Watchers

Chapter 29

 “You know I still think this is a really bad idea, it is rare that I watcher goes into the forbidding falls and comes out alive” Noah told them as they stood in the waiting room ready to get transported to the fobbing falls, or at least near them.

“Stop worrying we will be alright we got the Guardian and the protector on our side and everyone knows how loyal they are to them” Roxie assured him they will be alright. 

They last thing they heard was Azamba telling them to head north. They now stood in front of a huge mountain covered with snow.

“That’s north” Jared informed them, pointing at the mountains.

“Are you sure?” Noah asked in disbelieve

“Am I ever wrong?” Jared answered positively

“We better not go over the mountain” Roxie told them and began making her way toward the mountain

“I have a feeling we will, cause I don’t know about you but I think that the Forbidding Falls is a waterfall and I don’t see any around here not even a lake” Lexi pointed out

“Noah are you just going to stay there?” Roxie asked him after realizing he hadn’t moved one step since they had gotten there

“Maybe” he still stared at the mountain in disbelieve

“Hurry up I think there is a siren behind the bush over there” Jared screamed. Without turning back Noah was standing by their side that was the fastest Lexi had seen him moved

“You were lying huh?” Noah asked Jared after seeing a smirk on his face

“Yup, your face was priceless” Jared kept on smiling

“We should hurry up if we want to make it over today” Roxie hurried them. As they approached the mountain the air seem to turn colder and colder with each step they took. Lexi felt so lucky she had changed into the watcher’s suit, since it came with a huge coat which kept her warm. At the base of the mountain she could feel her entire body tense she had goosebumps from the cold. She closed her coat and every once in a while she would shiver.

“So are we going to have to climb up or what?” Roxie asked.

“I guess so I don’t see other way up” Jared told her and began climbing. Lexi watch with close attention where it was that he step and pulled himself up. After she memorized the first few feet she began climbing up holding and stepping where she had seen Jared. She tried to reach to the next rock she was suppose to hold onto but her arm could not reach it, she was on her own now. She closed her eyes and took in a fresh cold breath. She opened her eyes and began looking around for a place to put her arm in to pull her up. When she looked up she could not see any of them any longer they were pass this part, she was in her own.  She saw a ledge that she could use closer than the one Jared had used but farther than she could reach the only way she would make it was throwing herself. She had to get it right the first time, or she would fall 15 feet down. She relaxed and concentrated in the ledge. She bended her knees a little and threw herself up and reached for the ledge. She made, as she tried to pull her entire body up her hand slip. She swung right and threw herself again. She reached for the ledge. This time she decided not pull her entire body on it; she continued to climb.

“I really thought you were going to fall down” Noah told Lexi as she made it past that and was over it, from now on it was just plain hill.

“You saw all of that?” she asked angered

“Yeah sort of” Noah acted innocently

“And you didn’t help me, for a second there I was so scared I thought I was going to fall down” she told them

“I wanted to, but Jared said to leave you to see what you will do” Noah told her

“It’s not like I was going to let you fall, it you slip I was going to go for you” Jared told her

“I did slip didn’t you see?” she remembered them

“But one hand was on the ledge” Jared informed her

“We should get going if we want to get out of this mountain today” Roxie told them. They all began walking upwards. They left tracks of where they had step. They snow was really deep it was just below Lexi’s knee.

“It is starting to snow” Noah informed them. They all turned up into the sky and saw snowflakes falling.

“Come on hurry” Jared began running. They all followed running as fast as the snow possibly let them. With every second the blizzard got worse and worse. They could hardly see 10 feet in front of them.

“Jared it’s too dangerous to be out here during this time, we should take cover” Roxie told him

“Fine then run to the cave over there” he changed his defection to a cave to their left. Lexi stopped running when she was a couple of steps away from the cave. She turned around and looked at the blizzard, before she entered the cave. All she could see was white snow falling and  the trees moving from left to right and from right to left. As she was about to turned when she felt something cold and wet had fallen on her. She laid under layers of snow.
