Annabeth looked at him with confliction in her gaze, her head quickly spiraling to Alice once she groaned again. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw it, the reflex of Justin's hand trying to move in her direction. Trying to help her.
He wanted to save her.
She moved aside, allowing him to pass and immediately Justin swooped down and gently lifted Alice off the ground into a princess carry.
"B-be careful…" Annabeth called out, immediately standing up on her position on the ground, rising to their side to assist in the little she could.
Justin simply nodded his head, his eyes glued on Alice's pale face. "I know," he replied, his steps immediately going forward with her laying in his arms.
Quickly, they ran into the mansion, a sense of panic running through both of them, especially Justin. He looked down at Alice and then back up again and then back to her. "Alice, Alice, hello?"
