Bared teeth do little to scare off demons, she discovers. They take no heed of her size, her shape— broad and muscled and train to kill. They don't care. They are mindless, therefore fearless. She won't plead with them. She refuses.
"Get off—" shoulder wrenches nowhere. Legs kick. "Get off, damnit!"
But she can't—
Can't move, can't fight.
"CT—"
The black obelisk entryway consumes her. Connecticut disappears into the backstage.
And she's moving. Away. They drag Carolina by either arm through the auditorium doors kicking and howling and no one, no one, breaks their gaze to look at her. They seat her. She can't move. Can't turn her head, eyes fixed on whatever nightmare takes stage.
About wrap?
