Chapter 6: The Fall
Ch 6
Raven stood atop the roof. The wind whistled around her. This was MUCH higher than Peach's castle was.
The guard was a Hammer B rother. Bowser Jr. had followed them to the roof.
She had already hooked up the bungee rope and attached it to herself.
"Betcha ten coins she won't do it!" The Hammer Brother taunted the young prince.
"Bet sissy Ravey WILL! "Bowser Jr. looked angrily at the Hammer Brother.
Raven backed up a little.
"Told y-"
The Hammer brother was cut off as Raven ran and took a flying leap.
She let out a wordless yell of joy as she fell.
*boing*
The cord snapped tight twenty feet above boiling hot lava. It shouldn't have brought her this close to the lava.
Dislodging her feet, she grabbed the rope and began to climb back up.
*SNAP*
RAVEN'S POV
It was a different sound then what I expected.
I looked up.
The grappling hook I usually used fell beside me.
I knew I should have gotten a new one.
As I started to fall, I heard a loud roar and felt a jolt as something grabbed the rope.
When I looked up again, my heart jumped into my throat.
Bowser was pulling it up.
"Hang on !''He roared.
"I Never thought I'd be happy to see you!" I yelled back.
Bowser looked down at me as though I was crazy.
About twenty feet back up to the roof, I started to lose my grip on the rope.
"Craaaaapp!" I yelped.
"Sissy Raven?" Bowser Jr. called.
I slid further down the rope.
The lava bubbled below me promising fiery painful death if I was to slip.
Next to the lava was the metal bridge to the castle.
There was about a foot of rope left between me and the lava.
Bowser looked frantic at this point.
"RAVEN , JUST A FEW MORE FEET!" He yelled.
"If I didn't know better, I'd think you were worried!"I called up.
If I jumped and twisted my body,I could probably land on the bridge. I was going up at an alarming rate though.
Making my decision,I was about to let go...
But came face to face with Bowser.
The Hammer brother had disappeared.
He deposited me safely on the ground.
Only then did I realize I was shaking.
Bowser crouched beside me, clearly worried.
"Are you ok?" He questioned.
"Y-yeah.. can I do that again?" That was Awesome!"
I tried to smile but failed.
I felt dizzy suddenly.
Bowser and Bowser Jr. became blurry then everything went black.
