#Chapter10
There is no other guard checking out until eleven and by then I am usually long gone.
/"Okay/" I sigh out, still terrified
I quickly reach my left arm over so that I can grab onto the metal pipe that is attached to the castle.
After doing this I carefully scooch down the ledge a bit more until I reach the edge of it.
You only have one chance to do this, Elaine.
I take in a deep breath of air before releasing the pipe from my hand and reaching out for the branch.
As I do this my body leans forward, this allows gravity to do its job.
I release a terrified squeak as my hand grabs the branch it a tight grasp.
As I grab the branch my converse clad feet slip off of the ledge so that they are now handing freely in the air.
Oh my god!
I bring my free hand up to also grab ahold of the branch.
Wow!
I still cannot believe I am not dead yet.
