The door falls heavily shut and you decide to look at it a last time before continuing. It looked a little bit more mouldy then the inside of it but it still occurs astounding. The smile not leaving your face as you take a step backwards and then turn on your heels, moving on, physically and mentally.

Your path is covered by thick snow and branches from the trees around. If you would've had a tad bit more trust about your safety in this unknown area you would've stopped to touch the frozen blessing. You listened to some of the branches breaking behind you, clenching your teeth, not daring to look back. After minutes of walking straight onward, you couldn't resist but let yourself fall onto your knees only to pat some white gold with your fingertips. Your hands already pretty cold and you were afraid of your fingers' condition if you would scoop the snow up a couple of times.

Knees going numb in the slightly deep frozen vapour, you laugh out loud lightly. It's not because of the lack of sanity. It's the fun you're finally having. The rustling in the background accompanied by multiple noises that would've made you fasten your pace and tense up normally, you stamped as unimportant for the moment. Whatever it was that pulled you out of your daze, it made you gasp. Frozen in place, the contact of an object with the part of your hoodie that covered your shoulder made you twitch. The cold pooling at your knees, moving slowly up your legs, making you shiver ever so often. The touch was sending waves of could through your body and you didn't know how long you could fight the feeling of moving to make your blood flow again. " n." At this point you just wanted to scream. The deep voice coming from behind doing nothing but making you whimper. But you regretted nothing. You would rather die trying then cower on your spot. "D o n' ?"

Your hand trembled in front of your chest. Not sure if to say something you bite your lower lip. " ." The object on your shoulder blade was removed and you closed your eyes, not taking the words that were spoken properly in. You turn quicker then expected and your hands crash into something that felt like ice. Your eyes blink open at the touch and you're inches away from something that is too close for you to make out the picture.

You flinch a little trying to take a better look. As the snowfall stills, your numb legs feel no longer safe to walk on. The creature chuckles heartily and the sound of it makes your own heart throb with hope. They extent their hand through the darkness of the night and reach for yours carefully. Boney fingers brushed your senseless ones before fabric meet them. You retreat your hand in instant, a low laughter filling the air. Steps are being taken towards you and afore you can realise it, two blue pupils are taking your sight in. With each action more rises into display.

For a second you mistook them for a dinosaur on two legs. Feet touching the cold ground, followed by legs of an animal also made of bone, they stood in front of you. At first they looked skeleton-like. At second glance flesh could be seen. The last step was taken and you felt yourself sucking in the winter air as the predator-like glaze was unveiled from the gloom that showered onto the both of you.

"Hehe, hey. Name is Law." They had some sort of bandana over the lover half of their face which was showing of the jaw of a skeleton. The only human-like feature were the eyes and the slight skin that could be seen between bandana rim and jet black hair. "You know," they continued. " I'm supposed to be on watch for humans right now, but, I don't really care about capturing them." You gulped audibly. Hands in the pockets of their blue puffy jacket, fur of their hood sliding against the wind. The hem of their black and red paid shirt sticking out messily. You manage to cough as they look down at their shredded shorts quickly after facing you again.

They tilted their head to the side a bit, rolling their eyes at the following words. "Now my brother, Papyrus, he's a human-hunting Fanatic." They wiggled their eyebrows a little. At this point you only assume that their a male. He pointed past you lazily. "In fact, I think that's him over there." You could literally hear his smug smile as he spoke. "I have an idea actually." He added as you furrowed your brows. My god your nose felt like it was about to freeze off. "Go through the gate that will confront you somewhere over there." He turned the palm of his hand towards you and made a pushing motion. "If you follow that path then you'll end up at my station. Just hide there until he's gone." This was so wrong, to listen to a stranger. To trust him. But you did anyway and you were grateful for that. Papyrus was literally taller by a head. You didn't think that that was possible. It was hard to stay unnoticed because you couldn't fully hide behind the station since the back was full of ketchup, mustard and relish boxes. Once again, not questioning anything would make your life ways easier. Your breath was rising visibly up and you had to keep blowing into your hands. If this was a game then nobody would've played it because of the low chance to survive this weather alone. You swore to steal that smug guy's jacket at the end of this. Papyrus gave his brother a scolding, apparently Law hadn't recalibrated his puzzles. You didn't quite catch what the whole fuss was about but it seemed important to capture humans. For once you praised somebody's laziness.

