*I know it's a short chapter, but I had to end it here because it would be a great cliff hanger. But don't worry because I have a WHOLE 'nother chapter all ready, already!* :)
Avalanche!
"The Yeti!" Yoshiko screamed.
"The what?"
"The Abominable Snowman!"
Jack quickly unsheated his sword, and Yoshiko pulled out her hunting knife. The two stepped forward, their blades glittered against the snow's reflection. The flash of the steel, momentarily stunned the monster and it stumbled. Then it lost it's balance and fell against the mountain side. It landed hard enough to create a vibration. Jack's acute sense of hearing picked up the sound of mounds of snow sliding from way above.
"Avalanche!" He shouted and he grabbed Yoshiko's arm. The snow came down fast. Jack, without looking back, could sense that the wave of snow was right behind him, for he could feel it biting at his heels.
All of a sudden he felt Yoshiko's arm slip from his hand. The Yeti had caught hold of a boulder and as Jack and Yoshiko passed it, it grasped Yoshiko by the ankle. Jack turned around to see her being slowly reeled back in by the creature.
"Keep going!" Yoshiko cried, as she struggled against the beast. "Trust me on this one, you'd be better off without me!" The image of Ikra flashed through his mind and his cold heart made him turn around again.
