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.
Minerva had her face covered but could still feel the sand stinging her hand. This was horrible, her worse nightmare, ok maybe not worse nightmare, but it had to be close. She felt something hard hit her stomach and she let out air, What the heck?? Pulling one of her hands down she felt the object, coconut... great. Would this ever end. Minerva decided she was just going to stay in the position until class ended if she had to, but what if it didn't end, what if class would leave and she would still had her face covered. The professor would never leave students in a hurricane, right? Minerva wasn't so sure, if it was Lafay she knew the answer would be yes she would, but she wasn't sure about.. stop thinking like that Minerva you will be fine.
Just then she felt something on her again and heard a muffled sound. Now what was going on, Minerva then felt as if the sand wasn't hitting her as hard. Maybe it was finally stopping, Minerva took a chance and looked around. No it wasn't stopping she could see it all around her looking down she saw Sutton and smiled, "Thank I owe you one." she screamed. Trying to get up she got closer to Sutton, "Where should we try to go? This is horrible."
