“You are too far!” shouted Edwin, Cavdazer lowers himself and grabs Edwin with one hand, Cavdazer pulls Edwin up the rope, the pressure increases, it’s becoming too heavy, the rope slips out of Drew's hand and slides off the rock. The rope swings towards the edge of the cliff, “HELP DREW! GRAB THE ROPE!” shouted Edwin. Drew ran towards the rope like a cheetah running after it’s prey, Drew grabbed hold of the rope and pulled as hard as she could, but the weight was too much. The edge was coming closer rapidly, Drew kept on pulling, by this time they were less than a metre away from the cliff edge, “DREW!” shouted Cavdazer and Edwin together, their life passed before their eyes, looked like a certain death for sure. “AAAAARRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” screamed Cavdazer and Edwin at the top of their voices. Click! They stopped, they were hanging on by a single ice hammer that Drew had grabbed and stuck into the snow. “Are you guys alright!” Drew screamed,
“Get us out of here” shouted Edwin,
“Try and pull yourself up!” said Cavdazer, Drew pulled herself up and gained a steady grip on the ledge. “Try and climb up, I’ve got you!” shouted Drew. Inch by inch Drew pulled Cavdazer and Edwin up “Thanks Drew, Cavdazer you both saved my life, how can I thank you?” said Edwin,
“Umm… You could make us some of that mouth watering hot pot,” asked Drew
“Yeah that would be nice, I haven’t had hotpot for ages,” said Cavdazer.
GROWL… A sudden noise came from behind them, “what’s going on?” exclaimed Drew,
“Over there!” shouted Edwin; however, it was dark, they couldn’t see what was behind them. Suddenly, a gigantic polar bear leaped out in front of them, Drew, and Edwin sprung out of the way as the polar bear jumped on Cavdazer, “HELP!” shouted Cavdazer, “Watch out!” shouted Drew, BANG! Drew threw a safety flair, the polar bear was momentarily stunned as Edwin dragged Cavdazer to safety, “Come on behind this rock” Yelled Edwin, Drew and Edwin dragged Cavdazer behind the rock, at this point Cavdazer wasn’t moving, “Cavdazer!” shouted Edwin,
“Shush, we’ll attract attention” whispered Drew. “Hey Ed, what’s that on the ice?” she whispered softly,
“I think it’s a remote, shall I go and get it, it might be a radio, we could call for help” said Edwin,
“Yeah be careful though, try not to attract the polar bears attention” called Drew. Edwin carefully rolled across snatched the remote and rolled back behind the rock. “Got it!” said Edwin,
“Let us have a look then,” said Drew, “Hey! This is a remote control for the US government,” exclaimed Drew, with surprise,
“We had better keep this safe, give it here I’ll look after it,” said Edwin cunningly, as he puts the remote in his side pocket. Edwin throws another flair as they run into a cave. As the polar bear arises another polar bear appears behind, “what’s that tag on the polar bears leg?” said Drew,
“What tag?” said Edwin,
“Hey, that tag looks like the remote that we found, you know, the one from the US government, pass it over here” called Drew. Edwin paused for a minute,
“Hey, Cavdazer is waking up,” shouted Edwin,
“What happened?” said Cavdazer slowly,
“You were attacked by the polar bear over there” said Drew,
“What polar bear?” said Cavdazer,
“Over there, come on lets go and see if it’s gone” said Edwin, Drew peaked out of the cave and to her amazement saw the polar bears setting up traps, “look at this they are trying to trap us” stated Drew,
“Hey Edwin! Look at this! What are you doing over there, stop playing with that remote, it could cause serious damage” said Cavdazer,
“LOOK! The tags on the polar bears legs are lighting up! Edwin, why is your remote bleeping?” said Drew,
“Never mind, leave me alone!” shouted Edwin sharply, Edwin sat still not making eye contact with Drew. “Let’s follow them” called Drew,
“Yeah, ok lets do that, Edwin you coming?” shouted Cavdazer,
“Yeah sure” said Edwin,
“Hey it’s pretty dark and windy out there” said Drew,
“We better get our ski masks and flash lights on,” said Cavdazer,
“Yeah good idea, but we better stay together,” said Edwin with concern. The team set out after the polar bears, the polar bears crossed thin ice that looked like it would snap like a match stick, “we’re not going over there are we?” said Drew,
“Do you know another way around?” said Edwin sharply,
“NO” snapped Drew,
“Well then we better hurry up, the polar bears are getting away!” shouted Cavdazer. One by one they crossed the thin ice, “ok, I’m over, who’s next?” shouted Cavdazer,
“Ok I’m coming over next” shouted Drew, Drew stepped onto the ice, “DREW WATCH OUT!” shouted Edwin, Edwin ran quickly across the ice like a high speed train, grabbed hold of Drew and dragged her onto the snow, “the ice is cracking, RUN!” shouted Drew “RUN! the polar bear is catching up with you, grab my hand, just a little further!” called Cavdazer, as they ran for their life, the ice was cracking rapidly, they were about a metre away from the end. “AARRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” shouted Drew and Edwin as they fell into an ice pool, “DREW!, EDWIN!” shouted Cavdazer, as he ran, he managed to pull Drew and Edwin out, both Drew and Edwin are in shock due to the coldness, “let’s get you two wrapped up, we have got to press on” said Cavdazer. They continued following the polar bears, the polar bears went into a secret cave, “LOOK! there, the polar bear is standing up, and punching in a password” called Drew,
“Wow, it’s amazing, how!, I mean who! is doing that,” said a confused Cavdazer
“hey look at the tag, it’s lighting up, and so is the remote from the US government, give me that Ed” said Drew. At first Edwin was hesitant to give the remote control to Drew, but Edwin had begun to realise that his secret was out, and the only way he could prevent it from going further, was to kill and destroy all the evidence, hence, get rid of Drew and Cavdazer. By not giving the remote control to Drew, this allowed him to come up with some sort of scheme to eliminate the evidence.
