(Running Through Time) ~ A Yearbook of Chase and Marshall ~

Chapter 12: A Rough Christmas (Winter)

"Rubble! Keep your voice low!" Ryder also yelled.

Suddenly, a massive earthquake shocked them.

"Everest, hurry up!" Jake was out already and asked the Husky to get out as fast as she could.

Everest escaped from the pile of snow with that hole Rubble dug quickly. She jumped away from the pile.

"RYDER! CHASE! WATCH OUT!" Jake screamed panickily. Rubble, Everest, and Jake had escaped from the scene.

When those two looked up, it was almost too late.

"Chase, GO!" Ryder lifted Chase and threw him as hard as he could to avoid the avalanche.

"AH!" Chase landed on a thick snow. Ryder threw him quite far from the location. "Ugh..." Chase tried to regain his consciousness back.

"Chase! Are you okay!?" Everest walked to that Shepherd and helped him to get up.

"Yeah, I suppose... Wait, RYDER!" Chase noticed something wasn't right and approached the location.

A new pile was created from the newest avalanche. Chase, Rubble, and Everest tried to dig the pile. But, in the middle of their digging session, Chase smelled something.

"W-wait... I remember this metal scent..." Chase dug faster and was shocked with what he discovered under the pile.

"RYDER!"

Ryder was wounded at the head and blood went out from his head. His face was almost fully covered with the snow.

"I believe that avalanche also carried some stones, and hard snow also damaged him. It must've hit his head earlier." Jake concluded. "Anyway, I knew some way to prevent the blood from spilling further. Chase, Everest, Rubble, try to find some help first!" Jake approached the blood-washed Ryder and did what he can do.

Chase contacted the base immediately.

"MARSHALL! GO TO THE ICE MOUNTAIN, NOW!" Chase screamed.

"C-Chase! C-calm down! What's going on there!?" Marshall, hearing his brother's panicked tone, also panicked.

"Ryder, he... he... HE BLED OVER! QUICK!" Chase stuttered.

A loud noise could be heard from the other side. It looked like the news was spread quickly like a fire from the whole Paw Patrol's pup tag.

"We'll hustle as fast as we can! For now, make sure that Ryder's blood doesn't flow faster, and position him that he won't bleed too much!" Marshall advised.

"Jake did it already! Hurry up, dear!" Chase hung up the call and went to his owner.

"I tried to hold him as long as I can, but we better get him to the hospital now! Everest, take your snowmobile now! We need to carry Ryder to the hospital!" Jake ordered Everest to do so.

"Alright! Wait!" Everest ran to their cottage where both Jake and Everest live together and guard the ski resort's safety.

She jumped on her house and turned it into a snowmobile. After doing so, she drove to Jake's position.

"Chase, Rubble, tell the others that we will meet at the hospital!" Jake lifted Ryder and went on to Everest's vehicle. "Come on, let's go!"

"Alright!" Rubble ran to his bulldozer and started up the engine.

"S-sure..." Chase, still scared with what did he see, went to his car.

"How's with Ryder's ATV, Chase?" Rubble asked.

"Wait, hmm..." Chase jumped onto Ryder's ATV and pressed something. "Autopilot mode on! I've sent the ATV back to the Lookout." He jumped away, and the ATV went by itself.

"Marshall! Change of plan! Jake and Everest took Ryder to the hospital, we'll meet at there, okay?" Rubble contacted Marshall.

"Oh, okay! I hope he's okay..." Marshall responded.

"How right I was... something bad will happen..." Chase and Rubble drove away from the ice mountain, catching up with Jake and Everest.
