Palila was relived to have Marina jolt into action- dragging her the whole way would have been much harder. As it was, she felt as though she was watching herself in third person perspective. She could hardly feel the thump of her feet against the ground, or the breath in her chest. Even the sounds in the scene were dulled, coated in a blanket of shock. They were running, but now they both had their backs to all their enemies.
Palila just hoped that the grotle was still blocking the way.

As the two girls ran for cover past Tony, Palila reached out to smack him in the cheek. At this point in time, she probably didn't even realize she was angry. She did it from a blank face of total serenity. Slapping someone was such a mild form of aggression compared to what they had just witnessed. It was nothing. It was the only thing she could do. It seemed the most logical way to get him to pay attention and run. She vaguely noticed her hand feel tingly from the effort.
If it made him cry, well, that was too bad.

Just a few more steps, and they would be able to dive behind trees or bushes.
From then on, she would let go of Marinas hand and hope that everyone else knew to scatter like rabbits.
