Don't Let Go

Chapter One – Slipping

NOD'S POV

It all happened so quickly. The dog "Ozzie" was barking and jumping at us below as Ronin pulled us up to the windowsill with a rope. I had a proper grip on the rope and was standing on wood as we went up and MK was holding tightly on to my wrist as I held hers with my other hand.

I wasn't concentrating! Then I heard the sucking sound and felt MK's grip lessen. I looked down at her; her body was being pulled towards a black tube that was sucking everything loose and light in its path.

She looked at me with desperate eyes. 'No!' I shouted as her hand slipped down to the end of my hand. 'Don't let go!' Her hand was now on my palm, my grip on her arm tightened. 'Don't let go!' She gave me another desperate look, her hand slipped down to my fingers. I blinked and my hand was empty. I heard her screams echo through the black tube followed by the clank as she hit the glass jar at the bottom.

'NO!' I shouted one final time as the stomper lifted up the glass jar and rounded a corner and left my sight.

Ronin finished lifting me up to the windowsill and looked at me sadly. 'We have to go back for her.'

'And what? Get caught to?' He grabbed my arm as I prepared to jump down from the ledge.

'We can't just leave her behind! Who knows what will happen?!' I yelled back.

'The stomper won't do anything! If he's her dad then he won't harm her, but if we do go back for her, we won't get the pod back and it'll bloom in darkness and the forest will die! Is that what you want?!' Ronin looked into my eyes fiercely.

I opened my mouth to respond…but nothing came out. He was right. If we go back now, we won't have enough time to get the pod. I sighed. 'You're right.' I looked down sadly and he let go of my arm. I looked angrily into his eyes. 'Promise me that once we get the pod back and it blooms, we'll come back for her.'

'I promise.' He responded simply.

'You better hope, for both her sake and yours that you're right and she'll be fine. Because if she isn't, I'll kill you.'

He opened his mouth to respond but before he could say a thing I was jumping out the window and running to where the birds are in the forest.

Please be okay MK.
