Chapter 4 Hoping
A while back Ace pov
I watch as Luna walks into the forest with a piss off look. A frown plastered on my face. What a party popper! It was just an innocent snow ball. I do feel a bit bad though and that snow ball was for Thatch. I walked up to Marco and Thatch only to see that they looked a bit worry. I watch as they both grew frowns on their faces while looking up at the grey clouds.
"Hey what's up with the faces"? Ace watch as his friends looked at the path Luna took with a worried look. They know something. Before Ace could ask Marco answered for him.
"They're going to be a snow storm, yo. We need to get back to the ship quick before it hits us". I look up to see the gray clouds that are now almost towering over us. I'm surprise we didn't see them earlier. I hope Luna ok.
"Ace you have to go after her! It was your fault she left in the first place." I looked at Thatch who seem to look pretty worried and pointing a accusing finger in my face.
"If there is a storm coming we don't want to be in the middle of it yo". Marco said with authority and a tone that said no arguing. I node in agreement.
"It was my fault so I will go but Thatch you did duck so you are part of the reason she left". Marco and Thatch both looked surprised, then they both grew a huge smile. God what a creepy smile. Why are they smiling?
"Good job Ace! Your finally growing up yo". Ace watched as Thatch just nodes with a stupid grin on his face.
"Hey what does that mean? Are you implying something"? I watch as my friends walk back to the ship with a knowing smile plastered on their face.
" Hey, I'm talking hey"! I was a bit piss but walked into the forest to look for her.
"Luna where are you? I'm sorry that snow ball was for Thatch. Ohh answer me dammit" I screamed out her name but herd nothing. A frown cross my face as the snow started to fall. The snow didn't bother me as they just turned to steam when they touch my skin. Where the hell is she? I continue to call out for her and the snow started to fall a little faster. After an hour of looking, Ace was just getting pissed because the snow storm finally started and still has not found her. Shit! I can't even see in front of me anymore. I hope Luna was smart enough to go back to the ship and not be out in this storm. I can just hear her as I walk into the mess hall and see her with a mug of coco with a smirk on her face. Ace turned around to walk back to the ship since because he has not found her then she must be at the ship. That still didn't stop this worrying feeling in the back of his head telling him to keep looking. I'm really worried about her because the temperature just drop drastically! If she still out here then this is very, very bad! In these situation I am so happy to be a fire man! I decided to continue to call out to her just in case.
"Hey Luna you out there? Where are you! Say something"! Dread wash over me as I heard a sound over the howling wind. It was small and faint but I turned towards the sound anyway to check it out just in case. I hope it was just an animal. I started walking in the direction I heard the sound coming from hoping to anyone it wasn't her. As I walked closer I felt fear coiled in my stomach. Ace stopped when his foot landed on something that did not feel like snow. I looked down to see a pile of snow that did not fit into this seen. Ace quickly fell to his knees and started thronging/melting the snow around one corner. Ace paled to see Luna face appear from underneath the snow. As quickly as he can he threw the snow off her. Her skin was a pale white, her lips had a horrible tint of blue, and Ace could see a small trickle of dried blood on her forehead. Oh god no. This is all my fault. Ace gently wiped away the snow that continue to fall on her face
"Luna you ok"? Ace hoped she would answer but nothing happen. I put a hand over her face and felt her breath come out in a hard puff. Good she still breathing. I lifted her out of the snow and held her close to my body. She was cold and felt stiff like a dead corpse in his arms. Ace shook his head to get the thoughts out of his head. I can't think like that! She is still breathing so I just have to find the ship! She is so cold. With a determine look Ace walked through the snow that was up to his knees. With Luna in his arms he sank deeper in the snow. The snow was falling so bad that he was walking blindly. Dammit, I can't see a fucking thing! I need a shelter or anything will work! I have no clue where I am going but she can't die on me. She saved my life back then so now I will save hers! I held her closer to my body to try to block out the snow that was falling. I felt her shiver in my hold but I guess that's a good sign. She is alive, right?
