My balance was tested by the cold hard rain pouring down on me. I glanced down at the ground below me. My head started spinning as I suddenly realized just how high off the ground I was. I slipped unsteadily on the cold hard stones, lathered in the rain pouring down from above. I grab on abruptly to the stones on my right, catching my balance, my heart pounding through my chest.

My ankle slams back down against the ledge,and Spider picks me up pulls me off the edge. “NO!” Spider screams out. “I've lost everyone, I’m not going to lose you!” I gasp, the feeling of the ledge under my feet surprising me. The feeling of the rain on my skin is all of the sudden and intense. The water cascades down my face along-side the tears. Spider takes a breath. “YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS!” He screams. I shake my head. He doesn't understand and he never will. “Jem if you go, I’m going with you,” Spider says, as he finally takes his hands off me. “No, you're not.” I say shaking my head. “Yes, I am.” Spider states confidently, as he reaches out to grab my hand. “NO YOU’RE NOT! ” I scream, all my rage suddenly bubbling to the surface.

My sweat soaked shirt was clinging to my throbbing sunburn, and the salty droplets scalded my tender skin. “I need this water,” I reminded myself when my head started to fill with terrifying thoughts of me passing out on this ledge. I had never been so relieved to see this glistening, blissful water. As inviting as the water looked, the heat wasn't the only thing making my head spin anymore. Not only was the drop a horrifying thought, but I could see the rocks through the surface of the water and couldn't push aside the repeating notion of my body bouncing off them when I hit the bottom. I needed to make the decision to jump, and fast. Standing at the top of the cliff, it was as if I could reach out and poke the searing sun. Sweat dripped from my forehead, down my nose, and on its way to my dry, cracked lips which I licked to find a salty droplet. My shirt, soaked with perspiration, was now on the ground as I debated my

“ No, I would never hurt you,” I assured her as I grabbed her small, precious arm and pulled her away from the dangerous tree roots. Monique with 100% trust in me exclaimed, ” go on flip me.” She was so tranquil, which made me more nervous. I was panicking, my though dried up and I was starting to reconsider flipping her. I had a million thoughts, what if I hurt her, why does she trust me so much? ”Victoria, Victoria!”, Monique screamed. “ Yeah sorry!” I reply with hesitation. I pulled a confident face and started counting down, “ 3, 2, 1”. I grabbed her shaking arm and flipped her over my head into the air. Time stopped at that moment, Monique’s face turned from calmed and collected to scared and surprised in an instance. “Bang” she fell on the muddle, and rough ground. “ARGHHHH”, screamed Monique, from the excruciating pain. “It hurts”, she yelled while laying still on the grey grass

However, with the help of our fast-thinking and skillful guide, we were able to make it down the fall safely. All the action was over, so we let out a sigh of relief and allowed our nerves to relax.
"You look kind of scared" Daniel replied. I ignored him. I felt a tension that hung in the atmosphere. There was a fizzing, crackling feel in the air around us as we pulled on the hemp ropes and our jackets rustled in the electric atmosphere. I looked deep into Daniel's eyes.
As I bent down to tie my shoelace, a slippery raindrop slithered down my lightly freckled cheek. Before I had the chance to look up at the silver sky, the clouds exploded like champagne flowing over the edge of a bottle.
