Annie did her best not to look a bit hurried as she looked behind him.  "Well that's actually why I'm here.  I need you to come with me to your dorm" she said suddenly.  It was getting closer, it's claws scratching the rooftops and a visible growl could be heard from deep within it's throat. If they didn't hurry up and get moving, his life would be in danger.<br/><br/>She decided to simply take a chance and grabbed his arm forcibly, using her strength to actually move the boy quite easily as she began to run to the dorm.  Though it was urgent that he make it back, she still needed to run at human speed, so he wouldn't be suspicious or freaked out.  Still, even at that speed she was still pretty fast, allowing her to easily guide him down the sidewalk.<br/>It wasn't until she could spot the entrance to the dorm house that suddenly, the creature jumped ahead of them and blocked their path.<br/><br/>It's claws were coal black and it's charcoal-like fur pattern sunk into a malevolent satin blue color. The creatures back was hunched with it's spine bone visible along it's thin layer of skin.  The form appeared to be rather cat-like, with it's glowing yellow eyes and ivory colored fangs.  It stood the size of 3 men and was rather large in structure.<br/>Annie repressed the urge to curse as she suddenly stopped, keeping Alec behind her.  With a huff she shoved the boy back.<br/><br/>"Listen to me Alec, stay calm!  I need you to run towards your dorm and STAY PUT. Do you understand me?" She explained to him, keeping her eyes locked on the creature as she made her sword appear.  She drew it from it's hilt and held it in a defensive position.<br/>If he didn't do as she said, he would be out in grave danger.  He needed to move...NOW.
