 Egg 3: No. 284 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
As with the previous egg, Jude pocketed number two. He then proceeded to check the strength of the Charm, to see that it was still strong or if it needed replenishing. Much to his surprise and delight, it seemed to be enough for one more climb. And climbing again he did.
The third tree he selected was the one on the immediate right of the one he had just descended. His movements obviously mirrored the ones from earlier because one could not manually climb a tree any other way… right? Remember how he thought that the Charm was still strong enough? It turns out Jude was wrong for he could feel his hands sticking less to the tree just as he reached the top. This made him grab the egg hurriedly then commence his descent. Even as he did, he felt his feet not sticking as securely as before. Thankfully the ground wasn’t much farther and he arrived there without drama.
As for the egg’s number? 284. |
