Nathan stood in confusion, not quite sure what to think or what to do. All the teachers seemed to have disappeared and no one knew why. His puzzled stupor broke as the whole room began to shake violently. Nathan went to change his stance for better balance, but as he put his foot down he slipped backwards, falling onto his backside on the linoleum floor, with his back hitting a radiator against the wall. His butt felt numb, and he felt a pain in his neck. 

He stayed on the floor for a few seconds after the shaking stopped, placing his hand on the back of his neck and rolling his neck around in a circle. It hurt a little to do so but wasn’t agonising. Good, he wasn’t injured. He looked in front of him to see the cause of his slip: the shaking seemed to have knocked a bottle of water off of a desk and caused it to spill on the floor where he had put his foot down. 

He looked over to Selene and Alex through the mess of desks and chairs that littered the room. Everyone else except for about 4 or 5 other bewildered kids had left the room now, off searching for any signs of teachers, or looking for their brothers and sisters, or perhaps using the first chance they could to get out of school in case the teachers suddenly popped back into existence. He saw Alex pass Selene a bottle of Tylenol before leaving the room. He must have gone looking for his little sister, Emma. 

[color=ed1c24]“ Could you pass me a couple of those aspirin when you’re done?”[/color] He said, rubbing the back of his neck. He began to lift himself up, turning over onto his knees and fulling himself up on the side of the window ledge above the radiator. His lower back was bruised and sore, but as he lifted himself up to look out of the window he saw something that concerned him much more than the pain running down his back.

 This window was facing north, and north of the school was the main road on which the town was on, which lead Northwest towards the power plant. But directly north were large rocky hills with about half a mile of desert between them and the road. And in that space of desert was a lot of black smoke, through which he could see glimpses of white. When he looked closely he could see what looked like it might be a wing. 
Nathan’s jaw dropped. That earthquake wasn't an earthquake.
[color=ed1c24]“ Umm, guys.”[/color] He said, not turning his gaze from the window.
