Nina

Enzo and I returned home after visiting his father's house. As we drove home, the cold night wind blew in my face on the back of Enzo's motorcycle and the yellow crescent moon shone above us.

Seeing Enzo's father's house ransacked like that filled me with an odd combination of sadness and hope. It broke my heart that Richard's Beta disrespected him like that, but at the same time it made me only want to try harder to bring all of this to an end.

A little while later, we were pulling into the parking lot of the campus. Enzo parked the motorcycle and helped me off, and we were walking back to his dorm hand-in-hand when we suddenly heard the sound of shouting.

*Enzo! Nina!" Luke's voice rang out across the quad, followed by the sound of feet slamming on pavement as he ran toward us. Enzo and I both whipped around to see Luke running at us, his eyes wide and full of fear.

"What is it?" I asked, immediately feeling my heart rise up into my throat just from seeing the look on his face. "It's Lori and Jessica," he said quickly. "They're gone. Some Crescents came... They took them through a portal!" I felt my entire body freeze. It felt as though my heart stopped and time froze during that moment, and every muscle in my body tensed as fight or flight kicked in. The world spun around me, and for a moment I thought for sure that I would vomit.

*...took them," Luke finished. I had been completely absorbed in my own head for the majority of his sentence, and only caught the tail end. Beside me, Enzo was frantic.

"Where were they last seen?" he asked, his hand gripping mine tightly.

*The infirmary," Luke replied. "I was going to see them, and when I got there, I saw two Crescents manhandling them. One of them opened a portal, and then they all disappeared before I could get there. I tried to go after them, but it was too late by the time I opened my own portal. I don't know where they went."
