Winter's Palisade Chapter 6
#6 of Winter's Palisasde
A very short chapter. Sorry to the readers who have been waiting,got a HUGE case of writers block,coupled with extra work from school for EOC testing,I haven't had a lot of spare time for writing. Nevertheless,thanks for waiting so long for me :)
I both scoffed and smiled at that leopard. His attitude against his situation just made me smile. I don't know why. He's just so strong,emotionally and physically.
As I look down to my stomach,I try to move my hand,thinking the bleeding had stopped. I was wrong,however,as a fresh stream of crimson began slowly flowing from my bite wound. I quickly move my hand and apply pressure,hoping to try to survive a little longer in this frozen prison.
Looking around my castle of ice,my eyes move to the opening that I had crawled in from. I worry that a few stray pack members might accidentally stumble upon my little cave,which would spell death for me. Rolling over on my stomach,I start to crawl over to a more secluded spot,so if anything came in the cave couldn't find me and hurt me. Then again,if Matt or Andrew came by,they wouldn't be able to see me either.
I mentally weigh my options and then decide to remain in my former spot. I crawl back to the wall facing the hole,then prop myself up against the wall. Looking at the streak of red I had just made in the snow,I wince. I was hurt badly,If no one came soon.
No,I couldn't start to think like that. Matt or Andrew is going to get help,I'm not going to..
My speech is interrupted by me being wracked with coughs,my paw instinctivly going to my muzzle. Every cough sends a flash of pain and anguish through my already hurting body. After the fit,I sigh and throw my hands on the ground beside me. Looking at my paw,I see blood in the palm.
"Please get here soon Matt"
