"Run, run, run, just keep on running. No matter how fast, or far you run, they will still catch up with you, your problems, your life, along with the shattered pieces of a heart. These are our personal demons, they're always with us :

Doubt

Fear

Pain

Panic

You can't rid yourself of them, but you can silence them, if you just face them head on."

Author's own proverb

She ploughed headlong through the blinding snow. Each flake was like a shard of glass tearing at her flesh. The tears running down her face however weren't from the physical pain however, but from the deep aching in her heart. She stumbled blindly through the cold wilderness of snow and ice, beneath the boughs of the creaking conifers and skeletal fingers of the birch trees. Every step sapped her strength more and more, yet pushed her forward.

"Man, I've messed up so bad. I never knew she…well…you know…felt that way…if I knew I wouldn't have said such a stupid thing." Tai ran his fingers through his thick chestnut hair, as he grabbed his coat.

"Damn straight you wouldn't. You absolute idiot. I can't believe you let an opportunity like, letting your true love know exactly how you feel about her, by saying something that completely contradicts your heart and thus breaking her heart into atoms."

"Izzy, no offence but we're not all geniuses like you. In normal English please." Matt sighed at Izzy's thesis.

"As I was saying, Tai, you're an idiot and you should have told Sora that you loved her instead of telling a complete lie, e.g. that you only want to be friends. Because, if I'm right, you don't want to be 'just friends', do you?" Izzy explained.

"Of course not! Why else do you think I'm goin' after her, huh?" Tai snapped, flinging open the heavy oak door.

"Well, get movin' ass hat!" Matt bellowed at the young man before watching him disappear out into the snowy landscape.

Her sobs had become inaudible through the bitter howling of the wind, her voice was ripped from her mouth at any attempt to speak, cry or scream. Her tears felt as if they had frozen to her face, but at the same time her cheeks felt as if they were on fire. It hurts so much, my feet, my head, I just wanna collapse. It wouldn't matter, I just wanna get away, to run from here and never return. He doesn't love me, he doesn't even care about me. It was just a stupid dare…it meant nothing to him.

The same thoughts ran through her mind, over and over again, while her head told her one thing her heart screamed another:

There's always hope, you could go back, you can still be friends.

No, he doesn't care, run. Just run, keep going, he cant catch up now.

She was so confused, her head hurt and she felt dizzy. No, don't give in, keep going. She told herself. Her run had now slowed down to a wearied trudge, and the sickening feeling of nausea now filled her throat. Worst of all was the voice, the voice that kept calling out her name, over and over. She tried to ignore it, but it sounded like him, it haunted her.

"SORA! SORA! PLEASE, SOR, WHERE ARE YOU!"

It was no use, no answer Tai was more than worried now. What if she was hurt, or lost. God, what had he done. Please, just a glimpse of her, the sound of her voice, I just need to know that she's alright.

"SORA!"

Her legs felt like lead now, she felt herself slipping away, her head was spinning and she was falling fast. She hit the icy floor with a thud, but couldn't find the strength to even lift her head. She had just about given up. So this is it huh, no true love, no marriage, no kidsThis is it.

"SORA!"

"SORA!"

Leave me alone. Please, haven't you given me enough heartbreak? Leave me alone, please, I just wanna…wanna…sleep. Just… a little…sleep. So…tired…just…need to…sleep.

Sora had now been drifting in and out of consciousness for a while now, but she was slowly losing the will to stay awake. She could barely lift her head from the frozen ground, she had given up.

Tai was frantic now, she had to be around here. It was as if he could feel her presence, she was so close. As he span round he caught a glimpse of auburn.

"SORA!"

He sprinted between the gnarled tree trunks, climbing recklessly over the roots.

Ooh god Sora! I'm so sorry, I should have told you, I should have said those three little words. This is all my fault.

He skidded to his knees by her still and frozen body. A light blanket of snow covered her, she was sprawled across the ground, exactly where she had fallen. He rolled her over, furiously trying to wake her.

She's still breathing, thank god! Please Sora, hang on, please.

He took off his large overcoat and wrapped her almost lifeless body in it, cradling her close to his chest. For a moment, her eyes flickered open, but showed no life. All the fight, all the fire had…gone? What had he done? How could he do this? She was alive, but barely.

"Tai?" her voice hardly a whisper

"yeah it's me, come on, lets get you back to the lodge." He spoke, but she didn't seem to hear him, as she drifted back into her sleep like state.

"Sora! …..Sora, come on try to stay awake. Please!" He started running blindly into the barrage of constant flakes. He had to get back fast, for Sora's sake.

Hold on Sora, I promise I won't let you down. Please, just hold on. I need you, you're more than a friend, I just need courage. Courage, my crest, I can fight monsters, slay beasts but I can't I can't find the courage to say three little words. Please Sora pull through, I promise I'll find the courage, the courage to say "I love you."
