Panic ensued. There was only a moments hesitation for Cruz's safety. If the Atharim were behind this - and Nox had a bad feeling they were - open use of an ability after the announcement Ascendancy made - this had all the heraldry of a message to the world. And the Regus missing - there was no reason to hide what they were right now. Punishments could be doled out later... Fuck!
Nox stopped and grabbed Sage's arm. "Stay here till it's clear. Don't let Cruz show himself."
Sage nodded and Nox followed behind Jay over the rows of seats. He almost fell on top of Jay if it weren't for the chairs in front of him. Nox pulled out his wallet and turned on the flashlight app - fucking Atharim he had to do this the hard way even though his power was sitting just the edge of his mind dancing - calling - saying use me.
The man's neck was broken twisted like a owls. He was the teenie boppers body guard from earlier. Nox raised his makeshift light and saw the hulking red head standing over something....
No, someone. The hem of the girls jacket stuck out from the frame of the red head. Shit! It couldn't just be some damned ginger it had to be a strzyga. Fuck! And the only weapon Nox had was his power. But there were potentially Atharim all around.
Nox climbed over the last few rows to stand in front of the creature... blood dripped from it's mouth as it looked up at Nox with dead cold blue eyes. Nox grinned at it, but it wasn't going to taunt easily. Nox was hardly easy prey when a limp girl hung from its hands. But it tossed the girl to the side and focused on him with a growl that sent shivers down his spine. At least if the girl was a live she was out of harms way... Nox could defend himself, if he could get it away from here that was.
(( feel free to do the honors ))
