Snippet #1580320

Cyrus just continued to stare hopefully at Rei, Ghost standing firmly by the young blond's side. When Rei opened his eyes, Cyrus let out a small and surprised gasp, he just wanted to hug Rei but he didn't seem like he was in the best of shape. As Rei sat up he seemed to be in extreme pain, he clutched onto his head, shaking it back and forth with tightly shut eyes. Cyrus shrank back, feeling completely hopeless at the situation. He took a small step back until he stood slightly behind Ghost, peering at Rei from the black-hair's side. Rei's crimson orbs then became visible again as he turned his attention on the two versions of Cyrus, blinking dumbly at them. “Cyrus?” He questioned, Cyrus merely noddy shyly in response. Ghost looked over his shoulder to the cowering blond, who seemed to get some sort of message as Cyrus came out fully from behind Ghost and smiling at Rei. He opened his mouth to say something but was silenced by a sudden rumbling. The whole building began to shake but it caused no real damage. A few items had fallen down from the shelves and broken tables. Cyrus let out a small yelp as a glass smashed behind him, retreating to the safety of Ghost's back. He clung against the black-hair's shirt, burying his face deep into the groves of his back. Tears began pushing themselves out through tightly shut eyes.

Ghost sighed slightly, looking around as if to find the source of the disaster, although it seemed to be that the whole city was experiencing it. His eyes darted back to Rei who hopped off the bed. "We need to stop whatever's--" He attempted to take a step forward but seemed to become dizzy and weak, falling from his standing position. Luckily Ghost wasn't too far away from Rei, within one swift step forward he caught the falling boy. Cyrus was then left without a shield, his claws being forced away from Ghost's shirt, his head now attempting to find salvation in the air. Slowly Cyrus' eyes opened, blinking more and more tears out of them to run down his pale face. Another loud rumble came again and Cyrus yelped, darting forward and smashing into Ghost, knocking the other forward. "Cyrus!" Ghost growled, although he calmed himself down with a small breath, letting it out in the form of a sigh. He lay Rei back on the bed and turned around to face Cyrus. The blond just kept his eyes shut tight, head bowed to face the dusty ground. Ghost wrapped his arms around the other, sweeping him off of his feet and sitting him on the same bed Rei was on. "Just sit there and look after Rei, I'll go and see what's happening." He then left the boy without another word, picking his way through the rubble on the floor, broken furniture now accompanied by more bits of glass and wood which had fallen from the violent shaking. He halted at the doorway, peering out onto the city to see what was going on.
