Masami's POV

Masami was growling to herself on the inside. What the fuck was this? Carrie trying to steal Darwin again just made Masami sick. Eventually he settled on the traitor! He trusted a traitor more than Masami! At the moment, Carrie was just eying her from across the room. What was with that girl and her body? She had legs, and next thing you know she was a ghost again. Must be new as well, since Masami hadn't noticed her around school like that. Tobias always told her to not think about her own problems during the storm, but this could be more than the storm! This could decide Masami's life choices.

Masami stopped herself, knowing pouting would do no good. She was being overly dramatic. Breathing in and out, Masami gained control again. She was helping the people, saving her friends. Staying focused, she stuffed her bag with assorted cupboard food. She shadily glanced at Carrie, who was doing the same.

Carrie seemed to be going through many emotions at the time, so Masami decided to let it go for a small bit. Carmen, on the other hand, was productive as ever, having already filled her backpack. She was gathering items for both of the classmates who seemed to be at war. Masami started to go into depression, thinking about Carrie and Darwin's relationship.

As far as Masami knew, they might have already kissed! What personality or traits did that emo have that Masami didn't? Was she not good enough for a guy like Darwin? All these questions floated in her mind; depression, denial, self-consciousness. It was starting to get to her, and had a feeling she would never accept their relationship.

Masami, out of rage and many other emotions, punched the wall next to her. Her arm felt like a needle was stuck through it, which made her grab her fist in agony. Carrie and Carmen looked on with pure fear and surprise, and Masami followed their view. Her mouth dropped open, peering at the fist-shaped hole she just made in the wall. The straight wood that was used to build these manufactured walls was gone before her.

Who, what, when, where, why, how?

Masami hasn't punched anything in a long time, but she was pretty sure her punches didn't go through straight wood. Course her mother was a good martial artist, but that didn't mean her genes carried on. Yuki wasn't born a good martial artist, she was made one. Carrie and Carmen looked like they wanted to be somewhere else.

Masami calmed her racing thoughts and steadied herself on the wall she just punched. Masami felt like it was necessary to say "Sorry wall" but she prevented herself from doing so. Getting a grip of the raging, terrified bull she was, Masami breathed heavily. Carrie and Carmen stared her down with confusion while Masami tried to get a hold of herself.

It was cold, but not cold enough for her breath to be seen. Carmen finally found the courage to gingerly step over to her.

"Masami. Are you okay?" she asked holding her shoulder. Carrie still stood in the corner of the room with wide eyes, her 'bravery' truly showing. But even the undead had to get scared at some point, and Carrie had supposedly reached said limit.

"I'm fine" Masami replied through shaky words, signifying that she was not, in fact, fine.

There was an excessive dripping of water from the roof. It should be okay, but the water was pouring through, looking like a small waterfall. Carrie and Carmen noticed it too, until Masami looked outside.

"Oh shit" she blurted out loud. The two others followed her gaze, and stared for a few seconds at the mass of water that was upon them. The flash flood had been quick, living up to it's name. And soon, it would be fatal as well.
