Dani knew she needed a better idea of who all, and how many, were in the library with her. She moved from her hiding spot behind the desk and crawled again, slowly. She went towards the back of the library and kept close to any corners she could quickly get behind if needed. She looked up and down the aisles taking in all of the other cowering and scared students. The sight hit her hard as she wondered again how this was actually happening to them. In real life. But then something caught her eye. Or someone. She saw a familiar crop of hair wedged between a chair and the wall. Elliott. A sort of relief flowed through her. Something familiar, someone she cared about that she could actually see was okay. She launched towards him and pulled the chair away enough to throw herself into his lap and hug him tightly around the neck. It wasn’t just a relief in her panic of saving everyone; it was comfort. It was a comfort that she had needed from the beginning of it all. A moment where she felt momentarily safe. “Ell..” Tears prickled her eyes and she just kept hugging him. Safe. Familiar.
