I wake up to Jordan making food using the fire. "Hey morning! How's Tris?" I ask. "She's fine. Just shaken up a bit." He says. That makes me worry "You ready to start heading up more? Isn't it supposed to be pretty cold today?" I ask "I believe.. Wake up Tris so we can go." Jordan says "Ok." I walk over to Tris she lays on her side looking at the trees. "Hey?" I say "Im up lets go!" she says "Ok?" that was quick...
We put out the fire pack up head up more. We dont even get the far and there's some many rocks we have to climb. My hand slips off a rock i slide down but I keep climbing. "Come on Jack!" Tris yells to me. "Almost there!" I get to the top.
The sky turns cloudy and Grey and its like 9:45am! "It looks like it may storm..." Tris mummers. "Well there's a rock over there we can hide under until it stops!" Jordan says "Ok lets go!" Jordan runs towards the rock but falls "Jordan!" We run to grab his hand, we grab his hand and pull him up.. I pull with all my strength. We pull him up he's so scared. "That a huge jump... How do we get over there?" I ask "I D-dont k-know..." Jordan stammers.
"Ill jump across then you guys should jump ill grab yo if you fall!" I volunteer "No ill do it!" Tris says "Ok..." She jumps across just missing "Ok guys come on!" She yells "Ill go.." Jordan says he jumps grabs Trises hand she pulls him up "Ok Jack come on!" I jump my heart flying when I jump I just make it... Then the thunder and lightning starts "Quick to the rock!" we get to the rock as a blizzard starts the sky flashing then the lighting hits a tree but the tree doesn't set on fire. But then the worst happens... I drop my matched... They slide out from under the rock. I run out and grab the matches before they go off the edge. I run to the rock as the lighting aims for the matches I run rate as the lightning hits im under the rock... My heart beats rapidly could have ended worst...
