Moira freezes when a sudden wind extinguishes the lights in the passage, keeping herself still while she tries to figure out the cause of said breeze.

She hears the shuffle of feet in rapid movement, and she turns to reach for James who is only a few feet away from her when the sounds of struggle and of someone, most likely James, hitting the ground with significant force.
"James?" She calls out after him, trying to remember a spell to help improve her vision in the darkness. By the time she utters the incantation, James is no longer where he was previously standing, and all she can do is follow his cries of her name further into the darkness.
