Her mother went on later in the evening, and it was really starting to get
cold. Fi pulled the black wool trench coat tighter around herself as the
wind started to pick up. By the time Molly's last song was over they had
cancelled the rest of the days performances and decided that the remaining
acts would wait until tomorrow, and would be performed indoors. Shivering
band members climbed into the MP bus and Ned drove them out to Rick's
little sister's house, where they would stay until the blizzard was over.

That night, around two in the morning Fi and Annie were still awake talking about the adventures they had had over the past few years. After the third cup of cappuccino, Fi and Annie were wide awake with nothing to do.
"What should we do now? I'm never going to go to sleep now," Annie asked.
"Why don't we go see Moargan's place. She is all alone up there in that cabin, and I know how to get there," Fi suggested.
"Have you looked outside? There's a blizzard out there."
"Oh, come on, where's your sense of adventure. It'll only take about an hour to get there and we can take the car that Aunt Melinda gave me. It'll be fun."
Annie thought about it for a couple of seconds before agreeing. She was just as curious about this girl as Fi. "Let's go!"
They snuck out to the old Toyota hatchback sitting on the street tightly bundled up. As Fi pulled away from the house Annie noticed that the heater wasn't coming on.
"Fi, we may have a problem. It's freezing in here."
"Yeah, that doesn't work. Can you hold out until we get to Moargan's?"
"I think so. Let's just get there as soon as possible, all right."

Fi drove as fast as she could under the circumstances, but it was getting colder the longer they were in the car and Fi and Annie were starting to get very tired. It was also taking a lot longer to get to the cabin than Fi thought.
Finally Fi thought she saw a light up ahead somewhere through the trees, but before she could tell Annie she lost control of the car and she drove straight into a snow embankment, hitting her head on the steering wheel. As she began to blackout, she turned to see Annie unconscious and a shadow fall over both of them from the driver side window.
