He noticed her smile and relax. The rumbling stopped sometime later. "Washu?" Tenchi asked as he saw a blurb on the wall.
"Yes. Hi. I have some bad news. Sasami got scared when she heard the rumbling and went to find you two. We don't have any idea where she is," Washu said.
The picture had some static, before dying out. "Tenchi! We have to find Sasami!" Ayeka shouted with fear for her younger sister.
Tenchi nodded and they piled on several layers of clothing. They went to the door. There was just enough space for them to squeeze out of the door and onto the thick layer of snow.
"We should split up. There is a better chance of finding her," Tenchi said as he spotted several routes to take, "You take the left, I will take the right."
*~Ayeka~*
Ayeka took the trail Tenchi told her to take. She looked up and caught a few sparkly snowflakes on her eyelashes. She continued to trudge through the deep snow. "Sasami!" Ayeka called, hoping to hear Sasami.
Ayeka feared that Sasami was buried beneath the snow, cold and alone. Ayeka quickened her pace. She hoped to find her sister soon. She tripped in the deep snow. She fought to save her leg from the cold grasp of the snow.
"Sasami!" Ayeka called again.
Ayeka took a quick step forward. She was up to her chest in think, heavy, white snow. Ayeka managed to push herself forward one step, but screamed out in intense pain as her foot got
caught in something.
It was biting her ankle mercilessly. Pain throbbed from her foot. Ayeka felt a cold, scared shiver run through her. She had to get out of the snow and save Sasami!
~^~Sasami~^~
Sasami was huddled in the cabin bedroom. She felt cold, scared and alone. She missed her sister and Tenchi. "I have Washu and Ryoko here though. Maybe they can give me some comfort," Sasami said quietly.
Sasami emerged from the room into the den. "Ryoko, Washu, I'm scared," Sasami whined as a tear ran down her face. "Oh, no!" Washu gasped, a hint of panic in her voice.
"What is it Washu?" Sasami asked.
"I just sent your sister and Tenchi too look for you. I'll try call them and tell them I found you," Washu said. She tried to communicate with them, but no luck.
~*Tenchi*~
Tenchi looked up to see the sun begin to set and head off to the cabin. He told Ayeka to go back when she saw the sun set.
He hoped she had some luck, because he didn't find a thing. He headed back to the cabin. He entered the cold interior of the cabin. The lights had gone out, but the fire was just barely crackling in the fire place.
"Ayeka?" Tenchi called.
No answer. He called again with the same fate. "I guess she is still out. She should be back soon," Tenchi said aloud.
*~Ayeka~*
Ayeka knew it was just a thorn bush by how the pricks felt. She struggled to free her pant leg from the entangeld mess of the weed. The cold was catching up with her. She shivered.
