DID YOU R*** HER, YOU BASTARD?!

A few minutes earlier...

"Those who are wounded, please enter the dome!" Finnian shouted as the soldiers fought relentlessly against the horde of monsters.

The heavily injured were carried in by Kai and other students, their bodies battered and bloodied from the brutal battle outside.

Inside the barrier, Helena knelt beside the injured, her hands glowing as she used her healing ability.

Her gaze swept everywhere.. she watched as wounds slowly knit themselves together, but her heart was pounding for a different reason. Her eyes searched, scanning the injured, scanning the area.... but Aether wasn't there.

He wasn't anywhere near. Her heart raced faster, her palms grew clammy, and a cold wave of fear began to creep up her spine.

Where was he?

"Helena, are you sure you'll be alright?" Finnian asked, his voice laced with concern as he watched her push herself, "You're overexerting yourself... using too much energy. It's dangerous."
