The Abominable Snowman's icy breath breezed other the six children and his fangs were bared and ready to strike. His black, soulless eyes stared down at the six, as a lion would stare at a gazelle before striking.
Most of the kids were quivering with fear. Wynter just waved happily at the giant beast and smiled brightly. The others briefly forgot about the monster and turned to stare at the oblivious Wynter.
"Wynter, what in frost bites name are you doing?" Willow asked. Wynter turned to stare at her and stopped waving, but he continued to say nothing.
"Look out, everybody!" Taffyta shouted as the Snowman roared with such ferocity that it shook the very ground. Swinging his massive paws, he aimed for Wynter and lashed out. However, Witchy grabbed Wynter and shoved him to the ground just before he was struck.
Wynter's mouth was agape in surprise, and Witchy thought she could she a twinge of betrayal in his eyes, but she couldn't think of that now. The Abominable Snowman growled furiously and brought his fists down once more. Witchy once more pulled Wynter out of harms way.
"Let's get out of here!" Rancis shouted timorously and the other six children turned and started to flee. Or at least, they were trying to. The snow was up to there necks by now, and it took a minute for each of them to put one foot in front of the other.
Another bellow from the massive Snowman got the six to practically start digging through the snow to get further away from the behemoth. Licorice turned around to stare, but the dark sky and hail raining onto them blurred her vision. All she could make out was a dark figure that seemed to be moving closer.
"RRRAAAUUGGGH!" The Abominable Snowman roared and slammed his giant fist a few inches away from the kids, forming a hole in the snow. "Move it, move it!" Willow shouted urgently, shoving Wynter and Witchy forward.
However, the Abominable Snowman swung his fists at the six, and managed to strike Taffyta. The Strawberry girl went soaring towards the others and smashed right into them.
Rancis yelped. Licorice squeaked. Willow groaned in frustration. Wynter opened his mouth in shock, but nothing came out. Witchy just boxed Taffyta upside the head in anger. Immediately afterwards, the six lost balance and went crashing to the ground.
As the Snowman lumbered towards them, Willow started to get to her feet. Just at that moment, she slipped on the ice. It was then that she realized that they were standing on an icy hill.
Before anyone could say a thing, the six went tumbling down the hill. They started shouting and screaming with pain as they rolled violently down the icy and bumpy hill.
Willow looked up just in time to see the Abominable Snowman come barrelling down the hill as well, growling hungrily, his claws stained with tiny icicles and his breath fogging out of his mouth.
Screaming, Willow dragged herself faster down the hill, with the ice lying at the bottom of the snow boosting everybody's speed.
At the bottom of the snow, the snow had mostly vanished, and a large frozen river lay at the bottom. The moment the kids slid down the bottom of the hill, they slipped onto the icy river and slid across the river, screaming in surprise.
Willow was the first to come to a stop. As she looked up, she saw the Abominable Snowman. He too, had reached the bottom of the hill, and he was skating towards them, a look of hunger and ferocity on his face.
As the kids slowly came to a stop on the ice, the Snowman slip steadily towards them. It then came to a stop a few feet away and slowly lumbered towards them. It appeared to be grinning, and his fangs were gnashed.
Rancis, looking around, saw a sharp icicle, shaped like a sword lying on the river. Before the Snowman could react, Rancis dove towards it and grabbed it in his hand, before getting up and lunging towards the Snowman.
"Rancis, don't!" Willow shouted, but it was too late. Rancis aimed the icicle at the Yeti's furry leg, and stabbed at it.
There was a sound of ice smashing, and soon, shards of ice were sent flying in all directions. A small chunk scraped Witchy across the cheek while Licorice pushed Taffyta out of the way of a sharp icicle shard.
Rancis opened his eyes a bit, and his eyes widened even more when he saw that the icicle had totally smashed into pieces the moment it struck the Yeti. Timidly, he looked up to see the unimpressed Snowman staring down at him. The Yeti raised an eyebrow as if to say, "Is that the best you got?"
Before Rancis could flinch, the Yeti swung his massive paw and swatted him like a fly. Rancis soared through the air like a rag doll, and landed squarely in Taffyta's arms, knocking her to the ground. Rancis slipped out of her arms and lied on the ice river, unconscious.
"Rancis!" All of the Sugar Rush racers shouted in unison. The Yeti started lumbering towards the six again, and Willow was lying right in front of him, struggling to get to her feet on the slippery river.
"Willow, get out of there!" Witchy shouted. However, to everybody's amazement, the Yeti lumbered right past Willow, barely acknowledging her, and instead moved on to the rest of the kids.
"What the broomsticks?" Witchy said to herself before Licorice shouted, "Witchy, he's coming right for you!"
Witchy looked up to see the Yeti charging in her direction, roaring loudly.
"Oh no you don't!" Witchy shouted and stomped on the frozen river. Immediately, everybody slipped and started to crash to the ground as the icy river started to shake. Then, a crack formed from where Witchy had stomped, and it started expanding in the direction of the Yeti. The Snowman could only grunt in confusion before the ice broke from under him, and with a roar, he splashed into the water below the ice.
"Well that was easy," Witchy said. Just then, a paw splashed from above the water. "Never mind, let's get out of here!" She added before the kids raced off the river, Willow holding onto an unconscious Rancis.
The moment they were gone, the Snowman burst from under the water. As he crawled to shore, he stared in the direction the kids had left. He growled in disappointment and his black eyes narrowed in anger.
This wasn't over.
