Her eyes widened, and she tried to move but before she could found herself being taken by Antosha, her heart racing fast. "What is it?" she whispered, knowing that stealth obviously wasn't much of an option anymore. Mathew ran with her, following Julie's pointers of where to go. He didn't recognise any of this part in the school, and only prayed that Julie knew where he was going. 'Yeah, sure...' he said slowly, just to avoid an argument, though it was clear that he didn't believe that they were so attached to the students.

Jule rolled her eyes, pointing to the grand doors a few meters off. Antosha nodded grimly, picking up his speed till he was flat out running. "Something wants the guides." he managed between breaths, finally able to hear what had caused Julie and Mathew so much grief. They had reached the door in under a minute, a new personal best for Anto. He set Diane down, pushing her inside the doors and waited for the spirits.

She felt a flurry of emotions, "They want... Julie and Mathew?" she asked, frowning. She could tell how much that would destroy Antosha, and she didn't know what she would feel without Mathew. She felt herself going through the door, pulling Antosha back as well as Mathew followed them quickly.

"Yes." Antosha said quickly, motioning Julie to hurry up. She fell into the school, just as he slammed the doors shut with an audible CLICK. Now the only way that thing would be getting in was if someone had left a doors open. Or perhaps a gateway...

She looked at him, looking at the door, holding out her hand instinctively for Mathew to hold. If they couldn't be cold, she could at least feel his ear, and it was putting her on edge. "Are we safe now?" she asked.

"Ask Mathew." he said, stubbornly kneeling down to check that Julie was all in one piece. 'I'm fine! Worry about everyone else.' she snapped, standing up and dusting herself off. Sometimes, when she wasn't trying she had the ability to look almost alive. Antosha laughed, smiling at his guide, they were very much alike.

She frowned, "Uh... how? I'm not psychic, and he can't talk to me..." she said slowly. Or at least, she assumed that he couldn't speak to her. She'd never really asked him anything before, but had just felt somethings which she had needed to know. Now she knew nothing; did that mean he knew nothing?
'I... I don't know,' he told Julie, shrugging. 'I can't hear it anymore, can you?' he asked her.

"You should be able to." Antosha said, shaking his head. Julie quickly peeked her head out the door, searching for somethign before retreating back inside. 'Nothing, I think it's over.' she said, smiling. "They think it's gone." Antosha said out loud, after Julie had told him of course.

She leaned back against the wall, sliding down it and putting her head in her hands. "I can't take anymore of this, Antosha..." she said softly, letting her hair fall over her face, trying desperately to just stop herself from vomiting or crying or collapsing.

"Dear, what's wrong?" he asked, grabbing her quickly. Antosha cradled her in his arms, watching her carefully. His movements were slow so he didn't startle her, but still fast compared to normal people's slowness.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe that this isn't the first attempt on my life in the last week, maybe that this isn't the only stress I have at the fucking moment?" she snapped at him, lowering her head again and covering her head with both her hands and her hair. "sorry," she mumbled, barely audible through the wall of hair.

"It's fine, you've had a rough week." he smiled at her, knowing that her more then it did him. He gently brushed away her hair, trying not to seem overprotective. Julie sighed, gently kissing Diane on the forehead as she'd learned from Anto.With a sad smile to Mathew she faded back out of everyone's sight.

She shook her hair, letting it fall over her head again. "I just want to go home..." she muttered under her breath. "I just want my mum and dad to hold me and tell me everything's alright..." she said slowly, her body shivering from sobbing.

He knew he couldn't do much, if anything at all. So Antosha just stood there, holding Diane until she stopped crying. His arms wrapped around her like a cocoon, protecting her from everything in the world outside. This school maybe a top magical one, but as far as everything else went it sucked.

She wiped away the tears throwing up her head and saying, "I'm fine, I'm fine!" speaking at the speed of light as she stood up, almost hurting Antosha with her speed, and continued to pace around, knowing that she couldn't stop. "We-um, we should do something, right? Stop the big bad? Call the people in charge and what-not, hm?" she asked, still unable to slow down.
