Mary, she had found a door.
How she had found it and how she had gotten it open, Noah had no idea, but it was open and it led somewhere that wasn't here.
He filled his lungs with air.
"EVERYONE!! GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!!"
His voice hit every corner of the chamber and came back from the walls. Students who had been mid-movement froze for a second and then moved faster.
Damien's head came up and his eyes found Noah across the space. worry there, sharp and immediate.
"DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!!" Noah held his gaze.
"DAMIEN, TAKE EVERYONE OUT!!"
Damien's jaw worked.
Then he gritted his teeth and turned.
Grabbing the nearest student by the arm and pulling them toward Mary's door.
Lyria was already moving, one arm supporting a student who couldn't walk unassisted. Steering him firmly in the right direction.
Arisha cast one last look toward Noah.
Her golden eyes finding him across the chaos, reading his face for a second. Then made a decision.
