Poison Snow White
Sabrina woke and rose from the cloud of heavy mist her head was in. Her arm was sore, from the blood loss she knew. Kris was leaning over her. She gathered her legs closer to her body defensively
''Hey...'' Kris said quietly. ''I'm sorry.'' She looked down to the torn cloth that was once bandages around her wrists. Kelly... Kelly had done this. Oh my God Kelly... somehow... she somehow felt it.
''You ... are Sabrina.'' she uttered. It was not a question but a statement. ''You... were down there... in the basement...'' She saw her close her eyes at the sound of these words, as if fighting a memory.
''You saved me... you saved me back then.'' she knelt next to her and took her hands lightly in her own. ''Do you remember the fire?''.
Sabrina opened her eyes suddenly and Kris could swear for a second that she could see the same flickering flames reflect in her brown eyes. She did remember. ''I'm sorry... I'm sorry I hit you... I missed you... I am sorry...God I am so sorry...'' she stopped as a sob ripped through her.
Sabrina clenched her jaw and awkwardly wrapped her hands around Kris. She wasn't sure why she was crying, she wasn't sure she was the person she though her to be. She was so familiar yet not. She remembered her, in a fire, but it was like she had never seen her before that. Everything was so mixed up that she felt nauseous. She was Sabrina Duncan. She had a husband. Did she have kids? No... she had an ex-husband. No kids.
She was a police officer.
No... not anymore. She was a private investigator. An intercom.. Charlie... Townsend. He fired her didn't he? Not sure, no... he would though. Panic. Panic! Where, where am I? Where have I been?! What? Basement? No, no, no, she didn't want this memory, go away. Go away.
''Go away!'' she screamed. Kris let out a small yelp and got to her feet. Sabrina nodded. ''No... you.. I'm... sorry.'' she mumbled. Kris shuddered from the cold. Something was very wrong with her friend. So very wrong. She seemed confused. Natural for a person locked in there for six years, she thought.
''It's okay.'' She looked around. ''Jo left. You think she's coming back?''
Sabrina shook her head. ''No.'' She sighed. ''She's gonna ... get herself ... killed.'' she said with a smaller stutter this time. Kris nodded.
''I can't watch after her now. We need to get Kelly out of this place. '' She rubbed her sore eyes. ''How are you Sabrina? You look a mess. And... I still ... cannot believe you're here... it's...'' she stopped to wipe the few tears that threatened to roll down her cheeks. ''I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I missed you...we missed you... so much ... '' She didn't attempt to move closer. Sabrina had a strong sense of territory, now even more. She had been alone for so long. It would take time for her to heal if she could, ever. For them to heal. Kelly's shallow breathing was a reminder that they had to move. Now.
Cold. Cold, so cold so freaking cold. Jo felt the cold freeze her lungs. She had walked, she had run and now she was too cold to move on. The snow was frantically blasting on her. It soon blended into a snowstorm. She was somewhere within the white. Lost within the pure untouched white. She fell on her knees. The last thing she heard was the howl of a lone wolf somewhere in the distance. Her eyes shut on their own and her last conscious thoughts melded with an odd calmness. The acceptance of the inevitable. Soon the snow covered her inert form,until she was buried completely.
