(OOC - Mainly for Ryouga but anyone's welcome to join in)
I stalk off down the hall, muttering curses under my breath. This school is ridiculous, I should never have let Ryouga talk me into coming here. Speaking of Ryouga, he's still hovering, following after me like he's afraid I'll do something stupid. Idiot, he should know me better than that by now. I thought he did.
There's a shout behind me and my head jerks round in shock. How did they--?
Got to get out of here, got to get away from them. I break into a run, dodging people in the hotel corridor, pushing them aside to squeeze through the crowd. I turn my head again to see them catching up, pushing past the people behind me.
Mama. Papa. Both gone. Because of them, and if I don't keep moving they'll get me too. I turn a corner into another corridor and make my way along, tugging at the door handles and finding one after another locked.
"Over there!" comes a voice behind me and I start running again. Can't let them get me, I don't want to die, oh God I don't want to die.
Dead end. No, there's a balcony, if I can just... I climb up onto the rail and brace myself, forcing myself not to look down. I risk a quick glance back and see the two men aiming at me. Gotta go, go now, now, now.
I throw myself across the gap to the next balcony over, almost sobbing with relief as I make it in one piece. Keep moving, keep moving.
