I'm Dreaming of a Frozen Witch Part 3
Willard hurried down the walk looking for any sign of Zelda. Miss Burkhead was right about the condition of the walks. They were like a skating rink and Willard had to struggle to stay on his feet. Just then he spotted a disturbed drift of snow and footprints that ended nearby. He hurried over as quickly as he could and peered down into the drift. The first thing that he saw was the brown of a coat and then he spotted dead white skin and blonde hair.
"Zuzu?" he whispered as he knelt down and eased her out of the drift. Her eyes were closed and he didn't think that she was breathing. "Zelda? Wake up!" he called as he frantically shook her shoulders and a second later she gasped and her eyes opened.
"Will.... Willard?" She mumbled as she started to shiver violently.
"It's alright. Let's get you inside," he whispered as he gathered her into his arms and hurried into the school as fast as he could go. Students stopped to stare at the sight of their normally straightlaced vice principal hurrying in with a soaking wet and almost frozen Zelda in his arms but Willard ignored them. "Miss Spellman, teachers' lounge, now!" he called as he passed by his office.
"What's going.... Aunt Zelda?!" Sabrina cried as she came out of the office and spotted her aunt in Willard's arms. She darted down the hall and caught up with him just as he hurried into the lounge and deposited Zelda on the couch. "Mr. Kraft, what happened?"
"She fell and ended up stuck in a snowdrift. I'm going to fire Janitor Bob when I get my hands on him!" he grumbled as he wrapped his arms around Zelda and held her tightly to try to comfort her as she shivered. "Miss Spellman, go and find some blankets. She needs to be wrapped up."
Val appeared in the doorway as Sabrina darted out. "Mr. Kraft, what's going on?" she asked just as she caught sight of Zelda.
"Miss Burkhead, go and get the nurse," Willard ordered. He was really concerned about Zelda. Her eyes were open but they had a glazed appearance and as far as he could tell, she didn't really know where she was.
Val hobbled out as fast as she could go as Sabrina came in with a pile of blankets that she had zapped up in the nearest bathroom. "Aunt Zelda?" she whispered as she hurried over to her aunt. She didn't look good at all. "Mr. Kraft, I think I better call my Aunt Hilda," she said as Willard took the blankets and started to wrap Zelda with them.
"Fine," Willard muttered. He knew that Hilda didn't like him but right now he was sure that Zelda needed her sister. He just wished that he knew whether or not he should have Sabrina call 911 as well.
