Axel

It was shining bright when they spotted the Polar's . There was two adult Polar's straight ahead of them. The Maraes spotted the Polar before the animals spotted them. There was a shot at them , it was Axel. The Polar was badly wounded, though not yet dead. It whimpered in pain. The other Polar came charging at them , who was shot by Willy. This time it was a clean hit. The Polar lay dead on its tracks. Axel went closer to the Polar which was losing a lot of blood. He shot it right through its head. Myrkin came in with his jeep to the top. " Two of em, should last us a month, he said" and picked up the Polar. Seeing his struggle, Axel and Willy went and reached out their hands for help. This is one heavy Polar, commented Myrkin. They carried one polar to the back of the jeep and put it there. Willy looked at her watch. "00.30 , it read". Axel looked at her, she nodded suggesting there was time left. Axel looked at his feet, he could not take another frostbite. Axel had already lost his left toe. Losing another toe would simply curb his movement further till he drew his last breath. There was a mechanic leg , but there was no possibility of a mechanic leg. And he certainly did not think about the option of cutting his leg off. " Hold it stiff, shouted Myrkin to Axel. Axel came back to his senses and lifted the Polar up. They loaded the second one too in the jeep. Myrking got into the jeep. Axel stayed out to keep a watch until the Jeep swiveled to the same direction from which they came from. Willy was on her mobile and ready to head back home. " What they had not realized was that a Polar was watching them from above, sitting silently on a rock. It leaped and fell on Axel. " Axel shouted Willy! and took her gun out and shot the Polar many times. It bled profusely and was dead in a few seconds. Axel ! Axel she shouted and tried to move the body away. Myrkin ran from the jeep and tried his best to push the Polar away from the body of Axel. The body did not budge and no matter how hard they tried , the Polar would simply not budge. Willy looked at her clock, it read."00.10" Willy had tears in her eyes. Myrkin looked at her and she nodded suggesting that there was not much time left. The Sunlight was slowly dimming. " Push harder, she shouted to Myrkin". Myrkin used all his strength, as Willy grunted in pain. " What sort of god would do this" she shouted looking at the now gloomy sky. There was a lightning strike on the peak next to theirs. " We are not scared of you" she shouted again. This time there was a lightning strike on the jeep. Myrkin ran to the jeep to see, if the strike had fired his system. He ran back and pushed the Polar again, this time it budged a little bit. You could see the legs of Axel now. " Please god, save my brother , pleaded Willy" There was a lightning strike. This time it landed directly on the polar. Causing the fly away meters apart from each other.

"Willy! Willy! Myrkin tried waking her up. He went and got a bottle of water from the jeep and sprayed it on her face. He sprinkled the water on her face. She slowly opened her face. Wake up! said Myrkin. She slowly got up and saw her surroundings. The snow had started to fall on. She looked at her watch."00.00" it read. The Polar was thrown to the side and there lay Axel unconscious. Myrkin went and picked him up. He put Axel on the jeep and Willy got her mobile and sped away. Myrkin followed her closely. As he was driving he checked on the co-passenger if he was alive. He was fairly confident that Axel was going to make it as he had picked up a pulse when he picked him up. His body was compressed a bit, his eyelids were bulging and his cheekd were puffed up. Myrkin check his arms and they too were twisted inside out. "Is he alive? asked Willy on the walkie talkie" Yes, replied Myrkin. But we need to hurry, he needs immediate medical attention. Willy turned up the gears and Myrkin too Sped as fast he could. His foot was completely on the pedal. " One of the Polar fell down , as the jeep flew a few mwters from the ground because of a small bump. " Don't bother , we can pick it up tomorrow, said the voice of Willy through the walkie talkie. Myrkin did not even bother looking back, his eyes were firmly locked on Axel and the path ahead. The mobile first sped on to the garage., And the jeep soon after.

Myrkin picked up the body of Axel and ran inside the house. He put the body in the care room. Willie had gone to call "Grogan". He was a very good Dcotor. Grogan came rushing in , went through the cupboard and picked up the things he needed to revive Axel back to life. " Will he live" asked a teary eyed Willy. I don't know was the reply of Grogan. "He better live, said Myrkin as he pushed some things aside. Calm down! said Grogan afraid that the adrenaline rush of Myrkin would get the better of him. Myrkin burst out of the room and smashed his hand against some things on the way out. Keep an eye on him, said Grogan to Willy. WIlly looked at her brother! You are of no help here, said Grogan. She wiped her tears and went outside the care room!
