Equilibrium
Chapter 3
AN: Ah, I know its short, but this is all I could compose in such little time. I do so solemnly swear to update in the next two days and it will be much longer, but for the time being, please quench your thirst on this little piece! Read and review please!

She was suspended in oblivion, all around her was a dark glow and what looked to be like frozen water droplets; but it felt like flying. She was soaring, so light, so weightless. This was how it should be. Her birthright.
Blackfire's chest suddenly convulsed in a spasm of hatred and pain, her breath caught in her throat, her pulse quickening with the flush of anger. Her hands balled into fists and her eyes shut tightly as she forced herself to calm, and pacified the rash emotion with the blissful thought of near flight. The sensation passed and her eyes opened; she was flying, it was as close to flying that she had ever known.
Her family did not appreciate this, this sheer liberty. This freedom was overlooked by all of her kin, all of her blessed kin, for they had known no other life. But she knew better. She knew otherwise. There was nothing to hold her back, the pull of the planet was a distant dream and no longer an enemy. There were no chains to lay hold of her in this place.
Blackfire shut her eyes to the void; she did not care if she were to hover here forever. She was free! A burst of air rippled through her hair and blew gently across her skin. She shivered in the odd draft. And quite unexpectedly, she could feel something snatch and tug her roughly just below her ribcage. She inhaled sharply at the intrusion and it took a moment for her to realize she was being pulled forward toward a light at a point in the nothingness. She clawed frantically at the empty air, striving to gain purchase and halt the force from taking her from this place, but all of her efforts were in vain as she descended inevitably downward.
Blackfire shattered the surface of the pool in an explosion of water and air as she was thrown unceremoniously onto the firm, unforgiving earth, landing hard on her side. She rolled to her hands and knees and coughed, covering her mouth which was dusted with dirt. She quickly swiped her lips with the back of her hand, tasting an unsettling metallic liquid on her tongue and with a groan she stood shakily to her feet. One of her joints cracked in its place and the muscles in her side screamed in protest at the movement. Ignoring the smarting pain in her hip, she dusted off her soiled clothing; Blackfire raised her eyes to survey her surroundings and was met with a shock. She was home.
