All Shook Up, Ch. 3
“I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.”
Lara had stopped breathing. Kit frantically felt for a pulse, finding none. Leaning forward, she placed a small kiss on redhead’s forehead. Then, she leaned back, still holding the limp hand tightly in her own and continuing to stroke the silky hair out of Lara’s ashen face. Tears streamed from Kit’s eyes, falling onto Lara’s peaceful face as she continued in a low, shaky voice:
“Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.“
“I’m so sorry I got you into this,” Shane said, trying to disregard the excruciating ache in her arms
“You didn’t get me into this. I wanted to come,” Carmen argued, looking up at her.
“But if I hadn’t asked you to come, this wouldn’t have happened,” Shane replied, biting her lip.
“Those sort of thoughts won’t change the situation we’re in. Besides, you don’t know that something else might have happened to me elsewhere,” Carmen told her philosophically.
Shane stared down at her silently for a moment. Carmen, sensing that she was being watched, locked eyes with Shane. The passion, intensity, and fear Carmen saw in those beautiful depths took her breath away.
“I..I love you, Carmen,” Shane said softly.
Carmen’s breath caught in her throat. “I love you, too, Shane.”
The ground suddenly jolted again as a small aftershock caused the earth to tremble again. Shane felt herself losing her grip on the pole as the floor moved, sending her sliding closer to the edge. A crack appeared nearby, and the building let out a groan as it shifted slightly in the opposite direction, the movement causing Shane to lose her hold on the pole.
Cursing, she slid halfway over the edge, her upper body handing in mid-air as her legs wrapped themselves around the pole. Carmen shut her eyes tightly and shrieked as she saw Shane halfway over the edge of the second-story floor. When she didn’t feel the impact of the ground, she hesitantly opened one eye, noticing that they were still somehow hanging.
Unbeknownst to Carmen, Shane had managed to wrap her long legs around the pole and was miraculously keeping them from falling. “I’ve got you!” Shane yelled down to Carmen, swinging her other arm around and using it to help relieve some of Carmen’s weight from her injured arm.
There was suddenly a loud crack from above as part of the floor gave way, snapping the post in the process, leaving Shane with nothing to hold onto. Her legs flailed in the air as she suddenly slid over the edge.
Both screaming, clasping each other’s hands tightly, Shane and Carmen began their terrifying plummet through the air down toward the dangerous wreckage below.

Here I thought hurricanes were bad. At least with a Hurricane you know that it is coming your way and you can get out of the way. There is no telling when an earthquake is coming. Love the story. Hopefully all will survive and piece their lives back together again. Keep writing.
