Cassandra

I wake up to a loud thumping noise. As I gain consciousness I realize that the noise is inside my head. I try to open my eyes only to be assaulted by the white blinding light which seems to be everywhere.

I groan as I try to sit up, my legs feeling numb. As my eyes adjust to the bright light, I notice that I am in a big room. My mind is fussy, head is throbbing. Everything is white here, the walls, the door, all plain and depressing.

I look towards my right and gasp. There is young man laying in a bed same as mine, just a few meters from me. I notice his dark hazel hair, his pale complexion just like mine.

"Ethan", I whisper. Panic seizes me as the events of the past twenty four hours flash through my mind and it doesn't help a bit that I and my brother were laying here for god knows how long while there was a war going on outside.

I scramble out of my bed and stumble back to find a drip attached to my right wrist. I rip the drip from my wrist and run toward my brother.

"Ethan, wake up", I try to shout but it comes out no more louder than a whisper.

"Where are we", Ethan croaks shielding his eyes from the light when I wake him up.

"I don't know and I don't care", I say as I help him out of his bed.

I can see that we both are weak and we already have scars on our face and hands and I don't even know where we are but there is no time to waste.

"We have to get out of here Ethan, there's battle to fight".
