That was a fast update! Thanks for all the reviews, and guys, this will be a very long...

story. It will have AT LEAST (our goal) thirty chapters, probably more, and there will be seqaul.

I have heard opinions that this story is mostly Winter, and it's true, and the sequal will be mostly Aedna and her struggles.

So if you like Aednat a lot, just hang on!

This is Ignites work, not mine.

I lit a small fire in my hand and placed it on the wood. I looked at the burning fire, staring at the many colors it created. I admired it, then it went out.

"The wood's wet. The fire won't burn." I stated.

"Here." He said as he blew wind on the wood, causing it to almost instantly dry.

"Thanks." I said with absolutely no emotion.

"No problem." He said. "So, are you starting to trust us?"

"No."

He shrugged and walked away.

I don't know why I don't trust them, but something about them just strikes me as, well wrong. When Chet was grabbing me, I knew it wasn't to hurt me, but his touch seemed to send a chill through my body. Like fire being blown out, it seemed to sap my strength. Son no, I don't trust them, and it might be a while until I do.

I wandered around the campsite for a bit, thinking of what to do. I went to a puddle of water and stared at my reflection. I looked horrible; my stable boy outfit was covered in scorch marks, my hair was a mess, and my boots were caked with mud. Turned to my tent, and went to change.

When I got back out, wearing an emerald green dress, Winter was skipping around camp.

"Winter! What are you so happy about?" I laughed.

"My heart's on fire!" She laughed. "I'm in love!"

"In love? With who?"

"Calder!"

"What!?"

She stopped skipping. "Do you still not trust him?"

"No!"

She glared at me. "Well I do. There's nothing you can do to stop me. I like him, and I think he likes me too."

"Winter, they could be dangerous." I said I a calming voice.

"I know he's not dangerous!" She yelled.

"What about your wedding?"

"I don't care about my wedding!" The cried. "I don't need to marry some prince I don't know!"

That's when I really realized how much she cared for him. Nothing but that could make her change her plans. I was about to apologize and talk to her, but she kept going.

"If you don't care about that! Then I don't want to be your sister anymore." She growled as she ran off.

"Winter wait!" I gasped trying to catch up with her.

She wouldn't stop, she ran faster and faster. She jumped over roots, dashed und4er branches, and dodged trees with lightning speed. I did my best to copy her movements, but my foot got caught in a tree root. A searing pain shot through my leg and I tumbled to the ground. I tried to get up, but my ankle crumpled when I put weight on it.

''Oh Winter. I'm so sorry." I whispered as tears of fire dripped down my cheeks.

So, what do you think?

If anything doesn't match, tell me, because we cut it off because it was going too fast.

I'll try to update today, and if not, Monday or Tuesday, because I can't update on Next weekend.
