The Age of Two
Chapter 1: I fall from a building
I gaze calmly up at the giant ship lowering onto New York and then look down at the street below. Humans are taking refuge in shops and office buildings. I hear a large crack and look up. The Empire State building has broken in half and is falling toward the street below.
Humans stare, shell-shocked, at the building. I lift my hands and grit my teeth. The building's decent is greatly slowed, though I can't keep it from landing. The people below run, away from the beasts and the Empire State.
I make sure no one is on the ground below then set the the building on the ground. I was careful but can feel tremors shaking up the foundation. I clung onto the railing. The balcony gave way and I screamed. The balcony falls fast. I wait till the last second and jump inches from hitting the side of the building.
I hit the side of the Empire State with a crunch and a snap. Great, my ankle's broken. I gritted my teeth and stood up, ignoring the pain. I limped to the side of the building and look down. I winced. It's a long drop to the sidewalk.
Walking back, I break a window and crawl through the jagged edges. My red curls catch and I gasp, pushing up and pulling my hair off the edges. I see all the furniture has fallen against the opposite wall, there are no handholds. I grimace. "This is gonna hurt."
I jumped.
I land and then fall. The broken ankle throbbed. I spy a pair of crutches laying against the door and grab them. I would be unable to use them until I got back to the ground.
A desk is trapping the door shut. I use my mind to smash it apart. Splinters flew and I ducked. The door leans shut. I pull it up like a trapdoor and look down. It's a small room. There are cabinets nailed to the wall. I step on them to get down.
This time, there's nothing on the door. It hangs down. I grasp my way awkwardly down and take a deep breath. This will take far too long. I square my shoulders and grasp the crutches. Then I jump.
There's a long corridor. I fall down it and yell, reaching down with my mind and smashing the plaster, wall, metal, and electric wiring seconds before I would hit it. I stop when the building material turns to concrete and land on the earth below the torn-up sidewalk. It makes for a rough landing pad. I gasp involuntarily with the pain.
I stand and walk down to the corner. My energy is wasted and I duck into an office building to rest.
