Chapter 19: The Axe
We searched all day, and found a cold fire pit in the old ice-fishing hut and nothing else.
By dark the hunters had gone home to their stoves.
I stood on Halvard's porch with the thermos he had pressed into my hands, and I listened.
The lake was quiet.
Then, from far out on the white, came a ringing sound.
Iron on ice.
Over and over, patient as a heartbeat.
"That's an axe," Halvard said.
He had the rope over his shoulder before I turned around.
We went down the slope at a run, the husky ahead of us with her hackles up.
The moon had risen late, a hard bright half.
It lit the whole lake.
A hundred yards out, a small figure in a lilac cardigan stood on a plate of ice and swung an axe.
She swung it with her whole body, grunting, and chips flew up silver.
Lucan was already on the shore.
He stood at the edge of the snow with his hands hanging, watching her, as he had watched the lake every night.