You peered past some ketchup bottles that laid around on the counter to get a better look of the two. The taller one seemed to be the true skeleton between them. Flesh nowhere to be found, you wondered why he even wore something, but you let that thought fall again. A long red scarf hung around his neck just like his red worn boots which seemed to hang loosely on his feet. Dark blue jeans looking casual and shirt tucked in. Then again, those were monsters, you should be a tad more careful instead of sticking your head out that much.

"You are no help in any way! What else are you doing all day?" "Hey, take it easy there, I've gotten a ton of work done today. A skele-ton." You covered your mouth, letting little huffs escape at some point as the pun came unexpected. Law was shuffling his feet a little, trying to cover your laughter. You appreciated it deeply but if you got spotted he had to lay in a good word since it was his fault after all.

Not registering that you could now come out of your hiding spot, you found yourself stared down at. Law and his cheeky grin surprised you, making you fall back into the snow. His laughter contagious, eyes squinted shut you joined. He had pulled his mask down, letting you take in the stubble at his chin and small fangs.

"C'mon." He smiled. "Hold onto this, I'll lead you a little further since the snow is going to get unbearable in awhile." He turned, swishing a tail around your hands. You hesitated, you hadn't seen that one before, now had you? Getting a good hold on the tail made of bones he pulled you up on your legs without any effort.

The road was covered by layers and layers of snow and it was reaching your knees. Every step you took felt like entering a pool before getting used to the temperature. Luckily Law had wrapped his tail around your hand tightly as you couldn't hold onto anything anymore. You crash into the snow and your lungs feel frozen. He embraced you gently then, lifting you out of the solid cold. Shaking the icy dust out of your hair he decided to carry you in his arms. Once again a "Thank you.", left your mute lips. What came abrupt was that Law responded. "Stay in there, kitty."

You might have seemed to be asleep but you were aware that he had borne you away from snow and struggle. He had placed you on the ground, head leaned up against a box. Leaving his jacked on you he had left. Disappeared. Tugging the jacket closer, you couldn't decide whether to decamp already. Slipping yourself into the thick clothing you nuzzled your nose into the fur. Warmth spread through your body. Your legs were still frozen, but did you honestly care at this point?

Ice, ice, ice. Nothing else could be seen. You probably had spun around a couple of hundred times. The sign next to the box didn't help you and nor did the glove with spikes on it that was in the box. According to the sign, the crate would appear again in the future with everything that was put inside. No need, you didn't have anything with you to begin with.

The rest of the route didn't contain anything special. every now and then a sign would pop up, buried in snow, and it would give you little tips. A hour had past until you reached a junction. Path up you found a snowman. It remembered you of the trees in disney movies which moved and talked on their own. Yet again, no questions, easier life. They had told you that they always wanted to travel. They gave you their carrot nose to carry it to the ends of the world. Now with vegetables in your pocket you continued east. And for the first time you regretted your choice.

In front of you, the two skeleton brothers, again fighting about something that was most likely unimportant. Shifting your weight back and forth you're looking for a place to hide, till, "Human!" You wince. "You shall not pass this area! I, the great Papyrus, am here to capture you!" Déjà-vu, Law was grinning from ear to ear again thanks to his bandana. You watched as Papyrus kept talking, explaining how he was going to stop you. Puzzles, riddles, etc. Your mind was wandering off again, just this time it was disturbed from going too far as Law ruffled your hair suddenly. "Hehe, he's gone." You sighed in relief. Law retreated his hand and stuck them into the pockets of his shorts. "Hey, um, Pap has never seen a human before and he's pretty excited. I wanted to ask you a favour." You found yourself nodding. "Could you play along?" You laughed heartily, startling your companion. "Do I have another option?" He snickered along to your giggle.

"Absolutely no Moving?" You read out lout again and again. It took you a few moments to collect all your confidence to continue your walk. At first, nothing had happened. But when you neared another station, you pondered if it was here where you were not supposed to move. Ducking in front of the station, you disappeared out of the view, Law's blue jacket rustling as it was being dragged against the wood of the cabin. Whoever it was that wanted you not to move, you for sure didn't want to provoke them. Halfway past the shack, a warm exhale hit your neck. Your heart caught in your throat, you made no attempt to act just yet. The creature behind you spoke, "Do not move." huskily. You took a shaky breath. Just as you were about to forward-roll to get some distance, you spotted the neon turquoise sharp shaped object that was struck through your bright red glowing soul. What was that again? You swore not to get used to this, huh? Your mouth stood agape in disbelief. Dead or not, that was the question here. While the blade was taken back slowly you were clutching the protruding counter. You fell forward into the snow.

