Chapter 73

I shot to the bedside table, grabbing my phone and turning it on. The bright light hit my eyes, hurting and making me squint. But the colors drained from my face when my eyes scanned over the text.
• 'Ela, help me.'
• Hades? As if my mind was on a reel, I scrambled out of the bed and ran out. But then I stopped, something else registering.
