PART FOUR
GEORGIE
Vektalâs out checking traps and getting me some Not-Hoth breakfast. Since Iâm stuck at the cave, I decide that today Iâm going to leave with the blankets instead of abandoning them here at the cave like we did last time. Vektal has already indicated that he wants me to be ultra-bundled when we leave, and since weâre heading up the mountain, I want blankets for the other girls. The only way thatâs going to work is if I can wear them.
So Iâm busy slicing makeshift ties out of the lining of my jacket and poking holes through the edge of one of the furs with my knife to make it a cloak. Iâm not much for sewing, especially with these terrible supplies, but itâs something to do while I wait on Vektal to return. Iâm testing my second âcloakâ when Vektal rushes back to the cave, his glowy-eyes frantic.
I get up, alarmed. âWhat is it?â
He grabs me and pulls me against his chest, stroking my hair. Heâs breathing hard, and this might be the first time Iâve heard him winded. Normally nothing fazes him.
But right now? Heâs rattled. And that makes me scared. âVektal?â
He cups my cheek and gazes into my face. Then, he peers into my eyes. Puts a hand to my forehead, then to my breast. Asks a question I canât make out.
I frown and shake my head. âIâm fine? Whatâs going on?â
âGeorgie,â he says and then utters something else that Iâm pretty sure is âCome with me.â
I put on the heavy furs, and he nods, helping me bundle up. When every inch of me is covered in shaggy hides and Iâm practically sweating, he tugs me onto his back and out into the snow we go.
Itâs a lot warmer this way, and Iâm rather enjoying the snowy weather as Vektal does the hard work, tromping through the deep snow. The two sickly-pale suns are out, and the world looks rather beautiful right now. Like a snowy paradise.
Iâm so busy admiring my surroundings that I donât notice Vektal has stopped until he nudges my arm and then gestures at the snow.
Thereâs something in the drifts.
Somehow, I donât think this is a hunting kill. My stomach churns sickly, and I slide off his back. Holding my furs against my body, I move forward and brush a bit of the snow aside.
Itâs a face. Human. Red hair. Her eyes are open and frozen.
I gasp. Dominique. Her clothing is ragged and dirty, and itâs clear from the tinge of her skin that sheâs been out here for a while. Sheâs frozen through and through. A sob escapes me, and I look at Vektal.
He points at the girl, his eyes pale as if with shock. âGeorgie?â
âNo, Iâm Georgie,â I say then point at her. âThatâs Dominique.â Then I try to teach him the word âhumanâ by spreading my five fingers. I canât stop sniffling. What is she doing here? Did they send her after me? Another sob catches my throat. âVektal, we have to go up the mountain.
