Looking down at her hand she was on the move before it registered that it was Sutton. Feeling the sand hitting her she whined from the pain for the little pellets coming at her. She had played paint ball once and this was much worse then that she thought.

All of the sudden her hand was empty as something pulled the girls apart. Stopping she tried to find which way Sutton had went, but the sand was moving around so much she had no clue which way to even look. Minerva tried to move forward, but the wind was knocking her back. She tried harder to run towards an object she could make out in front of her, but the wind kept pulling her until she lost the fight and fell to her back. Rolling over to her side Minerva held her face with her hands hoping it could help protect her face from the painful sand.
This was ridiculous.

How was this allowed? The professor was putting the students in terrible danger and causing them pain. Was SHE going to sit here and heal them all when this whole debacle was over, or would they all simply have to flood up to the Healer? Somehow, Sutton got the feeling that the healer would NOT be happy about the latter.

She had no idea what had happened to Minnie. They were supposed to be in this together, and not even 10 minutes in, they had lost each other. Army crawling through the sand (with one good arm, mind you), Sutton began groping her way around the rock, but she didn't find Minnie. That meant she was somewhere out there.... Alone and scared.

Sutton had to find her.

How would she do it with all of this sand blowing in her face though. She groped away from the rock, keeping her eyes and mouth shut as she crawled across the beach floor. Standing up sounded like a terrible idea. The longer she searched for Minnie, the more terrified she became.

GRRRRRRR! "This is awful!!!!!" she shouted at the endless stretch of sand surrounding her. Her jaw set, Sutton came up and sat on her knees. Enough was enough. "Protego!" she yelled, casting the basic shield charm before her and concentrating with all her might on shielding herself from the sand. Sutton wasn't sure that her shield would be powerful enough to protect her from anymore coconuts, but at least she could open her eyes now.

It was still extremely hard to see, but at the moment the wind gusts changed directions, Sutton spotted a blonde figure laying in the sand, several feet on the opposite side of the rock. Getting up on her feet but staying crouched as low as possible to keep the wind from catching her, she made a mad dash for the rock. The wind suddenly changed directions and she was slammed hard against it, her injured shoulder hitting an area of the rock that was jutting out.

Sutton felt hot tears down her face, making paths through the sand... and then she felt water that was cold. Her protego caellum charm was failing, but she had to help Minnie first. Sucking in a deep breath that sent a spike of pain through her shoulder blade, Sutton ran toward Minnie, diving out of the way of a coconut heading for her and landing hard on the ground. She stretched out her painful left arm and gripped Minnie's wrist. Once again, she cast "Protego Caellum!" over herself, and then she cast another basic Protego charm before her and Minnie's heads to protect their eyes from the sand.
