<i>What the fuck?</i><br/><br/>"No seriously, what the fuck?"  Rivers yelled as the minotaur stepped out into view.  He hadn't wanted to come with them, but he hadn't really been given much choice.   Sure, it was all good to race and help people, to help those who had been caught in the earthquake, but normal people didn't really like being around him.<br/><br/>The feeling was mutual.<br/><br/>Rivers didn't like normal people and they found him weird.  It was the only reason he'd agreed to meet Celeste at her own, in the hopes of finding souls just like him.  Those that were different.  He didn't count on it being this different.<br/><br/>His focus was on the minotaur until he saw the smoke sink in around him.  While it seemed to somewhat dissipate, it still clung to his skin like a second skin.  Intrigued (and a little freaked out because he didn't know how that happened) he's caught off guard with the shot from the gun, and the explosion of the air cylinder.<br/><br/>Then, the ground shakes as the minotaur roars and Rivers' heart jumps into his throat.  The minor second of relief that he felt when the minotaur didn't charge at him was short lived as it slammed into the girl he'd seen at the house.  What was her name?  Rhen.<br/><br/>Time seems to slow down as Nadia urges the beast towards her but Rivers is still focused on the brunette.  He reaches for her (Though they're on opposite sides of the street it seems) and yells.<br/><br/>"No!"  He panics, fingers stretching toward her as if he could catch her from the air and to keep her from hittng the ground or anything else.<br/><br/>Be feels the familiar tingle down his arm and then Rhen freezes in the air.  The brunette quickly races over to her just as she drops straight down.  He manages to catch her but they both end up going to the ground and he quickly lays her gently on her back.<br/><br/>"Shit, are you okay?"  He asks, glancing over his shoulder at the beast before looking back at her.
