Luckily, before I could plunge to my death Gavin acted quick and grabbed me by my arms.
He hauls me up with a deep groan of effort and wraps his arms around me, pressing me close to his body as we both breathe out heavily in gasps.
My scream gained the attention of Katrina and Candy who were already more than halfway through the bridge, and Katrina’s eyes widens in alarm. “Tatiana, are you okay?” She cups her hands around her mouth to yell.
Shaking my head, I reply with a trembling voice. “No, I don’t think I can do this anymore!”
“What, you can’t go back, the bridge is the only way we can get to the other side of the mountain. All that lays beneath is a creek with sharp-edged rocks sticking out of the ground.”
“You telling me what’s below us doesn’t make me feel better right now!”
