Desperate Times

Ethan abruptly opened his eyes and found himself lying on the floor.

He had fallen off from the bed, and the sound of it woke Nicole from her slumber.

“What’s wrong?” Nicole asked. “You look very pale.”

“Lily,” Ethan said through gritted teeth. “Progenitors kidnapped Lily!”

“What?” Nicole, who thought that maybe Ethan had just had a bad dream, helped him up from the floor.

“Nicole, I’m sorry. But please, let’s hurry back to the academy,” Ethan said in a serious tone.
