Prologue

It was freezing in Washington! It's colder than New York! I stretched my sweater sleeves over my hands and hugged myself to try to calm down my shivers. I tried to turn up the car's heater temperature, but it was already set on the highest. Dumb Fiat.

"Aren't you cold," I asked my sister. I was amazed by the minimal amount of complaints she had for this whole trip. Her moss green eyes were focused on the nearly empty road ahead and it took her a while to process that I asked her a question.

"No, I'm wearing like four layers," she replied with much sass. She glanced over to me and showed a small hint of pity. Courtney is 19, she just recently got her driver's license, so she's always a little on edge when she's driving. I don't blame her; I don't like driving either. You know how in car games you can run over garbage cans and lamp posts? Yeah, well that's me as a driver.

I repeatedly rubbed my hands on my thighs for one last chance of warmth. It wasn't much use; I'd turn as cold as my heart in a matter of minutes. Maybe we should've went to Bali. I sighed in defeat. I blew out a breath of air and watched it turn into fog. Stupid cold weather. I leaned my head to the side, beneath the passenger side's window, and settled for watching snowflakes fall and melt against the glass. A blur of evergreens and all kinds of firs rushed by in the background. The sun was beginning to set, but no bold colors were surfacing against the dull grey sky. A dash of movement caught my eyes. Two huge accelerating figures were amongst the trees. Wolves, maybe? Wolves are common in Washington, right? I straightened up and tried to get a better look at them, but the shadows curved further into the whimsical forest.
