While everyone was running out, Isla suddenly twisted her foot and fell down.
Elena frantically chased after her, "Isla… Isla…"
Isla knew that she was injured and she focused on healing her foot by a few acupressure techniques as she knew that nobody would carry her in such a chaos.
Reaching her, Elena stayed beside Isla and shielded her from the stampede.
However, Elena felt that she was overreacting, because the people fervently ignored Isla to avoid bumping into her, though they did not offer to give her any help.
Those running away gradually escaped, wave after wave. There were not too many people left.
Elena deduced from the thickness of the smoke that the fire would soon spread towards them. She could hear the ruckus going on outside, as well as the sounds of a fire engine.
…
Lucas tailed the firetruck in front of him as an ominous feeling filled his heart. He was certain that a fire must have broken out, though he had no idea where.
