[quote=SomeoneSomewere] By this time, Austin had fallen out of his desk in a desperate attempt to get out when the sound started. He was curled into the fetal position, his hands pressing tightly against his sensitive ears. His body shook in pain, his eyes clenched shut, claws out and pressed into his head. By the time the pain had gone down enough to even thing about moving, he slowly moved his body out, releasing his head. Yet now, with the constant ringing in his ears, he couldn't hear anything. While that sound was deafening to other students... It had no comparison to how he could hear it. He slowly stumbled to his feet, small pinpricks of blood on his head from his claws. He again dug his claws into the desk, shaking still. It was hard to think straight, all that was in his brain was pain and ringing. [/quote] Kyra went over to him, a little bit of ringing in he ears. Connor, are you okay?" she asked, rubbing his shoulder gently. Her multicolored eyes flashed, reflecting his pain, and she bit her lip.
