A/N: I am not as good a writer as I'd like to be yet, so I wouldn't mind
hints from people. Thanks. Oh, and don't worry about "the man." I introduce
him later.
Disclaimer: I don't own these books, Orson Scott Card does. The only thing
I own is my character, Sio Tenio.
The disorienting feeling of vertigo almost overcame Sio as he boarded the ship in anticipation. The man behind him told him not to worry and just relax. Sio spotted an empty seat and jumped, yes, jumped, into it, hitting it hard.
"Ouch!" Sio exclaimed, rubbing his rear as he sat down properly. The man who was behind him, merely laughed. Sio, for the moment anyway, cared more about living through the launch than the man.
"Okay, buckle up you idiots, before you float out of the seats." The same man said. Sio did what he was told, but he instantly regretted it. The buckle pressed him hard against the seat, not allowing him to move or even adjust the way he was sitting. Okay, Sio thought to himself, trying to adjust but failing, this officially sucks! He felt a slight vibrating under his feet and prepared himself for take off. As the ship shook more and more violently, Sio was glad that he wasn't in the aisle seat. He closed his eyes and waited.
Something shook Sio awake. He groggily looked to his left and saw a kid.
"Hey, wake up! The launch part is over!" The kid told him.
Sio sighed. So I slept through the worst part. Absolutely amazing. All of the sudden, his highly sensitive ears picked up a slight clicking sound, and he turned around. The guy behind him leaned forward and hit the guy next to him. Obviously, he knew who hit him, and, when the person hit him (or tried to), he grabbed the guy's wrist and threw him across the cabin, breaking his arm. Sio scooted away from the guy. The rest of the voyage was quiet.
