Matthew stood there in silence as he could hear some semblance of sound coming out of Colby. He couldn't quite make out the words, the sound of blood rushing through his ears creating a sound so loud it seemed to take hold of everything else. He noticed the glance, that mischievous glare that Colby got when he had one of his ideas. But Matthew was still unsure on what to do, who to trust, and if Colbys plan would work out for them. [Color=99CC00][i] Whydid she run? Why did she leave us like that? Open, vulnerable? Why couldn't she just- [/i][/color] Maddie pulled himself out of his own thoughts, not wanting to go down that rabbit hole. His eyes caught something, a shape, a motion. What was it? When he was finally able to focus himself he realised that everyone else was now running. [i]Merlin[/i] was running

There were words cresting Merlins lips, ones Maddie couldn't decipher. Was he asking them to run? To hold together? Was he casting a spell? Maddie decided that he didn't care. He didn't want to wait to find out how this story would end, he chose to make his own narrative and follow suit with the others. His legs followed one by one as his pace picked up, running faster and faster as his grip tightened on Colbys hand and wrist and he pulled him along. He was part cat after all, so he should be lithe, nimble, fast. He should be able to keep up. Matthew went into a full sprint before finally pulling himself and Colby through the guard gate, continuing past a line of trees before he finally skidded to a halt as he turned as saw Merlin lay down a barrier to keep the guards out. Maddie's grip softened, turning to face Colby as he just shook his head in disbelief and leaned against a tree.
