Akane watched the scene before her unfold, well aware of those [i]things[/i] making their way up the flight of stairs behind her. She glances behind her right shoulder, spotting the shadows of those things as they slowly climbed up the staircase. Their groans and moans echoed, forcing a spike of anxiousness to pierce Akane's heart. Turning her head back around to face the group, she caught the speech one of the student's gave. Something about family was mentioned which seem to effect the other students, Akane, however, apparently was the only one not effected by the guy's words, atleast that's what it seemed judging by her outward appearance and lack of reaction.

Walking closer to the group to create a larger distance between herself and the staircase behind her, Akane continued to observe silently. The discovery made by the student who gave the speech was an interesting development. [color=f6989d]'[i]Stabbing these creatures doesn't effect them it seems, also the sloppiness of their movements make them unstable... Judging by the reaction to that creature attempting to stand, it seems that it used to be a comrade of theirs.... hmm[/i]'[/color] Akane gathered information from what she saw and stored the data inside her mind for further analysis later, perhaps she could find some sort of weakness that'd aid her in her escape. Before long, the group of students in front began running. At this point, Akane knew that she had no choice but to follow if she had any hope of surviving this traumatic event.... as much as she despised having to be around other people, now was not the time to complain or think of a different plan. [color=f6989d]'[i]Why did this have to happen today....[/i]'[/color] Swallowing her inner feelings, Akane began running herself, being sure to catch up and follow closely behind the group. She didn't look back as she knew that would waste energy and slow herself down, which would be extremely dangerous since she was the furthest behind everyone else, and the closest to the creatures. The expression on her face kept blank as usual, in any other setting it'd look as though she was just having a casual run and not running for her life... With that said, she was in fact pushing herself as much as she could, parting her lips slightly in order to let out light pants, but this effort wasn't displayed in her outward appearance as she wouldn't let it be. Her shoes didn't make as much noise as everyone else's due to the soles being rubber so atleast they didn't add much to the noise pollution of the whole group.
