Candle Light;3 Darkness Engulfing

We traveled for miles until about noon, then we slept. We slept by day and hunted by night, even though you couldn't tell the difference except for Father's golden chain watch, since we were in a darkened period. Wolves could tell which was which though, and still only came out at night. We traveled to the Kenia Mountains and searched everywhere on the mountain. One day, we were sitting at our campfire, preparing to slumber, when I heard a noise, a kind of sqwak. "Father, did you hear that?" He sat up, "Hear what Cheyenne?"

I layed back down, "It must have been nothing. Good night Father." He cuddled up in his sleepingbag, "Good night Cheyenne." The next day, we were scaling the mountain in cold, icy, snow that pelted us like glass. Father stopped and stooped down to shine the glass protected candle on the snow. He was looking for tracks. He found none and finally the snow made us surrender and set up our thankfully sturdy tent.

I awoke in the middle of the night and the blizzard was over. I told my father and he took down the tent and we slept outside instead. He was getting ready for bed, and put out the fire. All the light we had was the candle light. Suddenly, the candle light went out. Father said, "Cheyenne, go get the matches and I'll light it back up." I looked for the matches and pondered how the candle coukd have gone out when it was protected by it's glass shell. It took me maybe ten minutes, but I eventually found them.

I returned outside of the tent. "Father? HelloI suspected ?" I made my way through the dark and lit the candle. Father was no where to be seen. I suddenly saw footprints in the snow.I suspeced them to be Father's and follwed them about thirty feet across the mountain. They lead to the edge of a cliff and stopped at the edge. I fell to my knees, fearing the worst. I sat there, not moving, the darkness engulfing me.
