intense apathy

We’re assuming Glen’s being held against her will, and we’re expecting the worst, which I hope isn’t death. I wish Scott would’ve told us we’d be climbing a mountain. On our way over, the rain clouds burst, pouring down its rage. And being this high up, it’s freezing cold.

We make it to a plateau of the alp and Scott stops, scanning the area. The heavy wind and massive downpour whip my hair around my head, causing wet, icy cold strands to smack me in the face. I take the elastic from Nathan’s wrist and pull up my hair. It’s hard to see while I’m battling my hair and the rain.

None of us are prepared for the cold weather, but I’m the only one dying from the raining ice. We tread along the rocky ledge about a mile from the top and way too far from the bottom for me to look down. I trail behind Olar with Nathan at my back. He keeps his free hand on my waist, and I keep mine on the wall of the rock as we creep along the edge. The water from the rain rushing down the mountain’s side shoves me downward. Like, how great would it be if I slip and fall, and roll down this rocky beast of a mountain? On the brighter side, if I die, I won’t have to worry about Roehl anymore.

Nathan’s grip on my side tightens. Scott jumps from this edge down to one wider. Olar follows, and before I can consider it, we’re jumping. The rush is immediate. My heart hammers in my chest from the mix of adrenaline and panic. My legs are jelly as I try to calm down, but I don’t have time to as Nathan hurries me to follow. At least, down here, the rain isn’t as bad with the high cliff above us serving as an umbrella. That’s until the wind blows and smacks me with waves of freezing rain.

Nathan wraps his arms around my shoulders. The warmth is minimal, but almost enough. “Thanks,” I say through chattering teeth. The heat is short-lived when Scott stops, attention drawn to something out of my view.

Nathan leaves to his side, and they stare into the mountain. A dark, daunting hole stares back at them, warning, ‘do not come near my entrance, death lies within my darkness.’ But their Burdened minds likely interpret this warning as, ‘come, oh Burdened ones, let us rival in the night as you wander through my crevasses.’Someone’s going to dumbly suggest going in there.

We need to go in there, Scott says, kick-starting boulders rolling in my stomach.

I don’t know, Scott. We can’t see in there, Olar says. I agree. I don’t want to go in there.

Tracey can. Scott volunteers my services. Looking to Nathan, he continues, She can guide us through.

He cannot be serious. Bug-eyed and mortified, I shake my head.

Are you comfortable with that? Nathan asks me solo. I can tell by the distance his voice sounds in my head.
