Stuck Together
Chapter 5: Avalanche
*~*~*~*
**********Squall's POV************
She cried into my arms, and I put comforting arms around her. That was one of my best moments.
We were now climbing down the mountain again. Except, this time, the wall was not as steep. I was close to Yuffie since I knew that she was scared of heights. And from what just happened, I don't want her to get scared.
Whenever she slipped, I made sure I was there to catch her, even if it meant me falling.
We climbed down the snowy mountain. As I looked towards our destination, I saw the desert not to far away. If we just got to the bottom of this mountain and walked towards it, we would be there in no time at all.
"Almost there Yuffie," I said as we continued.
I saw her nod her head and keep her head facing the wall and not downwards.
After a long time, I could tell she was getting tired. But as soon as I realized that, we were touching the ground.
It was thin snow and not as deep as the mountain. Both of us still hadn't eaten any of the berries yet, and I didn't plan to.
"You alright?" I asked emotionlessly.
"Yeah," Yuffie said as she hopped down and looked around.
All it was was a prairie land of snow. We would have to walk for another hour before we got to the desert, and then it would be another long time until we got to the buildings.
I took a couple of berries and popped them into my mouth, feeling the juice swish around.
We walked along, side by side. I kept taking glances over at her to make sure she was all right. She was and now she wasn't as scared as she while we climbed down the mountain.
It was utter silence as we walked throughout the snow land. Nothing was making the slightest sound, except for our footsteps crunching into the snow.
I wonder how Yuffie was doing. She still did have her cut on her arm. Then I looked down at my legs where the bite marks were. It was still there and still red. I guess both of us forgot about our wounds and paid more attention on staying alive.
I heard a loud howl behind us. Yuffie and I stopped, turned around, and looked at what was making the sound.
There was another wolf. It was on a cliff on the mountain, and it was looking straight at us. We weren't to far away from the mountain.
The wolf started howling loudly, and I'm sure that if I was right next to it, I would go deaf. It kept howling, as if in defeat. I kept watching it in case it came after us.
Suddenly, the ground started rumbling badly. It felt as if an earthquake was happening. I looked over at Yuffie and I saw her trying to keep her balance as the ground shook with anger. The wolf howled more, and then stopped. The rumbling came louder and I heard crashes.
"Oh my god, look!" Yuffie said and she pointed up to the top of the mountain with difficulty of staying still.
I looked at the top of the mountain, and saw snow in large chunks coming down. It crashed through anything in its way and ate it up.
Avalanche.
"Come on Yuffie!" I yelled as I grabbed Yuffie's arm and both of us ran for cover. The crashes and the thundering of the snow started getting louder and louder.
There was nowhere to go! The Avalanche was sure faster than us, and I know that it would catch up to us soon.
"Hurry up!" I yelled as I still held my hand on Yuffie's arm.
"I'm trying!" she yelled.
I took a glance back, and I saw the avalanche at the bottom of the mountain,a nd was only half of a mile away from us.
"Come on!"
I'm not sure if we'd make it. The thundering kept getting louder and louder with every running step we took. The ground kept shaking violently, and we heard the wolves howl in pain in the distance.
Then ahead of us, I saw a large rock.
"Look! Lets get behind that rock!" I yelled over the avalanches sound as we continued running as fast as we can.
The avalanche was now a quarter of a mile away and was getting closer and closer.
We kept running. My hand moved down to her hand, and I grasped it tightly, not letting go. Her hand responded by holding onto my hand tightly too.
Suddenly, the avalanche was right behind us. Our feet almost touched the snow that the avalanche was giving off. The rock was getting closer... and closer... and...
Then I pushed Yuffie behind the ten foot rock. I held her up against it and covered her body with mine. Our hands were still together, and Yuffie was shaking under me.
The Avalanche touched the rock and flew past it. The rock was like a large shield, deflecting the attacks of enemies. The snow never touched us, but it kept going on and on like a river. I kept myself up to Yuffie's body, making sure she is up against the rock and that my body is protecting hers.
After a while, the Avalanche stopped, and the snow was six feet higher than before.
I stepped back from Yuffie, and she looked up at me. We were really close.
"Are you alright Yuffie?" I asked, and I knew I showed concerns on my face.
She nodded, and stopped shaking.
"That was close," she said, as we tried to get our way across the seven foot deep snow by climbing over it.
