Instinctively, she copied climbing techniques, pushing against the stone wall, and began to ascend.

Thankfully, her light weight meant the vines could support her.

Raegan climbed with caution, absorbing the discomfort.

Hope was nearly in her grasp. She was just a few steps from safety.

But then, there was a loud snap echoed.

One vine broke!

With only one vine left, supporting her weight seemed impossible.

Raegan's heart raced as she hurried her ascent, ignoring the danger from above.

Then, another snap! The other vine that was pulling her gave way.

Raegan's heart skipped a beat. Desperately, she extended her arm, trying to grab something solid, but her hand closed around a rock that was falling.

Panic engulfed Raegan, her body stiffening as she shut her eyes tight.

Then, suddenly, her wrist was grabbed with force.

Raegan's body collided with the stone wall, halting her descent. Her arm throbbed with pain as if someone were attempting to pull it from her body.

Struggling, Raegan managed to look up. Amidst the chaos, she saw Mitchel's strikingly attractive face before her.

Their gazes locked, conveying everything without words. Tears filled their eyes.

"Mitchel. . Raegan's voice broke through her tears. She had been convinced she was about to fall.

Never did she imagine Mitchel would appear at such a critical moment.

Mitchel's grip was firm, his gaze sharp and focused on her. "Grab my other hand."

Moving her other arm felt almost impossible for Raegan.

With Mitchel sprawled on the ground, pulling Raegan up seemed like an insurmountable task. It was like an impossible feat.
