Greenhouse Academy: Sophie's Fall

The Fall of the Captain

For an agonizing moment, silence remained as everybody tried to acknowledge what occurred. A collective gasp echoed through the air as Sophie's figure disappeared into the shadows below, leaving behind an echo of her presence. Her body disappeared into the foliage below, a chilling reminder of nature's unpredictability. 

Then, as if attuned to a higher calling, her friends rallied together. They descended the cliff, their unity a testament to the strength of their bonds, their hearts pounding with dread, and found Sophie ensnared within a thicket of thorns, her body battered and broken. —an emblem of nature's raw force and fragility.

With every ounce of strength, they carried her back to The Greenhouse, the weight of the moment etched on their faces. The scene unfolded in a blur of emotions—faces contorted in worry, anxious whispers, and hurried footsteps.

Louis, the headmaster of Greenhouse Academy, witnessed the commotion of his students carrying something, some of them with tears, and hastened to the scene to see what happened. As everybody was slowly making their way up, Louis saw Sophie's broken form and unable to recognize her for her face was covered with blood, asked "What happened and who is she? Is everything alright?" His daughter, Brooke, looked up to see her dad. She let go of Alex and clung to Louis, crying, only saying "Oh dad...Sophie."

He was taken aback, "That's Sophie?! Is she alright?!?! What happened?"

Brooke told everything about the news of her best friend's fall. In that moment, their embrace spoke of shared grief and the solidarity that united them.

Louis addressed the students, "Guys, bring Sophie back to the greenhouse carefully. I'll go ahead and make the arrangements. Don't worry, everything is going to be all right." though he himself was shaken and didn't see a possible route. He hurried off.
