[center][b]Acacia Malikov[/b] Grand Hall Upstairs[/center] Wandered aimlessly down the length of the upstairs hall. Wide eyes shifting at every detail as she even turned in a circle admiring everything around her. Pale digits hardly holding onto the brown leather in her grasp as she moved almost mechanically drawn through the building. She'd freeze eventually at the sounds that she heard, something was wrong and she froze a few meters off from a large doorway. "[b]What was that?[/b]" She questioned lightly, hands still loose as the leather strip suddenly slid from her grasp. She wondered what others may have heard from upstairs and suddenly her train of though was snapped as she watched the chocolate canine rush at the room snapping and barking viciously at whatever was happening within. The canine hardly budged as large gashes sliced through the width of a door baring light from within. Amber eyes almost illuminated like there was nothing but protection in the canine as he moved around the door's perimeter growling and barking. He was a canine with sense to keep distance, but he wasn't one to back off from something that sounded like a threat, especially when he wasn't restrained by his mistress's grasp. --- [center][b]Koshmarik[/b] Grand Hall Upstairs[/center] Rushed around the door as ivory fangs bore themselves, hardly affected by the blinding light emitted from within the room he snarled seemingly unnaturally at the vocals within. A creature was howling in pain and a dominating voice suddenly boomed from within, "[i]Be gone from here at once![/i]" a feminine tone that was overpowered with a sense of great power. He flinched at the words, sensitive ears made him go silent for a moment shaking his head, though once regaining structure he continued his barrage of vocals. He hardly focused on his mistress's commands as she stood off a distance "[b]Koshmarik, enough! We must leave![/b]", she didn't want to find out what was there and unlike her, he wanted to know everything. Leaping suddenly a small distance back the canine stood spread legged and tensed facing the doors that flung themselves open with a bang. His tanned lips drawn as he snarled lightly the vocals rumbling deep within a strained chest. He hadn't spotted whatever had been in the room, whatever it was had been flung without a chance of savior out the window and had vanished. His amber hues were left on the seemingly frail woman in the middle of the room. His eyes glanced back towards his own human for a split second, but she'd already left to find some form of help maybe, he ended up frozen glaring at the woman without budging to find he girl he was so close to. --- [center][b]Acacia Malikov[/b] Grand Hall Downstairs[/center] It was chaotic as she rushed down the stairs, people were being filed out of the building and glass seemed to coat the ground in an array of sparkling patterns. No one appeared injured, but her mind wasn't on that currently. She neared the last step of the stairwell and instead of making that last step elegantly she stumbled on her own dress arms going forward as the porcelain figure fell forwards. She squealed lightly and picked herself up after a while, glass embedded in her hand as she rose to full heights, the red seemed to bubble out from around the transparent weapon as she pulled it from her flesh with a flinch. Clasping her hand together she continued on forwards, everyone was leaving and she tried to find someone to help, no one listened and headed for their dorms, "[b]Someone please, help, there's something happening upstairs,[/b]", she attempted to get someones attention and instead at nearly the end of the group was forced out with the doors closing behind her. "[b]No, no, this can't be, Koshmarik![/b]" She shouted at the large doors and without a reply stood facing away from the building. "[b]Oh no ... I can't leave him.[/b]" she looked around for a moment and after a while had been escorted with firm words to return to her dorm. Too afraid to confront the person speaking she gritted her teeth and headed back to her dorm, finding everyone already pretty well inside she headed for her own dorm room and once within retreated to her room. If anyone tried to communicate with her she'd shut them out and slam the door, no canine by her side, a hand coated in crimson and a seemingly destroyed appearance. --- [center][b]Acacia Malikov[/b] Next Morning[/center] Had hardly slept that night, she sat upon the unmoved blankets of her bed, knees pulled in tight as she stared at the large crate on the other side of the room. She knew she had to find the chocolate creature as she arose from her bed, she'd heard footsteps out front earlier in the day and after spending a night staring at that one item in her room she drifted towards the wardrobe, still in the gown she drew her sights to the clothes within, pulling an outfit from within she'd changed slowly before emerging into the main room of the dorm. Not making noise to attract the others she made point to investigate the letter that had been slid under the door. Moving slowly, almost like a sleep walk she crouched and opened it, eyes scanning it before she rose and placed it on the table near the couch. She almost seemed in a state of trance as she moved to the door and emerged from the dorm, heading down the stairs she hadn't been prepared for the light of the outside when opening the girls dormitory main entrance and clasping her eyes shut. She groaned lightly as she let the doors close behind her and tried to look around with squinted sights. She hardly noticed another person smoking off to the side she ended up moving a small distance along the path before stopping and simply staring towards the Grand Hall. To any regular person she probably looked lost, stoned or even hung over. Her ginger hair a mess of curls hanging down her back as it had been the night before and her clothes hugging her lightly as she still squinted. Dulled eyes casted about as she crouched down and wrapped her arms around her legs like a hug and rested her chin upon her knees. She stared at the ground in front of her and didn't budge for what seemed like a fair while after that.
