Singe didn't wake up the next day, or the next day, or the day after that. Jack was anxious to get moving, but there was no way to take him anywhere. He was to heavy to carry or to drag and he made no signs that he was about to wake.

"If he doesn't wake up soon, we'll have to leave," Jack snorted.

"Leave? Like leave him here...alone!?," Theresa spoke horrified by the thought.

"Yes, we will. We need to keep moving away from here, like I said early it's a long way to Qurxoon Falls and we'll never make it there alive at this pace!"

"Well...we can't just leave him!," Theresa whined.

"Oh yes we can," Jack said," and if he doesn't wake by tomorrow, we will."

"It's all your fault anyway, Jack! You did this to him! And all because you wanted to battle and be raise your strength!," she spat angrily at him.

"My fault?! This is my fault?! No, I refuse to take responsibility for this. It's a two way street, I didn't force him to battle, he did that on his own!"

"You didn't need to knock him out, though! If you wouldn't have done this we'd be 6 mountains away right now!"

"Not at the speed you travel," Jack muttered.

Before Theresa could give a snide comeback, I interrupted," Hey, hey, hey. Calm down. Even if we wanted to leave Jack, we couldn't; Singe is the only one who knows where the tunnels are and can help get through them."

"yeaaahh," Theresa sing-songed maliciously.

"And you," I turned to her," Need to stop obsessing about Singe! It's ridiculous, he'll wake up when he wakes up. For now, leave him be!"

"Well he needs to wake up faster," Jack grumbled.

"How can we do that, wise one?," Theresa snapped at him.

"I don't know! Maybe we can wake him up with a surprise noise or something.."

"Like yelling in his ears...?" Chance asked.

"No, not like that. With a surprise...sensation," Jack smiled and walked to where Singe was laying on the floor.

"Wait... what are you doing!?," Theresa leaped to stop him but before she got there Jack had already set off a Fire spin, lighting the tunnel ablaze.

I heard a deep long howl ring in the air and saw Singe running from the flames. He wasn't watching where he was going and ran straight into Theresa! Jack released the Fire Spin and galloped gleefully to where Sine and Theresa lay on the floor. Theresa had her eyes closed and Sing was starting to stand up shakily.

"Aright! Welcome back, Singe. Glad to have you!"

"Theresa! Are you okay," I went to her side.

She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling," What happened?," She moaned, grabbing her head in her paws.

"Singe ran you over... on accident."

She snapped her head to see me," He woke up?"

"Yeah, he just did," I smiled.

"Do I look okay, Violet," She smoothed the fur down on her stomach.

"You look great," I giggled as she slowly stood up. We both turned to where Singe was standing with Jack.

"You know who you are?," Jack questioned him.

"Singe."

"How did you blackout?"

"A battle...with you wasn't it?"

"Yes, where are we right now?"

"In a mountain."

"Where are we going?"

"Uhmm...through the mountains?," Singe said questioning his answer.

"YES! Awesome he is good to travel. Great, let's get moving!," Jack cheered on the way to get his bag.

"Are you okay to travel?," Theresa walked over to him.

"Should be fine, not my first blackout," he winked at her.

"I could see that, you almost beat him."

"Almost is never enough," he sighed.

Theresa looked around, awkwardly trying to fill the silence between them. She looked to me and widened her eyes, asking for my help, I just shrugged and walked away. That is all you, I thought. If you want him, you have to talk to him.

"Grab you bags, let's go," Chance bellowed backing out of our "campsite".

Walking through the tunnel now, it was different. Jack used to be silent and cold to Singe, but now he laughed and talked with him about the battle. The mood was happier and it seemed like we made it to the end of the tunnel in no time. The wind howled outside the opening, I shivered just thinking about walking in it.

"We can make it down by nightfall," Jack said confidently, leading the way into the frozen storm.

The walk down the mountain was more like a slide down the mountain, the slope was almost entirely ice. I screamed the whole way, terrified that I would slide right off the mountain and fall all the way down. The wind was hitting my face like a whip, sending chills through me, making me scream louder. Chance was concerned, but he couldn't get to me, he was sliding faster and faster until he hit the bottom and tumbled into the snow. Next Jack flew into the snow bank, followed by Theresa, then Singe. I was last and when I hit the base of the mountain I flew into the air above the rest of them and landed fast first into the snow, yelling the whole way.

