Snippet #1557787

Rei was a little taken off-guard when Cyrus hugged him, but it made it easier to protect him when rubble fell down, some pieces hitting into his back and ricocheting into the cracking concrete alongside them. "What's going on Rei?!" He opened his eyes and frowned down at him. He opened his mouth to respond, but closed it. He didn’t have an answer to that. He always had an answer to everything, but now, he could honestly say he didn’t have a clue.

He looked up and realized they were starting to get closed it, but before the building fell—they were in a safe zone, at least, but the Thorns, however, were not—a projection of a miserable-looking Cyrus appeared and save those God-forsaken Thorns. "Look out!" Rei wanted to object to this act of kindness, but didn’t have it in him. Would he of done the same thing? That wasn’t a question that needed an answer…because he hadn’t even tried.

There was a trend, sort of, that Reivy had begun to notice. For forever, they’d never had any problems. Then these dumb Thorns show up and all of sudden—bam! Earthquakes galore, and a freaky power outage. Then the cowards start to run away. Maybe all this was their fault. He wanted to get up and follow, but the buildings had fallen, blocking him and the others on both sides, like a cage. Rei didn’t do well with cages or closed in spaces. Luckily, it was a big enough area. He closed his eyes and sat next to Cyrus, taking in deep breaths and letting them out. "We need to get everyone to somewhere safe," he heard Nikolas shout. Save them? Why would he do that? They caused this, didn’t they? He was getting a headache trying to figure all this out.

As he was trying to, a strong blast of wind swept by. He tried to open his eyes, but closed them again when dirt blew in his face. He put out his hand to melt anything that tried getting near his face again. Since when was it windy…ever? These were like hurricane winds. What was going on?
