Odessa's POV
*****
I fluttered my eyes open, looking around me.
My ears rang with the aftermath of an explosion, and dust and smoke filled the air, running into my lungs and forcing me to cough erratically as my chest burned and my eyes stung with tears.
Screams, explosions, howls and cries echoed outside into the dimly lit room. A room that looked eerily familiar.
"This place..." I whispered with a voice I could barely even hear at the same moment that the room door burst open.
I jolted, frozen with an unnerving fear.
Two figures scurried into the living room frantically but I couldn't see their faces due to the dimly lit room and the contrast from the blazing flames outside.
That's until one of them spoke with a deep voice.
"Odessa. Thank goodness, she's okay!"
I furrowed my eyebrows as a pair of strong arms stretched forward and lifted me off the ground.
Wait... Lifted me off the ground?!
