Chapter 10 : What's This Place? / Chris
We had been running forever.
I don't even know why we were running. Maybe it's because we wanted to get back to the lodge.
Even if that was so, we had no idea where we were going. Kate's head stopped hurting but she still felt dizzy.
How I wish we all could just sit in front of a fire and relax like normal.
This might sound weird, but the nature around this place is really freaky. One time, a vine had grown around the door knob to the cable car station. I couldn't open the door and was stuck there till I found a spare knife in the back.
Now this giant "who knows what", dived out of the bushes right into this poor girls face.
But that was normal to this mountain.
I heard my phone buzzing in my pocket. I didn't answer.
Kate's rang too. She didn't answer.
We didn't feel like talking. Honestly, we really didn't even talk to each other that much.
As I was getting deeper into Chris land, Kate pulled my arm gently. I didn't notice it at first. I realized what she was doing when I felt her hand touch my skin.
A sensation spread through my arm. She looked especially pretty right now with the snowflakes spread across her head. Looking at her eyes, I saw they were filled with pain and excitement.
I forced my self to pull my eyes away. A little cabin. It looked much warmer than the outside.
"Should we go in?".
Her comment scared me a bit. It seemed like the right thing to do but her voice sounded desperate.
I had only now realized how freezing she must be.
She only had one coat and a long sleeve shirt to keep her warm. Never mind those super thin leggings with UGG boots. Her beanie was the only thing keeping her head warm. I felt super guilty.
"Dear God Chris!" She screamed "Stop looking at me and decide!".
"Uh- Okay, we should go in. You mu-must be freezing." I always stuttered when I got nervous.
Walking in, we saw how nice the place really was. No doubt this belonged to the Washington's.
"Why the hell do they have this here?" Kate said, seeming to read my mind.
"Dunno but lets hurry up in here. This place is giving me the creeps already."
Kate started a fire while I checked my phone. 4 Missed calls from Sam. Kate's phone lit up too. 6 missed calls from Matt. No doubt they were looking for us.
I picked up my phone and started dialing Sam. Though, I stopped myself.
Kate should probably call her brother.
He's most likely the most worried.
"Hey Kit-Kat," I had made up that nickname about 11 years ago in middle school. That was the first time we met.
"Your brother called." She perked up right away. Her relationship with her brother was special. They never fought, which was surprising. But I'm an only child so how should I know?
She grabbed her phone and punched in the number.
I walked into another room of the cabin to give her space.
All I heard was Kate saying three words that stung my brain
"We are safe."
