Chapter Three: The Salvation of Paradise
Without a second thought Paige peeled away the skin on her hands to reveal the earlier claw like fingers she’d used to get up onto the top of the building. “Please work as well going down, as yuh did going up.” She was talking to herself, a nervous habit she’d had since she was a little girl. It was times like these that she wished her little brother Josh was around; those wings of his would have come in handy right about now. Walking towards the ledge with slow cautious steps Paige kneeled down and grabbed hold of the ledge of the roof digging her claw like fingers in deep to secure herself as she brought one leg over the side and then the other, all the while praying that she didn’t fall to her death while doing this little stunt.

Willing herself not to look down for fear she might have and anxiety attack, Paige slowly removed one claw like hand from the building, moving it down to about where her stomach was she again forced the claws into the side of the building securing that hand so that she was able to move the other one down next to it. While moving her hands to climb down she braced her feet against the side of the building like someone who was repealing, though she didn’t have a rope for safety. Blond hair falling into her eyes as she tilted her head down just a little bit, her blue eyes focused only on her hands and the side of the building. “Ah’m a nutcase.” Paige breathed, trying not to get herself worked up for fear her palms would get sweaty and she’d fall. It wasn’t that Paige was afraid of the height she was at, nor was it that fact that she was climbing down the building. It was the fact that she hadn’t tried climbing down a building like this. Sure she’d climbed up buildings numerous times with these claw like fingers, but climbing down was a little trickier.

The only noise Paige could hear at that very moment was the rhythmic beating of her heart and the slowly soft breathing she was trying to use to keep herself calm, the blond southerner kept up a good act but inside she was still the youngest member on the team and was still had a lot of the same fear and idiosyncrasies she’d had on her very first mission out with the team. Looking up the length of the building Paige finally felt as if she was getting closer to the bottom, and at long last her feet finally hit solid ground again. “Ah think that’s the last time ah try that for awhile.” Paige breathed, glancing over towards her teammates Paige tried her best to hide the bit of anxiety she’d felt while doing that little stunt.

“What happened?” She questioned Victoria as Franki, herself and Cloak reached the group. “Are those guys what ah think they are?”
