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.

Autumn glanced up in surprise at the boy. Why had he come back? He could have ran on ahead and made it safety. She followed the boys line of sight and saw that another boy had arrived and seemed to be trying to fight the beast. She gasped, fearing for his life. He couldn't take on a full-grown Chimera! She squeaked, feeling herself suddenly lifted into the air as the boy scooped her up and take off running. She wrapped her arms around his neck, a light blush on her cheeks as she was jostled from how fast he was running. She looked over his shoulder in time for the boy who had been dancing with the Chimera turned and ran for his life. 

Glad that he had finally saw sense Autumn faced forward, seeing they were approaching the castle. They arrived and Autumn looked up at the large structure. The gate was shut tightly and there did not seem to be a way in. Her eyes caught on a dark shape that was lighter than the darkness around it. She gasped, pointing.
