"Whoa!!" Emma screamed as the cat in her arms almost jumped down. She caught Pixy again quickly. But, because of that, she slipped and fell heavily on the ice. Fortunately, Pixy was still in Emma's arms.
Crack! Crack! CRACK!
Emma's eyes widened. She immediately glanced at the ice under her body which started to crack longer and wider, "OH NO!" she exclaimed.
Emma immediately stood up from her prone position with Pixy in her arms. She didn't care anymore whether the cat would be squeezed or suffocated in her arms. But she really tightened her arms to lock the cat so it couldn't run away again.
Crack! Crack!
The cracks under Emma's feet got bigger and worse, until... CRASH!! The crack broke. Emma quickly leapt forward slightly because having difficulty balancing as her feet kept slipping. But apparently, the cracks that led to the broken ice seemed to follow her footsteps.
"RUN!!" The scream of the man on the riverbank woke Emma from her shock.
