Jase stayed with Casimir, his arms wrapped tightly round his shoulders, as if by gripping onto him he could keep him safe, keep him alive. He ignored the screaming voices, the sound of the screaming sirens approaching, the hoardes of panicking people that swarmed around. He half recognised some of the faces, but his through his tears all he could see was an image of a blurre nightmare, distorted by salt water. He felt someone kneel down beside him, he hard the vague echos of words uttered by a voice he knew. Scarlette was beside him, he heard the sound of her sobs and distraught rantings that rose and fell hysterically. She reached out towards Casimir, taking his burned hand in her pale, fragile looking one. "Get back, get back, you'll hurt him," Jase screamed suddenly, his only intention being to protect Casimir from everything, he wouldn't let him go, he wouldn't let them take him to the sunless lands.

Vaguely, Casimir felt a hand take his, let he had to strenght or power to take the person's. It was terrible though. His whole body was shaking even though his mind had long stopped, he could still feel the numbness. he was cold but hot, and his burns prickled badly on his skin. He wanted to reach out and itch them. It was horrible. He did not want to die in such a way. How pathetic. Some one holding him, but agianst his cheek he could still feel the grass and then came the sirens. His lips moved, although no sounds came out but the next thing he could feel was his body being lifted up and then he was moving. An ambulance he thought weakly. people were prodding him now. How confusing. everything was happening as if someone had pressed the fast-forward button. But was this ambulance an illusion? He could ot know as his eyes stung and burned. But...he only hoped that it wasn't.

About a minute later, Cat arrived back at the scene with the school nurse, who's jaw dropped with shock as soon as the old woman saw the forest. Before she could speak, Cat had already dragged her over to where Jase, Scarlette, Casimir, and Albino were. The nurse frantically checked her fanny pack and pulled out a large tube of some sort of ointment. She bent down as quickly as she could for an elderly woman and squeezed a bit out of the tube. "What are you doing?" Cat asked, trying to stay calm even though inside she just wanted to curl up in a ball alone and die. It was survivor's quilt getting to her, even though Casimir hadn't died.
Before the nurse could do anything, however, two men with a stretcher came over to them, and several firefighters followed them as well. One noticed Cat coughing and dragged her away from the scene in an iron grip. "No, no, I'm fine, let me go!" she screamed, flailing and digging her heels into the ground. Some other men came to take the others away too. "Leave me alone!" she yelled. Because of her resilience to go, the firefighter easily picked her up and took her away. "NO!"

More cries and shouts, even though he was moving away in an ambulance. He could hear everything though, but still nothing. It was if all life had left him but his heart was still beating. The sensation was awkward but not pleasant. All was confusing and a large blur. He mind was totally numb, just little snaps of thoughts came to her and voices. Voices. Where they voices from the unknown? Or where they actually there. He did not know.

The firefighter finally dropped Cat, but held her arm in an iron grip. They were right beside a fire truck, and he pulled out his radio. "Bring the others," he instructed, and another firefighter nodded in his direction back where Jase and Scarlette still were. Cat saw the other firefighters drag Scarlette and Jase over towards the truck as well. Once this was done, he forced a breathing mask over each of their faces.