This time Chance rushed over to me," Are you okay!?"

"Yeah.. I just never want to do that again. EVER!"

He chuckled at me, "I hope we never have to."

"Brrr," I shuddered at the thought of sliding down the mountain again. "Where do we go now?," I sat up from the snow, looking around. I saw the mountains we just came from and the mountain we were climbing next. The next mountain was huge! I mean colossal! I had to look straight up at the sky and I still couldn't see the peak! We were in a valley type thing between the two mountain and all there was around us was snow and rock.

"Now, we'll find a place to stay for the night," Chance was now looking around too and seeing our lack of options.

"No, mate," Singe approached us," We have to keep moving, nothing down here for us. We need to make it to the next tunnel," he hiked his bag and walked towards the next mountain.

"Really?! The next mountain, already!?," I squeaked, mortified at it's height and how steep of slope it was.

"Yes, if we move now we might make it before sundown Bluey."

Jack didn't argue and neither did Theresa, they both obediently found their bags and followed after Singe.

"Seriously!?," I whispered to myself in disbelief.

"Let's go, scaredy cat," Chance nudged me.

"I hate this!", I mumbled.

This mountain, like I thought, was much worse than the other. The slope was icy and steep, which was hard enough before it started to sleet. The sleet made the icy wet and even more slippery than before, but slowly we walked. It was hardest for Jack because he didn't have claws he could dig into the ice, only hooves. It was difficult for me too, with my cast sliding away from me.

He slipped and slid down the mountain a few times, not all the way down, but pretty far. I never slid down the mountain but I fell down a few times, managing to catch myself before sliding. When Jack slid, we had to go back and get him; by the third time, we made a game plan to walk behind him and help push him out the slope. It worked out well, until nightfall.

When the sun slipped behind the distant mountain peaks, the chill in the air rose. The sleet began to freeze and rain down on us as little balls of ice. HAIL! REALLY, HAIL! NOW OF ALL TIMES: HAIL!, I was screaming mentally at all the obstacles that we had faced so far on our short journey.

First Chance is taken by the Hunter, next we get separated, then I break my ankle and we almost are killed by Mightyena. Theresa has meltdowns constantly and chance is so worried about being recaptured. Now we are getting hailed on while walking up a steep icy slope! What's next?!

We continued our slow trudge up the side of the mountain, well after the sun had completely vanished; leaving the path ahead dark and all of us blind to where it would lead.

"What if we passed the opening!?," Jack called back to us.

"We didn't!," Singe grunted against the weight of pushing the Ponyta."Keep going!"

"Maybe we should stop for the night!," Theresa panted, exhausted from propelling Jack.

"Stopping now would be suicide," Jack said. "It's too cold! We would freeze before dawn!"

"Easy for you to say!," Theresa yelled over the sound of the hail hitting the ice," you aren't doing anything!"

Jack stayed quiet while Chance spoke," How much further, Singe?"

"Not far, I believe! I can't really tell, it's too dark!"

"Violet, do you think you can use you TM?," Chance shouted. "The one that brings the light!"

"I can try!," I toke a step back from Jack and the rest of them as they struggled to hold him. I closed my eyes, this is going to be difficult. Making my own sun, without the actual sun there, would drain my energy and be extremely hard to hold on to. Nonetheless, I focused on my inner light, but there was barely any. I was so drained from the day already, emotionally and physically. I summoned the small ball of energy and opened my mouth and saw a small glowing ball, the size of a tennis ball escape. The light was dim and the ball was so small, I doubted it would do any good.

I held my focus on it, not letting it slip away, while moving it around so we could see which way to go.

"Move forward," Singe shouted to all of us," It should be just ahead."

They struggled to push Jack and I struggled to get a grip on the ice as I continued to hold on to the light. I focused the light right ahead of Jack so they could navigate, while I took small sluggish steps staring at the ice beneath my feet. Chance said something so I looked up and stepped forward, loosing my footing. I slid down slowly at first, digging my claws into the ice but it wasn't enough to stop. The ice felt like it would tear my claws out so I let go and began tumbling down. I was flipping and sliding, and the ice scratched, burned and stung my entire body. My cast was throbbing with intense aches but that was the least of my worries, I couldn't see anything but white! I hit my head again, against the frozen slope-hard. The black creept into my vision, making the white disappear and my mind go blank.
