Every room is filled with clouds of smoke. As I explore the first floor I realize I don't know very many people and not very many people know me. Also, most people are too busy making out with the first person they could to notice I am even there. I notice eventually that Glimmer is no longer walking with me, so I assume that she wondered off in a different direction.
The smell of smoke infests my nose and won't go away. I start coughing, signaling myself to get outside as soon as possible. As I spin around looking for an exit from my imminent death, I begin to feel very dizzy and light head from both the spinning and the inability to breath. I spot a large area that resembles the darkness of night outside. I stumble and trip my way to what appears to be an exit, bumping into to people and falling into walls.
I arrive at the door, having to hold the frame and take several deep breaths. Feeling a little better I take a few steps into the cool, fresh air of the evening. I close my eyes, after taking a glance at the full moon, to take deeper breaths. Just as I take a breath in I hear a large huff from near-by.
I open my eyes to see Macey standing a short distance from me in a large group of people.
