Of course. She wanted this done quickly. Her dad was following her, managing to keep up much to Charlie's surprised. Okay, so this wasn't one of the lumbering zombies. Good to know in an 'oh shit this is unexpected' sort of way.
So, she speeds up some and that helps, keeping an even distance between herself and her dad. Merlin's help with the other ghouls is incredible and she spares a moment to thank God for him.
She turns, looking over her shoulder to make sure Merlin is okay and that her dad is still locked onto her then looks ahead towards the stadium.
Almost there. Good. Someone saw them coming and is already getting ready for their arrival, ready to help herd her dad inside. They were already busy with one Ghoul but Charlie doesn't even look.
She probably really should because that figure she thought she saw? He's there. He's the other ghoul that's being herded in and the second Charlie's close enough...
Well, what happens is a sort of blur, isn't it? One minute she's headed back towards Merlin, the next minute she's being yanked backwards, there are teeth in her shoulder and then whatever's biting her is backing away from the instinctual push of fire from Charlie.
It's a good thing the handlers back off, too, because the sword Charlie brought with her is out and in motion and Rainbird's zombie look-a-like goes down.
Headless.
Sif is so getting some kind of gift basket for those sword-fighting lessons. And Charlie, who to her credit didn't make a single sound when it happened, finally has something to say about the situation.
