Changes

Prologue

We cowered at the bottom of the crevice. My friend was bleeding badly from her torn wing, a pool of blood gathering around her.

Above us the beast raged, sending snow flying in it's frenzy to find us.

Suddenly everything was quiet.

I didn't dare hope that it had lost interest. Not after it had followed us all the way here.

Then I heard a deal rumbling, almost like thunder. Or like wind blowing into a deep cave. In and out. In and out.

It was trying to sniff us out, I realized.

Heavy paw steps started heading towards the edge of the drop.

I pressed myself against my injured friend, covering her with my wing and trying to ignore her wheezing breath. We had to get out somehow. But she couldn't fly anymore, and there were no paths leading away.

The top of the high wall of ice, snow and rock started crumbling, bits of it coming lose and falling down as the beast came closer to the edge.

"It won't hold" a weak voice beside me croaked.

Turning I saw that my friend had managed to open her eyes. They were glazed over in pain, but stared at the falling ice and rocks with blank acceptance that scared me more than her silence.

"Don't say that. We'll make it ... Somehow." I said with more conviction than I felt.

I had no idea how we'd manage this. And I was scared. But I couldn't let her see that.

The little light that reached all the way into the crevice was suddenly cut of. Looking up I saw the huge silhouette of the beast outlined against the grey sky. It cut of all light, leaving us in total darkness.

But the absence of light just made it that much easier to see a big part of the cliff face come lose and start falling toward us with no hope for escape.
