Juliette raced as fast as her little feet could carry her, taking to the stairs as the woman in the armour counted to twenty, loud and clear. She hurried to the very top and paused to catch her breath as the woman yell "Go! Find them!"
She glanced to the next flight of stairs, taking to them, her feet crunching on the snow as the roof was gone. She returned to wooden floors and raced as fast as she could to the end, hearing people run up the stairs below her. She paused, looking around frantically.
She looked forward, seeing the violet tent on the snow covered area the dining room once stood. She booked it to the end of the hall, ducking into a space between two pieces of broken wall.
Her left hand pressed against her chest as she caught her breath from the mad run up two flights of stairs. Footsteps came for the hallway she had and by the time she looked up Jannik stood in front of her. The Tigran, Shae, bounding in not far behind him. Jannik grabbed Juliette's right hand and announced "Found the child!" Shae grumbled and ran back out as Juliette's teammate yelled the safe word from the courtyard.
Jannik pulled Juliette to her feet and dragging her down the hallway, she tried to pull her hand away, the horrible pain from the injury on her hand bringing her near tears.
When they finally got to the courtyard, Jannik walking with Juliette in tow, he let go of her, taking his three points. Julie pulled her hand to herself, blinking back tears as the horrible pain began to fade. She turned, moving to sit on the bench behind her.
"I don't want to play anymore.." She said, sitting down and the only reply she received as she ducked her head to hide her face was "You're just a sore loser." She didn't disagree to the lie because no one would believe what she said anyways.
