The sounds of hundreds of feet running along the crowded street could be heard along with several other elements of the chaotic scene.
Eva nearly ran out of the car at the sight. She had seen protests gone bad before but nothing like this had ever been in her view before. People were scattered together all yelling and screaming obscene things about mutants, while police and other officials were desperately trying to keep them from the city hall steps. Which was a task they were clearly failing as several people had gotten passed them and began banging on the doors with an incomparable fury.
As Jainy parked the car several feet away from the sight Eva ran up ahead of her, ignoring her friend's warnings and losing her in the crowd as she ran into the herds of people. Elbows met her in the face, and the smells of about a dozen different colognes entered her nose.
Eva turned her head sharply at the sound of glass shattering, she could see incredibly large men with bricks armed in their hands happily aiming at the windows of the large building.
A voice came to the ears of the mad people as a obese police officer with extremely gray hair walked out of a car and began yelling through a microphone.
"Hey!" He yelled for attention. Although this had to be repeated several times before anyone actually took notice.
"Listen up everyone!" He roared. "We realize everyone here has something to say but this isn't the time...or the place to get your voices heard! Now there are people inside here that need our help, but we can't do that if everyone doesn't leave the area now! If you chose not to then we'll have to start taking arrests and-"
The sudden movement of the ground shaking beneath them silenced the man...and everyone else for that matter.
"Earthquake!" Some woman shouted.
"No! It's just them damned mutants again!" Screamed back another man.
At this comment more uprising began and people once again began angrily shouting. "Those freaks don't deserve any rights!"
Meanwhile the ground shaking beyond them had increased with trumped power and began knocking several people off their feet. Unfortunately Eva was one of them, but as she started to head back to her feet a large and probably overweight man pushed her back down.
People were running away now. And despite her sincere try foot after foot seemed to trample upon her back until firm hands grabbed her by her waist and threw her into place. Blinking several times and throwing the hair back from her face she recognized her latest helper.
"Let's go!" Screamed Toad over the sounds of fire horns, screams, and people who appeared to be truly terrified as they ran passed them with widespread horror.
"I can't my parents are still inside!" She screamed back.
Waiting to argue but leaving without words the shaking ground began to crack and fold into two. Along with the faded out pavement the city hall building itself started falling to the foundation and splitting itself in half.
Filled with shock and confusion Toad grabbed Eva's hand and didn't wait for her response as he began running and dragged her along the now abandoned street with him.
"Wait! Let me go! I have to help them!" She screeched as she wiggled in his grasp. But ignoring her completely he led her down the calmer end of the busted up street. And crossing into a nearby ally behind the town's famous deli he was surprised to hear feet above them on the roof.
A bright red pair of eyes were luring above the gutter...A smiling set of fangs attached to the same face.
Squinting to the sight Toad couldn't help but wonder if he had seen those eyes somewhere before. Looking around to the girl out of breath at his side he was ready to ask her the same, but a violent and unlikely response came from her mouth.
"What is the matter with you!" The shaking had stopped and her question rang in the air like an accessory to the event.
Looking back at her furious eyes he was about to say something when she interrupted the thought.
"They could be hurt or something!" Ignoring his confused face she began to run back in the direction of the strange silence but he caught up with her quickly.
"What in the bloody hell are you talking about?!"
Pushing him aside she continued on her journey yelling names that he assumed belonged to her parents.
"You could of been killed out there! Probably would of been! Forget the concepts of hero, even if your parents were in trouble you couldn't of done anything to help them anyway!"
She shook her head as she folded her arms across her chest willing herself not to listen to him.
"What were you even doing here anyway? And why-"
Her sharp intake of breath scared him as he knew the accusation that was coming. She briskly turned around and her eyes widened with fear as she asked.
"Were you...were you a part of this?" She asked through a whisper. But not giving him time to answer she turned and began running faster than ever to the sight where dozen of police and fire personal were now gathered.
"Eva wait!" He retreated yet still trying to keep attention away from Eva and himself from the police officers that were now looking in their direction. Unable to find the words he tried to pull her back to him to avoid staring eyes. But her cold and distant flinch away from his hand said everything that needed to be said.
"Just stay away from me..." She said with a cracking shiver. Turning and running she felt her heart unclenching at the sight of her parents being escorted to a small ambulance parked nearly on the curb.
"Mom! Dad!" She called.
"Eva?" Said he father as he turned around to be embraced by his only daughter. His shirt covered in dust and his jacket torn, not to mention the broken glasses that lye in his hands along with a bloody hand. But other than that he was no more worn for the ware. Her mother was a similar story as the conversation she was having with a nearby officer was cut short by Eva.
"What are you doing here?" She asked through well-deserved tears.
"I heard what happen at school and-" She folded herself into her mother's shaking form and hugged her until her Father grabbed each of them by the shoulders and folded them into his own hug.
None of them noticed the somber, green face in the tree tops.
