While the pack was literally ripping each other apart, Violet and Lila quickly gathered all the containers, pastries, whatever they could manage, ignoring the bedlam erupting around them.
They stuffed the takeout boxes into their arms, balancing them precariously, and when it became clear they couldn't grab more without toppling everything, they agreed it was time to go.

The fight had expanded, spilling into every corner of the cafeteria. The entrance was completely blocked with the pack members clashing in an all-out brawl, snarling and lunging at each other. If they tried to push through, they'd no doubt get dragged right into the brawl — and lose their food.
"We can't go through the entrance," Lila said, reading her mind.
"There should be an emergency exit."
"That'll be crowded too with the students trying to get away from this madness," Lila pointed out. "We can't carry all this and fight for space." It was impossible.
