"Gods fucking hell!"
Morana raced after her sister, but the slopes were too slippery, and she simply couldn't run at full speed. She saw her sister tumbling further and further away.
Grumbling and setting her jaw, she dove forward, throwing her arms in front of her and landing belly-down on the snow. She slid down the slope, keeping her arms and legs tight together, making herself as streamlined as possible. Compared to Lisbeth's tumbling form, she was able to pick up more speed, and catch up to Lisbeth before disaster struck. She grabbed for whatever she could find, catching hold of Lisbeth's belt. She yanked hard on it, twisting around so she could brace her heels against the ground. Snow flew up all around them as they skidded to a halt.
When they finally stopped moving, both of them sweaty, out of breath, and covered head to toe in snow, Morana looked at her sister and said, "It had better be a damn good bow."
