Her breathing faltered, eyes wide as she saw the creatures turning and moving in the direction that the ball had dropped.

Wider eyes and cold-laced fear wrapped around her heart at the sobbing Toddles and the noise and the look on the creatures faces and the ...................... they were gone. Unblinking, she looked around the room as she bit her lip, terrified to move.

..... She didn't know if she still wanted to stay and practice her gymnastics when they were being let out early... she could go and start on some of her homework. 24 inches was a lot, especially when she didn't know anything about non-verbals yet. Not really.
