[quote=@XxLyraxX] Autumn felt the boy gran her hand once more and tug her after him as he ran. [color=gold]"B-But.."[/color] She started to protest, glancing behind them again. A bad mistake. She wasn't watching where she was putting her feet and her right foot got caught on a root sticking out of the soil and down to the ground she went, letting out a small cry on the decent as her hand was ripped out of the boys. She lay there for a few seconds, dazed before pushing herself up into a seated position. She hissed as a pain in her ankle made itself known. Already the skin was swelling and turning a nasty purple color. She tried to rise and put weight on it but it turned under her and back down she went, letting out a small cry. [/quote] Izumi made sure the girl stuck behind him. Suddenly he didn't feel her hand anymore, he stopped immediately and looked back. She was struggling to get back on her feet and go straight into running. Izumi knew he had to give her some kind of support so they could get to safety. He ran back to help the girl up. [color=orange]"Lean on me, I can hold you up."[/color] Izumi quickly looked back towards the beast, he was slightly confused to see another boy messing with the Chimera. As soon as fire escaped its mouth Izumi knew they had to get out of there. Izumi's adrenaline was really starting to get the best of him now. For whatever reason, he was driven to sweep the girl off of her feet and make sure she was locked in. She seemed to be weightless to him. He began to run as fast as he could, making sure he knew where his feet were landing so he wouldn't trip and fall. If he saw that boy again, it would be the second person he would have to thank in less than a few minutes.
