"Zara!" I scream as she slips out of my grasp and is swept away into the crowd.
Just as I was about to run in her direction, another loud pop goes off, deafening me, and rendering me motionless.
"Watch out!" I hear someone yell as I get tackled to the ground. "Why the hell are you just standing there?" Marcus, it's Marcus. Relief washes over me as I stand up.

"What are you doing still standing here?" He scolds me, then grabs my hand so we can run through the crowd.
"What's happening?" I raise my voice so he can hear me through the chaos.
"Do I look like I have time to explain?" He replies, not looking back.
