Amber grabbed her stuff and cat and leaped into the crowd. She was bashed between kids, each time she hit one she let out a little "ahh!" and the occasional "Sorry." In all the moving, pushing kids she lost sight of Kadyn and Cyrus."Kad- OOF!" she called as she got shoved by a large passing child. "Grr..." Then she heard Kadyn. "Yes!" and ran over.
