coursing through her veins, she dodged one of the bears paws and went to go for the throat but she didn’t see the other one coming until it was too late. She was hurled back with a nasty gash on her shoulder, but the adrenaline kept her from feeling pain so she went in for another charge and managed to get a good hold on the bear’s ankle.
Dante slowly began to regain consciousness and as soon as he saw what was happening he jumped into the fight.
He attacked with more caution this time and with the help of a rock managed to get a hold of the bear’s neck. He tried to find the jugular so he could pierce it, but the bear was flailing around too much.
“Angel!” he yelled through the bear’s fur. “Find the big tendon on the heel and sever it!” Even though it was hard with the bear moving around trying to get them both off, Angel did as she was told.
It took her a little while to find it but once she did she bit down as hard as she could. She tasted blood in her mouth as she bit down harder and harder, finally severing the bear’s achilles heel. The bear roared in pain and fell to the ground making Dante smack into the ground along with it and lose his grip.
He quickly got back up and went for the bear’s neck again but with the bear flailing around at feeling helpless on the ground he couldn’t get to it. He sunk his teeth into the bears arm instead, hoping that he could at least restrain it a little.
“Angel! Quick! You’ve got to sever the jugular now!” he told her past the fur in his mouth once again.
“But,” she was about to protest.
“Don’t argue with me just do it! I can’t hold on much longer!” he yelled to her trying desperately to keep his grip on the bear.
Angel knew if she didn’t listen to her brother then they’d both end up dead, so she did as she was told. Even on the ground and with Dante biting into it’s arm, the bear put up a fight. Angel almost got slashed three times trying to reach the bears neck and one of those times could’ve been fatal, but she managed to get to the bear’s neck with nothing more than a few minor scratches.
She had to bite down even harder for the jugular, but once again she finally managed to sever it and she didn’t let go until she was sure it was dead. After she felt the violent dying tremble throughout the bear’s body, she dropped its neck on the ground and starred at it.
“We-we actually killed a bear. Just you and me,” she said in a mix of amazement and disbelief.
“Well, yeah. I mean its not like it was very old,” Dante replied while panting.
“Yeah but it still could’ve easily killed us,” she said. Just then they both heard a roar that sounded much like the bear's they had just killed, only louder and more blood chilling.
“We’ve got to get out of here!” Dante said quickly as soon as the roaring stopped.
“Are you crazy?! We’ll never survive out there in that blizzard!” Dante looked her in the eyes.
“Look! Would you rather go out there and have a chance of survival or stay here and face that bear’s mother?!” Dante asked his sister.
After hearing another roar Angel decided against staying in the cave.
“Dante! We need to find some shelter somewhere! The blizzards picking up!”
Angel yelled to her brother through the roaring wind and snow whipping by her.
“I know, but its not really all that easy to spot anything through all this snow!” Dante yelled back. He was struggling against the snow and wind of the blizzard, the fridged temperature of being out in this raging snow storm really not helping to move him along any faster either. He wasn't sure how much longer either of them would be able to stay out in this torrent of snow and wind and was beginning to think of just simply digging themselves a make shift cave in the snow, he knew however that with their small size and with it being in the middle of a blizzard, it had maybe at best a 50-50 chance of keeping them warm enough to see the light of the next day.
“Hey, how you holdin’ up?” he shouted to his sister, trying to be heard over the wind.
“I’m fine!” she assured him. In truth it was exactly the opposite. The wound she had gotten from the bear had hardened and was now infected and every time she put weight on it, it sent a fire down her entire leg. She didn’t want Dante to know that though because she feared if she told him that he’d be distracted from finding shelter for the two of them.
‘I can’t take going on like this much longer!’ she thought to herself.
“Hey Angel! I think I see something up ahead!” he yelled to his sister, racing off through the snow in the direction of what he’d spotted. In his excitement, he failed to notice that Angel wasn’t behind him any more.
As Dante got closer to what he had spotted it became clearer. It was another cave, smaller than the last one but just big enough for him and Angel to stay in. As he reached the entrance to it, he slowed his pace to sniff it. He was relieved to find no other animals scent on it. He walked inside and plopped down on the floor of the cave, exhausted.
“Angel, Angel—we—made it,” he said in between pants. When he realized that his was the only panting he could hear, he started to get a little worried. He got up and spun around.
Panic raced through him.
Where Angel should have been was nothing but cold air.
He ran back outside, “Angel! Angel where are you?!” he screamed. He looked at the ground. The snow was covering his tracks fast. He only had a little time to go find her or he would be lost in the blizzard too.
“Angel! Angel!” Dante yelled continuously. “Damn this weather!” he cursed under his breath. He had been searching for his sister for about five minutes, but to no avail. “No, no, no!” he started yelling as he saw that the tracks were almost completely covered by the snow.
He now had to make a huge choice. Either continue looking for his sister in this blizzard and almost certainly die trying, or go back and save his life and hope that some how Angel would be ok. He thought about it only for another minute or so because the tracks were disappearing quickly before he turned around, looked back, and quietly said, “I’m sorry,” and started off back to the cave, head slunk to the ground, hot tears dripping from his eyes, his heart torn in half again.
