I M Already Standing On The Ground Novels & Stories

Close to the shore or the water—hopefully not there—or in the forest far off the beach. In a second, all of it and the solid ground beneath us makes me feel grounded. As though my body weight is just returning. I land on my back, making sure Feyre is on me as I take the burn of the fall. She breathes out loudly. “I’m alive.” She says, sounding excited. I roll my eyes but nod as I unstrap us. “You’re welcome.” I mumble, smiling a little when immediately she feels free, she pushes against my chest and tries to stand up.

“See if you can stand.” I swallowed hard and shoved the thin hospital blanket aside. Slowly, agonizingly slowly, I swung both legs over the edge of the mattress. My bare feet hovered above the floor for a heartbeat, and I silently begged the Moon Goddess not to let my body betray me again. Not now. Not when everything hung on this one stupid, fragile moment. My soles met cold tile. The shock of it jolted up my spine like stepping into ice water. I pushed down. I was standing.

Gigi In the middle of the empty street, as i continue to run and those men chase me, I find myself completely vulnerable at this moment. I want to get rid of them, escape them and every passing second they are approaching closer and closer. My breaths are high, there is no energy left in my body and running barefoot I also get pricked by something on the road. With a hiss, i suddenly fall onto the ground, panting hard.

I ended up stumbling back slightly every so often from his pure strength even as I tried to stand my ground. "You need to ground yourself," He had told me, shoving my legs with his feet to correct my stance, "Your centre of gravity needs to stay still and firm, I can’t knock you over if you don’t let me." "Yeah, but I’m sure you’d find it hilarious." "Maybe just a little bit." "Asshole."

My mind immediately recalls the delicious 'dirt' in Godis and my stomach growls loudly in reminisce. Down boy. Where was I? Dirt;right. I open my eyes and spin in a slow cirle.There are no stones that I can see but the mere fact that I'm standing on solid ground with flowers sprouting means that there's a layer of bedrock below my feet. At least I hope it's rock and that I'm not being held up by Opa magic, fairy dust and candy.

I push myself to my feet. It takes a lot of effort and my legs shake badly as I stand. I try to hide the pain but the moment I take a step I limp badly. One of them notices immediately. “You should not be standing yet,” he says calmly. I glare at him weakly. “Yeah… well… I’d rather stand than lie on the ground helpless again,” I reply quietly. The two men exchange glances. Then one of them sighs softly. “You are lucky he did not kill you,” the taller one says.

I stared at her waiting for what she would say next. I jumped and tried to lift my feet off the floor. For some reason, I don't even know why I had to do this. I jumped as high as I could and didn't know how long I was doing this. I tried hard but nothing happened. I'm still on the ground.

I placed my feet on the floor. Then I stood. No searing pain. No collapse. No humiliation. I stood. A breath I did not realize I was holding left my chest in a shaky exhale. My hands clenched at my sides as I took my first step forward. Then another. I was walking. A low, disbelieving laugh escaped me as I crossed the room. Every movement felt like a victory carved out of stubborn will and patience. I reached the window and placed my palm against the cool glass, grounding myself in the reality of it.

I asked moving it to the center of my stomach. “If I fall, you will be able to see me coming.” Callie laughed back, lowering herself down next. I carefully lowered myself, one foot at a time. Callie was moving a bit faster and almost caught up to me. I moved a little faster, and then my backside found contact with something solid. “I think we reached the ground.” I moved my foot down quickly expecting the ground. It wasn’t there, I lost my grip and quickly swung forward.

Stoic was confused as he keeps on asking me what’s wrong when I pointed where we are standing at. “L-look…” All of them took a step back to see clearly what I am talking about. Everyone gasped in shock. I could feel some chills running down in my spine as I swallowed the lump in my throat. We’re standing on a giant foot print.
