The Girl and Polar Bear

Chapter 4 - Its Time To Go Back

I have to go back. I have to go back. I have to go back Kara thought quietly to herself. I saw something white and fluffy at the top of that mountain yesterday. She was laying in a quilted blanket on the small sofa by the flickering fire. She was still surprised from yesterday as she had collapsed in the snow. Luckily kara's dad had found her and brought her in , he was starting to get worried about her illness but he used "you shouldn't have gone out in the first place" to cover up his concern. Then the rest of that day and half of today Kara had just been laying down and dreaming about the white figure. She hadn't eaten anything in days and just kept dreaming about they mysterious figure.

It was 9:00am and Daniel was getting ready. He seemed to be in a hurry. As he came frantically down the stairs in a rush Kara asked: "where are you going Dan?" 
"I've got a starter job today"Daniel said in a voice that made Kara feel like she should know.
"What's the job"coughed Kara.
"Snow clearer"said Daniel , "I have to clear all the snow off the paths and I'm late!"he screeched.
"Ok"mumbled Kara , "Is dad upstairs?"I feel like I haven't seen him much"asked Kara.
"No sorry he had to go to work early but he said tonight will be our first proper meal together in our new home, he's preparing a lovely dinner , so don't worry!"
"Ok"replied Kara , not really saying much.
"But dad said you should stay and rest , it's...well...best for your illness at the moment"Daniel explained.
"I will"Kara pronounced.
Bang! And Daniel slapped the door as he left the lonely house. Kara sat up for a moment and thought. You know I can't , I can't , I can't sit here all day and with that she gathered her snow gear (hat,coat etc) and was out in a flick. Although she made sure her brother was far enough away so he couldn't see her.

She had stumbled through the snow and didn't feel ill at all. "Maybe I am better"Kara said. She was at the mountain she had seen before in her journeys . She was desperate to find out what that figure was... So she attempted to climb the crocked rocks and first slipped and cut her hand raw open but it wasn't to bad and Kara kept climbing. Until finally through pain and lots of struggle she had made it to the top. She didn't know how to get down but she wasn't thinking that far ahead.

She heard a nose. Like an animal. What could it be? There was a small cave on the mountain and Kara knew what ever the white figure was it was in that cave. Kara took three deep breaths and peered into the cave. "Ahhhhh"....
