Gale stood at the edge of the building roof. She felt the harsh wind whip across her face, stinging and almost bringing a tear to her eye.
"You ready? If you want to be with us, you gotta run. With faith." She looked up at the girl, with her short black hair, tattoo (or was it an inscribtion?) under her eye and across her arm. She leaned against the wall and continued;
"And by faith, I don't mean with me, I mean with your heart." She said with a smile.
"If you're the faith I know, which I don't, that was pretty inspirational. Which it wasn't." Gale looked back down the edge of the building.
"Wow, you're really that scared of a little height?" Faith taunted.
Gale didn't reply but instead just kept looking at the floor. They must've been 20.. No, more around 35 foot high of the ground. One simple misake and it's goodbye broadway..
"Well then, what say we make it a little more interesting? Something to take you're mind of it. A race. Ready?" Faith stood at the edge of the building, on foot ahead, in her perfect stance.
"Hey! Wait a minute!" Gale insitied, getting up to her feet.
"No time, go!" She propellered herself, almost like a catapult and landed with a roll on the rooftop ahead. It was lower than the one Gale was left standing on but still a good 3 feet away. She cursed and began to breathe deep.
Bitch! How dare she leave me behind!.. Well if it's a race she wants, then a race she will get!
She had made up her mind. She took one last breath in and exhalled, her brain almost joked with her saying "Enjoy it, it may be your last one!" but then realised that if she dies, it will be dead too. So it shut up.
She took a few steps back and began to sprint. Before she knew it, she was at the edge of the platform and her whole body screamed, JUMP!
And it did. Succesfully too! But she forgot to roll. She almost landed on her face and her feet began to sting. She thought to best leave them recover before going on. As she sat down, she heard Faith's voice,
"Yo! What are you doing down there? You win a race by being fast, not by being lazy! Shift it!"
"My feet hurt, leave me alone!" Gale retorted, hoping for some sort of comfort.
"More fool you for not rolling when you land. Remember if you lose, you're out."
Damnit! She just can't help but push.. But it's for the best- Oh shut up you and get running.
After realising she had literally just argued with herself, she figurured it might be a good idea to move.
