And soon she reached the top! Giggling, she tilted her head back and beamed at the older girl. "I win!" She climbed down juuuuuuust enough so she was at jumping distance and THEN she JUMPED off the wall, landing neatly on her feet and using her fists to hit the ground at the same time as her feet to decrease landing pressure. "Keep going!" She had to finish TOO before she jumped.
Vi had already made the mistake of looking down. Oh MERLIN'S UNDERPANTS. THAT was a LOOONG way too fall.
Really it wasn't a long way to fall and all but..... It was still scary nonetheless.
And besides a girl nearly half her height had made it to the top so she had to keep going. Right. Biting her lip, Vi cast her direction upwards and continued climbing...... Lo and behold, she had reached the top before she knew it. WOW! Incredible. The adrenaline rush was something to behold indeed. Touching the top of the rock climbing wall, she then jumped down and...
CRACK!
Immense pain shot up through her right ankle and she found herself on the ground, cradling her ankle. Ow. Ow... Ow... That was very painful. She must have at least twisted it, right?
"
Nice job," she said with a grin (or was it grimace) as she cradled her ankle closer to her and tried not to show the younger year that she was in any sort of pain. Vi would just stay here on the ground for a little bit.... to recover... Yeah... that was it.
