“Kittie!” She called out worriedly, tramping through the snow covered ground in the middle of a wooded area. “Kittie where are you?” She groaned in slight agitation as the ice cold wind whipped about her. She tightened her thick shawl around her shoulders and shivered, the raging snow hitting her in the face.
It was midday, she and her very close friend Kittie were taking a walk through the woods in her backyard just outside of town and were talking away, losing track of time quickly. It began to snow, and the wind picked up. Before they knew it they were trapped in the middle of a blizzard, and lost track of each other, and instead of heading back to the house and having her two sisters help find her, she decided to backtrack as much as she could, deciding she was not going to leave without her best friend. “Kittie!” She called out once more, scared for her life, all hope in her tone and mind lost.
“Lilly! I’m over here!” Was the response she barely heard through the howling wind of the blizzard.
“Kittie! Oh thank god, I thought I lost you! Hang on; I’m coming over to you!” She replied, her eyes lighting up at the sound of her friend’s voice.
“No, don’t! Just go without me!” She called back, and this time Lilly noticed fear in her voice, possibly even pain.
“What do you mean? Are you alright?” She ignored her warning and followed her voice, picking up on faint tracks in the snow. She noticed as she followed the footsteps, drops of some red liquid colored the snow by them. Her eyes widened, barely hearing Kittie’s response as the amount of blood in the snow grew with each step she followed, until she came to a tree, with a body sitting up, back leaned against the trunk, in a pool of blood. “Kittie!” She practically screamed in worry, racing over to her, dropping to her knees beside her. “What happened?”
There were tears half-frozen on Kittie’s cheeks, blood spilling from her mouth and the gaping hole in her chest, a few inches below her throat. It looked as if someone with the fist the size of someone’s head went completely through her!
“I told you to leave me, Lilly….” She muttered, tears fled from her eyes when she blinked, looking up at her friend. “Now it’s going to get you, too.”
“What is?” Lilly asked, speaking her mind. She pulled off her shawl and wrapped it around Kittie. “Come on, we have to get back home and get you to Delilah! She’s a doctor and can help you.” She said before putting one of Kittie’s arms over her shoulder and hoisting her up. As soon as she did so, there was a roar in the distance, and it was not the wind. Lilly froze, listening. That was no roar she had ever heard before in her life.
“You need to run, Lilly. Save yourself, before it’s too late….” Kittie mumbled in her ear weakly, before falling completely limp in her arms.
Lilly suddenly thought her heart stopped when her friend went limp. “Kittie?” She asked, but there was no response. “Kittie?” She asked again, shaking her friend slightly, stuttering in fear. She easily set her down, sitting her upright, and shook her by the shoulders, the shawl falling off her and disappearing, carried away by the wind. “Kittie, talk to me!” Tears fell down her face, the sudden realization of her best friend being dead.
Then there was a cold, devious laughter from right behind her. Lilly gasped in surprise and whipped around, looking up at a tall, gorgeous woman dressed in black, long, raven hair rested around her face, oddly untouched by the blizzard, and ice blue eyes staring down at the small blond.
“Let me reunite you with your friend.” The woman hissed out as cold as the winter, and she raised her arm and reached out to Lilly, and the last thing heard was a shriek of pain, lost within the wind.
