Is this it? Is this really it? Red asked himself, taking a glance towards his back. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Freckles with her teary eyes shut. She was suppressing her urge to scream as she held tightly on Red.
Just like what happened to Freckles and Curl a moment ago, everything seemed to occur in slow-motion as Red was about to stab his metal shard towards the Wall to continue his climb. Gritting his teeth, Red told himself at the back of his mind that he shouldn't give up on the last stretch.
Then suddenly, Red felt a jerk on his body. It's as if all his wait was suddenly caught and the gravity stopped pulling him down. His eyes widened, surprised that something weird transpired in him while he was in the midst of falling.
Tug!
