In an impressive fit of dexterity the Reeve manages to escape Tom and the fact that the student is currently being flayed probably helps quite a a bit too.
By this point the room is already a mess with shotgun shells having blown huge chunks out of furniture and people in various degrees of pain all around. The butler that Matthew had possessed seconds before rises from the floor somewhat sluggishly before setting his eyes on Chris. In them, there is nothing: a perfect calm of a coma patient. But the face is distorted into a frozen grimace of pain.
Meanwhile, the Vampire with half his face blown off jerks his head up and everyone is suddenly capable of sensing his Beast. It is an angry one, but far too preoccupied at the moment to bother with Predator's Taint. Before anyone can realise what has happened, the Vampire is gone: Celerity and the Beast carrying him through the open door and dozens of yards away toward the corridor.

Having seen her partner escape, Aurora abandons any attempts at attack. With urgency, the woman claps her hands together but, strangely, there is no sound. A wave-like shimmer spreads from her palms and envelops her entire body in mere seconds. The dagger she was holding falls with a clang and the clothes rustle to the flooras if the person inside them has just deflated into nothingness. Where there was a blond professor before there is now an indistinct shape wavering in mid-air. She moves right at Chris and, before the Mekhet realizes what is happening Aurora passes right through the Vampire. The sensation is just... wrong. Her speed is pretty normal but she is definitely not corporeal.
A faint whisper reaches Chris:
"Let us go..."
Matthew moves to leave Laura's body to pursue her but then glances at the shotgun still in his hands and curses. Leaving the girl be would be very, very stupid right now.
Chris breaks the hold and is free to move.
Next turn. Init Order: Shadow 14 (17 this turn with Celerity - disappeared down the corridor in Rotschreck), Aurora 16 - at the door, incorporeal, Katya 15 (is UP), Tom 14, Rina 13, Laura (Matthew) 12, Chris 9 (if no Celerity), Other Butler 8.
