Unable to see who was underneath her, Amanda yelled back, "Let go!? Are you crazy?" She was far enough up in the tree that she was scared of breaking a bone when she fell.
As it turned out, however, she didn't have much choice in the matter. Her telekinetic grip was slipping. She stretched up her free hand, trying to reach the tree branch and grab hold, but she was too far down to reach with her actual hand. She felt the tendrils of telekinetic energy starting to snap.
She screamed as she lost her grip, falling straight down, limbs flailing. But instead of falling faster, she found herself actually slowing down. Even through her shock and fear, part of her mind froze and thought, What the...?.
She landed in the man's arms, grabbing for him and wrapping her arms around his neck. She clung to him, shaking, letting his arms support her full weight.
As her panicked breathing started to slow down and her eyes came into focus, she let out a relieved sigh. Then she realized just who it was who had caught her.
"Sah?"
