By the time Frostbite and I heard the thunder, the hail had already started. The safest thing to do was to stay put since I couldn't fly. I was cold but Frostbite was there. I was safe. The shelter we had built was sturdy. I knew it was going to be a long night. I snuggled up within Frostbite and fell asleep. The next morning the hail had not stopped and my shelter was beginning to fill with water. I said the shelter was sturdy not water proof.

"Frostbite what are we going to do?" I asked.

"I don't know, since we are both banned from flying." Frostbite said.

"If Daddy didn't ban you too, you could fly and get Daddy." I said. I started to think. My imagination was working overtime. Then it hit me. "Frostbite, how do you feel about swimming?"

"What's the plan?" she asked.

"Well there is a river near here and it leads to the village." I started. "If we swim underwater it could keep us safe."

"Lead the way. I trust you!" Frostbite said. We braved the hail and ran to the river. I dove in and started to swim with the water toward the village. Frostbite stayed with me. She may not be able to see, but she is a great swimmer. I came up for air and dove under again. I had forgotten how long it was till we reached the village and I hadn't eaten since lunch time the day before. Okay swimming for ages wasn't my brightest idea. I felt my body starting to go numb and shut down.

"Frostbite," I said choking on water. "Help!" Frostbite couldn't see me. She herself was also very tired and couldn't get a hold of me. I started to panic.

"Someone, help me!" I screamed between mouthfuls of water. Soon the water was stronger than I was and I went under. It whipped me around then pushed me back up to the surface. I coughed and sputtered. I saw Frostbite had made it to shore.

"Unn where are you?" Frostbite called. I was pushed underwater before I could answer her. The water was a bitter cold and my lungs ached for air. The current pushed me around like a sack of flour. I finally surfaced coughing and gagging. I then did something feeling as if it was my last chance.

"DADDY!" I screamed before I went under. After being bounced around under water I resurfaced. "DADDY!" I screamed again. I was now really scared. "DADDY!" I screamed again before going under. Once again the current tossed me around and pushed me back up. "DADDY!" I started to cry. As my head was pulled underwater again, someone grabbed my hand. I was pulled up out of the water. I was still coughing and screaming. "DADDY!" I didn't open my eyes think that I was going to go under again. "DADDY!" I kept screaming.

"I've got you baby!" Daddy said holding me close to him. I then looked up and saw my dad. I started sobbing and he held me closer. "I've got you baby!" He then turned his head as I buried my face into his chest. "Frostbite fly to the Great Hall!" he commanded. I didn't see if Frostbite obeyed. I was too scared to take my face out from my dad's chest.

"Daddy!" I sobbed.

"I've got you baby. It's okay, I've got you." he said. I clung to him as we flew to the Great Hall.

Momma was waiting by the door of the Great Hall. She looked like she hadn't had any sleep. I still wouldn't let go of Daddy. I was still crying.

"Unn you had me worried sick..." Momma started.

"No, Astrid. I think she punished herself this time." Daddy said kissing my head.

"Daddy!" I cried.

"It's okay baby, I've got you." he said starting to rock me. I wouldn't let go of him. I was still in shock and very terrified.

"Is she okay Dad?" Asked Hackett.

"I am going to take her to Gothi as soon as she calms down to make sure. She seems to have a couple bruises and from what it looks like she may have broken her right wrist." Daddy replied as if he himself was holding back tears. It took me a good two hours to stop crying, but I still didn't want to let go of Daddy. Daddy then carried me over to Gothi. I still didn't wanna let go of daddy, but Gothi need me to.

"No! Daddy!" I started to cry again as he started to take my hands off of him.

"Sweet stuff, Gothi needs to make sure you are okay." he said.

"Daddy!" For some reason I couldn't say anything else as I clung to him.

"I am not going anywhere sweetie." he said. I still hung on to him starting to finally feel the pain in my right hand.

"How about this then, I will hold you hand okay? You think that will work?" Daddy asked. I pushed away a tear and nodded. Daddy then took a hold of my left hand and Gothi started to examine me. She told Daddy that I had a several bruises and a broken wrist. She also added that I may get a cold. Gothi then popped my wrist back into place and boy did that hurt! She then wrapped it and Daddy told me I wasn't to use it. Daddy then picked me up and took me back to our cots.

Daddy sat me in his lap and rocked me some more. I still couldn't shake the feeling of being terrified. I was still shaking. Momma sat next to us.

"Is she gunna be okay?" Momma asked. Daddy nodded and continued to rock me.

"I think she really scared herself this time." He said. Momma put her hand on my forehead.

"No fever. I hope she doesn't get sick." she then looked at Daddy. "I hope you don't get sick either. You are both soaked." Daddy then looked at both of us and I started to shiver.

"Huh I didn't notice." He said. "We should probably get changed." Daddy then handed me to Momma and she took me to get changed.
