Damon looked down at the girl who was clinging to his shirt, and then at the boy who had put a hand on her shoulder. Both of which were young, innocent of blood. Damon wasn't. He'd killed before....and now, he was thinking he'd do it again.
His fists clenched tightly, and only tighter when he heard the distressed sounds of Brooke and Aza down the hallway; Brooke had been hurt, badly by the sound of it. Again. It shouldn't have surprised him, but the sound of her crying sent a wave of pure rage through his system, making his entire frame grow rigid and tense. His jaw clenched tightly, his teeth grinding together, and he looked at the boy, meaning in every inch of his face. He was literally begging Lysander to take the girl away from him, so that he wouldn't kill her, and maybe even all of them in the process.
With tight control, he reached his hand down, unclenching his rage-filled, shaking fingers, and gently undid Lillian's hand from his shirt, then slowly stepped away from her. His entire body was quivering now, intense heat racing through him at the front of his anger. He breathed in tight hisses, and stepped completely away from them, moving to the other side of the hallway. He turned and braced his hands on the wall, leaning into it. He scrunched his eyes shut, and his fists closed accordingly; digging and biting deep into the cement, cutting into it and gouging huge, fist-sized chunks from it. The loosened gravel clattered noisely to the ground at his feet, the dust creating a fine silt on his bare feet. He could care less. All that mattered was that this wall wasn't one of his friends...that this wall wasn't Brooke.

Raquel, with trembling, weak limbs, slowly began to drag herself over to the boy, making it her sole purpose to reach him. Something, akin to the pull she felt to Asylum's bowels, was pulling her to the boy. She reached him after many painstaking minutes, her breath coming in tight gasps. She slowly leaned back on her knees, and looked up at the small boy, her dark hair falling in her face, her eyes pained, but hopeful. She managed an incredibly weak half-smile, and reached up with shaking fingers, gently wiping the tearstreaks off of his cheeks. "Hello," she breathed, her voice fading in and out of audibility.
{{Bleh, fail. xD}}
