it's all good! Big Grin 300+

Ehno quickly caught her eyes and understood the message that she sent from them. He knelt down next to her and said that he would carry her out. The girl nodded her head, eyes wide knowing how much danger they were both still in. "O-Okay," she stuttered. His arms cradled her battered form and she reached her own arms up to encircle his neck. As she was lifted she bit her lip, holding back that pain that assailed her from the movement. In the back of her mind, she knew that her rips were at least badly bruised, if not cracked or broken. She wasn't sure what other damage she had sustained, but that felt like the worst of it. Cambi nodded back to her uncle again before pressing her face against his chest. She didn't think she could bear to see everything that was going on around them.


Her uncle was being as careful as he could be, but every jostle or bump against her ribs sent jabs of pain through her and silent tears began to fall down her already matted cheeks. Their escape seemed to be going fairly well though, until a sudden sharp movement. It seemed like they might both fall and the consequent unexpected movement brought a yelp from her throat, pain throbbing throughout her entire form. Cambria wasn't so caught up in her own pain though to miss the tensing of her uncle form and the sharp hiss that was exhaled from his teeth. Her arms held onto him tighter. Please let us get out alright, please let us get out alright, the girl prayed constantly in her head. She wanted to get out of here, and she didn't want Ehno to get hurt either.


Vaguely the girl noticed that the air entering her lungs was clearer, not so filled with dust, but she was still too afraid to remove her face from the protection and comfort of her uncle's chest. It wasn't until he slowed, and lowered her to the ground that she opened her eyes and looked around dazedly. Soon her name came to her ears, and slowly she looked to Anu who was now with them too, but her mind was overburdened with the shock of everything and she couldn't find any words to respond with. Just then, a few more loud cracks shattered through the air and she looked back to see the final walls of the barn collapse into a jagged wreck with the rest of the old structure. If they hadn't gotten out when they did...the thought and the sight of the completely broken building were too much for her. Cambria's eyes rolled back into her head as she fainted and fell back towards the ground. Then everything was oblivion.
