Chapter 5

Cody tried opening the passenger's side door, but to no avail. The car was buried in the snow.

He turned off the engine and used his suitcase to chip away at the lingering shards of glass that hung in the driver's side windows like icicles.

After clawing away at the snow, he successfully dug his way out, bringing both suitcases with him.

He looked up at a gap that went on for approximately thirty meters or so. It was a significant drop, but the fall he took in the car had felt like even more.

They had not gone off a cliff as Eric thought. Instead, they had fallen into an icy ditch that appeared to be home to some sort of cavern-like structure.

His surroundings were surreal.

The icicles on the roof of the cave carried with them a light purplish shade. Further down was a large pond that did not look quite frozen, the water a perfect shade of blue.

He set down the suitcases and opened them both up. After shifting through a pair of spare shirts, he managed to locate Eric's address book. He scrolled through the names until he reached Rachel. He tore the piece of paper off and put it in his pocket.

Since there were no other valuables in Eric's suitcase, Cody zipped it back up and left it there. One suitcase was burdensome enough.

The walls of the cave were covered in a thick layer of ice, which made him feel like he was inside a large glacier.

Climbing up the way he came down there was not an option. Even if he left his suitcase behind, there was absolutely nothing to grab onto along the icy walls.

He started walking toward the pond, hoping to find a way out. His neck was stiff, and he knew it would feel even worse the next day.

On the other side of the pond was a large gap in the wall. With no other outlets, he would have to find a way to get across.

The water seemed frozen in only in certain parts of the pond. The average ice block on the pond was about three three yards wide and one yard long, big enough for him to step onto. If he followed the pattern, he could use the ice blocks as steps to get across.

He set his suitcase on one of the ice blocks to test its durability. He pressed down on it firmly, and fortunately for him, it held its ground.

The next step was to hoist himself up onto the ice block, and that's exactly what he did.

After steadying himself on the frigid ice block, he cautiously stood up and picked up his suitcase.

He stepped onto the next block of ice, which was about half a yard in front of him. He took a wide step forward and planted his left shoe onto the frozen step. Once he established his balance, he swung the right side of his body forward to complete the step.

The next step was nearly three yards away. He was going to have to jump.
