Ice splintered like gunfire. Lena's boots skidded on the glacier's lip, wind clawing her parka hood back. Marcus plunged first, his yell swallowed by the abyss. She lunged, fingers snagging his harness—too late. The rope snapped taut, yanking her down.

Darkness crushed in. Snow packed her mouth, tasting of salt and frost. She thrashed, elbows scraping unyielding ice. Air burned thin; her lungs screamed. One gloved hand broke surface. She hauled upward, nails splitting on crust, until moonlight stabbed her eyes.

Gasping, Lena sprawled on the rim. The crevasse gaped black below, wind moaning through it like a distant train. Marcus's rope dangled, frayed end whipping in gusts. No weight on it. No tug. Her stomach knotted. 'Marcus?' Her voice cracked, lost in the howl.

She crawled to the edge, goggles fogged. The glacier stretched endless white under aurora streaks—green veins pulsing overhead. Their camp was miles back, tent shredded by yesterday's storm. Supplies? Buried or gone. Her fingers trembled unlacing her pack: one protein bar, half-frozen water bottle. Enough for dawn, maybe.

A sound—faint, muffled. 'Lena...' It rose from the pit, tinny against the roar. Her pulse hammered. She leaned over, beam from her headlamp slicing fog. Fifty feet down, a shadow shifted in the blue ice glow. Marcus? Alive? 'Hold on!' she yelled, voice raw.

She knotted the rope to her ice axe, hammering it deep with shivering swings. Chips flew, stinging her cheeks. The line fed down, end vanishing into shadow. Silence. Then: 'Grab it.' Relief flooded her—hot against the cold seep. She braced, muscles coiling.

He climbed slow, grunts echoing up. Ice groaned under strain. Ten feet from top, his helmet crowned the edge. Frost-rimed face, eyes wild. 'Pull,' he rasped. She heaved, veins bulging in her neck. His glove clamped hers—slick, wrong.

Marcus hauled over, collapsing beside her. Chest heaving, he grinned through cracked lips. 'Thought I was done.' But as he sat up, unzipping his jacket for the bar she offered, something glinted in his pocket. Her satellite phone. The one she'd sworn was lost in the tent.

'Where'd you get that?' she whispered, wind dying to a hiss. His grin faltered. Below, another voice scratched up from the crevasse—not his. 'Lena... help.' She froze. Marcus's eyes darted to the dark.
