One minute she was in the mud, next she was being stood back up straight. By Declan. "Thanks, I think I'll be..........."

But before she could finish that thought, she was tumbling down again. What?! Was the mud really that slippery? And why was she going downhill this time? Then she heard it. The word that struck fear right into her very heart. She'd heard of mudslides and the damage they could do before, especially if one was caught in the very bottom of one. She really didn't want to experience that. Nope. She started doggie paddling through the mud, searching for something to use as a sled, when she heard who she thought was Professor Romanos yelling to get to the side of the slide. Okay, that made more sense.

And random rope. Layla grabbed hold of it, tugging to make sure it was secure before reaching out to grab whomever was nearest and pulling them with her to the side.
