[font="Garamond"][size="2"]Phil gave a casual shrug, [b]â??Well look on the bright side Ally, at least the heat is stiâ?¦.â?[/b] before the sentence was finished the lights in the Snowcat flickered out. Even with the darkness Phil could see the fire in Allyâ??s eyes. [b]â??Before you get mad at me for jinxing it, Iâ??d like to point out that whatever it was probably just overheard me.â?[/b]
[b]â??That doesnâ??t make it any better Philip!â?[/b] today wasnâ??t going the way she planned it. This cold was a lot colder than any cold she had experienced. Instead of wearing the cute rhinestone leather jacket she had this brown atrocity (which she liked more and more the colder she got) now we were being threatened by some ghostly jerk two minutes from the crack.
Cowboy stepped to the door,[b] â??alright folks what do we have out there?â? [/b]
[b]
â??Itâ??s a poltergeist Cowboy,â?[/b] Eun Jung stated, [b]â??there is only this one fiddling with the Snowcat but I cant tell if what we will run into along the way to the crack.â?[/b]
[b]â??I can take us down a safe path once we are outside guys, I can feel everything from here to the crack pretty clearly.â?[/b] Ally looked at Cowboy hopefully, and he eventually nodded.
Cowboy grasped the manual release handle on the side of the Snowcat,[b] â??before we head on out of here, does anyone know how we can rid ourselves of our new friend?â?
[/b]
The group glanced at each other then shook their heads.
[b]â??We need a body to burn,â?[/b] Phil grunted uneasily [b]â??with the crack releasing ghosts from the other realm, this is no longer a simple matter of severing ties to the mortal world.â?[/b]
Cowboy sighed,[b] â??looks like we are going to have to avoid it then. Remember that Poltergeists feed of your energy, so keep your hat on when things start movingâ?¦ we donâ??t want it to get strong enough to grab one of us.â?[/b]
[b]â??Or worse,â?[/b] Phil smiled,[b] â??damage the Snowcat!â?[/b] the joke got a chuckle from Ally, but everyone else was focused on the task ahead. Cowboy yanked the handle, immediately letting in freezing cold wind. The Snowcat began to shake as they stepped out, but the team quickly exited the vehicle without issue.
Ally was last out, when she turned around to shut the door her arm was grasped by the poltergeist, she knew not to lose control of herself but there was a treble in her voice when she spoke [b]â??Guys! I... it grabbed me, its got my arm!â?[/b] Blu rushed to the door but with the sudden shift in the groups emotional state to worried, the poltergeist yanked Ally back into the Snowcat and slammed the door shut.
Blu pulled the handle to no avail. [b]â??Donâ??t worry, just keep calm and she will be fineâ?[/b] Cowboy said, giving the handle a strong pull, slowly opening it.
[b]â??Blu, Eun Jung , get on the other side of the hatch and make sure it doesnâ??t close!â?[/b] Phil exclaimed as he and Cowboy entered the Snowcat. Phil stepped inside and noticed the ghostly field holding Ally to the ceiling. [b]â??Cowboy, its got her pinned to the roof.â? [/b]
[b]â??Sooorry guys!â? [/b]Ally apologized while spinning slowly in circles on ceiling, [b]â??I guess it doesnâ??t like me very much.â?[/b]
The seat-belt straps snapped off of there seats, then soared across the area, the two P.I.T. veterans ducked behind the passenger seats to avoid them. [b]â??On the contrary Ally, This one likes you so much it doesnâ??t want to give you upâ? [/b]Ally laughed, but the spinning hastened and she bumped her head on a light fixture."
[b]â??Just stay calm miss Harperâ? Cowboy implored, â??we will get you down.â?[/b]
[b]
â??No worries Cowboy, Iâ??m cool as a cucumber. The only thing Iâ??m afraid of is loosing my lunch on your jacket.â?[/b][/size][/font]
