Heart
“I had never felt it so strong before, so vicious.
It felt like the hand of a god playing with my frail body as it tried to knock me from the cliffs. And maybe it was.
Ryder hung on just a few feet below me. He let me take the lead and I had the suspicious feeling it was because he thought, at some point, I would fall and he would have to catch me. I appreciated his care, but I didn’t know how much good it would do if I really slipped.
The ground was a terrifying distance beneath us. We had been... climbing for what felt like hours. My muscles shook and trembled; my stomach ached with nausea and muscle pain. My fingers were numb from their effort to hold on. I had scrapes and bruises all over my skin from the unforgiving rock. If we made it to the top, I had decided that I would need to move in with the Fates. I sure as hell wasn’t going to try to climb down after all of this.
“We’re almost there,” Ryder grunted. “Let’s go, Red.”
I looked up. The distance seemed impossible.MoreLess