Rolling yourself up into a ball, you turned to face your opponent. A dog, holding itself up by its sword, was staring down at you from the top of the counter. Baggy pants with camouflage print swaying in the winter breeze, they growled. What you noticed, they were not looking at you but into their glance looked more directed at space. Blind? They hunched down a little till they reached wanted hight and sprang, boring their shiv into the white gold close to your leaned up head as they landed. Taking in a cold breath, you moved up, pushing yourself between and through the dog's legs only to hide behind them. As they launched their second attack, you took the chance to pet them gingerly.
They froze.

"I've been, pet?" Staying still for a second, you redid your action. "Pet by something that isn't moving." They backed up as you threw yourself into the snow to your left. The dog leaned behind the counter, placing the sword onto the ground. "I'm gonna need some dog treats for this." You took the opportunity to escape into the woods again.

Walking through the forest filled with high trees, you huffed as you found a stable looking stick. Equipping it wasn't particularly hard as it wasn't too heavy. Ready for whatever monster was about to confront you, you sure as hell weren't prepared for your favourite smug faced skeleton to pop up in front of you, hanging upside down from one of the lower branches of a tree. Hands in pockets of his shorts and legs hanging in he air, he was holding himself by his tail apparently. Catching you off guard, he was slapped across the face with the stick. Swinging back and forth, he rubbed his cheek, chuckling. " That unexpected, really?" You grimaced, sticking your tongue out shortly.

"Anyway," He smiled. "Here's something important to remember. My brother has a very special attack. If you see a blue attack, don't move. It won't hurt you. Here's a easy way to remember." He tapped your puffed cheek with his boney finger, mask hanging loosely from his neck. For once he looked serious. " Imagine a stop sign. When you see a stop sign, you stop, right? Stop signs are red." Law held his finger before his eyes. "So imagine a blue one instead." He stops only to chuckle and then pushes the tips of his fingers against your forehead, making you take a step back and blink in surprise. When you opened your eyes again to pat him on his cheek, he was gone. Raising a brow in confusion, you came to the conclusion to concentrate on his words rather then his presence.

Right, the blue attack. The blue blade. You were so occupied in escaping that you forgot to check on your chest. You literally tore the jacket open, inspecting your hoodie. Everything seemed fine. Lifting your clothing as well to examine your chest, nothing looked out of place. Your own sneeze snapped you out of your irritation. This was going to float in your mind for awhile. Tugging the jacket back on, you coughed a couple of times before dragging your feet across the snow again. Luckily you had your knee high socks on, otherwise you've had a worser freezing problem.

Left hand coming up to pull your hood over your head, you stopped for a second. "Where am I?" Worry took over you as you trailed the stick behind you, leaving a light trace that was being covered by the snowfall again. Sighing out, you decided to sing a little. Nothing lifted the mood better than a song.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine." Your throat felt tight suddenly.

"You make me happy, when skies are-", lifting your gaze for a moment, your eyes felt heavy.

"Gray."

"You never know dear, how much I love you." The denied that the quiet squeak that followed came from you.

"Please don't take,"

The lyrics was becoming hard to recall as your mind went fuzzy.

"My sunshine,"

It was night and you couldn't help but fall onto your knees once again. You sniffed, letting your weapon fall. You rubbed your nose and eyes. Not giving up and not wanting to continue, you decided to rest in the middle of nowhere. You were drained. Too tired to keep your eyes open and go on. The cold going through the fabric of your shorts and legs dug deep in the snow, you went out like a light bulb.

Waking up, you slid your hand against your neck. You couldn't remember the last time you had felt this stiff. One leg stretched out, the other was dangling. Dangling? The last time, you remember, you were kneeling in the snow, falling asleep. Looking around, you realised your location. You were laying on one of the bigger branches in the high trees that you were surrounded by before. Sighing out in defeat, you knew who's work this was. You were grateful anyhow. The wind was successfully blocked by the evergreens, and you also were save from encounters with any dangerous creatures.

Rubbing your eyes roughly, you huff out a couple of times, trying to get the cold air out of your lungs probably. Sitting up slightly, you take a chance to look around you. Nothing to be seen. You smile to yourself, rising the sleeves of Law's jacket over your palms and lifting your arms into the air. You yelled,

"Determination!"
