I landed on my shoulder and hit my head on the floor. For a second, I thought I was going to black out. I pulled myself to a sitting position and shook my head, wincing as pain shot through me.Everything in the room was eerily silent for about half a second, then, chaos erupted. People started screaming and rushing for the exits. It was like watching a stampede, everyone was pushing and shoving and trampling over anyone who got in their way.Kicking off my heels, I stood up slowly. I began searching the crowd for Nelly, but it was impossible to make out anyone in this frenzied mess. A million things ran through my mind in that moment. First, things first though, I had to find my sister and get her to safety.Stumbling down the steps to the main floor, I caught sight of Nelly and rushed toward her. Before I could reach her, someone tackled me to the ground. Something whooshed past my head, ruffling my hair like a breath’s worth of wind, just before I fell to my back. I looked up and saw that it was Kayden who had taken me down.
