesis told him.

"Yeah, I know," Erin frowned as he answered his bond mentally.

The large wolf turned his head, the yellow eyes glowing as he looked directly at the tall boy, "Be prepared to move her, you should probably start looking at what we can take with us medicine wise."

With a nod to his wolf, he turned and started looking at the supplies around them. He didn't really want to take anything as the nurses were busy working as well. However, he knew they weren't going to last for much longer with that hole in the wall. So he began to sneak around and look at the bandages and other things that he could possibly carry. As he gathered some things, he brought them back and put them on Maya's bed near her feet. Once he'd gotten all that he could think of he reached behind her and took the pillow.

"Sorry," he muttered to her and quickly took off the casing, then replaced the pillow behind her, being very gentle so as not to hurt her further. He began tossing all of the supplies in the pillow case and then tied it up and set it on the floor, slightly under the bed so that it didn't attract too much attention. His green gaze shot about the room to see if anyone had noticed, but it seemed that the nurses were all too busy to take note.

"We're not going to be staying long here, Nemesis is worried about this place being overrun and he's probably right. Don't worry," he gave her a grin, "I'm not going to leave you behind. I hope you don't mind being carried."

Rue Tyryl

As she went down the hall quickly, she listened to Luca's voice behind her. Her eyebrow came down in concentration. She'd briefly forgotten that in order for him to teleport he needed something that he'd touched before to be where he wanted it. She wondered if that talent of his had a range on it too. She gave a soft sigh as they worked their way quickly to the infirmary.

"I guess we'll just have to try our luck then..." she replied. She turned her head, tossing her white hair in the process, to look up at him. She pushed open the door to the infirmary and immediately spotted her brother talking with the black haired girl. She ignored the irritation she felt rising at the back of her mind.

"Erin," she called and walked into the room. A loud sound from above them echoed and the room shuddered violently. Everyone looked around and in the next second the room seemed to collapse in on itself. Rue was shoved backward by Ivory as the room crumbled. Her stomach twisted into knots and her chest tightened as she toppled backwards into Luca. Her heart raced in her chest, making it hurt.

"ERIN!" She screamed over the loud roaring sound of wood and concrete falling. Once the dust settled and the room stopped trembling, the only thing between her and her brother was a wall of rock and debris. Luckily Walkers bed was left untouched, a few rocks having hit it out of the way of the tumbling. Ivory moved to the young man and inspected him, her nose sniffing him from head to foot in search of unseen wounds aside from his original battered body.

"The boy is fine, but we need to leave, love," the white wolf said as she turned her head to Rue.

Her eyes stared at the rock wall, her mouth opened in shock. She couldn't stop shaking. Did she just lose her brother? She was a still statue against Luca, unable to really breath or think.

"Rue?!"

Air sucked into her lungs and she came forward gently, her hand reaching for Luca's, "Erin!"

"Are you alright?" His voice called from the other side.

"Yes, you?"

"Yeah, we're alright. Did you find the others?"

"No, we think they headed into the forest. The auditorium was broken into," she called back, her gaze flicking from side to side across the rock wall in front of her.

"Head for the forest then, hu?"

"Yeah."

"Alright sis. Meet you there. Take care of her, Luca!"

Rue turned to the taller boy and sighed in relief. Her head fell into Luca's chest as she took in a deep breath and relaxed her strained body. Adrenaline pumped through her and at the back of her mind she was somehow exhilarated by all the events. It reminded her of when she first really spoke to Luca in class. He'd stated that perhaps she'd enjoyed fighting more than she let on. She was starting to think that was really true. Each time a fight erupted, she seemed to take on a calm demeanor that usually wasn't like herself.

"Have Luca help Walker, love. I'll lead the way," Ivory said and slipped passed the two to stand in the hallway. Rue nodded and relayed the words to Luca.

Erin Tyryl

As the room came crumbling down, he lunged forward and covered Maya with his body. His only thoughts were prayers that the heavy concrete didn't fall on them. Somehow, the only thing that kept pelting him were smaller rocks and the occasional piece of wood. Other than that, he was unharmed as he protected Maya. Lifting his head as the rumbling stopped, he looked over his shoulder at the rock wall between him and his sister. Then he yelled for her.

After their conversation he turned back to Maya and pulled the pillowcase of supplies from it's hiding spot. Giving her a wry smile he tossed the bag to Nemesis who picked it up between his teeth and jerked his large black head towards the outside. Leaning over he gently pulled Maya into his arms, one arm around her back and coming up to her shoulder, the other under her knees.

She was very light as he lifted her, "Alright, time to get moving. I'll see what I can do about your stomach once we get to a better place. Just try not to move too much," he told her and followed his wolf out into the courtyard.