“Edwin, give me the remote control NOW! What are you playing at, you are putting all our lives in danger!” Drew exclaimed, but Edwin pretended that he didn’t hear what was being said, although, this gave him the time to put his scheming to the test. Eventually, Edwin gave the remote control to Drew, but before he gave it to her, he had already programmed some new codes into the remote so that no matter what or how they tried to control the bears, they would always turn against them. It was beginning to get darker outside, and the snow started to fall swiftly down, covering all the tracks that would lead to the secret hideout, therefore, hiding any evidence that they were there. Edwin’s plan was becoming more and more apparent, his plan was working, though neither Drew nor Cavdazer, suspected a thing.
“Edwin, why are you just standing there? Come and help us, we have to control these bears, but how!” both Drew and Cavdazer said. Edwin knew how to control these bears, but didn’t tell them at all. All along, even when the bears attacked them previously, this was all part of the plan that Edwin had devised earlier, with the government, to try and not only prevent the truth from being found out, but to also prevent the truth from going any further.
The government had planned to eliminate any evidence tracing back to any connection that they had, with these genetic mutations that were created. Edwin had been part of the experiments from day one, but was threatened by the government, that if he ever did spill the beans about what was going on behind closed doors, both him and his family would be eliminated, without a trace. Therefore, had to keep quiet about what he had seen. However, now that Drew and Cavdazer both knew about the experiment, both him and his family were in danger, the only way that he could protect his family and himself from harm, was to destroy any trace that would lead back to the government conspiracy. In the meanwhile, Drew and Cavdazer were still trying to control the bears, but were having no luck whatsoever, they turned to Edwin, “Tell us how to control these beasts, whatever we try, just doesn’t work, what do we have to do?” Edwin looked cunningly at Drew and Cavdazer, and stated, “I could tell you what to do, if I feel like it, but, I don’t feel like it, all I have to do is press this one little button and no-one will ever know that somebody was here! I could destroy every single one of you and leave no trace or evidence that a murder happened” he laughed hysterically. Drew and Cavdazer were even more confused then before, Cavdazer turned to Edwin and asked, “Edwin, what are you talking about, what has been going on?” Drew then exclaimed, “Edwin, this isn’t like you, what has happened to you, tell me what happened!” Both Drew and Cavdazer were beginning to feel afraid, as they didn’t know what was coming next. Edwin still laughing hysterically, pressed the button by accident, the polar bears turned on them, there was no where to hide or run, even for Edwin. There was only one logical explanation as to why the bears turned on both Drew and Cavdazer, and on Edwin, the government had found out that there were some others who knew about these experiments, and wanted to destroy all of them. However hard Edwin tried to stop the bears from attacking, nothing worked, the bears behaviour was out of control and beyond his reach.
“What has gone wrong! I can’t control them!” said Edwin panicking, “What do you mean you can’t control them?” shouted Cavdazer, “are you saying that all this time, YOU were controlling the bears! All this time!” exclaimed Cavdazer. Edwin knew that his secret was out, and to make matters worse, so did the government, he had no choice, but to tell them the truth, in order to save their lives and to save his own and his families lives too.
Edwin started telling them the truth, “A while ago, before I came on this expedition with you, I was working for the government, who had decided to experiment with animals and electronics. They decided to capture the polar bears and implant an electronic chip into their brains, so that they could control their every thought and move. These experiments had been going on for many years, there were tests carried out on these bears, eventually, when the tests began to become successful, it was decided that they would put these polar bears out into the wild, to monitor their behaviour. I was sent on this expedition by the government to monitor the behaviour, little did I know that there were more people employed to come on this expedition. I was warned by the government that if anyone ever found out about what was going on, my life and my families life would be in danger, and as the government were behind the whole plan, they could destroy, without leaving any trace or evidence. “ Drew and Cavdazer were listening relentlessly to what was being said, the polar bears were still on their tails, but somehow, the polar bears were distracted, which gave them that extra bit of life.
“When I realised that both of you were on my tail, and had suspected something wasn’t right, I had to do all I could to protect myself and my family from being harmed. The day we found the remote controls, I re-programmed them so that the bears would be under my every command and that I could make them do whatever I wished them to do. Then today, when I came with you, I realised that the secret was out, and I had to destroy all the evidence that linked the government conspiracy to what was happening, so I turned the bears against you, but all didn’t go to plan, as the government had already found out that someone else knew about this. It was too late for me to do anything about it, so I feared for my life and for the lives of my family.” After the truth was told, Drew and Cavdazer, realised that the situation they were in, was irreversible, and that they were all hanging onto life by a short thread, there was no time to hate, there was only time to try and survive. By this time, the bears had turned their attention back onto them, this time however, the bears were on the rampage, and were destroying anything that was in their sight. One of the bears grabbed hold of Drew and started to violently shake her, there was no way that she could escape the grip of the bear. Edwin grabbed hold of the bear from the back and wrestled him to the ground, therefore, relaxing the grip on Drew. Edwin had now crumpled under the weight of the bear, eventually he stopped breathing, Edwin had died trying to save Drew. However, while Drew was being attacked, Cavdazer had managed to escape. There was still one person out there who knew the truth about the government conspiracy, little did Drew and Edwin know, that Cavdazer was too, working for the government, as an undercover explorer. This shows that the truth is still out there about the government conspiracy, but where, no-body knows. The snow began to fall swiftly and heavily, covering up any evidence that there may have been.
