As Andie walked towards the gates the wind grew colder and she shivered.
She took a deep breath and crossed her arms more tightly trying to keep the
heat in and the cold out. But soon her legs started to freeze under her
and she had not even reached the gate. The wind started to push her
backwards and she fell to her backside. The sky darkened-darker than she
had ever seen, the trees bent until they almost broke and snow filled the
air so thick that Andie lost vision completely.
Snow froze her hands as she tried to stand and her body was racked with a
violent shiver. Come on, get up girl! She coached herself. Andie pushed
hard but could not for the life of her beat the wind. Snow caked her eyes
and started to fill her mouth and run down her shirt. Her hands lost
feeling completely and her feet were right behind them. With her jacket
sleeve she pushed the snow from her eyes and caught a glimpse of something
that made her sick to her stomach...Storm; eyes white hands overhead creating
such a massive blizzard around the mansion that soon Andie was blind again.
Oh no, she thought. They've turned her against us. "Stor-" She tried to
call to her mentor but was cut off as snow choked her. She coughed
violently. Okay, you can't stand upright so crawl, she told her self.
Andie rolled to her stomach and clawed in a circle so she faced the
direction she had been moving in before. But by the time she'd reached
that position her feet had followed her hands and lost all feeling and her
legs were on their way. She didn't even try to push to all fours but used
her elbows-which still had some feeling-to push herself forward.
Slowly...her arms...lost feeling, slowly...she...grew...more...and...more exhausted,
slowly...she...lost...consciousness...
