Joey's P.O.V.
I began to panic when I first saw the flames.
We were practising the scene where Bug first came onto the ship; one of my favourite scenes.
I broke character, "Uhh, guys?"
"Joey! Jeez, don't break character!" called Darren from his seat at the front of the theatre.
"Dare, Is backstage usually on fire?"
"What? No-don't be stupid Joey!" he replied, slightly annoyed.
"Darren! Seriously, look backstage!"
The whole cast looked behind.
"Oh dammit, he's right!" said Lauren.
"Come on! Lets get out of here!" called Dylan, and they all made for the exit.
"Wait! I'll go get the others!" I called and ran backstage before they could object. I heard Joe call something, but I kept going, I couldn't believe it, all our work was probably on fire backstage, but what mattered was the others.
I called out, "Denise! Jaime! Brant! Where are you guys?!"
I couldn't find them anywhere, I feared the worst.
No, they couldn't be dead, they would have gotten out, I just know it.
I could barely breathe, the air was thick with smoke.
My head started to go fuzzy.
I was losing energy.
Then blackness.
