54. Tower

Aurora had mixed feelings about heights. While she liked climbing, she tended to get stuck whenever she looked down and saw how high she was.

At the moment, she was clinging to a tree with her eyes shut, hoping and praying that Daddy would come and save her. She couldn't climb back down herself. What if she fell?

Luckily, Daddy was close by. When he saw her in the tree he got her down.

"Aurora, if you're so afraid of heights, why on earth do you keep climbing?"

To this, the eight year old shrugged and ran off to play with her brother.

Will sighed, shaking his head. Aurora reminded him of Alyss when she was in the tower. Completely fearless, just as long as she didn't look down.


See? I kind of complemented Alyss. I was going to totally feature Alyss in this one, but it didn't work...I'm not sure how I feel about that...
