Jackie: Climbing down a cliff sounded like a very smart idea…. Though it was all my idea…
Jessie: I totally agree on that sis.
Lindsay: Even though we all share a fear of heights, we will deal with it… Possibly… Or we'll end up dying by falling off the rock wall.
Three hours passed and the girl's didn't even make it one fourth the way down the cliff. Just as they were climbing over a large ledge, the whole cliff started to shake violently. The girl's lost their footing but manages to grab onto the ledge above them.
"Hold on!" Lindsay yelled, as they gripped the ledge above them tightly, legs scrambling to get a foot hold. The twins were on either side of Lindsay, but were a least a foot away from her at the most. Large pieces of rock rolled down the cliff on either side of them, coming a little too close to them as they swung slightly.
"I'm slipping!" Jessie screamed as one of her hands slipped off the ledge, dripping with sweat.
"Sometimes I wonder why we even do stupid things like this!" Jackie growled as the shaking stopped. Lindsay shook her head slightly as they continued down the cliff for several hours, even though their muscles were aching like hell. Jessie lost her footing when she was trying to reach one of the footholds but it shattered under her foot and she fell off the wall and down towards the dense jungle below, screaming all the way. But as soon as she disappeared into the jungle, the screaming stopped.
"JESSIE!" The two remaining girls screeched, their hearts fluttering with fear. They both looked at each other, fear and panic flashing in their eyes and nodded slightly. They both took several deep breaths to try to calm themselves down, though it wasn't working as well as they hoped.
"We have to find her!" Lindsay growled, trying to hide her panic as they finally made it half way down the cliff, five hours after they started.
"Are you willing to go on any farther Lindsay?" Jackie asked, spotting a large ledge to the right of them. Lindsay looked over at the older twin, with an annoyed and irritated look.
"Alright, we'll rest for a while Lindz. You have to stop being so moody most of the time." Jackie muttered and safely climbed up onto the ledge and looked up the cliff that they just climbed down half way. The older twin was trying not to freak out as both her and Lindsay peeked over the ledge, looking down at the jungle. They then withdrew from the ledge and hugged each other extremely tight, trying not to suffocate each other as they did so.
"We need to get moving before nightfall… or else we won't be able to see anything until morning. But first we have to rest for a while to get at least some of our strength back." Jackie said softly.
"I never want to do this ever again as long as I live. Going up freestyle is fine… but going down freestyle is off my list of things to do for fun….. And that's final!" Lindsay hissed. Jackie just nodded slightly, knowing that after all, it had been her idea. About two hours later they felt a little better, and the muscles in their arms and legs weren't killing them that much anymore. They stretches slightly, rubbing their sore arms and legs which were cramping up a bit.
"You know… I wonder what else is waiting for us down there. Rahi…. Toa…. Matoran… Who knows… We're just have to find out!" Lindsay muttered. Jackie just shrugged, rolling her eyes slightly as she did so.
"Well we'll just have to find out for ourselves. Now let's get going." Jackie said as she slowly swung herself off the ledge, still gripping the ledge and found some strong footholds below her. Lindsay was right behind her, muttering stuff under her breath. For another two hours they descended rather quickly, making it three fourths of the way down before it started to get dark. The girls settled in a large deep indent in the wall, muscles screaming in pain once again.
"By tomorrow morning we'll be at the bottom of the cliff. I'll be thankful to have my feet back of the ground again." Lindsay said. As they were resting, not one of them knew that they were being watched from beneath the jungle from the time they started to descend down the cliff till now. The sound of drums beating and pounding in the forest woke them up from their restless sleep a few hours later along with some bird-like screeches.
"What was that?" Lindsay muttered, as they peeked over the ledge that jutted out from the indent.
"HELLO? IS ANYONE DOWN THERE THAT CAN HELP US DOWN?" Jackie yelled. Only the wind whistling in their ears answered them, other then the drums that kept beating from the forest below and the bird calls. The dawn had already broken so they had enough light to continue their decent down to find Jessie and probably to find some help along the way down.
"Lets go." Lindsay muttered as they found good footholds on the right side of the indent, nodded slightly and started to climb down.. As soon as she said that, they heard a whirling sound from down below them. The two girls slowly looked over at each other then looked down to see a rather strange looking insectiod rahi was glaring up at them at the foot of the cliff. The girls freaked and instead of going down, they were scrambling to go back up, trying franticly to grab hand holds and foot holds, though they made most of them crack and fall towards the ground.
"TOA!" Lindsay screamed franticly, trying to climb back up the cliff as quickly as possible. Green energy beams were hitting the wall around them, scaring them out of their minds.
"Move it to the right! Yes, right, Jackie, not the left! Over that large ledge…. Hurry!" Lindsay ordered. The older twin nodded and pulling herself up onto the ledge as Lindsay climbed up next to her. They were hidden from sight, but the energy beams were hitting the wall above their heads, making the rock wall crumble behind them.
"TOA LEWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Jackie screamed. Peeking over the edge, they found a tree branch from a tall tree about a foot away from them.
"Jump!" Lindsay yelled. The twin looked at her like she was crazy.
"What the hell? Are you crazy Lindsay?" Jackie hissed, fear shining in her eyes. Lindsay gave her a death glare, which made her shutter slightly.
"Just do it if you don't want to by crushed by boulders the size of me!" Lindsay growled, narrowing her blue eyes. Jackie shook her head, stood up, and jumped off the ledge. She missed grabbing the branch, but grabbed a vine instead, making it swing slightly. Lindsay also missed the branch and grabbed another vine near her. They started to swing from vine to vine, calling or literally screeching the Toa of Air's name all the while being chased by the Dark Hunter, who was still shooting green energy beams at them while following them. The rahi cursed when he kept on missing the girls because they were swing from vine to vine.
"YOU'RE FUCKIN' CRAZY LINDSAY!" Jackie screamed as she almost smashed into a tree, but managed to dodge at the last second.
"I… KNOW… THAT! BUT I'M MORE INSANE THEN CRAZY!" Lindsay screeched, passing several small green matoran on the branch below her who were mounted on strange birds-like rahi. Jackie glanced down just to see them wave to them to her. Jackie quickly looked up to grab another vine before she almost smacked right into it.
"DAMNIT LINDSAY! WHERE ARE WE GOING?" Jackie screamed as she grabbed onto another vine just as her other one that she had been swinging on was destroyed because of a green energy beam.
"I HAVE NO CLUE!" Lindsay hollered back at the oldest girl.
"OH THATS REALLY GREAT! WE'RE GONNA GET OURSELVES BOTH KILLED HERE!" Jackie hollered at her friend, who was grabbing onto another vine that was hanging down in front of her.
Jackie: Hopefully this was long enough for you. The chapters after this will be longer probably over 1400 words from now on. Don't you guys worry about the chapters being short anymore.
Jessie: And hopefully you guys are happy with the cliffhangers we put at the end of the chapters.
Lindsay: Because that's all a part of the fun waiting for the next chapter. You guys get to guess what's going to happen to the girls.
Spoiler: "Yeah fire! The pyro gets to play with fire! The pyro gets to play with fire!" Hellz yeah!" Lindsay sang.
"Isee hot, isee cold, I see me making an ice cream cone!" Jessie chanted. Jackie blinked slowly, looking at her two friends, who were prancing around her like a bunch of morons.
"Why are you two so happyjoyed? I'm glad that I have the power over wind/air, but you don't see me making a fool of myself over it." Jackie muttered softly, glaring at the two. The two girls stopped in their tracks quickly and stared at the oldest twin, a shocked and confused look on their faces.
"What did you just say?" Lindsay asked.
