"Two years!?" She stared at him, incomprehending, then spun towards thr building, hissing and staggering as the uneven ground hurt the soft soles of her feet. Stumbling towards it, she shied to a stop as she came to the place where the rain acted oddly, but then plunged through, half expecting some electric shock or other unpleasant sensation to punish her for the carelessness.
She wasn't sure what she was doing. Just, if any place held a way back, it would be this building. Maybe. Possibly? Yet the entryway was dark and imposing, and she slowed even before coming halfway towards it. Courage never was very strong in her, and her knees were still awfully weak.
And there was a cold, prickly touch of despair running its fingers down her back. It made her breath pick up again, the panic a living, writhing thing inside. Tears welled up in her own eyes, as the reality of the situatuon began to finally dawn on her.
Trapped? She was trapped. It was cold, and rain pattered against her head and shoulders, streaking down the face. Very wet. Very real.
A wordless, terrified sound slipped from her throat, and her fingers dig deep into the bare arms as she clutched herself tightly.
