บท 56: The woods- Part 3

Once she was up, she started to balance herself on the branch which felt weak and shaky. After a good amount of springing on the branch, stretching and reaching out to the fruit Damien had previously pointed. 

Just as she balanced herself, the branch above her where she had been holding broke to come in her hand. For a mere second, she was scared and let out a sigh of relief that everything was alright until she heard another crack sound before she felt her heart slip as the branch she had been standing on broke. 

But Penny didn't fall on the ground, instead, Damien had caught hold of her in time just as she fell from the tree. Penny had squeezed her eyes shut ready for her body to hit the ground. When it didn't happen, she finally opened her eyes to see Damien staring at her. She could feel his arms around her back and legs that were preventing her from hitting the ground.

"Thank you," she thanked looking at him.
