(Just A Random Scene)

the "title" says it all

                Mia grabbed the last small box out of the truck and jumped lightly to the ground.

                “You’re going to hurt yourself doing that,” Danny commented.

                She laughed.  “So you say.  It hasn’t happened yet though.” 

                “The key word being ‘yet’.  Just put that box on the driveway.  Me and Geoff will move them into the house and then you and Natalia can put just put the stuff away.  Organize things.  You know, all that womanly stuff that you women do.”

                Mia raised an eyebrow.  “Oh yeah, way to transport us back about a hundred years.  We just do the housekeeping, right?”

                “Of course.”  He leaned forward to plant a quick kiss on her cheek.  “How are you feeling, anyway?” he asked softly. 

                “I’m fine, Danny.  I’ve been helping move all day and haven’t had one problem.  Please, don’t put me out of the game yet.”

                “It’s only because I’m concerned…”

                “Don’t be.  I promise you I’m fine.  Okay?”

                Danny frowned.  “I just don’t want to have to say I told you so.”

                She patted him on the shoulder.  “I love you and I really do appreciate that you care, but I’ll be fine.  Okay?  Between you and my brother I think I have enough protection.”

                Mia watched as he nodded, still somewhat unconvinced, and walked back to the pile of boxes and assorted small furniture where Geoff stood waiting.  Sometimes she wished everyone wasn’t always so concerned for her.   Ever since she’d gotten away from Marcus everything had been so hectic.  She hadn’t been the same since.  In some ways, that was a good thing.  In some ways, it wasn’t. She shook her head as her heart started to pound.  No, she wouldn’t let her thoughts get the better of her this time.  She had work to do. 

                Taking a deep breath, she repositioned the box in her arms and headed up the driveway.  She looked up as Natalia poked her head through the front door.

                “What’s in that one?”

                “This one’s for the bathroom.”

                “Who’s got the dining room?”

                “I’m grabbing it now,” Geoff called.

                “Well, do you think you could bring that up first?”

                He nodded.  “Yep, I’m coming.”

                Mia waited as Geoff carried the large box up the porch steps and up the first flight of stairs.  He looked over his shoulder as she followed behind. 

                “You got that or do you want to leave it by the door and I’ll grab it?” he asked.

                Mia fought to take in a deep breath.  “I’m fine.”

                “That’s not what I asked.  Mia?”

                She ignored him as she started up the stairs.  Suddenly, she paused.  “Why did you turn off the light?” she asked.  Her voice sounded strange as it warbled through the air. 

                “Mia?” 

                “Geoff, get her!” Natalia shrilled.

                She reached out for something to grab onto as her head disconnected itself from her body.  Her heart beat in time with the box as it slid from her arms, thumping loudly against each stair.  She took a deep breath as Geoff’s shadow spun around and reached for her just a moment too late.

                “Mia!”

Author's Note

Thoughts? As the title says, its just a random scene. I know you have no idea who all the characters are, what the relationships are, or what is going on with Mia. You're not really supposed to know yet being that there's no back story :) And don't ask me what happens next because I don't know! Like I said, it was completely 100% random!

Makes me want to read more. It will be interesting to see where she is coming from and where she is going.

Well written and easy to picture and follow. A well set up scene. An interesting concept. A pregnancy; perhaps' the cause of the black out? Guess we'll have to wait and see. I think you did a great job with this.
