Chapter 20: Eliane

I felt lost. I couldn't breathe. My chest felt tight and I felt like I was gonna die. I started wheezing. Trying to control my breathing but to no avail. I wanted to get swallowed up by Earth. I wanted this nightmare to be over but I fear that it's just begun. Jack tried to calm me down but I couldn't stop shaking. It got worse to the point where I started seeing stars. I didn't know what to do. All I could think about was my mom.

Even though we may not have always gotten along, we've always loved each other. I couldn't imagine what she was going through. I was scared that they would go after her. I was scared that they would hurt me in front of my mom or hurt her in front of me. I couldn't stop panicking. The stars wouldn't go away but neither did Jack. He stood in front of me and held my body up as I started to feel dizzy. I felt like throwing up. My head was pounding. It felt like I was on fire.
