Noctis had been enjoying not only the game but the after party as well. Everyone’s guards were down and Noctis was getting away with a lot of money. He might actually pay for his school supplies this year. That would be nice.
But everything good of course had to come to a bad end. The attack happened and Noctis easily hid out of sight waiting for it to be over. Or that had been his planned until he spotted Marina running across his view and tripping when someone ran right into her. Idiot. Noctis watched her fall hard and stayed down.
“Come on. Get up,” Noctis whispered to himself as he watched Marina but she wasn’t getting up. Swearing Noctis appeared out of what could of been thin air and was moving over to Marina.
“How hurt are you?” Noctis asked as he knelt down in front of her. He saw the pain on her face and eyes. She wasn’t getting. “Arms around my shoulders. Hold on.” Noctis order as he placed an arm under Marina’s knee and around her waist. He picked her up with ease, she was rather light, and started to head back to his hiding spot.
