#eBook The ice maiden's lament by Manisha Yadav
Kayla had been laughing when it happened. Just a quick, startled cry, a slip of the foot, and then nothing. The ice had swallowed her whole, without so much as a tremor.
Not a crack, not a break, not a single sound. How could the ice hold so firm? How could it stay intact when her sister had gone down like that?
Cassie’s breath caught in her throat, a fragile gasp. Why hadn’t Kayla screamed?
It wasn’t that Cassie wanted to relive it, not exactly. But the silence, the haunting silence that had followed Kayla’s fall had become unbearable.
Why hadn’t Kayla screamed as the freezing water closed over her, as her lungs burned, as her body was pulled down into the icy depths?
