Rylee's fight or flight instincts kicked in real fast. Should they try to make a run for it or fight? What were the odds of out running Inferi that were very quickly closing in on them. Whether they stood their ground and fought or turned and fled how far would a second year and first year get by themselves?

With trembling hands and frightened blue eyes she cast a quick glance at Quinn. "We need to get away... I can hear shouting from down the pathway, we need to get to whoever's there..." She was unable to make out who the voices were but from all the screaming happening there had to be several people over there. Strength in numbers... and they didn't have the numbers on their side right now. It was just a matter of how. How were they going to get away.

"Incendo!" Rylee cast again over and over at any Inferi that came anywhere near herself and Quinn. The smell was enough to make her sick as if the fear itself wasn't enough. Thin bony fingers were to close for her liking and she backed right up into Quinn grabbing the girls hand. "The moment you can, run. Keep casting Incendo at them and run. We need help..." There was a plan now. Run. Cast incendo and run. Completely un-Rylee like but even she was smart enough to know when to run.

The Gryffindor wasted no time in running down the pathway the first chance she got, her hand still holding tightly onto Quinn's bringing the younger girl with her. Every chance she got to cast a spell (incendo or flipendo) in hopes of slowing the inferi down she did.

What was that?!

Rylee's eyes widened in fear, her head pounding in her ears as she came to a very sudden stop. There right up ahead was a crowd of inferi attacking her friends! It didn't matter if she was close enough to see who was who. All she knew was she had to do something! But...what?
