Having lost her mother at a young age, Be was raised by her three stepmothers. Sasha often took


    Be under her wing, introducing her to the thrills of boxing, horseback riding, and archery. Rock


    climbing, however, held a special ce in their bond.


    Their shared hobby hade in handy today.


    Be was about to reach the top when she felt a powerful quake and


    rumbling.


    A steady stream of rocks rolled off the cliff. Anotherndslide was


    “Seriously, God? I have done a lot of charity, and this is how you repay


    me?!”


    As the rock with Be’s foot on it fell, gravity pulled her down. She


    had nothing to hold on to.


    “No… Help!”


    She widened her eyes in horror as despair consumed her.


    The fall into the abyss would only crush her.

    As a tear slipped out, Be closed her eyes in resignation.


    ?


    “Be!”


    A pair of coarse hands grabbed ahold of her wrists and pulled her out


    of the gates of hell.


    Feeling an abrupt stop to the free fall, Be opened her eyes.


    When she met Justin’s starry eyes, her heartbeat and breathing were. on pause for a moment.


    “Justin…”


    Was it a dream? Was this all in her head?


    Her heart thumped right out of her chest.


    “Don’t be scared. I’m here.”


    Justin’s intense gaze fell on her discolored face. Fear, dismay, joy,


    and heartache had a grip on him.


    Sweating profusely, Justin dug his left fingers into the soil while hel


    clutched her arm shakily.


    He could feel his body slipping down, so they were not out of the


    woods yet.


    There was a possibility they might plunge into their deaths together.


    “Justin…”


    ?


    Be called out his name softly as tears rolled down her cheeks. “I


    don’t want to die…”


    She had been strong, pushing herself to the limit to climb all the way


    to the top.


    However, her feelings got the better of her the moment she saw


    Justin.


    It hurt Justin to see Be, who was normally fearless, cry.


    “Save the crying forter. Now climb up with everything you have.”


    Be sniffled and gritted her teeth to scale her way up as Justin pulled her.


    “Quick! The cliff is about to copse!” Distraught, Justin shouted at


    her.


    “I know! I’m going as quickly as I can!” Teary-eyed, Be shouted back.


    Justin furrowed his brows.


    She was cuter when she was bawling her eyes out.


    A sh of lightning bathed Be’s face in light.


    Justin felt a sharp pain in his head.


    ?


    Through his blurred vision, he saw an eleven-year-old Be.


    A somewhat familiar voice rang in his ear.


    “What’s your name, little girl?”


    –“Well, if you don’t tell me, I’ll just call you little girl since you’re so small anyway…”


    Justin widened his eyes in shock. All he could hear was buzzing in his


    ear.


    The dam broke, and forgotten moments flooded back.


    That little girl, Anna…


    ?
