Chapter Two – A Cold Journey

Raskin, Rasco and Rook woke up, it was a cold windy morning. They got up, collected their things and walked to the mouth of the tunnel. They walked outside slowly and heard a slight rumble… “THE GORM!” Screamed Rasco. The Gorm was coming, it had found the tunnel. It stood before the mouth. Unexpectedly, rocks began falling. Collapsing the mouth of the tunnel, blocking the Gorm’s way. They looked surprised. Raskin grabbed the knife and walked to a tree. The knife **** through like butter. The tree fell onto the tunnel blocking it even more. Rasco looked around in thought.

 

She took out the map. Their plan was to get to Ravenwood Warren, they had to go through Grimheart Grove and climb Cranberry Cliffs then they’re there. They started the cold journey.

“That’s a weird looking crow?”Questioned Raskin. Then, Rasco figured it out. It was one of the Gorm’s!

 

They ran, Raskin armed with the knife in hand and sack on back and Rasco with Rook in a pouch in the map. Finally, they entered Grimheart Grove. The crow could no longer see them, there was a roof of trees.

 

Rook tucked himself further in the pouch, with only his ears poking out, it was so dark. Outside, Raskin looked fearless but inside he was really terrified. Then, Rasco heard something. It was just a tree luckily, or was it just Rook shivering and screaming for food? At this point she had no idea. Raskin could see the light.

It was Cranberry Cliffs! They were so close. They just needed to climb the mountain… They regretted everything, only two steps up. They kept going, forcing themselves to keep moving. Two steps from the door. Finally.

 

They knocked loudly. It was Lady Black, the chieftains wife! She let them in. She gave them food without a word. It was like she was expecting them. Something was wrong. Rook heard a crow and went “Caw, caw.” Raskin and Rasco found something out. Ravenwood was working with the Gorm! The crow left. They were surprised it wasn’t a Raven. They needed to escape.
