Second and The Last Chance

My eyes opened in a hurry and I threw myself up, outstretching my hand as if grabbing onto something in front of me. But my hands only caught air. 

I was breathing heavily and there was sweat all over my face and body. Aside from that, I felt tired. Really tired. As if I had been working nonstop for quite a few days. 

I looked around and found that I was lying on my bed inside my dorm room in the academy. At first, my brain wasn't working at all, and everything seemed to have been paused for me. Then after a couple of breaths and blinking rapidly, I remembered what had happened. 

"Yeah, how can I forget," I mumbled to myself as I held my head; there was a singing pain that I'd been trying to ignore for a while now.
