The Fowlers’ hike brought them halfway up the mountain in no time as they chatted and laughed away at jokes. There was a quaint-looking hut on the mountain. It was surrounded by a fence that was full of dried vines, which seemed to have grown all over the fence during spring and summer. It would make for a magnificent view when spring came and the flowers bloomed.
The cobblestones that paved the lane looked disorderly at first glance, but they were pretty nonetheless. Meanwhile, Juniper seemed to enjoy herself while prancing on the stone-paved lane. “Daddy, make me a lane paved with cobblestones when we get home. It’s a lot of fun!” she begged Pierre.
“Sure.”
One of the bodyguards knocked on the door, but nobody answered even after a long while. Although they could hear sounds of movements within the hut, the people inside refused to speak, nor did they respond to the knocks.
“Open the door!” the bodyguard cried.
“Alright, stop yelling. It’s obvious that the owner doesn’t want guests.” Pierre stopped the bodyguard from acting out.
Despite what happened, Selena wasn’t about to give up. She walked up to the door to tap on it before asking, “Hello, Doctor Werner, and pardon the intrusion. We came to seek treatment from you, so can you please open the door?”
Similarly, her pleas went unanswered. Just then, it began to snow. The flakes of snow that fell were moderate in size.
One of the bodyguards approached Pierre. “Mr. Fowler, since it’s snowing, we should leave right away before more snow renders the mountain trail even harder to walk on. Besides, I’m unsure if the young master and young mistress are able to stand the cold in the mountains.”
Pierre looked at the overcast skies above. Seems like the snow isn’t stopping any time soon.
Meanwhile, Juniper and Jameson spread out their palms to catch the falling snow. “Jamie, look at my snowflakes! They’re so beautiful.”
