You Can't Control Me Alpha [ON HOLD]

Chapter 15: The Swing

I look around me suddenly remembering all that happened, I look up to see that trusty little swing swinging above me, I smile.

I turn in a circle trying to find the shorter tree and finally see the little guy, although he isn't so tiny anymore, they certainly have grown with me.

I get scared at the idea that pops in my mind, try it out it says, I hesitate at the idea but I need to experience it again, even just once.

I take a deep breathe remembering what little me did. I start climbing the tree in the same path I did, I don't want to look down.

I always look up to see how far away I am from the branch, oh great. I only climbed 6 feet. 24 more to climb I guess.

By the time, I reach the branch I was already out of breath, gosh why is it so high? That's when my mind is filled with thoughts.

You finished the easy part, now you need to walk on the branch, balancing. Then you gently fall on the swing. Get it right or you could die.

Thanks mind.

Okay this is part of the hard part, remember Angel you also need to get off the swing.

I take a deep breathe and take a step, checking if the branch is still strong enough to hold my weight. I don't look back and the wind is softly pushing the hair out of my face. I finally reach the swing which is a few metres down. This is it.

I gently step off the branch, time went so slow, I feel myself slowly falling and when I got to a certain height, I quickly grab the branch dangling in the air, oh my gosh I actually grabbed it!. I reach for the string of the swing and pull myself onto to the seat, I'm finally sitting on it.

I sigh in relief, and feel so proud of myself. I DID IT! I scream in my mind.

You haven't finished... Way to kill the mood, mind.

I quickly remember, it's not over. I look down. What did I get myself into?

"Oh crap" I mumble my voice shakey. Its now or never, I try convincing myself so that's when I gather all my courage, and gently swing back and forth picking up speed each minute.

LET GO!

I fly upwards, it literally feels like flying then I start to drop. Fast. Where the heck is the shorter tree's branch? I'm gonna die!

I panic and pray to the moon goddess asking if she will save me. I think she hears my prayer in that split second. I spot the branch and wasting no time, I grab it and swing into the hole of the tree. It makes me slide down fast like a water ride in an amusement park, it's pitch back and dusty but still intact. I reach the bottom landing in a bunch of leaves.

Did I just do that!?

I did! Didn't I?

I realise what I did and start laughing like I'm crazy, that could have killed me, it was like a suicidle attempt but that didn't stop me. I lay back in the leaves admiring my surroundings, the laughter dying down and instead filling me with the anticipation to do it again.

No hesitation this time I climbed the tree and sat on the swing then getting off. It's like on repeat for what seems like hours. I can actually do it!

After around 20 rounds I decide to settle down and just swing gently on the swing. I close my eyes and feel the wind hit my face, breathing in the fresh air, I'm flying in a way and feel free like a bird, I feel like I can escape all my problems. My parent's would have been proud of me, they love me and I love them, thinking about them makes me miss them even more. They may be my past but they will always be in my heart and mind.

I open my eyes again and looked at the beautiful sun setting. I'm above most of the trees and the sun is saying hello to the moon and goodbye to the world. The birds are flying to their homes and the small animals heading back into their holes. I just swing slowly.

This is what life is worth living for
