[@Polyphemus][@Simple Unicycle][@Delta44] (mods tagged 'cause - mods...) Loralei wanted to protest so much against being carried. She hated when her father and brothers did it, even if she was wheezing so bad she couldn't walk. She especially hate it now when it was a virtual stranger - sure she saw the guy around the school, but she didn't know him - and there was a threat around. He was old, he could die. Well, she could too, but if he died because he was helping her she would never be able to live with that guilt on her shoulders. As much as she wanted to protest, Teddy was trying to distract those things and someone had joined him. She wrapped her arms around the janitor's shoulders, doing her best to help keep her weight balanced for him. It was the least she could do since he was saving her life. The angle she put herself at gave her a view around him...right where a group of those [i]things[/i] took down another student and started eating her. Loralei turned her head away, tucking it down so her face was pressed into Subhas' chest. She didn't want watch the rest of what was happening to that poor girl. She didn't want to have anything to do with those things. All she wanted was to be home with her family and for all of this to be a bad dream. It didn't seem like that would turn out to be the case.
