Chapter 8

My body locked up as the air whistled past my head. Vaguely, I felt Evangeline grab my hands and pull my arms up so they were straight. Then impact. My fists smashed through ice and I felt the surface give under my weight. Razors slashed at my hands and skin before icy water enveloped me.

Fuck the cold water, my mind was still up on the cliff edge. The god damned fucking high, high cliff edge.

Evangeline had ideas other than becoming mindless with fear. She kicked her legs and kept her hands in mine. At first I was unable to move and so we sank further into the freezing water. My hands went lax, but she didn’t let me go. Her grip tightened and she yanked me a few times before a slow moving knee connected with my groin.

My eyes stung and the muted pain was enough to snap me back into myself. I was no longer falling to my death from a height, it was done, we were in water and we would drown trapped under the ice if we didn’t move. My woodland goddess would die in the crushing dark if I didn’t move. With a powerful kick of my legs I followed her lead and we both kicked up.

I briefly felt awe as I remembered Evangeline had pulled my unconscious and water logged Wendigo out of the water the night before. Even in beast form that had to have been difficult.

By the time we broke the surface my limbs were stiff and uncoordinated. I trembled so hard the still waters thrashed as if rapids. Not from the cold; from the aftershock of fear. We both used our fingernails to scratch at the ice. Luckily it was was thin and so the surface was not out of reach. Soaking wet, we panted and groaned as we felt our shredded arms stinging. Being human sucked. As a Wendigo I would have healed by now.

Evangeline was already up and stalking over to me. Up on my knees I opened my arms to her with a smile, seeking comfort.

Her left fist connected with my jaw and I flew backward and smacked my head hard.

Looking up at the clear blue sky in wonder, I tracked the little sparkles with my eyes and wondered why I had never noticed them before. Ah, right. I was ‘seeing stars’. Lurching up I steadied myself. I froze. There was a sodden heap of clothes on the ground before me. Even as I stared, a wet jumper smacked me in the face. I dragged it off and my gaze wandered until I came across huge feet, bare legs, ample hips, a flat stomach, and perky tits. I sucked in a breath when I reached Evangeline’s face. Her body glistened damply and she wrung out her hair then shook it wildly.

“What –” my voice was a rasp so I swallowed loudly and tried again. “What are you doing?”

She glared at me, unconcerned with her nakedness. I watched her back and her nipples hardened.
