Through the darkness he runs, arms pumping, dark hair whipping, eyes wide and watching for the demons that haunt him. He can't outrun them. He couldn't even hide from them. They found him in the jail cells, behind bars where he should've been safe.
Was he ever safe?
His heart beating, his chest tightening, and he flies toward sanctuary. The docks are up ahead. There's a boat and a way off this godforsaken place. He can't save anyone if he doesn't save himself.
"J.D.?"
He hears the familiar voice and stumbles, aware.
In the end he never had a chance.
