Felix hadn't expected the lighthouse to split. But it had, and now it was shaking horribly.
He was about to tell Sheba to lie down for stability when a particularly strong tremor knocked her down - and over the edge. He heard a high shriek.
"Noooo! Sheba!"
Then he was at the spot where she had fallen - except that she hadn't fallen. She'd managed to catch herself on the edge, and was now hanging by her fingerttips. In a moment she had lost her grip with one hand, then the other.
The time for words was past. There was only one thing to do. Felix stood up, leaned over the edge, and jumped after her.
