From zero to shit.

Ten seconds. That's all it took. And they were all running for their lives. Kai could only thank her lucky stars that she'd taken the literal high ground to get out of there safely. One by one they all separated but then regrouped in their hightailed escape to get away from the satyrs. One of the girls had set out paper bombs and it finally gave them the distraction they needed to get away...alive. But in their flee from the ramsmen, more came, and these ones were even bigger than the first batch. Terrified as she had been, Kai didn't look anywhere but directly ahead. Looking back meant slowing down, and slowing down would have surely meant death. She didn't need to see them anyway to know that they were coming, the stampede of their massive hooves had been more than sufficient for that.

But then someone in gray caught up with them and Kai had momentarily thought they had been caught. Then again, they were close to it, the thundering thud of hooves were drawing ever closer, but at hearing a voice call out to them, she picked up her speed and sprinted that much faster to get to the finish line. Technically.

What was more amazing though was that this guy, whom from the sound of his voice, she debunked to be from the other group of boys had ran off into the very face of danger. Oh sweet moon, no! There was nothing Kai could do, but run and thank him for his altruistic brevity. She couldn't see what would become of him, but she could hear it, and of the things she'd heard, that was....they were in hot pursuit again!

Heart pounding like war drums and her legs a blur in black, Kai was sprinting at top speeds and upon seeing another boy seeming to be standing around, she dashed right past them. She was running so fast that she ended up tripping and falling to her feet right as she heard the collective smack of bodies slam into mud. Panting heavily, she got up to her knees while looking over her shoulder. ".....Thank....-huff huff, pant pant-.....thank you." But oh! The relief she felt. And the slight anguish.

Was that boy dead? She listened for his voice in the rumbles and slowly stood up. With a heavy heart, the slow realization washed over Kai about the weight of their bleak situation. They as a people were dwindling, and they just lost one. This had been the eye-opener she needed to realize how precious all their lives were. Even the people she disliked. And in thinking so, she stared toward Inari, the blonde boy and the albino. They all seemed shaken, but at least they were alive. And good thing too, there was a nagging feeling within her that said more was coming.
