Chapter 6

Vancha and Larten had made their way out of the mountain and were currently looking for signs that showed which way Amber had gone. It would have been easy if it hadn't started to snow heavily and if the wind would chose one direction to blow in. The wind was blowing in every direction making it hard to locate any specific sent. The two vampires were running through the snow trying to find any indication that Amber had been here. So far they had found nothing.

"This is ridiculous! It's like something doesn't want us to find her!" Vancha shouted over the wind.

"Calm down Vancha. We will find her. It will just take some time." Larten said.

"That's easy for you to say. Something could have happened to her already."

"Calm down. Panicking is not going to help right now."

"I'm not panicking!"

"Yes you are. And if you keep it up, you might miss something important."

"Like what?"

"Like that." Larten said pointing to a tree. Vancha looked where he was pointing.

"There's a dent in the tree, so what?"

"That is not a natural dent. Near here is a path that circles back to the mountain and if Amber followed it, it would have led her back to this spot. She probably kicked the tree in frustration, leaving the dent"

"That makes sense. And if that's true, she can't be too far from here," Vancha said. "Let's go. The sooner we find her the better. The weather is about to get worse. I can smell it."

Larten nodded and together they started off.
