Ah, so atleast it wasn't what she thought it was, she could see it in his. She rolled off of him, her hair coming out of his grip. Genesis pressed her back against the wall, her lip snagged between her teeth as she listened to the storm. What an interesting string of occurrences. And how out of character. She peaked at Cairo who was finally pulling himself off the floor. He looked ruffled, she had to hide a chuckle.
"Sorry." Genesis slowly stood up, her hand pressed firmly to the wall for balance just in case. She slid over to the window and peaked outside, the wind hitting her in the face. The canals were flooding, the bridges destroyed, and parts of the city sinking. It could not be good. "Cairo, look!"
Genesis recovered the window and ran to the door, flinging it open. Cairo, having followed, noticed with her that the water level had risen into the second floor. The dark murky water was slowly climbing the stairs towards them. How far would it rise? Either way they were trapped in the building. Genesis, strange as this may sound, had never learned to swim. They would either need to get to higher ground or pray that the storm was over soon. For as drastic as the damage was becoming, the storm had only raged a short while. Not even a full bell.
