Outside the Dorms, Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate Monday Night/Early Tuesday Morning

Oct 26, 2009 21:39

Karla fled towards the dorms, running as if there were Hell-hounds flat on her heels. Just a little bit further, she thought. Just a little bit faster… She was flagging, and quickly, but she reached down deep in her reserves and dredged up enough energy for one last little burst of speed.

Too bad it was impossible to outrun one’s own fragmenting mind. )

The sudden shock of fury jolted Raven from her sleep. For a moment she was confused, trying to figure out where the feeling was coming from, and then she felt a familiarity with the source and realized she knew who it was. "Karla," she said, rising from her bed. Somewhere outside, but she needed a moment to contain the feeling and stop it from affecting her before she could find where she was. She pulled a cloak around herself and stepped out into the hallway.

Emma wasn't a heavy sleeper for a number of reasons, and she was up and out of her bed almost the second Karla slammed against what few shields Emma could manage while sleeping, hands slapping over her mouth to keep from crying out.

She quickly slipped out of the room to keep from waking Leonard, waiting until she was in the hall to breathe again, and quickly zeroed in on Raven. "You heard it too, didn't you?"

"Karla," Raven said, pressing her hands to her temples, trying to focus through the rage. "She is hurt and angry. We have to find her."

"I got that part," Emma replied tartly, cracking the door just enough to reach back in and grab her shoes, slipping them on. "Do you know what happened?"

Raven shook her head. "No," she said. "Just sudden mindless rage waking me." She closed her eyes, concentrating. The anger was so blinding it was hard to get a lock on her. "She is close, but moving away, quickly."

Emma's eyes went unfocused for a moment as she tried to reach Karla before shaking her head. "Not answering," she said shortly. "But she's headed out. Away. I think she's going for the Causeway."

"I can get us there quickly," Raven offered. "And Francine and Katchoo, they wish to come as well."

She looked down at her pajamas and grimaced. There wasn't any time to change; they had to go now before Karla got over the Causeway.

"Do it," she said simply, looking up at Raven. "Whatever it takes."

Raven wasn't much better dressed in her nightgown and robe (in black, of course), but there was no time to change.

She beckoned to Francine and Katchoo to come closer to her and Emma. "This will not hurt you," she said, "but you may find it easier to close your eyes. It will also be cold."

She lifted her arms, and the black shadow wings of her Soul-Self spread out from her body, wrapping around the other three women and enveloping them in darkness. If they didn't close their eyes, it would seem like they were standing on stepping stones in a vast cosmos, but only for a brief moment, before they appeared on the causeway.
