I
stretched up reaching for the nearest branch and braced my foot against the
tree trunk. With a heave I pulled myself
up and started to climb. I concentrated
on my footing and handholds ignoring how high up I was getting. After several minutes I was to the top. With a proud smile on my face I looked down.
“Woohoo!” Cinder yelled waving her arms.
Shane
and Jonas both were smiling and clapping as well. I felt great.
My heart was beating strong but not from fear. I did it.
I made it to the top. Silly
curse. What did they know about it
anyway. I looked around at the beautiful
view.
“Hey
Melina! Come on down now!” Cinder waved to me.
“Ok. Ok. I’m
coming.” I said full of confidence.
I
grabbed the tree trunk and stretched my foot down to the nearest branch. Once it was firmly in place I stretched my
other foot down and moved my hand as well.
Reaching I grasped the next branch and again stretched my foot
down. As I settled my foot I stretched my hand and a
sudden crack preceded the feeling of floating.
I didn’t even have a chance to grab at anything. It all happened so fast.
