As Jay crawled over the body, he checked for a pulse, but the twisted neck was obviously lifeless, but it eased his conscious to know.
Motion automatic, he didn't notice the thump to his heartbeat or the piercing search of his eyes. What loomed before him was unreal. A shadow amongst shadows, a big, blocky form with a frail silhouette dangling from his arms. The gleam of neon-red hair flickered as Wallet screens passed them by, oblivious to the carnage at their feet. The front rows were quickly being abandoned, most scrambling toward the exits, but some took to climbing the stage for escape. Escape from whatever caused screams to puncture the night. Escape from this thing? Maybe?
Nox jumped in front of it and the frail body of their teenie bopper was dumped to the ground. The hulk of a man lunged toward Nox and Jay grabbed the girl's arms. He encircled her, thankful to find them moving and reaching for aide. She screeched with terror, even at the hands that helped remove her from the danger.
Jay put her behind him. She crawled away on all four's along the aisle, screaming anew when she found the dead body. But Jay blocked the noise out, and concentrated on the danger ahead.
"NOX!"
he yelled in warning, but it was too late. The red head hulk attacked and Jay rushed to their aid, expertly aiming blows to take him down.

Only darkness shows you the light.
