Arden
Come on, come on, come on....
You can do it, you can do it...
Try harder....just a little harder.
I practically bellowed out, my hardest and loudest scream since birth as I lifted myself of the precipice. Raising myself, my arms quivered- and any moment now, they could literally break in half. With a grimace on my face, I settled and propped my elbows on the flat surface, far away enough from the edge, half my torso was flat. I then dragged myself on my stomach- screaming- which hurt like a bitch.
I dragged myself, my body rubbing against the now warm ground. The light from the fires around me flickered on my face and I heaved once I was completely on the ground- my converse covered toes were literally the only things hanging off the cliff. I forced myself to roll over, my eyes popped and my teeth clenched as I turn on my back. I groaned as I touched the wound on my stomach. Why wasn't this son of a bitch healing?
I remembered the two people behind me and I willed myself to move. Trying my best to ignore the excruciating pain, I sat up and pulled myself up on my feet. I turned around and began making my way to Harper, who was still in her kneeling and crying position.
I knew I was on a time limit so I tried my best to hurry. I wasn't moving as fast as I wanted but...hey.
Holding my stomach, I speed-walked to her. I bent down to her level and tried to make eye contact with her. "Harper, Harper- What Happened? What did she do?"
She wouldn't answer. She only shook her head and kept sobbing.
"Harper, please," I begged her. I rested a hand on her shoulder. Her hair ran down her face in strands and she shook her head. "I can't."
"You can't-"
"I can't. I can't. She-she took- she- took- she took everything. I c-can't- I can- Can't- I can't-"
