Autumn paled in response to the dare. It just [i]had[/i] to be heights. Out of all the things they could have picked it had to be [i]that[/i]?! She gulped, looking at her twin in nervousness before looking around trying to spot the tallest tree. She heard David cheer her on and she smiled slightly as she picked out a tree and made her way over to it. Looking up at it she started to doubt her ability to do this. Alison was the athletic one, not her. She was just so small and the tree was, well, big. And tall, can't forget tall. How was she supposed to get up there anyway? She narrowed her eyes. No way was she giving up this easily. even if the prospect of heights made her weak in the knees. Maybe if she got a running start...? Hoping she wasn't about to embarrass herself in front of all these people Autumn backed up a good distance then ran at the tree. She leaped at it, placing one foot against the trunk and propelling herself onto a branch. 

She left out an "omph" as she landed on her stomach. She blinked in surprise, shocked that that had actually worked. She carefully righted herself, clinging tightly to the trunk as she stood. She kept her gaze firmly upward, not trusting herself to look down. She selected a branch and reached for it, testing to see if it would hold her weight. Using this method she slowly picked her way carefully up the tree. She stopped when she decided she had gone a reasonable distance. Against herself, she looked down to see how far she had gone. Her vision spun and she had to cling tightly to the tree as she became dizzy and weak-kneed. Oh that was a terribly long way down. She had gotten up by some miracle but there was no way she was going to be able to get down. 

She squeezed her eyes closed, whimpering. Oh why did she have to pick dare?! Alison, concerned for her twin, approached the base of the tree. [color=red]"Autumn?"[/color] She called up to her sister. She didn't respond, having heard Alison's voice from a distance. She felt her grip loosen on the tree, her palms having grown sweaty from fear. She gasped, scrambling to get her grip back. [color=red]"Autumn?!"[/color] Alison called in alarm. She knew she should have stopped this dare when the counselors had announced what it would be. She turned to the others. [color=red]"We need to get her down before she falls, she terrified of heights!"[/color]
