Ethan stirred, a hazy sensation flooding his mouth. The roar of rushing water filled his ears. Slowly, he opened his eyes. A blinding light forced him to shield his face with one hand.
"You're awake!" It was Nora Vance's voice.
Ethan quickly sat up, blinking against the brightness. He realized it was the Predator Beast X's headlights blazing across the cavern. Nora stood nearby, holding a bottle of mineral water. Beside her were Uncle Jed and Dot, still unconscious.
He hadn't expected Nora to be the first to wake up. She'd even managed to pull them all out of the vehicle and get the headlights working. The water, of course, had come from the vehicle's supplies.
"How long have you been awake?" Ethan rubbed his throbbing head.
Nora wiped sweat from her forehead, offering a tired smile. "Just got you all out."
