Derrick heard Kenza before he felt it; the statue had begun pulling its pieces together. He turned and noticed that Kenza had already evacuated the area, realizing that it was probably a bad idea to be standing where he was right now. Just how bad he wasn't really sure, but he didn't think he wanted to stay there.

As the pull began, Derrick started backpedaling, going in the direction his teammates were. One step behind the other, he quickly moved away while focused on the statue's movements. All of a sudden, one of his feet slipped from under him and he fell onto his side. In panic he rolled away, managing to avoid going to the light, before stopping abruptly as he bumped into a wall.
"Ow." He spluttered, rising to a crouch.

At least he wasn't close to the statue anymore, but he wasn't that close to his teammates either.
"I'm okay..." Derrick said, slightly dazed.
He rose to his feet, using his shortspear as a crutch, eyeing the statue carefully to see what would happen.
