Being the species he was, Alex had the ability to sniff things out from a good distance away, which meant that smoke came before the sirens did. That was enough to get his ass up and moving with a good dose of anxiety already biting at his heels.
The sirens themselves, however, were what really set him off. They were loud, piercing sounds and were the harbinger of chaos without a doubt. Everyone was screaming, demanding, ordering and somehow that mix of aggression was louder than the thing that was supposed to be violently loud. The wolf pup grit his teeth, whining and pawing at his ears. He felt his heart would burst with how fast it was going, just completely give out or something. It was rushing in his ears, which did nothing to help literally everything else.
Alex stumbled down the halls from his room, legs shaking so violently that it impeded his ability to walk and destroyed any possibility to run. He coughed, the smell of smoke was disgusting and invasive. If he didn't die of smoke inhalation, the fire would finish the job. His eyes watered, but he wasn't sure if it was from the smoke or if he was just crying from fear. Both, maybe?
"Live or die, live or die, live or die-"
He wasn't moving any faster, and felt his entire body shut down. He was going to vomit. He was too young to die, but...he couldn't bring himself to move. Everything hurt. He was useless, a liability. He took a deep breath, which wasn't a good idea as he soon found out after inhaling another gust of smoke.
[color=white]"You're not useless. You're not alone anymore."
One more push and his emotions completely shut off. He was still shaking real bad, but all concern for his own wellbeing had been pushed down within himself. He stared back into the smoke, like staring down an enemy much bigger than himself. A monster. He could have sworn it growled at him, or maybe it was just the fire.
"Suiteheart!" Everyone else was fine, supported, or backed up the rear. Suite was going back in, he...he couldn't just run and let her be alone in this pillar of smoke and death. He pushed himself back into the dark grey cloud, hacking up a lung and almost headbutting her side when his vision was impaired.
"I'm not scared, i'm not scared, i'm not scared."
