I know, I know this is super short, but there's nothing more to this one that's needed to be honest.
The flames stared at me, and it was all I could think about now. A sudden gentle grab of Phineas' hand snapped me back to reality.
"Sis? You okay?" he asked me.
"I…" I hesitated, and I finally choked out, "I can't do it. I'm too scared."
"Just close your eyes. It won't be so bad. I promise," he assured me.
I trusted my brother, and so I closed my eyes. He's right. I couldn't see the fire anymore, so I was less afraid, but I was still scared since I knew it was in front of me.
Phineas still had his hand in mine, and he said, "Okay, everyone, we're going to jump on the count of thr-"
"Hurry it up, soldier," Other Dimension Candace called out, "I'm cutting these carts loose pretty quick here."
"Okay," Phineas said, grasping my hand tighter as I too grasped tighter. I was terrified. Phineas then called out, "One. Two. Three."
I felt tears well up in my eyes since I was so scared, but I had to do this. On impulse I jumped and I felt myself fly through the air. Phineas' hand never left mine, and I felt a small sting of pain as we jumped through the flames. Before I knew it, I felt myself hit something or someone, and I opened my eyes. I was leaning against Other Dimension Candace who'd caught me for support under Phineas' orders apparently. My feet were touching the ground of the moving cart. Other Dimension Candace had her bow staff in hand, and her other hand was at her hip. She suddenly was replaced with Phineas who instantly hugged me as Other Dimension Candace cut loose the flaming carts and the security door was shut.
"You did it, Marissa," Phineas praised, "I'm so proud of you. We're safe now."
My eyes got misty as I realized it was true. We were safe now. I hugged Phineas and burst into tears.
We're safe...We're safe...We're safe.
Yes, I know it's short, and never in a million years would I have done it. My OC is A LOT braver than I am lol.
