Kate was already on her feet, supporting herself on what was left of the wall, coughing. Something was happening not too far away from her, but she couldn't exactly tell what, because the view ahead was barely visible, as everything was covered in rubble and a thick layer of dust. Different voices reached her ears and she even managed to recognize some. Slowly limping towards the source of the noises, Kate noticed that Alex, who looked just as beaten as her, had asked her if she was alright. "I've never felt better," she muttered, flashing a forced grin. It was obvious that she was in pain, but she didn't want to show it. "Let's just find the others." They started walking forwards, when Kate suddenly stopped at the sight of a familiar face. His piercing blue eyes were as cold as ice and staring daggers at Bullet and Koda. The earth elemental felt a shiver run down her spine. Bullet looked like someone had just punched her in the gut. "Damien?" she barely asked with dry throat. Her shirt was torn at a few places and she had debris in her hair, but her eyes were clear and full of pain.
Kate had no idea what was going on, and even though she wanted to find out, she had to make sure that Eric and the others were alright first. But then the fire elemental all of a sudden shouted something at Koda, and Kate's eyebrows lifted, her head jerking toward the two boys. Koda was Damien's brother? "Hold on, you're brothers?!'' the surprise in her voice was audible, and sounded way too loudly in the hallway. She was shocked, but as soon as she saw Bullet's face she knew that she was probably feeling ten times worse. She looked like she was about to fall apart. However, no words escaped her. The girl just clenched her jaw, gave the two boys a little nod, and, trying to hold back the tears, she turned around and ran fingers through her matted hair, evening her breathing. Why hadn't he told her? Why did he decide to keep it a secret? What was going on? So many questions and no answers. And time wasn't slowing down, because things kept happening. One moment they were shocked at Damien's reveal, the other moment Lilly's voice was echoing from the other side of the hallway, along with pained noises. Eric, Kate thought, and with whatever will she had left, ran towards the sounds. She heard him shout that he was fine, but she had to make sure.
It wasn't long before she reached him and basically jumped on him, hugging him furiously. "Eric, I feel like I don't know anything anymore," she whispered, letting herself be vulnerable for a second, while burying her face in the crook of his neck. The moment ended too quickly. Kate heard Mikeal's voice and she realized that Damien wasn't the only one that was acting weird. Hastily pulling away and regaining her senses, she faced Lilly, who was holding an arrow made of light against the boy's throat. The earth elemental's eyes widened in fear, "Mike!" she yelled in panic, and without even thinking, the girl waved her hand, lifting Lilly off the ground and sending her away towards a wall that hadn't collapsed yet. As soon as she did it, Kate regretted it, but it was already too late. Lilly was her friend, but so was Mike. "Mike, are you hurt?'' she asked worried, rushing over to him and placing a hand over his shoulder to transfer some of her energy to him.
