You shiver, chest squeezing in fear, “Jr, we shouldn’t be here. What if we get caught?” Jr rolls his eyes, “I’ve come here often. Don’t worry. I know all the blind spots…” He takes you around the wall, cutting through hedges and zigzagging across the ground. You follow, nervously clutching his arm. You finally reach the wall and he crouches in front of you, “Get on. There’s only one path up, and I’m the only one who knows it…” You hesitate and he grabs you, pulling you forward. You stumble and grudgingly climb on his back. He stands and locks your ankles firmly in front of him, then says, “Lean your head over my shoulder. It’ll balance out your weight better and allow you to hang on without choking me…” You do so, resting your chin on his shoulder, arms locked firmly around his chest. He says, “Hold on tight,” and lets go. Now you’re the only thing keeping you on him. You gulp, looking up. That’s really high. If you lose grip and fall… Your legs tighten around him. You’re sure that he’ll be bruised but, honestly, you’d rather him be bruised than you be dead. He starts his way up the wall, using the tiniest crevices as hand and foot holds. He scales the wall quickly, as though you way nothing, and soon you’re halfway up, too afraid of losing grip to look down. This wall is RIDICULOUSLY tall… You suppose it’s good for preventing wolves from climbing out though… Jr finally reaches the top and gently pries you off him. Your arms and legs are sore from clinging to him so hard. He takes your hand, pulling you into a crouch, and bolts across the wall, to the inner edge. You have no choice but to follow.
