Chapter 1, Part 2, The Star Girl

It wasn't unlike her to fall asleep; the long flight and the somber hum of machinery made her drowsy. The alarm had woken her from her sleep, 

"WARNING! WARNING!" It screamed 

Snapping back into existence, she saw that she was falling into a forest. She started punching random keys on the dashboard of her ship. 

"Come on...come on!" she muttered. Just before the comet-like ship hit the ground, she had managed to find the right button. It now stood at a standstill, hovering above the ground. Relief hit her like a train, thankful the ejector seat hadn't gone off from the quick stop. Turns out it was delayed, and just before she stood up to exit her ship, it ejected her into the air.

Lonely stared at the comet that hovered feet in front of him. The trees pushed away from him, now making a more open area. He wanted to move towards it, but the heat radiating from it made it impossible to get close. Then part of the top opened and spat out something. The thing flew into the air, screaming, and smacked into a tree. He ran to see what it was and was surprised to see a dark skinned girl with scars, bent over a branch on the tree, muttering something about Earth's gravity.

"ARE YOU OKAY?" Lonely yelled from the ground. 

"JUST PEACHY THANKS!" She called, sarcastically. She had managed to get herself in a good enough position to jump from the tree, but the girl would end up breaking her legs if she fell from that height.

"WAIT!" He tried to warn her, but she jumped. She didn't fall, though; she just floated to the ground gently. 

"Sorry about my...uhm startling entrance, my name is Eos, and your wish just pulled me off course."
