Next Chapter! Sorry it took so long, we had A LOT of Summative assignments to do.
I didn't have much time to do it, so it's really short.
Stupid Winter. I thought as I rubbed my burned wrist. I make all of the plans, me! Not her. Why does she have to take everything from me!?
"Aednat?" Chet asked, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." I grumbled as I hid my face.
"Come younglings, we're almost there!" Raina called out to us.
In her arms laid Winter, asleep from exhaustion.
Serves her right. I thought.
Soon, a small, wooden lodge came into view. Snow littered the roof and surrounded the vast landscape. A small, white snowflake sailed down from the dark clouds above and melted as it touched my nose. I shook my head rather un-ladylike and started to walk faster.
"Hurry! The snow is beginning to fall!" Rhinestone called out to us, "Come in, come in." she said as she opened the door of the small lodge.
Inside the lodge wasn't any warmer than it was outside. I could feel myself growing weak and black spots occasionally popped into my vision. I shivered and felt Chet start to wrap his arms around me, but he quickly pulled away, and I was left colder than before. Raina quickly carried Winter inside and put her in front of a small hole in the wall, a fireplace, with Calder following close behind. Rhinestone got two small sticks and started rubbing them quickly together, soon enough, a small flame appeared on the rough wood. The flame danced in a smooth rhythmic routine as Rhinestone edged it towards the fireplace.
I watched gratefully as the fireplace burst into a sea of fire, it calmed me.
I looked below it, and saw Winter. She was pale, well paler than usual, causing the fire to reflect off her skin.
Wait, fire?! I realized as Winter's expression worsened.
I hated her for the moment, despised her even, but I couldn't let her die.
"No, don't do that!" I exclaimed as I brushed my hand over the fire, causing it to go out.
The women looked at me strangely, but I didn't care. I ran outside and gathered a handful of snow, trying my hardest not to let it melt. I rushed back inside and placed it on Winter's forehead. She looked better, but I felt worse than ever, and a wave of nausea took over me.
"You are, peculiar people." Raina said as she watched me.
I laughed silently, "We're more peculiar than you think." I murmured to myself.
I know, stupid chapter. Sorry it's so short.
