ACT I SCENE II
EPIGONI
AN INHUMAN scream pierced through the air and Cassandra shot out of the bed in a blind fright. She couldn't see. Only darkness surrounded her, suffocating her. Ragged gasps escaped her throat as panic coursed through her bloodstream, nervous system switching into fight or flight mode in an instant. She felt a hand grab hold of her wrist tightly, causing her to scream and struggle.
"Hey, easy! Easy!"
She barely recognised the voice calling out to her and stopped. Newt looked at her with his familiar brown eyes and she felt her muscles start to relax again. She lowered her arms and Newt slowly let go of her wrists, as if afraid she would lash out again. Her breathing evened out and her eyes started to adjust to the dimness. The room they were in had no windows and it made her feel claustrophobic.
