As I stepped out of the warm plane, I was filled with the crisp Canadian air.
I knew this place far too well.
I glanced at the people exiting the plane with their t-shirts and jeans. They had clearly never been here before. I grabbed my purse from Matt and walked to the end of the hall.
I was now standing in front of the baggage claim. I looked at the group of bags coming down the spinning isle.
I recognized a green backpack with black strands going across it. I felt like it was somebody's that I knew.
Then it hit me.
"Chris!" I exclaimed. I turned around to see Chris standing right behind me as if it were a movie. I ran up and gave him a hug, jumping into his arms.
For a split second, we were silent. Staring into each others eyes once again, as if it were a movie.
What broke the silence was a small giggle from me which signaled him to lower me to the ground. We quickly looked away from each other.
While waiting for our bags the only sign of being social was when we exchanged quick glances and a few smirks. Finally, I spoke. "Why did you come early too?"
"Josh asked me if I could come down to help clean the cabin up. He said it was just you and Matt helping and the cabin is kinda huge." He was interrupted by Matt coming up and having the same conversation about why he was here.
After grabbing our bags we headed outside. The weather was awful, but it was going to be much worse up on the mountain.
After going up to the cabin, Josh basically gave us jobs. Chris and I went out to get fire wood, Matt was scraping frost off the windows, and Josh was cleaning the house.
Josh had given the excuse that Matt was all muscle so he was the best person to do it.
Josh told nobody to come inside. He claimed there was broken glass everywhere and somehow going down into the basement was going to help that problem. It was very suspicious that he sent the curios people who would come in, far away.
Something was going on with Josh.
Going alone with Chris in the woods would be awkward considering our interaction earlier. As I was thinking this, Chris suddenly disappeared.
Looking around I saw a snowball just miss my shoulder. "Oh you wanna play that game?" I said. Another snowball just missed my leg. "Dang right I do." He responded.
Another flew at me, hitting me in the chest. I dashed behind a bench and hid. Chris came out from behind his hiding spot. "Where are you?" he asked almost silently.
I aimed my snowball and hit Chris in his back. I grabbed a few more and threw them. "Fine you win, all hail the Snow Queen." he responded in defeat. I came out from my hiding spot and put an invisible crown on my head.
Suddenly a noise was heard in the bushes. I turned around quickly to see nothing.
After a few more seconds an elk flew out of the bushes knocking me to the ground.
After the elk had run away Chris helped me up with a few "Are you okay?"s and "Where did that thing come from?"s.
I had a big gash on my forehead from the "attack". Chris ripped off the pocket of his coat and held it on my head as we were heading back to the cabin.
That was just bad luck.
Or was it?
