Chapter 2:Blizzards make me see things!
As days gone by, the squad was tasked to capture territorial points ,hoping not to bump into German MG squads. They also encounter endless blizzards which might get the team separated and let the unlucky shiver to their misery.
One not-so-fine day, Lev and his comrades were heading to the front doing their usual routine. Suddenly, an unexpected blizzard stormed the front. The blizzard was so strong, Lev and his squad led by captain Reznov was seperated. Lev was finally on his own. To avoid encountering the Germans, he had no choice but to prone on the thick snowy blankets with frozen soldiers who fought earlier.
As he was scanning for danger, he saw a silhouette of a woman. Being curious, he went closer to the silhouette. He saw crystals bursting out of her hands.
"Scheiße, it's freezing here." as Lev heard a conversation which he assured and assumed it is German, hid himself in the thick snowy blankets hopping there were no dead bodies.
Lev took a glance at the German realising he was a sniper. Surprisingly he was alone, Lev pulled out his mosin rifle and try to shoot him before he started to fade away from his line of sight.
Unfortunately, he managed to chip off part of his stahlhelm, which might attracted the sniper to fight. To his surprise, he had tried to fall back to the nearest German HQ.
"That's right! Retreat while you still can, you fascist bastard!" Lev mocked him as he sprinted away.
As the blizzard was clearing, Lev's line of sight extended and he could see the sniper. Before Lev could take aim, he saw not only the sniper but a girl who might be the silhouette he was curious about. She was in her twenties just like Lev but the weird thing is, she was provoking the sniper with icicles that just appeared from her hands! Besides that, her dress was literally crystallised as if it was made out of ice. Well, eventually Lev found out that it IS made out of ice. Her hair is platinum blonde which explains he got confused whether her hair is yellow or white.
After the sniper was weakened, Lev took a shot at him. Before thanking the girl, she ran away without him noticing. When Lev rubbed his eyes when a random snowflake landed on his face, the girl was no where to be found. Before hunting for her,he saw a Katyusha and the driver was calling him by his rank.
"I'm over here!" Lev shouted at him while waving his arms hoping he would drive towards him. Eventually, he ran to the truck and immediately enter the passenger seat.
"Thank you,comrade. Without you,I would have been shot by a sniper or worst." Lev thanked the driver as he was panting. "I'm going back to the armoury where the penal battalions and AT guns are," the driver told him while driving the truck avoiding the thick white paths.
"Good,I will have to call this a day and head back to camp." Lev replied while reloading his rifle.
As their conversation started to get less awkward,they both finally reached to their destination and Lev quickly hopped out of the Katyusha and joined his comrades while the driver was helping out the other soldiers loading rockets on the launcher.
