Hope its okay that I pp'd Ehno carrying Cambria into the sunset out of the barn. Thwap me with a newspaper if its not. Big Grin 503


Relief spurred a faint smile onto his lips as he saw his niece wiggle her way out from beneath the heavy wooden beam. Once the girl was completely clear of her trappings, Ehno slowly lowered the beam back to the ground, afraid that if he dropped it that it could do more damage to the already unsteady and delicate structure around them. The Marino turned his gaze back to Cambria to see her wince in pain, and his focus narrowed to the trickles of blood dancing across her fur. His ears pressed against his skull with worry, but when he caught her pleading gaze, he knew that the time to let his worries consume him was not now.

Ehno crouched down next to his niece, immediately moving to try to lift her from where she sat. “Hold on to me. We’re going to get out of here,” he said, amber eyes catching her cerulean ones. He slipped on arm beneath the crook of her knees, the other supporting her back. The uncle slowly lifted her up, trying his best not to jostle the wounded girl too much. When he had her clear of the ground, he gave her a brief nod of determination before turning to make his way out of the building with her in tow.

The quickest path available to them would be past the platform that collapsed upon Ghita. When they reached the spot he found the debris to be scattered about haphazardly, and he took the fact that there was no sign of the giant Jazper to mean that he had managed to pull the Marino woman from the rubble. The hopeful thought spurred him forward, and he began to gingerly make his way through the obstacle course of fallen debris. One step placed his foot on what he thought was a sturdy old board, but it slipped from beneath him and nearly caused him to loose his balance.

There was a flash of pain along his calf where one of the splintered pieces of the fallen platform grazed him. He hissed sharply with the pain, but forced himself to straighten and ignore it, the continuous creaking of the building making it clear that the two of them were still in danger. Ehno glanced at Cambria to assure that she was still okay before moving forward again. He tried his best to side-step the rest of the rubble, and luckily the rest of the path to the large open doorway was almost clear.

The cool, fresh air immediately greeted them as they cleared the barn doors, wrapping around them with a grateful and protective embrace. The Marino came to a halt near the gathered Dreamers outside, carefully lowering his niece back to the ground. He didn’t realize until then just how much he was panting, or how his limbs were tingling with all the nervous adrenaline in his system. He breathed a sigh of relief; they’d all managed to get out of there before it could collapse any further.
