The sun was hidden under the beautiful white sky. Fresh snow fell from the heavens. It covered the entire ground, from the grass, to the street, to the mountains and the trees.
What a perfect way for the famous heroes of Disney World known as the Kingdom Keepers to spend Christmas break. Skiing and snowboarding up in the mountains with each other while their families stayed warmed up in the lodge.
It was the leader, Finn Whitman's, idea to come up here. He had invited everyone, including Philby, Maybeck, Charlene, Willa, and even their Fairlie friends, Jess Lockhart and her sister and Finn's girlfriend Amanda Lockhart.
At first, Finn was against Amanda coming, and even her doctors. A few months ago, Finn and Amanda fell off a Disney cruise ship and got stranded on an island. During that time, Amanda had gotten pregnant. It was news to everyone. For months she had been pregnant. It now was visible in school, her big stomach. In that stomach was Finn and Amanda's baby.
The doctors said she could be having her baby soon, and everyone was against her going skiing, but she would not take no for an answer. She would not spend Christmas alone and was coming no matter what. Plus it was she and Jess' first time skiing, but she got the hang of it immediately.
Now Christmas was two days away and everyone was having fun up in the mountains.
But little did they know, that this vacation was going to become a disaster, just like last time they were on vacation.
The keepers had been skiing and snowboarding all morning. Now they were heading into the lodge to meet with their parents for lunch.
They got food and found their parents and sat down.
"So are you guys having fun?" Mrs. Whitman asked.
"What do you think?" Finn asked with a big and wide smile that said "yes."
"I love the snow!" Maybeck exclaimed. "It's been years since I've seen snow!"
"I never saw real snow," said Willa.
"Well now you have!" said Philby, putting her arm around her.
"I can say one thing," said Willa. "It surely is cold."
Everyone laughed.
"We've gotten used to cold over the years," said Jess. "After all, we had to take cold showers almost all the time in Maryland. Right Amanda?"
Amanda was busy feeling her stomach. She suddenly made a startled sound.
"Amanda?" Finn asked.
"I felt another kick!" Amanda said happily.
"Let me hear," Finn said.
He pressed his ear against Amanda's stomach. He suddenly felt a thump.
"Our daughter is coming soon!" said Finn.
"You know it may be a boy," said Amanda.
"I know," said Finn. "But I really want a girl!"
Everyone laughed.
They then began to eat.
"So I say we go on some black diamonds when we go back out there," said Maybeck.
"I don't know," said Charlene. "Do you think we should, especially with Amanda?"
"Hey!" Amanda complained. "My child's health nor my health is none of your concern!"
"I'm just saying it because I care about you Amanda!" Charlene said.
"I want to go on a black diamond!" Jess exclaimed.
Finn nodded.
"We are," said Finn. "We're going all the way to the top!"
Everyone cheered.
After lunch they got their skis and snowboards and went up to the top of the mountain on a ski lift.
When they reached the top, Finn showed them the black diamond.
"Finn!" Philby said. "This is a double black diamond!"
"I know!" said Finn. "When I was little, I wanted to go on this so bad!"
"Finn!" Charlene said. "This is not safe for beginners!"
Finn thought for a moment.
"TOO BAD!" he yelled. He then started to go down the mountain yelling happily.
The keepers sighed and went after him. Too bad they didn't notice a sign that read trail closed.
They skidded down the mountain, screaming very loudly at the top of their lungs.
Eventually, Maybeck wiped out and fell down. The keepers went up to him when he stopped.
"Are you okay honey?" Charlene asked.
"That…was…EPIC!" Maybeck yelled loudly.
"AWESOME!" yelled Willa.
"THRILLING!" yelled Jess.
"AMAZING!" yelled Amanda.
"THIS IS THE BREAK EVER!" yelled Finn very loudly.
RUMMMMBBBBLLLLLEEE!
The keepers stopped smiling when they heard the sound of rumbling.
"What's that?" Willa asked timidly.
"LOOK!" Philby yelled pointing up.
A huge amount of snow was heading straight down the mountain.
"AVALANCHE!" Finn yelled. "RUN!"
The keepers screamed as they slid down the mountain.
They thought they saw a safety zone up ahead, but it turned out to be the edge of a cliff that lead to a snowy forest down below.
"OH GOD!" yelled Charlene.
"We're trapped!" yelled Jess.
The keepers saw the snow coming towards them fast.
Finn quickly got in front of Amanda and hugged her.
"Finn!" yelled Amanda.
"I have to protect you and the baby!" Finn yelled.
"No Finn!" Amanda yelled.
"EVERYONE BRACE YOURSELF!" Finn yelled.
The keepers stood ready as the snow hit them.
Finn felt the snow hit his back and then get buried by it.
Everyone felt themselves falling down the cliff and into the snow below, hoping to live through it.
They disappeared into the fog down below.
All right! The first chapter for my sequel to Stranded. This time, the keepers get lost all together, in the snow. There will be struggles, there will be injuries, there will be monsters and animals, and there will especially be Famanda, Wilby, and Charbeck. And also a big surprise towards the end! Hope to see you in the next chapter!
