The Fire Sisters (Brilliant Darkness 3)
““Kai?” I shout. “Are you okay?”
“No!”
Peree yells at me to wait, but it doesn’t sound like there’s time. Moving as fast as I can, while testing each step, I cross the bridge.
“Where are you?” I call.
I only hear the sounds of the storm. My pulse, already racing, puts on speed. Did she fall? Would I hear a splash?
“I’m… here.” Her voice comes from around my knees.
I move closer.
“Stop there!” she gasps. “A few slats broke… there’s a gap.”
I grip the rope handholds and feel for the hole between b...oards with my foot. “Are you on the other side of it?”
She makes a strangled noise. “In it. Hanging from the handhold. To… your left.”
Oh no.
I grope along that rope until I find her hands, cold and hard, clenching the rope. My feet are basically behind me now. I move my arm down to her back, trying not to think about the empty air we must both be hanging out over, or the hungry river below. she’s too far away; I can’t reach all the way around her.MoreLess
