-Elise's POV-

Nothing had changed. The night was still dark, but only for the next thirty seconds. I had thirty seconds. If that, I mean. It was an assumption from the hourglass. Thirty seconds to climb this wall before I would certainly be exposed by the light of day.

"Thirty seconds...."

I jammed my foot into a 'foothold', seriously hoping they would hold me. It did, but I didn't have time for a sigh of relief. I quickly grabbed onto another vine, and started to climb. I lost both my flip-flops, but I just needed to get over the wall. As soon as I was over, I would be able to rest on the way down.

The vines dug into my feet, and my hands were red, but I made it to the top with two seconds to spare. Without hesitating, I swung down and started the decent slowly. And somewhere in my mind, I thought...

Thank you, Indigo...

Was that wrong?
