“The night was quiet — too quiet. As the seconds ticked by, Tom wondered what Tartok could be planning. Fingering the handle of his sword, Tom exchanged looks with Brendan and Elenna. If the Beast attacked, it would be up to them to defend the camp. Then there was a loud, sharp crack. Tom bolted upright, his sword drawn. The ground began to shake violently. Tom was thrown to the ground as a thunderous crash rang out — the ice over the bay was splitting apart! The howl came again, this time much ...closer. Tom scrambled to his feet and saw the icy mountain shaking violently, its top beginning to splinter. “Take shelter!” he yelled. “Quick, over here!” Elenna called out from the entrance to Brendan’s tent. Tom dove under the heavy canvas tarp with the others as shards of ice fell from the sky. They were surrounded by terrible sounds — shattering, smashing, snapping — and the roar of cracking ice. And above it all was the bloodcurdling howl of the monster. Then, as suddenly as it began, everything stopped, and there was silence over the ice once again.MoreLessRead More Read Less
