Viviana staggered in the snow, her feet catching on an unseen rock. They had been walking towards the pass all day and Christian had barely said a word to her, barely acknowledged her presence. Sometimes when she was walking ahead she would feel his eyes upon her, she had fallen asleep after lunch, a chicken stolen from a local barn and roasted over a makeshift campfire, and when she awoke she had found him standing over her, but apart from brief exchanges about directions they journeyed in silence. The air grew thinner as they climbed. For the last few hours it had been snowing heavily and Viviana could feel her fingers and toes sliding into a deadly numbness.
“We’re not going to make it over the pass.” She shouted to him over the blizzard. “The snow is too strong, I can’t see the path. We’re going to end up falling down a canyon or lost with frostbite. We should head back to that last lodge and wait it out for a few days.”
That afternoon they had passed a lodge just below the treeline where the scrubby forest gave way to bare mountain top. Viviana had traded her fine antique necklace, a locket with a picture of her mother and father painted in miniature inside, for some thick furs they could wear to cross the treacherous pass. She was certain the necklace was worth far more than the old hides, maybe the owner would put them up with food and board for a few days in return for her generosity.
Christian brought his face close to hers, making sure he could be heard over the noise of the wind and the thick furs Viviana wore over her ears. “If we wait a few days the pass will close and we’ll be stuck on this side until the spring.” Said Christian. “How long is the owner of that lodge going to hide us before he starts talking? If we want to avoid being caught by Bates and his men we need to get over that pass tonight.”
Viviana said nothing, the light was fading fast and the white of the icy cliffs illuminated everything, creating a gloomy drawn-out twilight, she could feel the ghosts of all the travellers who had died in the pass swirling around her in the blizzard. The snow stung her eyes as it whipped into her face, half blinding her, there was no way they could carry on.
“Christian listen to me. If we carry on walking in this weather we’re both going to die tonight. This isn’t a stroll through the fields of The Vale, this is a mountain top, there are cliffs on both sides of us, and we need to wait for the blizzard to stop.” She paused hoping her point would sink in. “What use are you to the rebellion as a frozen corpse in the bottom of some ravine?” She said.
“Fine.” Said Christian. He walked over to a snow drift and began hacking at it viciously with his stick.
