“Ash! Ash!”

The world swam back into focus. I could see concerned faces peering down at me. The hiking leaders. Sarah and Alex.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

I tried to open my mouth to reply, then let out an involuntary moan as my lips cracked.

“I’m fine,” I mumbled, tasting blood.

Numbly, I managed to pull myself into a sitting position. I stared at my hands. My knuckles had split open, blood seeping through the cracks.

“Can you get up?”

I was so tired, my legs felt like dead weights, but I was unhurt. By sheer force of will, I managed to pull myself out of the snowdrift.

“You must be freezing.”

“Can you walk? There’s a blizzard forecast. We have to get down as fast as possible.”

I nodded mechanically, forcing my legs into motion. I barely heard the voices around me as I walked, stumbling on rocks. My brain seemed to have frozen along with my body.

It wasn’t until I was back in the minibus, absently clutching a blanket someone had given me, that I allowed the most pressing thought to enter my mind. I won.

I’d beaten the shadow-beast. How, I wouldn’t think about. I’d save that for next week’s meeting. For now, I was just going to concentrate on the victory. After all, how many people could say they’d climbed the highest peak in England and defeated a giant shadow-creature in their first few weeks of university?

However, I couldn’t help noticing David was avoiding my eye. When the others had come back to me, David had been nowhere in sight. Had he known about the monster? Or was I overthinking things again?

Was I afraid to think he might have been involved?

The creature being there could hardly be coincidence. Who had summoned it?
