World Of Shadows

Chapter 12: Fear

A chill ran down Sam's back, not because they were is a cold and deadly tundra, but he had that feeling. Every step the group took he kept glancing behind his shoulder looking for those pair of eyes which he saw. Sam was walking behind Baron while Holly and Frost rode on top of him. Every hour the snow seemed to get harsher and harsher. There was always a bit of calm in a storm and right now, that time was dwindling. Frost slid off Baron and walked next to Sam.

"Why are you walking so much, no one is following us!" Frost said.

"I just have that feeling you know? Better to be safe than sorry." Sam said.

"Well, need some company?"

"If you want," Sam said looking behind him. Holly looked behind her shoulder to see Sam and Frost walking together and she smiled but remained quiet, which for Holly, was a hard thing to do. Frost walked a few paces behind Sam, taking a quick look behind her. She almost screamed when she saw a pair of eyes pretty far away but following the trio. She shifted uneasily and took a blind shot in the eyes. She turned around and hurried up to Sam.

"I now get your uneasy feeling." She said looking behind her shoulder.

"Well, that's not good but not bad either," Sam said giving a slight smile. Frost walked right next to Sam and grabbed his hand. Sam looked down to see her squeezing his hand tightly. He looked at Frost who was slightly red and shivering. She lessened her grip but kept her hand in Sam's. Sam assumed she was nervous and while he hated to admit it, he was also nervous. He had this fuzzy feeling in his stomach and kept looking around. He again looked behind his shoulder and saw the eyes again. He rubbed his eyes with his free hand and the eyes disappeared.

"I swear I keep seeing these eyes following us!" Sam whispered so Holly wouldn't worry. His grip on Frost's hand tightened slightly causing her to turn a darker shade of red.

"You've seen them too!" Frost said. She began walking faster and onto Baron, forcing Sam to do the same.

"Holly, can you make Baron go faster?" Sam asked using his other hand to grab onto Jason's fur.

"I have been waiting for you to ask me that!" Holly jumped up and commanded Baron to run faster, which he did. Sam hated this so his grip on Frost's hand tightened. Frost turned even redder and looked away so Sam, or even worse Holly, wouldn't see. Of course, Holly already saw them holding hands, and was about to squeal until she saw Sam's hand let go. She looked at Sam who was covering his head with his hands.

"Is there something wrong Mister Sam?" Holly asked looking worried.

"I just have a headache don't worry," Sam replied giving a thumbs up. Holly asked Baron to slow down so Sam can lay down. He lays down still grabbing his head. After a couple of minutes, he passed out. Holly asked Baron to speed up a teeny bit so they can get out of the tundra as soon as possible, but also to allow Sam to sleep. Sam dreamt of demons and flames, causing him to move slightly on Baron. Frost saw this and rested her hand on his face. Sam took a few deep breaths and his dream changed to puppies and rainbows. He also dreamt of tacos. Holly looks at Frost and gave a sly smile.

"So you DO like him!" Holly said pointing a finger at her.

"No way would you think that!" Frost said taking her handoff. She turned slightly red.

"I saw you holding hands with your boyfriend!"

"We were scared it was a sensible thing to do!"

"Scared of snow? Yeah right!" Holly laughed and made kissing faces while Frost grabbed some snow. Frost threw it at Holly who was still making kissing noises.

"Ugh, my God! What will get you to shut up!" Frost yelled.

"Kiss him then I'll shut up! Do it you won't!" Holly taunted. Here is the thing about Frost, she NEVER denies a challenge. She took a small breath and kissed Sam. Holly gasped and squealed. Right when Frost was about to stop, Sam woke up. He tried to speak but then realized what was happening. When Frost stopped kissing, she looked at Holly.

"There! Now shut up!" Frost said turning red. Frost looked at Sam and realized his eyes were open. She immediately began to stutter and bury her head in her hands.

"Holly, never say this word but, what the fuck did you do?" Sam asked crossing his arms.

"Hey, I never expected her to actually kiss you! I just told her if you want me to keep quiet, kiss him." Holly said giggling.

"Again why did you want this?"

"Cuz I'm a kid! I wanna see you two together. I will become the Cupid arrow and get you two together!" Holly said giving small jazz hands.

"Good luck! I hope you succeed." Sam said thinking there was nothing wrong with a certain set of words he chose to speak in the English language.

"SO YOU LIKE MISS TOO!!" Holly yelled making everyone go whatever is past deaf. Frost popped her head up to listen to this conversation better.

"When did I ever say that?"

"You said you hoped that I get you and Miss together!" Holly looked right into his eyes and smiled. Sam just facepalmed and lightly shoved Holly away. He turned over to Frost who was extremely red.

"Hey it's alright, I don't mind," Sam said giving a smile.

"Really?" Frost asked.

"Yeah!" Sam leaned over to whisper something in Frost's ear. "Maybe Holly will succeed."

"M-maybe." Frost turned a little red and watched Sam talk to Holly.

"Maybe we will," Frost whispered to herself smiling.
