[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 6734091, member: 4936"] [ATTACH=CONFIG]71215._xfImport[/ATTACH] Renata stepped back, nearly stumbled back from the window, her brain shattering into a thousand little spinning pieces. "I...I'm at Dalton," she replied dazedly to the phone. "Dalton Academy. There's...a fire in the air, and...something's attacking people." All the mental prepwork she'd done before calling, the rehearsing what to say so that she wouldn't sound like a panicking moron like most 911 calls she'd heard...down the drain. "I don't know what it is." Her mind seized on the words...they PERFECTLY captured the situation. "I don't know what it is," she repeated to her cellphone. "I don't...I don't..." Panic was a vortex. A whirlpool, like the one at the end of the Pirates of the Carribean movies. For a second Renata felt herself being dragged down it, as the mantra [i]I don't know what it is[/i] was the only thing she could think, and each time she did it became shriller and more hysterical. As fortune had it, she picked that moment to look back to the window, and Mari was there staring at her with dawning horror...and she couldn't let her see her like that. Renata reached out and took hold of Mari's arm. [i]You don't have to know what it is. You just have to know it's dangerous.[/i] "Come on, it's not safe here." Then, remembering she was still on the line with 911, she added, "I can't stay on the line, we have to move. There's some kind of fire at Dalton Academy, but something's attacking people too. Don't just send firemen. Send police or...I don't know, the national guard or something." [/QUOTE]
