Chapter 6 (Walker)
The storm rolled in fast and strong, nearly taking us by surprise but thankfully, we made it back to the cabin just in time. âWe need to secure the door and windows,â I said. âThereâs some nails and a hammer on the workbench.â She fetched them for me and I set to work nailing the planks across the door and windows. âThere. That should do it.â
Not more than a minute later, the wind came howling. It thrashed against the side of the cabin, trying to pull it apart in pieces but I had built my home to last and in ten years, there had never been a storm that bested her.
âDamn, Iâve never seen a storm like this before,â Kayla shouted over the thunder. Lightning flashed followed by a shower of embers. I heard the crack of a falling tree. A domino effect followed. The Gods were coming out to play tonight. âAre you sure that this cabin can withstand these winds?â The rain came down in buckets, pelting against the windows but the inside of my cabin was bone dry.
I added wood to the fire and wrapped a blanket around Kaylaâs shoulders. I could tell that she was frightened so I held her in my arms, keeping her cocooned and safe. She wiggled her toes against the fur carpet I kept by the fire. âYou have nothing to worry about,â I said in those few seconds where the thunder had quieted. âThe storms have a way of getting violent out here. Thatâs why they call it Mt. Olympus. The Gods like to settle their scores upon this mountain.â The cabin shook but stood firm as I knew she would. Kayla recoiled into me and I squeezed her tight. âI promise,â I whispered softly, âyouâre safe here.â
âWalker?â
âYes?â I sensed concern in her voice and in the way her body had suddenly become rigid. âWhat about the park rangers? The search and rescue that was supposed to find the others? They canât make it out here now, can they?â
âIâm afraid not,â I answered, sorry to disappoint her. âAt least not until the storm passes.â
âWell, Iâm sure the girls are okay now that I think about it. Nevada has done this hundreds of times. Iâm sure she has an emergency plan or something.â She was thinking out loud but I didnât stop her. âI mean, it would be stupid not to. Youâre bound to meet a bear sooner or later. Iâm sure Ellaâs fine and Layla, too.â She pulled at the loose end of the blanket. âAnd the search and rescue will show up sooner or later, right?â
âIâm sorry we couldnât get you back to the campsite sooner,â I said. âI know you have got to be worried. You donât have to pretend otherwise for my sake.â
âNo, no, itâs absolutely fine. You were probably right about my head injury and all that. I probably would have injured myself further. You really saved me from myself.â Her fingers found the back of my hand, lightly tracing some of my scars.
