The morning sun shone through the trees as Sepias freezing form was on the edge of the tree house, almost about to fall over. Still wishing and believing everything was a dream, her eyes once again open but not to the sound of the alarm clock but to birds music.

"How nice..." was the first things she said as she got up and looked to the sky, but once she looked down her expression was totally different.

"Oh fu-!" she was about to swear but put her hand to her mouth as she looked down at the distant grounds of the forest.

"What in the hell?!?!?!" she yelled finally getting her bearings right and looked around properly. Only last night she had though that this was all a dream, nothing more but a really bad and weird dream.

"Who? What? Where? How?" She constantly repeated as she moved away from the edge and into circles trying to see an explanation. All the questions, confusions and worries hit her at once, causing her to breathe hard and becoming a bit dizzy. Then all the powers and resistance built up in her voice box and she scream as loud as she could to shut every question and worries from her brain, it was too much for her at the moment. The scream, scared away all the birds and any other small creatures as soon as it was heard but then it's stopped and silence prevailed.

Sepia looked around like mad, her eyes open with rage as she saw no-one and finally had to accept the truth that she was alone. Stomping upon the thin wooden structure of the floor, she raised her hand in the air and clenched her teeth together to keep her from yelling once again.

"Enigma...help..." she finally managed to say between sobs and angry outbursts. She was never like this normally but when she was alone, in a place she never knew about then it was her sister that she needed the most. Unfortunately her sister wasn't here and it made her angry, that she was separated from her and left alone...all alone. When that idea struck at her again, she couldn't just stand and scream all day, she had to find her sister no matter what! Whipping her tears and breathing in deeply for a few moments, she advanced towards the house where she hoped to find a rope of a door to the bottom. The moment she touched the door of the house, dust began to come around her once more and causing her to sneeze like mad. With watery eyes from the dust and an itchy nose, she moved through the little house, with one hand to her mouth and the other hanging on to something so she wouldn't fall.

"Yes!" Sepia finally said as she spotted a rope of some type near in the corner of the room to her left. Moving watchfully towards it with wolf like eyes, she grabbed it quickly and ran towards the door and to fresh air. Finally coming out she breathed deeply in and smiled as she looked at her rope in her hands, but once she saw her ripped and dirty costume she wasn't so pleased.

"Oh man!" She yelled as she tried to whip some of it off in hope not to disappoint her sister. Seeing that it only caused the stains to get bigger so she gave up and just stomped away to tie the rope to a think branch.

I'm sure Enigma will believe that I was stuck in a tree house in the middle of no where...when I find her...right? She thought to herself as she desperately tried to tie the rope up properly onto the branch so she wouldn't be flying like Tarzan towards a tree.

"I'm going to kill whoever did this to me and Enigma...argh" she raged off again as she put all her strength into tying the last loop and almost breaking it off in the process.

" I must calm down...calm down...calm down..." she constantly repeated as she moved over the edge of the tree house's floor and looked down once more.

"Oh my G-! Why up high? I hate heights?" a small tear came again as her heart raced like a horse as soon as she tried to sit down to tie the end of the rope upon herself.

"Enigma...help!" she said in vain, hoping Enigma would rescue her from heights again like she always did when she was stuck and frozen stiff somewhere up high.

"I need you" she said again with another tear as she advanced slowly down to the below tree, stopping so frequently out of fear from falling. With her hands still upon the floor, she finally touched the next branch but somehow didn't dare let go of the floor piece as if her life was hanging on the life.

"It is!" she yelled back to her thoughts as she looked down towards the distant surface once again.

"How does Enigma always do it...What did she always say to me?" Sepia asked herself as she couldn't will herself to let go, then the answer came.

"Trust yourself and don't look down!" she repeated the words that Enigma repeated to her so many times when she was rescuing her from somewhere high. Taking one hand off slowly with eyes on her destination and not her doom, she finally managed to get the other one off at the same time and grab onto the nearest branch as quick as possible.

"It worked!" she yelled in success as she looked above her but then it hit her that it was only the first branch and there where many more to come. Looking down she realized that each branch was going to be harder then the last, yet something gave her the courage to proceed...to fight her fears at last.
