Gravity

-----4-----

SAM held onto the guard rails tightly, when the second shift had happened and Eva had fallen.. god knows where, she flew sideways. Thanks to her fast reaction she grabbed the railings and held on for her dear life. After what seemed like forever, Samantha Collins managed to muster the strength to pull herself up onto the, not so safe, glass borders.

Sam gladly would have switched places with Eva, to be the courageous, smart, hot brunette with the awesome boyfriend. Where was Sam's boyfriend?Splattered across a wall! Orion wasn't the most charming or sweet guy but he was better than nothing. Whilst these went through her head, Sam somehow had managed to get herself onto the roof.

She precariously jumped from any handhold she could get to the nearby skyscraper. 'Eva! Where are you?' Sam screamed trying to get Eva's or anyone's attention. BANG! Sam's foot slipped from the metal air vent, her whole body weight fell onto the creaking vent and the vent went crashing down. 'Aaagh!' Sam held onto the vent, as it hit and bounced against other vents and things on the roof.

LYDIA screamed at her mother causing the gravity of the world to shift again. Her mother toppled sideways, slamming straight into the refrigerator. 'Lydia! Stop!' Lydia's mother yelled, desperately trying to grab onto anything to steady herself.

A tree came crashing into a nearby hut. In the nearby mountains, rocks tumbled down, crushing people and huts. 'Lydia! Please stop! You're killing people!!'

Lydia's mind flashed back to when she was a child, an innocent young loving child. Lydia had developed the power to control the gravity of the earth when she was young. Her parents began to notice when objects in their house would abruptly fly to the ceiling. Lydia's mother, Kelè was support full of her powers and tried helping her control them.

One fateful day, Lydia had arrived back from school, tears cascading down her cheeks. Bullies in her school had always given her a hard time. Her abnormal white hair and pale features made her stand out in the crowd of her school: The Innocence Of Blessed Virgin Mary. Almost every student there was dark-skinned except her.

Lydia had gained her mother's features and almost none of her dad's. Most people told her she was a young version of her mother and that everyone expected her to continue her mother's business of running the local bakery. The problem was that Lydia hated baking.

Lydia snapped out of her black flash and the earth regained it's gravity. Kelè pushed herself of the ground and turned to face her daughter. 'Lydia. Please don't do this...' Kelè moved in for a hug but found herself being lifted if the ground. 'Mother...' Lydia warned, 'Don't. ' Kelè gave in and she fell back to the ground.
