run around-find somewhere to hide!”
Inside the hall, both Catherine and Harriet were visibly shaken, frantically shielding the students behind them..

keep them away from the young women.

floor.

their heads in an attempt to protect themselves.

When the students saw their parents, they rushed toward them in a panic, sobbing.
“Dad! Mom! It’s awful! They broke in and grabbed Ms. Young!”
Everyone's eyes turned to Rosalind. She’was pale, her hair disheveled, and her hairpins askew. Despite Athena's
