Hell.

It was literally a hell on Earth. 

The little shops and boutiques she always passed to school were engulfed in flames, the combining smoke creating clouds of ash that darkened the starry sky. Screams surrounded Sera as she was continuously bombarded with body after terrified body. But even through all this chaos, she still couldn't comprehend the situation. Everything was fine in Death City just a few short hours ago. Now, it was just... [i]madness[/i].

One particularly hard push sent Sera crashing onto the cobblestone sidewalk, the rocks skinning her knees and bringing the light-haired girl back to reality. She immediately scrambled back up and quickly looked around all the chaos, listing off what she needed to do. She couldn't stand by after all; she was a Shibusen student. Thankfully, her parents were not in the city at the moment. She didn't need to worry about them anyways. So the only logical step was for her to go to Shibusen, the center of all the chaos. Her feet began to move before she could make a complete plan, running towards the towering school. 

The panicking crowds began to lessen the closer she got to the steps and soon, Sera was standing in an empty lot. She briefly wondered for a moment what was worse; the deafening screams or eerie silence. She decided now wasn't the time to wonder and began running through the empty lot as fast as her legs could carry her.
