PART XVIThe Final Climb
I walked over the fire-pit in front of the last cabin. Nico, Gaeten, Nicholas, and Bob gathered around me, we all stared at the cabin. It was larger than the others, and it had 5 windows, rectangular and narrow just under the roof line. We walked around the back and to our surprise we found no door. What?! No door? What kind of house is this? Did the old woman walk through the walls? The thought froze me for a second. “Well, I guess we go through the windows,” Bob said and we all agreed. Most 
of the windows were broken already. We chose one window that was open the most. After removing the last shards of glass we tried to peek into the cabin. However, the windows were too high, even when we jumped. Nicholas stepped forward.
“Alright, someone is gonna have to lift me up, I’m going in.”
Gaeten put out a knee and Bob grabbed Nicholas’ arm. They pushed him up to the window. Once he had a good grip of the ledge he tried to retrieve his flashlight, but the window sill was too narrow for him to reach around and grab his flashlight without losing his grip. He looked down at us,
“It’s now or never, we didn’t come here for nothing.”
And with that, Bob and Gaeten provided the extra push to put him through the window. My fears were soaring, we had just placed our friend into the heart of darkness, he had no idea what he would see, what he would stumble upon, what or whom he would come across. I heard Nicholas’ feet hit the floor. He was inside the largest cabin, he went face first into danger. I stood aback from the cabin and saw a light shine out, his flashlight.

“Guys, you will not believe it,” a voice came from inside the cabin. Nicholas was alright, he had survived. But there was something in his voice that disturbed me. He sounded confused yet calm, what was he seeing? I had to know.
“Bob, Gaeten, put me up there.”
“Bob, Gaeten, put me up there.”
I reached the window, Nicholas pulled me in, and my feet hit the floor. I looked up and saw wonderful things…
