A Winter Of Ghosts (The Waking Series) - Plot & Excerpts
The snow slowed and the wind began to relent at last. By the time they were halfway down, the mountainside and the park below had been transformed into an idyllic winter scene. Any other day it would have been beautiful. The heart of the storm had come and gone, and the aftermath was white silence. But until she knew Hachiro and the others were safe, Kara could see only menace in the snow. Her father walked beside her, grabbing her arm when she stumbled but otherwise not trying to hard to protect her. He didn't baby her, and Kara felt grateful for that. She wondered about frostbite, but until they reached the heated bus there was nothing any of them could do for themselves or for each other. They were in this together and her father knew that. Miho and Sakura walked ahead of them, accompanied by Miss Aritomo and two other teachers who had been chaperoning the ensoku. The roommates huddled together, trying to share a modicum of body heat as they hurried down the mountain. From time to time Miss Aritomo glanced back at Kara and her father, worry etched into her face.
