Helen was watching Heather move up through the branches of the trees, her heart in her mouth, she could not imagine anyone surviving that crash, and after Heather called down to them that there were no signs of life, a small gulp escaped Helen - she wanted to cry for the man and his family and mostly herself.<br/><br/><em>What more could they have done? They’d tried.</em><br/><br/>A lump appeared in her throat and she tried to swallow. The way Heather spoke, Helen thought she might be doctor, but doctors could be wrong? All sorts of things went going through her mind.<br/>A creaking, cracking sound brought her out of self pity. Oh god, was that the branch breaking? Frightened by what she thought was going to happen, she shouted at Adam.<br/><br/>“Get her to come down.”<br/><br/>She quickly turned to the solider, “She has to come down now before….”  She couldn’t finish what she was about to say, she knew she was lucky to be alive - they were all lucky to be alive. She looked up knowing the dangerous situation Heather was in, she was afraid of death.<em>No more death, please,</em>she begged as she heard the branch crack once again.<br/><br/>
