Penny tried to watch the movie after Charles left, but she couldn't focus. Her cuticles hurt from her picking and biting and she kept looking back to the exit. The girl nor Charles have returned and Penny thought it was suspicious. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the girls friend that she saw earlier get up and leave. What if she was a demon too? Could Charles take on two demons? He said you couldn't kill them and that you basically needed to exorcise them with Latin. Penny didn't know that stuff, but... should couldn't leave Charles to fend for himself, could she? 

Penny got up shortly after the other girl left and she peeked out of the theater room. The girl was standing outside the girls bathroom on her phone, but if Penny listened hard enough, she could hear bangs and grunts come from the room. Penny ducked back into the theater, her breathing heavy. What did she do? Did she call Christian? Dylan? Annie? Penny glanced at the snack counter and saw nobody behind it. Penny had a friend that worked in a movie theater once. She said most theaters keep scissors in the bottom cabinets in case they needed them to open something. Penny couldn't kill a demon, but maybe she could distract it long enough for Charles to get the upper hand. Penny took a deep breath with the intention of going to the snack counter, but something stopped her. Her feet felt frozen to the ground. The grunts and echoes from the bathroom rang in her ears, just under the screams from the horror film in the background. 

Charles told her to stay put because he was trying to protect her. Penny didn't know how to fight a demon. She didn't know how to fight at all. Penny sat back down in her chair and placed her hands under her thighs. She would make things harder for him. She watched the movie and tried to focus on it, but found that nothing she could do would make it better. She wanted Christian. She wanted to go home, though it's not like she had one right now.
