The Bitter Cold

Chapter 6: The Beast

                                                                   --Sierra--

I looked at the beast dead in the eye. It was the most terrifying thing I've ever seen. I was completely frozen in fear. It looked like a giant bear made of ice standing on its ind legs. It had ice horns coming out of its head, and ice shards where you would see bones. It teeth were the most frightening though. Unlike everything else of the beast being made of ice and snow, its mouth was flesh. Its teeth were about 6 feet long and sharp to the touch. It began to growl at us. It's eyes were completely white, and they stared deep into your soul. As it growled me and Jess began to step back. All of a sudden it stopped and started to sniff the air around it. "Wait" Jess whispered towards me, "I senses movement with it's eyes. If we don't move or move slow enough, he wont be able to see us." I looked at Jess and smiled. We would be ok! Suddenly Ty looked at us. I know he heard what Jess said. Suddenly, he started screaming and ran towards the throne room door. As he escaped the room the beast suddenly grabbed Jess and drew her closer to his mouth as he screamed. Oh no! I couldn't let this happen to Jess. I couldn't let this happen to my SISTER!! I reached into my pocket and picked out my trusty pocket knife. I always kept at least one weapon to protect my self with, and this was the perfect situation to use it. I began to run to edge of the room and jumped out the window. As I flew I began to to hold my knife in a comfortable position. The beast was turned around focused of Jess, so I was able to land on it's back. As I landed on the monsters back I thrust-ed my knife deep into it's icy spine. As I slid down the creature I jumped and grabbed it's elbow, and then began to hold on for dear life. The beast looked at me in anger and pain. I knew it was angry, but that wasn't going to stop me. As he began to get closer to me I jumped from his elbow and began to stab the beast in his eye. Out of pain he dropped Jess and threw his arm out to grab me. As I was locked in his grip I threw my pocket knife to Jess. As I neared the creature's sharp fangs Jess began to stab the beast's leg. The beast was done. He dropped me and took off in fear. We did it! I looked at Jess and we hugged. " How did you do that?" she questioned me excitedly," How could you climb that giant beast and destroy it?!" 

"I don't know" I giggled back, " I guess when I just saw you in danger I completely switched modes and went crazy" We all laughed, we were safe for now.

"I have an idea" Jess told me, "We should find some people and some shelter. After all it is freezing out here." 

"Here. Let's go to the school. I'm sure there will be people there." I said back. Together we began to trudge through the three feet of snow slowly making our way to the school while we froze. We were safe for now, but we knew we would still have many things to face........
