Nina

"Oh, she's waking up."

"Thank god. She had us scared for a moment there..."

As I slowly regained consciousness, the world around me became a blur of shapes and colors and sound. Everything felt loud and bright and overwhelming. My head throbbed, and my body felt heavy, as if I had just been in a deep sleep for hours. I blinked several times, trying to make sense of my surroundings.

The first thing I noticed was the worried faces hovering over me. My mother, father, and Enzo all stood there, their expressions a mixture of relief and concern.

They looked like they hadn't slept a wink, which was confusing. Did something happen? Nothing made sense, at least not at first.

I tried to sit up, but my body felt strangely sluggish, as if I were trying to move through molasses. Panic briefly gripped me as I struggled to remember how I had ended up here.

"What happened?" I croaked, my voice sounding weak and far away. "How did I get here?"

Enzo and my parents exchanged nervous glances before my mother patted my hand gently. "Just relax," she murmured gently, offering me a small smile.

But I just furrowed my brow as I racked my brain, then looked over at Enzo, whose face was a mask of frustration. Enzo let out a frustrated sigh, his brows furrowing. "You passed out, Nina. From opening the portal."

I frowned as the memory slowly came back to me. I remembered opening the portal, and then... everything went black. It was as if I had been sucked into a void of darkness.
