Julian's POV-

It was all silent, the lights shining bright from above everyone on the stage as I stood near my other actor, Kaleb, whom I also haven't figured out which supernatural he was amongst the others. We were all on the second to final scene of Alice in Wonderland during the trial scene of which I had the most to speak in during said scene as well, but now it was both Gabby and Sarah's now speaking to each other though for the scene it was more of an argumentative discussion.

"You are nothing but a pack of cards!" Sarah would then yell at Gabby which had also signaled to everyone else to start screaming and then getting picked up by Kaleb and heading off to the left stage wing.

Afterwards when everything had settled, with several mummers from both of the sides of the wings whilst the final scene was going on as we all were doing our best to keep as quiet as possible. Upon hearing the growing loudness of the audience clapping and cheering from beyond the wings as the rest of us were silently cheering to ourselves in knowing that we have finished another successful show as of recently. Afterwards it was then for us to come up back on stage to deliver an finishing bow with everyone cast and crew together as well as in unison, with the the applause continuing on further from that time until we went ahead to go get changed back into our regular clothes and out from our costumes.

Once coming back into the dressing room, I was already out of my costume and using wipes to quickly clean off the rest of the makeup upon my face. However as I was doing such act I happened to be in the bathroom once again as well whilst I was looking forward in the direction of the mirror as afterwards I would then put my face in the sink water to wash off whatever was still left on my face. Then grabbing a nearby towel to quickly dry my face off afterwards before turning to look back up at the mirror only to see Hyde appearing once again and also clapping his hands together though it was more in a complementary manner.

"Bravo I say, bravo to you my good sir." Hyde replied with a quick bow forward.

"Honestly I would consider this as self flattering." I commented.

"True, but still I would take this compliment. Nonetheless it seems that your show has gone rather well." Hyde said.

"Indeed it did, now would be as usual the aftershow dinner at IHOP." I remarked.

"A dinner? Wouldn't that in turn, have us outside of the boundaries of the auditorium?" Hyde then question.

"I'm sure everything will be fine this time, not like they're going to attack us with the whole troupe together. Plus we have Joshua watching us." I informed.

"I suppose you're right, but I say let me be a bit wary of anything off. Then we attack." Hyde stated with a gesture of slamming his fist in his hand.

"We try to escape first, then we'll fight if necessary." I said sternly.

"Fine.... as long as I have my part of it." Hyde said in return.

A few hours later

By now I was sitting at a table along with my friend group as this was actually several more tables that were put together for the rest of the troupe as if to make it an high table like we were all a royal family in a sense. Though to my other side was Selina whom I have gotten the chance to get to tag along with the others and now everything was going rather very well with my sight beholding everyone simply enjoying each other's company and such not to mention the amount of food on the table to make this become to appear of a huge feast to outsiders.

Though as the night went on and everything going swell as it could, I couldn't help but get the feeling that something dangerous was approaching and yet I couldn't tell if it was actually true or maybe just my habit to now assume the danger in the situation. At first I decided to ignore it and just act natural, but that quickly changed when I heard a scream from outside which sounded like a woman getting attacked. I thought I was just hearing things for a second but as I looked around I noticed that Selina and the rest of the troupe were looking in the direction of where the screaming came from as to my surprise there was a bit of a group of dead corpses now entering into the place with their purple glowing empty eyes and dark decaying skin.

"What the heck are those? Zombies??" I asked now standing up.

"Ghouls, basically low tier undead.... but what are they doing here?" Collin answered.

"That's the least of our worries, because there is more coming from outside!" Ashton pointed out.

"Well ain't that great..." Lily replied.

"Alright kids, code Red: guard Julian!" Walburn then yelled out as now as everyone was now up and about ready to immediately rush to the swarm of ghouls to fight off, including my friend group leaving me and Selina in the back.

"Well I don't know about you but I'm not planning to pay for the food nor want to end up as ghoul chow. So let's get a moving nerd!" Selina said now grabbing my wrist to pull me away to try and find an exit back somewhere.

"Couldn't agree more...!" I replied with a yelp upon getting yanked in the opposite direction of the troupe who was still in the midst of slicing or blasting back the incoming swarm of ghouls coming to the front.

By now things had just turned and twisted with the big feast at IHOP to now a full on frontal defense against some random ghouls and the troupe. No doubt this was the working of whoever it was that was after me, to which was already enough that other supernatural beasts were sent to capture and now there's a full on swarm being sent to get me. I mean there is so much flattering I could handle even towards myself, and now there's just me and Selina still looking around for an exit without trying to get into confrontation with any of the ghouls. Though just as I was thinking that, one of the ghouls has fell through from the back that was now blocking our path to getting out of the restaurant. And so this meant we would have to push through with force, and just before Selina could go ahead to attack I had already delivered a hard right hook towards the ghoul making it's head suddenly blown off as the body fell down before us.

"Well, I guess that's covered.... kinda hot if I'm being honest..." Selina then muttered.

"What was that?" I asked.

"No time to answer, let's get going!" Selina replied again as she pulled on my arm once again to continue to find our way out of the restaurant.
