Samantha suddenly became aware the buzzing had stopped. She felt her hands leave the orbs and watched as the light left them and drained into an aura which surrounded her. The structure of the orbs seemed to evaporate as whatever they were made off just seemed to melt away into nothingness, leaving the now Amazonian Samantha in darkness.
‘Well, I better show Mark and Jenny the new me.’ Samantha thought as she slowly kicked one of her legs to go up.
And then felt herself be catapulted out of the water and half a mile up into the air.
With one movement Samantha had managed to create so much momentum that she had launched her whole body out of the water like a bullet, and was now heading skyward above the forest. She watched in amazement as the wood seemed to stretch all the way back to the campus three miles away.
She laughed.
“I can fly!”
Only to then become aware of that same sinking feeling you get whenever you’re falling.
“Oh no. No. NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Samantha now fell like a brick, quickly reaching terminal velocity and heading down, down, down.
And then with an almighty explosion hit the floor in a blast of dirt and several shattered trees.
Samantha though was quite aware she had hit the ground. She even had felt herself when she had somehow been buried beneath the dirt, as her momentum had carried her through the first layer of the ground: and it had felt like… nothing. She recalled times when she had been on the playground when she had been much younger and fallen from a bench and scratched her knee. Now that had hurt.
Now all she could see was darkness, and was very aware she had not died, as she could feel her hand poking out into the open air above her. Yet what she had just gone through had felt like… a love tap. No worse than a gentle tap on the wrist.
She tried to say “Woah,” only for dirt to full her mouth. She spat it out and sat up. And again as she did so she became aware of a pile of dirt and rock which she had been buried under just seemed to disintegrate and crumble away. Even a whole tree, which had collapsed on her she just pushed idly aside before noticing what she had been doing.
Still holding onto it, she lifted up the trunk with one arm, looked it up and down, and then let it drop.
“Holy…”
Samantha had to wonder how strong was she.
She then looked around at the shallow crater she had made, with her now standing at the epicentre like a freshly sprouted plant. With one act Samantha had just remoulded what had to be garden-sized area of the local woodland.
She then had to wonder how tough was she.
It was then she heard shouting. Not superhuman shouting or anything, like she knew it was several miles away. Actual shouting and cries of terror coming from her friends. She was about to get up and help them when she saw them run to the lip of the crater and see her just stand up as though it was nothing.
They stared in awe as a green-haired, Wonder Woman-like figure had just risen out of the earth and was looking at them with as much concern as they had for her.
All at once they asked each other. “Are you alight?”
Then realised by each other’s concern, and that they all were.
And Samantha again looked about the crater, and smiled.
