When the storm took on another life, he hadn’t expected what would come next. The nearby lightning caused the building to shake. He looked around and saw many people scream or in tears of fear. Suddenly, a fire began outside, he didn’t know what for, though from his own training at moonlight he wanted to get a fire extinguisher. Though it wasn’t where he assumed it would be. “Fuck,” He looked around and lifted whatever scarf thing his costume had for him over his mouth. “Hey!” he called the nearest person to him. “Hey! Cover your mouth!” He yelled louder, “We need to find a way out of here!”

When the windows crashed Emilie didn’t have a moment to think, she suddenly felt little pieces of glass cut at her shoulders and fill her hair. Emilie Nolan was a smart girl, she knew she needed to hide and take cover, though she didn’t have a lot of time before a medium-sized branch from the nearby tree she’d admitted earlier flew with the wind and knocked her on her feet. Emilie knew her body would be sore, though she quickly kicked the arm branch off of her, “Fuck that’s going to hurt.” The rain quickly came pouring in, and she tried shielding her face. She sat with her back against the near wall and tried to look for someone. While the rain blurred her vision, she saw a figure. “Hey,” she called out, “Are you okay?”

"Of course this would fucking happen,” Bari mumbled to herself, looking down at her leg that had been shot from outside the venue. All she had been doing before the storm got worse and everything falling apart was saying goodbye to a couple that was leaving early. Leaning against the wall, she tried to put more pressure against her leg, her hands covered in her own blood. Taking deep breaths, she closed her eyes, feeling very thankful that she wasn’t shot anywhere else. All she could think about right now was Carson, Ben and her kids but she needed more pressure...needed something to help with the bleeding. “Does anyone have a towel?” She asked aloud, knowing she couldn’t see much due to the blackout.

After his argument with Emmaline, he was still angry and needed to cool off. His level of stress wasn’t suited for an evening like this. If only had hadn’t seen what happened in that box. If only he could ignore it. Though the gang he felt safe in for so many years suddenly changed, and he didn’t know what to do. Suddenly the storm became too much, and he heard the crash from the ballroom. His head turned and before he was able to make it back, the doorway was blocked form debris. His mind immediately went to Emmaline. With panic, he ran back and trying to make his way back into the venue, he was foolish to have left her in the first place. He tried to dig through, though there wasn’t any use, suddenly he heard gunshots, not knowing exactly where they were coming from, though knowing it wasn’t from in the venue. He quickly found shelter and pulled his phone to try and reach his girlfriend. He tried calling, “Emmaline?” He spoke through the deadline. Soon realizing his cell service was out due to the storm, he could only feel his heart tighten. “Fuck.” He cursed, wanting to throw his phone across the hallways.

Main Ballroom Starter: Open

The windows vibrated with the force from the weather, and Amelia dropped down just as the glass broke, only allowing a few pieces to scrape her cheeks. What was going on? Glancing upwards from her hands and knees, she scanned the crowds, looking for a familiar face among them. “Joshua?” Her brother’s name fell noiselessly against her lips, the dins of the wind carrying it off. “Is everyone okay?” Who else had been near her, Amelia couldn’t remember as she moved to stand, shielding her face from the incoming rain. “Hello?”
