A sense of foreboding engulfed the group. Zee and Zen started searching around them for any other way to go out. They collected all large stone they could find and arranged them in pyramid form. Zack looked at them and said " it is better to stay here till weather is cleared because this valley is protecting us from direct assault of blizzard". Lily agreed they collected small branches they could find to form small fire with gas container and lighter. They melted the water to make it drinkable and ate cold snacks and set up the camp to wait till storm passed.They stayed there for one whole day and it allowed Zen's wound to heal from basic first aid they did. Lily sutured her and gave it full coverup with heat from fire her situation did not deteriorate.
Lily went to resting Zen and said " I am sorry because of my anger we chose this route not only you were injured but we are experiencing more difficulty in breathing". Zen smirked " yes that was your fault but I forgive you, and this injury was due to my own carelessness. I don't blame you for that and difficulty in breathing is for you will all three have experienced much worse". Zack made small pyramid from those stones only problem was stone on top was still lacking a bit and it was small and only light weight could try to jump over it to reach the top. But any height was useful to reach the top.
Zee wanted to go first but Lily said " wait let me go first I am lighter than you too and I am sure I could jump over and bring you all out". She mainly didn't want Zee to get injured as she was one of the stronger team mate and Lily was tired making them support her. She started climbing and reached the top of the pyramid but the stone was too small and Lily braced herself and jumped but she fall short. She had few scratches from the fall but she still continued. She never once showed her irritation and after 8th try she jumped over. When she was hanging from the top. It became more difficult as there was nothing to hold but cold slippery snow.
After hanging for a while her hands were numb when Zack shouted " use your upper body strength that I taught you in the training". Lily took a deep breath and finally climbed to the edge. She didn't waste any time and tied her rope to nearby tree and with a pulley like maneuver she first pulled out Zen and arranged for her to rest Zack and Zee climbed up themselves and finally they were on the safe ground.
