Winter's Palisade Chapter 4
#4 of Winter's Palisasde
Newest chapter of WP.
Nick remembers the beginning of his vacation,And how he had ended up in his mess :(
A generally short chapter,I didn't have a ton of writing time this week,Should have a lot more this weekend.
I smiled at that thought,Even in my current spot,Underneath some massive Winter Pine,I'm smiling like a little kid when I think about that day. Glancing towards the creamy sun in the sky,Turning a light pink and orange color,I realize it must be getting late.
What am I going to do out here at night? I ask myself in my mind. This tree was still on my arm,And Matt was no where to be seen,Looking up towards the large hill,Now missing a chunk of barrier,I couldn't see any marks or prints that would suggest Matt is around. The other driver is no where to be seen either,So I need to focus on myself for now. Tugging on my arm,I wince in pain,It must be broken.
Trying harder,I push with my other arm on the tree,But not pushing a single inch on the heavy lumber.
Shivering,With my other arm I tug my jacket over my face and tuck my muzzle in. Looking into the dark,warm area of my chest,I quickly settle into a light slumber,Thinking as I do.
_Matt never saw the other truck coming,He was too busy kissing me. He had joked that morning that he was bad for me,Oh the Irony._I thought glumly to myself. It was bad. Matt jerked the wheel to the right trying to miss the other vehicle,Whicn only made us rear end them and flip over the hill,They must of crashed somewhere else,But not near here. He'd caught a few seconds of the other driver. He was a Fur,Maybe a canine.
I thought harder,Because thinking about anything else kept his mind of his bleak situation.
Spots,I remember him having spots. Perhaps it was somekind of cat. Or..
A snow leopard! That was it,I smiled at solving the little mental puzzle I had made for myself.
I hope he's ok,I couldn't stand if we hurt him. My thoughts shifted to Matt,I was sure they were in the car together when we crashed,I remember clutching on to him for dear life. I'd blacked out when we'd crashed,And when I awoke,Matt was gone.
Maybe he went to get help,That was probably it,He'll be fine,We'll all be fine.
The combined chilling cold and body heat radiating into my face was enough to make me sleep. Tempature has a heavy effect on me sleeping or not,I love sleeping during cold weather,But just not this much.
I chuckle,Hoping Matt's ok,As I fall into an uneasy sleep...
